@ramprasad_c Technically it’s not Ayurvedic medicine that benefited him, mostly the diet. There is no medicine involved per the conversation. Perhaps a long term intermittent fast would have had similar impact.

@amitranjan To top this, the federal government wants to increase capital gains tax. Portugal is specifically targeting Indian entrepreneurs for their golden visas. Other countries will follow suit. US is already opening up. The only saving grace is the astronomical growth in tech wages.
