Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra (also written as Vaidya RK Mishra) was born in 1952 at Bhagalpur, Bihar, India in a family of traditional Vaidyas (Ayurvedic physicians). He studied Āyurveda from his father Kameshwar Mishra from a young age and then embarked upon formal education from Bihar University (Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bihar University). This was followed by a Sanskrit Degree from KSD University (Kameshwar Singh Darbhanga Sanskrit University). He traveled to the USA to work for MAPI (Maharishi Ayurveda) where he jointly authored a number of books Ayurveda. He revolutionized the teaching of Ayurveda by combining its ancient knowledge and traditional knowledge with modern methods something he called "from sutra to science". This resulted in the formulation of a number of highly effective products that used 21st century medical understanding in combination with the millennia-old tradition of Ayurveda. He is the first Ayurvedic physician to spread awareness about the harmful effects of EMF and EMR, he had taught and spoke about this for more than a decade, long before the recent confirmation that EMF and EMR have biologically harmful effects. He also placed a strong emphasis on diet as a method of prevention and treatment and spent much time researching and understanding the impacts of different foods and methods of processing and preparing foods on maintaining good health.
