Here is an example of exactly HOW NOT to design a study and publish.
A grp of #ayurveda vaidyas published:💡Clinical Improvement In #COVID19 #patients With Timely Intervention Of Panchagavya: Preliminary Finding
💵International Journal of Pharmacological Research
1/n
#MedTwitter

@Scopus

First, choice of #journal. Choose one indexed in valid scientific databases - eg @Scopus, Medline @NCBI, @embase, @EBSCO, @webofscience. International Journal of Pharmacological Research is indexed👇😶
Just bcoz its on Google doesn't mean its quality. #pseudoscience #fake
2/n

@JHEP_Reports

There R indexed and impactful journals charging #openaccess fee (eg @JHEP_Reports) if the institute can afford it. Most quality indexed, impactful journals (eg @HEP_Journal) dont have open access fee to publish, but #Subscription fee for persons to read #published study.

Our invited expert review on #Ayurvedic #herbals and #liver #toxicity. #herbal #medicine is NOT safe. Review on #herbs used in #Indian #traditional #medicine & adverse events is lacking in #published #Literature
We deep searched, compiled
Full paper: bit.ly/35WkCmr
1/4

This #review is important for #ayush practitioners and those interested in opting for #alternative #therapies as #knowledge regarding potential #toxic components is the #right of every #patient and #moral #duty of the physician. This 👇 list show names of imp toxic herbs.
2/4

We give #real #life #patient data supporting our review: such as this example which shows that #Ayurveda #drugs cause severe #chronic #liver #damage that can lead to #cirrhosis in the short term.
The implicated agent here is Holarrhena antidysenterica (Tellichery bark)

This here, is an imp reason why India never get its right in #healthcare. Extreme fanatics like Ms Deepa is always there, effortlessley moving the topic away from science, spewing poison in general, bcoz she and her likes have nothing constructive to contribute to society. 1/3

https://twitter.com/deepadoc/status/1302461144041357314

They take a science moment and turn it to one which has more hate mongering potential, example religion and bring down the good work contributed by others. Who is this lady to proclaim #Ayurveda as #Hindu. Stupid. It is Indian. I'm a doctor from Kerala, but I'm Indian first. 2/3

You are a fool if you did not know that the biggest and largest Ayurveda based industry and practice especially ancient tradititional family business that operate in India and abroad are mostly Christian and Muslim if you did not know about it. Hypocritical bigot. 3/3
