 He started writing on using sophistications 2 integrate ayurveda into mainstream, 4 betr acceptance. However, his interviews, thoughts on medicine are all twisted by #pseudoscience #quacks to show case 'modern' acceptance of #Ayurvedic thinking. It's basically a backfire.
2/
 An interview, published in #pseudoscience journal shows passion 4 the unknown, bereft of scientific thinking.

Translated Ayurveda 'trinity', promotes (unknowingly demeans #science) integrative medicine on media. Not sure if tis improved clinical temper.
3/
 Such integration, false promotion of hope 4 #pseudoscience has led 2 #Ayurveda using new methods on #quackery thoughts. Eg this paper @SciReports. nature.com/articles/srep1…
Basically flawed ideas tested 2 identify clinically irrelevant results which R furthr wrongly interpreted
4/4
 This is more like The Nobel Disease phenomenon rather than actual improvement and use of scientific thinking for bettering traditional practices. 👇

#Ayurveda 2 prevent surgical site infections. Is this the #future? Looks good. But it's smoke & mirrors. How did this start? A team of scientific practitioners (including #orthopedic #surgeon below) performed worlds 1st surgery(prostate)wit only #herbals without antibiotics. 1/ Image
4 yrs back this was published in a newspaper. Yes. The same 'scientific newspaper' deal that ruined real #COVID19 public awareness.
m.timesofindia.com/city/meerut/In…
The authors of 'study' gave 10 days of giloy, guduchi and 'anti infective herbs', & performed surgery in an elderly man 2/
What happened then? Voila! There was no infection and the authors claimed that herbs prevented surgical site infection! This happened after consulting top brains in Ayurveda in the country.
Again this happened in 2016. Thats close to 5 years back. Fast forward. 3/ Image

Heavy metals

Values higher than prescribed @US_FDA➡️ bit.ly/3miSHBM, #India bit.ly/3oV794F
Lead in drugs unheard of in developed countries. #India is developing (currently underdeveloped), hence an excuse. Lead limit in paints 90mg/kg.

#Ayurveda treatment for alcoholic #liver #cirrhosis - case based protocol, described in a case series of 3 patients.
Once again, forget @NetflixIndia comedy shows, this is where all the fun, comedy and jokes are now.

Caution: This limited series will drop your IQs

Introduction:
🔅#Ayurveda is a philosophy. Correct. No therapeutic value.
🔅Uncertainty due to uncertainty😳 HUH?
🔅#Ayush guys got 'sanskrit' spelling wrong 😵 whats with that?
🔅Time to combine evidence based medicine with case based medicine. What #herb is the author on?
2/
🌿Alcoholic is not correct. Alcohol related/associated. More compassion toward patient. But what does #Ayurveda know abt compassion right? Need a herb 4 that.
🌿Specifically note the sentence bad mouthing scientific, conventional care. That's hw these #ayush #quacks survive.

 Here is something #interesting.
Do U know how long it takes 4 a good liver 2 develop chronic liver disease/cirrhosis? 5-10 yrs. At times more. But here is a patient developing cirrhosis in 6wks. Yes. 6wks. Reason?Excessive #energydrink.Which drink?I cant say, but its a scary 1
2/
 Here is the liver biopsy done at the time of liver injury and on follow up at approx. 6 wks. The top panel shows severe fatty liver and liver cell loss, damage/necrosis and the bottom panel, transformation to cirrhosis. Why did this happen?
Ans is a vitamin - Niacin or Vit B3
3/
 ➡️Niacin, vitamin B3, is a water soluble, essential B vitamin
➡️Niacin is also found in many herbal mixtures and energy drinks, sometimes in super doses
➡️Well known cause of clinically apparent liver injury when given in high doses

Here is something funny&sad
Yes. Its about #hepatitis C and #Ayurveda #Homeopathy #Ayush
A thread

1/
 32 yr male. Routine check in 2017, found 2 have hepatitis C virus (HCV) +ve. That is, anti-HCV +ve meaning exposure to the virus & antibodies in blood.
#MedTwitter #livertwitter
2/
 To confirm, PCR test 4 RNA has to be done. Which he did. The viral load was 900,000 IU/L. So he goes to a Gastroenterologist, who checks the virus genotype (it was type 2) and puts him on the fantastic direct acting antiviral Sofosbuvir+velpatasvir for 3 months. All good?
No.
3/n
 He checks Google. Finds cirrhosis, liver cancer etc...gets alarmed and before completing the treatment, checks HCV at 2 months. Finds - anti HCV still +ve.
[note: anti HCV ELISA test STILL +ve]
Feels modern medicine doctor cheated him with expensive drugs.
Enter the dragon.
