On 18.12.2020, computer engineer @FitTuber shared @YouTube video titled "10 Safe & Useful Ayurvedic Tablets to Replace Allopathic Pills (Instant Relief)". The drugs he promoted were by @baidyanathgroup, not sure if it was paid promotion. I bought them:

I followed @FitTuber advise and got all these #Ayurveda medicines which he outright claimed are '#safer', ''#effective' than conventional prescription drugs for day to day use. These will be tested for #safety first - will undergo GCMSMS, ICP-OES and FTIR analyses.

I looked at packaging and found interesting (poor regulation, absurdity), #quackery, #pseudoscience based descriptions like this:
Malaria - caused by parasite
Dengue - caused by virus
Typhoid - caused by bacteria.
One tablet to rule them all. Reminds me of lord of the rings.

This particular #ayurvedic tablet is good for indigestion, hyperacidity and THEN - like a @starwars hyperspace jump 🤯SCABIES🤯. How? Why? What is the mode of action within this very broad range of 'symptoms to disease'. You know this medicine is #fraud.
Also check out 'etc'🙅‍♂️

Ok this is interesting #livertwitter #MedTwitter
26 yr old woman with jaundice+severe itching (a.k.a cholestatic hepatitis). Routine causes - viruses, prescription drugs, autoimmune liver disease blood tests - neg. No #ayurveda or #herbal drug use. Mysterious🤔
Liver biopsy👇

#pathology expert says its #drug induced liver injury. But patient denies any drug use. She has #PCOD - polycystic ovarian disease (mayocl.in/34S2LMh) and hence, #overweight.
Deep dive into history again - says she's taking #vitamins for weight loss! Asked to show👇

Can you identify the culprit component that caused this woman's severe liver injury? #Pathologist is right! #PathTwitter
Culprit - Chromium picolinate in #health #supplement 4 #diabetes #weigthloss. #Chromium is micronutrient enuf in daily food intake bit.ly/3nYNeBB

Sign that country is developing on paper but is actually underdeveloped
Objectionable Advertisement Act prohibit ads 4 purposes, of remedies alleged 2 possess magic qualities

#Curcumin, #Ashwaganda combo prevents NOTHING, effects on human health remain UNKNOWN. This public display of #quackery, #pseudoscience is insult to #science, complete disregard to #publichealth This has to be challenged, removed

Here is a paper showing multiple toxic curcuminoids & associated toxins in #Turmeric. How is this sourced, what R contaminants @HaealOnline product? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20667459/

Dear @doctorsoumya, your tweet isn't in best interest of scientific practice. Yoga is an arm of the #pseudoscience & potentially harmful, untested but highly promoted #AYUSH. In fact, many #quacks promote #Yoga with other forms of #quackery.
Plz C absurd bit.ly/2KGOR8B

I did not understand why you specifically tweeted on this study? Because there is more you could have tweeted on the same.
Example, simple walking, independent of other forms of physical activity is ALSO associated wit reduction in systemic inflammation. bit.ly/38Az1UZ
3
Which means, people don't have 2 SPEND money on 'YOGA GURUS' or join 'Yoga based' clubs or PAY 4 'YOGA' classes when same effect is noticeable with - yes, money free, hassle free, walking. There is also a systematic review on it bit.ly/3pqUab7. But U did not #tweet it?

#India is probably ONLY country where spices are promoted as a '#treatment', '#prevention' of diseases rather than the flavouring foods that they R! This is done by #quackery promoting #government #ayush, #socialmediamarketing #SocialMedia, irresponsible visual, print #media

C this paper, Forsyth et al, 2019.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31550596/
#Bangladesh, adding lead chromate (yellow pigment) 2 #turmeric by polishers 2 satisfy wholesale dealers driven by demand 4 turmeric/#curcumin. #India, many #ayurveda companies marketing #turmeric products. Is it pure?

This paper by Cowell et al, 2017
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
The authors specify that many spices mix and turmeric contaminated with lead causing toxicity in #USA where from #India.
#Indian culture of daily #haldi #milk use is actually one of the stupidest #health #promotions
