//Millions of ppl are get benefited by this traditional system of medicine//
This is speculation and a bias
Called Bandwagon Effect
You have been hearing it for so long and from many others, you think it is the truth
"Like strongly believing that aliens will come"

//You dint wrote hatred but ur every word expressing tht//
This is answering 'criticism' with 'criticism'
Called as Tu Quoque
It is a very important logical fallacy people make when they are loss for words or reason
Shows paucity in logical judgemental responses

//Yoga is what?? A pseudoscience???
Wht evidence uh need??//
This is called Burden of Proof
Asking me for evidence when you yourself cannot provide it, becoz such evidence cannot be substantiated and does not exist
Yoga is an exercise like any exercise
Its a business too

2/ What is Liv 52?
It is a herbal drug manufactured by Himalaya India
Launched in 1955 😐
Named Liv (for liver)
52 (becoz 'researchers' got the 'correct' formulation coded '52' - at 52nd attempt) docprime.com/liv-52-mddp himalayaglobalholdings.com/innovation/liv…
Contains ALMOST 20 components...
3/ ...making it multiherbal drug
Is Liv 52 Ayurvedic?
According to the principles that guide an Ayurvedic treatment,
Any classical Ayurvedic drug must act on atleast one of the 3 doshas - Vata/Pitta/Kapha - to 'align' it normally
Reveals Ayurvedic quackery infiltration through power of marketing, undertable pay, commissions to general physicians/specialists IN THE ABSENCE OF CLINICAL EVIDENCE
Most products mentioned are NOT classical, but proprietary AYUSH company drugs
No studies on Giloy exist demonstrating fungus preventive efficiency
3/ Nishamalaki vati has amla (gooseberry)/turmeric (haldi) both of which cant prevent fungus
Given as anti-diabetic medicines - no clinical evidence of anti-diabetes effect of both
Turmeric is toxic
India's terrible and nonsense craze about health benefits of cow urine
What are claims?
Kills germs
Protects heart and brain
Protects organs in general
Detoxifies body
Using in eye will improve eye sight
Older the urine, better benefits (?like honey)
Avoid plastic container
1/
Is cow urine good antibiotic, antifungal or antiviral?
This review on antimicrobial function of cow urine is rich in studies conducted on cells and tissue cultures. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
They have reviewed extensively on in-vitro studies between diff types of cow breeds...
2/
...when urine from every cow is same.
Gujarati Geer cow doesnt produce urine quality different from Karnataka Amrit Mahal cow
But yes, there were studies comparing different breeds as per review which is inherently foolishness
