 Ayurveda for prevention for Mucor (black fungus)
DONT follow this
Major issues

Firstly - only frequency, but no end point of use is given (for how long) - this is not made by a medical person

Secondly - there is no evidence that none of these herbal drugs prevent mucor
2/
 Third - Samsamani vati is Giloy which is liver toxic - do not use and definitely not in the long term


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

Amla too
4/
 Sudarshan Ghanvati, multiple herbs, most of which when used together may interact and cause organ injury
Some components are known liver toxic
Ashwagandha -
Pepper/piperine -

Prevention👇

 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... Image

 ...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

Action of Liv 52 on doshas isnt mentioned...

This is very enlightening tweet

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
It shows that there are black sheep in the family

It doesnt mean modern medicine is dependent on/or accepting Ayurveda, but that doctors are ready to shed their ethics/morale for money

It also means there are Ayush apologists trained in modern medicine who need to be weeded out
It also shows another imp aspect

That Ayurvedic practitioners, including @deepadoc finds credibility in the pseudoscience of Ayurveda when modern med doctors use it

They hav nothing to showcase credibility as they can only attract patients thru marketing/bad mouthing modern med

Lets break down all your fallacies: short class

// Ayurveda is a science of life
Ayur+veda //

This is just literal translation.
A logical fallacy of Special Pleading

'Please, please, accept this pseudoscience as credible.'
No. Image

//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" Image

//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 Image

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

Antimicrobial discovery follows a method...

This is irresponsible.

More so, this is a sales advertisement that claims health benefits, but has very little scientific evidence to recommend

This is a business tweet

Benefits of eucalyptus oil in humans 4 inhalational purpose is not scientifically proven

Let us discuss

1/
Eucalyptus oil is an essential oil.
Why is it called essential?
It is just falsely named so, to impress on the user.
They are absolutely not essential


2/
There are no humans studies done on eucalyptus oils - as inhalational agents or in other forms to showcase its health benefits.

Very low quality cell, tissue, human data as antibacterial and opiniated reviews on eucalyptus oils exist in literature

Great session moderated by @chiragbarjatyaa on whey protein supplementations.

To add on to this, there is definitely a lot of confusion regarding adverse effects of whey protein in general and patient population

Here is one such paper cdnsciencepub.com/doi/abs/10.113… in which...

1/
...authors mention that (abusive) use of whey (abusive - not defined) was associated with liver and kidney injury

They also mention - chronic use (not defined) and without professional guidance use of whey was associated with (some) liver and kidney side effects

Upfront...

2/
...this systematic review is scary.

It will confuse the reader and deter those who wish to use whey supplements

But, see this letter to the editor by another group of authors criticizing the original paper cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/ap…

One can notice that the paper was...
