Also know the different clinical presenation of acute viral hepatitis A (pic below) w
hich Ayurveda can NEVER diagnose or manage
Acute viral hepatitis A is self limiting
Which means...
2
...doesnt req treatment, only supportive care
Patients improve over few weeks time
All diseases dont require "drugs" to be prescribed all the time
Dont consider this as failure of modern medicine
It is maturity
What does Ayurveda do?
It misinterprets maturity of science...
3
...and advertises it as 'failure'
Then gives herbs and such nonsense and starves the patient (to rest the liver!) - when the patient improves spontaneously, Ayurveda calls it a success of traditional methods.
This is utter nonsense
Ayurveda loves self limiting diseases...
4
...those that improve on their own without any treatment and then intervenes in it and falsely takes
credit - this is integrative medicine
Also known as Quackery 101...
as it fools people into believing Ayurveda did something wonderful, when it did not
Make no mistake...
5
...there are no high levels of evidence for use of herbal drugs for acute viral hepatitis
Now look at hepatitis B and C. Ayurveda has ZERO role in the maagement of these diseases.
Ayurveda wants to treat only those diseases that get cured on its own
7
Also I had (un)fortunate experience in treating many hepatitis A patients undergoing Ayurveda
&came back...
malnourished
more jaundiced
in liver failure
fighting for their lives
bcoz of HERBAL LIVER DAMAGE
Ayurveda has no role in management of any liver disease @pavankamat

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
//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
1/ Ivermectin+doxycycline for COVID-19 symptoms: a randomized trial journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03…
New study included to ivermectin/doxycycline bandwagon
Upfront, luks legit - reported outcomes, as expected favours IVM+DOX in reducing progression to serious disease
Secondary outcome is progression to mild/moderate/severe or death - mild or moderate is included, so ideally it should be severe/critical
3/ Primary measure should have been secondary and vice versa - but none of these fit the title.
Authors mention: We sought to enroll as many patients as possible in a short time. As a result, a priori power calculations were not performed - which means pre protocol sample size..
