1/ Ayurvedic management of Mucormycosis (black fungus)
First author: Professor of Ayurveda, Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya, Hubli, India
Other authors: Post graduate students in Department of Panchakarma, Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya, Hubli, India
2/ Why was study done? (Aim)
Because modern medicine treatment and amphotericin B is very expensive.
Yes.
Not to show that the Ayurvedic treatment is effective
3/
Included patients
High risk --> Covid recovered
Actually no patients are included and there is no patient data in this paper
But, the authors still discuss patients and methods
4/
Preventive methods included:
Yoga for mental health -
being calm and composed with uncontrolled sugars and steroids and with fungal spores around can prevent black fungus infection according to Ayush
Also use Ayurvedic anti-fungals for PREVENTION
5/ Other preventive methods:
Scrape tongue wit neem (herbs contain fungal spores)
Oil in nose (herbal oil can contain fungal spores)
Medicated oils in eye (can cause conjunctivitis)
Take care of liver as it produces immunoglobulins
It doesnt - activated B cells/plasma cells do
6/ Under management comes - PREVENTION
Authors advice drinking cow urine on empty stomach
AND
Fumigate room with cow dung.
Yes. Cow dung.
One of the richest sources of black fungus spores.
This is insane - students are taught and also made to write pseudoscience publications
7/
Diet - avoid sour/salt/spicy
So for a diabetes patient with risk of black fungus infection, what is left in diet?
You guessed right - SWEET. Thats not going to end well.
Also 9 herbal drugs against ONE amphotericin B
So much for expenses and effectiveness
8/End
Authors conclusion is beautiful
The manliness of first author (also the professor and the only male in among all authors) shines through as he proclaims
I RECOMMEND
Ayush ministry must dissolve
Ayush colleges must shut down
In graded manner
Rehabilitate these students

A new patient who came to me said he was promised a liver detox to 'improve functions' of cirrhosis liver. He spent ~ 200,000 INR (2333 USD) for 20 days of Ayurvedic therapy. And luckily escaped severe complications.
