38yr old male who is case of stable CKD since 2008 with creatinine of 3 & small size kidneys... his kidneys worsened due to covid in March and creatinine went upto 6...told him to be in close follow up ..he didn't listen and started taking ayurvedic medicine
Now creatinine went upto more than 14 & urea 350, not just that his hemoglobin which was in good range during all these years drop down to 4gm and his platelets also very low ..less than 50thousands .. probably due to his bone marrow is also damaged due to these medicines
He was taking these four bottles since last 6 months....they r not cheap Even though..the cost of these 4 bottles is equal to chemotherapy drugs. This is not the story of this patient alone...this is the story of thousands of patients who were lured by these alternative medicine
Since past few days because of some morons started abusing & insulting modern medicine...
I thought of putting my first ever long thread trying to explain what is modern medicine and what is Ayurveda with few examples & expose some superstitions
1/n ...
Allopathy is a misnomer....it is evidence based medicine which keeps changes as per new evidence comes
It consists of not just medicine, it also has diagnosis, diet, excercise, yoga....
2/n Myth: there is no diabetes or hypertension in ancient times...it is pharma push
Fact: Sushruta diagnosed madhumeha in 400AD
We don't have much testing in past, our lifestyles has significantly changed in past 100yrs..we r more sedentary than our ancestors, these r the reasons
