Indian Assoc of GastroEndosurgeons (IAGES) inviting Sadhguru as chief guest to its annual "scientific meeting.."

..felt like Fauci inviting Trump to American Infectious Diseases Society meeting to talk on hydroxychloroquine

The homework IAGES missed, on pseudoscience monger🧵

1/ Sadhguru defied the physiology of lactation when he magically flavored human breast milk.

2/ Sadhguru supports the wholesome stupidity that is Homeopathy and defies every logic based on his "water speeches."

3/ Do not believe me? Here is a "water speech" where he completely disrupts logic and sense by claiming transference of thoughts into physical and materialistic aspects using water as a medium.

4/ This one, time, he completely broke down the physiology of digestion by making a mockery out of the human digestive tract and genetics in a single bizarre paragraph.

5/ The time when he discovered a new sub-species among Homosapiens was truly pathbreaking.

6/ Sadhguru is a strong proponent of Siddha system of pseudoscientific & alternative medicine that, one time he ACTUALLY said that Govt & Medical community must allow responsible use of mercury to improve well-being.

Unfortunately, Mercury is a neuro-toxin.

7/ He once called "people with depression" - un-intelligent.

8/ Sadhguru destroyed Forensic Medicine & Toxicology with astronomical logic with his claim that energy during the lunar/solar eclipse converts food into poison in human bodies, giving assassins world over a golden-window period to make impossible to trace hit-jobs.

9/ When India features at 107/121 on Global Hunger Index with one of the worst rates of child malnutrition in the world, Sadhguru gave the country hope by trivializing depression to simply eating too much.

10/ Sadhguru's unsolicited advice was NEVER endorsed by Diabetes Clinical Societies the world over, even though it was bittersweet.

11/ Sadhguru has a real problem comprehending Astronomy and the science behind it. This one time, his random quote generator just went berserk.

12/ One time, Sadhguru saved soil to sell mud to the gullible who believed in him.

13/ Sadhguru's promotion of the pseudoscience Siddha has led to people actually getting poisoned with heavy metals and not finding solace in his words, but in medical science.

14/ This one time when Sadhguru's foundation served a useless, worthless multiherbal "immunity boosting" drink in villages to fight Covid-19, because majority of rural India is illiterate/uneducated & self proclaimed Godmen can easily leech on ignorance.

15/ If scientific societies are giving charlatans/pseudoscience mongers a seat to sit at table of logic/rationality, we are doomed as a scientific community

Find the strength in rejecting pseudoscience/irrationality every chance you get.

SHAME ON Indian Assoc of GI Endosurgeons
