@DrTomFroese Request: Can you write for everyone (this is hard for anyone outside the field to grasp). One hack I have seen is to explain (inside bracket) a jargon (e.g. chirality) the first time it is introduced in a thread. Thank you.

The constitution of the regional ontology of living being involves the absorption of degrees of freedom from underlying regions. Chirality is a likely signature. If so, we should think twice before creating mirror life, as it may void this absorption. nature.com/articles/d4158…

@radhika_agar Proud of you. Here is 5️⃣ for getting back: Build India into what you found attractive compelling in the US. I am sure it is not money. It is so easy to make money (and keep it) in India. Is it the kind of work you could do, and the personal growth you could see, in the US?

I've had my whole saga with the US visa system: 3 H1b lottery misses, cross-border long distance relationship through it all, finally getting L1 visa approval, and then deciding to come back home in '19, giving up the L1 I wanted so badly... I still can't fully articulate why I gave up the L1 to come home🇮🇳 6 years back, but I can now say it was the best decision I've made so far. Why? 1⃣ Learning from a rapidly evolving startup & VC ecosystem (both its mistakes & wins) 2⃣ Close to parents in the moments that matter: celebrations, health scares, pandemics 3⃣ Much deeper community, no feeling of being an 'outsider' 4⃣ Can quit my job and take bigger career risks without wondering how that affects my visa status If you're looking at the new H1b announcement (or the climate in general) and wondering 'should I move back' - this is your sign to say HELL YES :) Over the last 6 years, I've built a network of founders, operators, investors in India (largely consumer tech & consumer brands). If you're moving back to India and considering working in these spaces, DM me your LinkedIn / background + what you're looking to work on, and I'm happy to share it with folks in my network to help make your move easier!🇮🇳

The amount of money you make in the next 10 years of your life is typically more than all the money you made in all your previous years total. Wait till people start to believe that they will be fitter for 20, 30 more years. Global wealth will explode. A silver tsunami is coming, but in the form of unseen wealth.

@Designed2Think @drcateshanahan Angreed. Anr that should be the most point. Not summarily rejecting all seed oil. Doing so is not science. It is religion.

@SaravananOrg @drcateshanahan They certainly did not prepare the oils like they do today.

It's published! The energy model of insulin resistance: A unifying theory linking seed oils to metabolic disease and cancer Here’s the link to the full text. Let’s make this the most downloaded paper on their website!! Here’s my summary: The paper proposes that seed oils, by causing oxidative stress, force cells to change their fueling strategy. The result of that is metabolic disease and cancer. It works like this: Oxidative stress suffocates cells. It puts them into a kind of survival mode, and activates genes for bringing sugar into the cell. That's called aerobic glycolysis, which is now understood to be the main mechanism driving cancer! At the whole-person level, many cells stealing sugar from the bloodstream all at once lower our blood sugar. That causes hypoglycemia, and then you get a flood of stress hormones. This is immediately practical. Wonder why you feel hangry? That's why. And yes it means you have insulin resistance. Cancer and insulin resistance share the same root cause. So if you get hangry, you are at higher risk of cancer. This paper explains why insulin resistance and cancer are rampant among youth. They were tragically born and raised on more processed foods than any previous generation. Seed oils are the worst ingredient in processed foods. I tried to make the theory airtight. But I appreciate anyone who wants to poke holes. Writing this paper consumed many hours over the past few months. Keeping me away from terribly important things, like posting on X.

@shirodkartejas @dharmeshba @AmuraHealth Ture. I haven't had the time to do anything other than putting out the fire all systems were breaking. Next week is likely to be better as most of the things are now under the control.

@dharmeshba @SaravananOrg @AmuraHealth Turns out even the founder hasn't spent time talking to customers or learnt addressing quality or trust issues.

So the company that treated @vidya_balan overcome inflammation is @AmuraHealth. I tried registering for their program. Lost money and time. Here is the story. Trust me its funny. Just like Vidya Balan, Amura also doesnt work out 👇

@Rohanagrawal001 @dharmeshba @AmuraHealth We are simply overwhelmed Rohan. It happened to startups all through history when an event like this happens. There is no rule book on how to act in a situation like this. No precedence. No time to even think. Or sleep.

@dharmeshba @SaravananOrg @AmuraHealth Founder with his reply confirmed where that apathy was coming from, they believe 4k is peanuts just to keep customer engaged until they have bigger team. Even if we believe that, didn't they had a SOP before? If yes was it like this? Or did they choose to not follow due to rush?

@MrAbhi_tweets @dharmeshba @AmuraHealth Possible. It did not occur to me when I thought of it. We will drop the process.

@SaravananOrg @dharmeshba @AmuraHealth Sir, you missed the whole point. The initial consultation itself was flawed. Anyone wold feel bad when they pay money and services aree not up to mark.

Hi Dharmesh, I founded @AmuraHealth. We are a small team, love to remain quiet and focus on doing good medicine. In our seven years of existence, we never advertised, never went out asking for business. We grew only through word of mouth. Before we went viral two weeks ago, our NPS was 80+ and the Google review had 4.9 stars. The lone single star we had was from someone who didn't buy from us because she though we are expensive (she said so in her review). We got incredibly lucky that Vidya Balan mentioned us. But it came quite unexpected and we were not geared for national fame. Every one of us is pushing ourselves beyond the limit. Many of us doing customer facing jobs are pulled from other functions (and hence never done it before). To protect the service quality, we closed the booking and announced wait-list on the website many days ago. But now people got upset even more! I came up with an idea (I am to blame for this) of an initial consultation at 4k as a gate fee in order to discourage people who are not serious. This money would be rolled into the full fledged program when they sign up. I am taken aback that of all the people, someone who researches on customer insights, should pay the money AFTER agreeing with the clearly spelt terms (I know; I wrote it) and then go on X to bully us. Not done brother. Never the less, tomorrow I will arrange to return of your 4k, along with that of everyone who doesn't want to proceed further with the full program. Also, as a gate, we are going to front-list anyone who could give us reference from other Amura alumni. More references the better. It will take a couple of days to code it and role it out. But we will have it ready by the weekend. We grew only through word of mouth. Why change it now?

So my Rs.4000 has gone to drain. Decided to not continue. The team also did not follow back nor gave any response and Im assuming they let it go. (Because now they are famous and are flooded with requests) Another case in point. Never trust any celebrity endorsement. @vidya_balan is special and will be treated but you will not be. Vidya Balan is their CAC Thier customer support is their churn. Its not inflammation, its just frustation. Conclusion: Delete the reel and sleep at home. Save money.

@naval At @AmuraHealth, we treated an astrocytoma patient in 2019 to target 11 essential features of cancer he is talking about. The patient is still around and the size of the lesion hasn’t changed! My blog post from 2017 gives some outline: saravanan.org/best-cancer-pr…

This one is worth watching.

@kmr_dilip We are building this at @AmuraHealth, not just for India but for the world. Sending you a DM.

If you are a product builder or healthtech enthusiast there is a great opportunity to serve the the latent demand for a new approach to preventive healthcare for consumers. Most hospitals and pharma companies will underestimate this. But the next trillion dollar company of future will be a healthcare company. Some thoughts i've been brewing: -Reimagine staying healthy with a fresh consumer UX. It shouldn't be boring. -The company that inspires behaviour change will unlock a massive moat. This is the real product. Healthcare companies have to think like a consumer company because they know how to change behaviour of millions of users at scale. -Build products at the intersection of AI + Doctors+ clinicians that translates symptoms to personalised protocols. Retention to adherence is the IP here. -Use personal health data and ingest it into latest scientific medical discoveries to serve proactive insights in user's language. This will drive distribution. Most people know why they are unhealthy. They just don't know how to manage it and improve. Had written this earlier on product ideas on preventive healthcare layered with data.

@RyLiberty WTF Ryan…you are planning to bomb us or something?

If you think Americans are dumb and uncultured you've never been to China or India. It gets so much worse. Some places are teetering on barely above the animals level.

A watershed moment: Google now spends more on compute than on people.

@aaichnairport international arrival is a disgrace to the city. That visitors in both domestic and international arrival must walk through garbage, sun and rain to hail a taxi, that the entire sheltered section is reserved for VIPs, is a disgrace to human dignity.

@storcube @craignewmark "No good deed goes unpunished" reminds me of Silicon Valley Bank's recent act (of voluntarily disclosing their minor trouble, which started the bank run)

Startup founders, listen up! Here are the 3 golden rules from @craignewmark himself: 1. Treat others as you'd like to be treated 2. Master the art of communication 3. Beware - "No good deed goes unpunished." Beware of misinformation for profit.

Closing remark at #VivaLaVida by @DrHertoghe, addressing the doctors in the audience: Because you are a healer, in your presence your patients feel healed

@MillyTamati If you make a Venn diagram of multiple specialisations, generalists operate at the intersections. If the thickness of a circle stands for their skill level, intersections are always taller. More circles, taller intersections. Lastly, these thicknesses multiply, not add.

Writing a collaborative article atm called: "what we wish the world knew about generalists" If you'd like to contribute, your answer will be credited back to you! Just add your contribution in the thread below.

@cacofnix @DrHertoghe Sorry my sentence was poorly formed. Here is what it should have meant: People who live up to 80 have a 25x more chances are getting most diseases than people who live up to 100. Please note that I have rounded-off/approximated the stat.

@SaravananOrg @DrHertoghe 25 times frequency or immunity ?

There is a huge, huge difference between people who live up to 80 and people who live up to 100. The later group has up to 25 times (not 25%) of getting most diseases @DrHertoghe #VivaLaVida
