Typos 😑 - but I will clearly **say that this** Govt is the one who really kickstarted this brain rot. - the 10+ years this Govt has been in **power**

This post on traditional medicine from our honorable PM has 19K likes. As an Indian citizen, I am going to go ahead and say a few things that may not be appetizing. Apologies for the long post. 19K likes and 1000s of comments "appreciating" this absolutely useless post which means nothing shows the abyssmal science literacy of Indian populace online. I am not blaming this Govt only, and all Govts are to blame for keeping pseudoscience alive and a "career option" for young minds in India - but I will clearly saw that Govt is the one who really kickstarted this brain rot. These so-called "Summits" , "Deep Discussions" and "Bilateral Meetings" on herbal/traditional medicine, and Ayush are as important as toiler paper is, for the dining table. This whole "eye-wash" is just to keep the emotions among public alive on AYUSH (especially Ayurveda). Since the 10+ years this Govt has been in powder, there has been ZERO clinically beneficial output in Traditional Medicine that has changed medicine. It has always been these "Summits" or "MoUs - Memorandum of Understanding" with "Institutes of National Reputes" - like AIIMS , PGI Chandigarh, IITs or JIPMER and NIMHANS. These MoUs have also resulted in ZERO clinically relvant outcomes in medicine and research from India by AYUSH sector. In fact these MoUs have actually resulted in complete destruction of institutes of repute. In 2017, it was reported that scientists at AIIMS, Delhi, received government funding to research the medicinal value of Panchgaavya - a mixture including cow urine and feces. However, a faculty member, responding to viral claims, stated that AIIMS's Animal Ethics Committee would not permit such experiments. Similarly, this Govt promoted research into cow derivatives through the "Scientific Validation and Research on Panchgavya" (SVAROP) program, which has received proposals from institutions like IIT Delhi - as if this was what IITs where made to do. It is pathetic. NIMHANS, the best neurosciences institute in the country was hijacked by traditional medicine (AYUSH) and is now offering public/ patients "integrated healthcare" which includes a bunch of pseudoscience packages. JIPMER, once a shining post-graduate medical institute is now offering "integrated course" - where students can learn both modern medicine AND Ayurveda together and ruin their lives as well as their patients. Just like these wasted programs, this "Summit" will also cater to the post-truth era that has taken over Indian healthcare and research - where feelings and emotions are more important than science, research and discovery. To give you an idea of how things must be, The Kerala State Govt. recently developed the Centre of Excellence in Microbiome (kscste.kerala.gov.in/centre-of-exce…) that will study population-level microbiota and help improve our understanding of non-communicable diseases and develop precision microbial therapies. The State Govt is also developing a dedicated ₹643.88-crore organ transplant institute in Kozhikode (thehindu.com/news/national/…). These are the "Summits" and "Meetings" that matter, not this worthless Traditional Medicine circus you always put out. And wHO is doing this because India funds them and they are partly a political organization, not a pure scientific one. The brain rot people who keep appreciating you in the comments do not even realize this fact. Look at India's organ transplant status when it comes to patient level - there is not a single valuable national or core organ transplant center in the central government institute. All these AIIMS, PGIs - and not a single proper core transplant program. Dont you think the Indian public deserve better than these tradition and culture based eye-washing and white-washing of pseudoscience? Or maybe the current majority among the public deserves this circus and nonsese only and others are forced to ride shotgun. Food for thought.

@theliverdoc Amazing concept, can I help

Charges INR 10,000 for a phone call after filling up a Google Form for Wellness and Weight Loss consultation. Charges INR 300,000 to come on their podcast. INR 150,000 for "doctors". Will promote pages and accounts and advertise wellness clinics and products through collaborations if they receive those services and products for free or get paid a one time big sum. These are not qualities of a registered and compassionate healthcare professional who claim they are "educating", but that of a wellness grifting businessman.

A man gave 40 years of his life to @TheOfficialSBI, paid taxes all his life, and now at 80, he can’t even claim proper health benefits. Ayushman Bharat insurance? Not working. Is this how India treats its seniors? @MoHFW_INDIA @JPNadda

@journalistaswin @justshailendra economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/save/rs…

@NowPradeep @justshailendra not at all. in their stock market world it must be. These stock market guys lives in a state of false grandeur. they think world revolves around them. I know a guy who took 11 lakhs from my parents saying he will change their destiny. He now lives as beggar in Thiruvannamalai.

Yes i spoke multiple times that no idea of trading or stock market. I do prediction just to check my astrological skills

@journalistaswin @justshailendra Aswin this makes a good story of interest. SSM hijacking?

@justshailendra I dont do trading. But your free advice were good enough to make some money just with stocks. You are right, This is a dirty world. I have seen how restless the stock traders are. I personally know few of them. They only seek instant gratification.

@AmitabhBehar @TheElders @FLI_org Nice creativity.. can you share your strategy. Thanks

@theliverdoc What's your take on trigger point therapy? Is there medicine for muscle pain?

Please hear me out: DO NOT visit chiropractors for any health-related issue. Stay FAR away from them. This is dangerous. This is from an Instagram account of a chiropractor from Delhi who has >250K (misled) followers. I am quite worried that this nonsense is gaining popularity in India now. Chiropractic is a pseudoscientific practice that has absolutely no evidence for any claims made. Its origins lie in folk medicine practice of "bone-setting." You can still see "bone-setters" in suburban and rural areas in India. They are quacks and remnants of a bygone era. A quack who goes by the name Daniel David Palmer, who used to perform magnetic healing, discovered chiropractic practice in 1890s. While attending a Spiritualist Meeting, [he claims that] the idea of chiropractic came to him from the spirit of the deceased medical physician named Dr. Jim Atkinson. The ghost of Dr. Atkinson gave him the principles of practice of a new therapy which considered "body as a 'machine' whose parts could be manipulated to produce a drugless cure." - and voila! Chiropractic was born [that is how scientific this BS is]. Chiropractors dont realize that their practice evolved from the spirited mind of a looney. In 1906, Palmer was prosecuted under the new medical arts law in Iowa for practicing medicine without a license, and had to go to jail. Chiropractors propose that mechanical disorders of joints especially the spine affect health and manipulation (spinal adjustments) improves health - this is of course nonsense. Manipulation of joints and soft tissue (like in this video) are also performed. Apart from the spine, chiropractors also manipulate the patient and family into parting with their hard-earned money and they do it pretty well. Chiropractic practice is termed an "unscientific cult" [much like Ayurveda and Homeopathy]. Multiple systematic reviews and meta-analysis have shown that chiropractic practices have no [conclusive] clinically relevant benefits and can sometimes cause real harm [at times severe harm] to patients. See here pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30867144/, here jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…, here mdpi.com/2077-0383/10/2…, here pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21952385/ and here nature.com/articles/s4159… There is not sufficient data to establish the safety of chiropractic manipulations. It is frequently associated with mild to moderate adverse effects, with serious or fatal complications in rare cases. Several deaths have been associated with this technique. See here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.…, here jcreiterlaw.com/posts/chiropra… and here abcnews.go.com/US/officials-m… Chiropractors are not doctors and they have no knowledge of the human anatomy and physiology. I suggest that no one visit a chiropractor for any health-related problems at any point in their life time.

Massive responsibility on shoulder.... 😎🤗 Bribery Case: Bengaluru Court Restrains 46 Media Organisations From Publishing Any Defamatory Content Against BJP MLA Madal Virupakshappa, His Son livelaw.in/news-updates/b…

@beastoftraal twitter.com/ValaAfshar/sta…

I wonder why he didn't cite his own party's leader, Modi, when referring to 'tough decisions'.

@MahuaMoitra Thank you!

₹8 crores cash recovered from BJP Karnataka MLA’s home, son caught taking bribe. But Bangalore court says that’s no reason to call him corrupt. Restrains media from reporting on issue. BJP’s Operation Gag & Whitewash so amusing to watch.

Sankari?
