Have YOUR say on future of Psoriatic Arthritis research Take the @BritPACT priority setting partnership survey help identify the top 10 unanswered questions you want research to address: oxford.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/psa-psp-survey… @BritishPainSoc @FlippinPain @loulouscorpio

We just submitted our paper for peer-review which analyzed 134 "popular" Homeopathic products sold in the Indian market funded from our own pockets (we spent quite a bit on this one). This is our penultimate self-funded pro-public health project before we wind down self-funded studies in our clinical research unit. [The ultimate project, I will update at a later date] Our results are mind-blowing and deeply concerning. I hope the media will watch out for this one, because it is really important for Indian (as well as global) public health. I'll update as soon as we can get it peer-reviewed & published (which seems very difficult, considering the controversial, but needful nature of the work). My team has always looked at generating empirical evidence to help people measure health-related information, rather than blindly criticize or opine. We hope this work will also educate and inform.

@Baba_Swaero @theliverdoc @FreddieVijayDev @jsaideepak Allopathic now there's a word I've come to detest on-line & in the real world come to think of it Definitely makes top 10 of my s**t list Why is there a significant number of altmed & theists who are dishonest &/or wilfully ignorant? And they regularly think they have gotchas

@theliverdoc @FreddieVijayDev Everyone knows @jsaideepak is just a legal conman using religion as a weapon in the broken Hindutva justice system.

Another day, another legal notice. This one, from a senior citizen Ayurveda practitioner who claims that I have defamed her, Ayurveda, alternative medicine industry, Indian tradition, Ayurvedic practice and put up her image along with defamatory content on LinkedIn. She wants an unconditional apology and INR 10,000,000 INR (or $1,20,288.50). Only one problem. I am not on LinkedIn and I have never posted anything there🤦‍♂️

@adamfare1996 If you have PIP application/renewal stay in contact with the DWP; receiving PIP means one is living with often debilitating condition(s) Only to be expected we struggle with forms Don't forget to include full name & National Insurance no. on any additional sheets, meds lists etc

@adamfare1996 Within the NHS, 6 different IT systems including 2 for my GP surgery, outsourced delivery of certain meds These add their own stresses; I have over 40 years IT experience including pre-Google internet usage and struggle at times .....

@theliverdoc Worth remembering Hitchens razor, the plural of anecdote isn't evidence and 'You can't trust atoms, they make up everything!'

@theliverdoc Isn't this the same type of alternative(to)medicine that was promoted on #DragonsDen last night in the guise of patient friendly skin cream In addition to the anecdote led presentation other descriptors included 'natural', 'ancient', popularity & wait for it 'chemical free'

Hello, please dont consume mercury. It will kill you. Also please dont handle mercury with your bare hands. It is one of the most toxic substances known to humankind. Also, mercury is not medicinal. It is poison. Conman Guru speaking good English in Gibberish here is shredding chemistry and biology into pieces, it hurt my eyes and ears. I could hear my anatomy teacher whimper while I was watching this video. In our paper on Ayurvedic herbals, presence of mercury in herbal products was directly related to higher risk of dying from liver injury. Please see here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29476406/ Also, one cannot solidify pure mercury at room temperature. One can, if you make it into an amalgam. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=AZPUcK…. Also, Siddha is an utter nonsense pseudoscientific medical system based out of South India. It is as rubbish as Ayurveda but has excellent conmen as its poster boys like this one here. All "medicinal" solid mercury sold on this guys website and by Siddha practitioners is not mercury, but mercury amalgams. Dont fall for this bullsh*t.

@WheelerDax Have to say; last year when I was already struggling with completing & returning my PIP renewal due to multiple health conditions my brother died suddenly in Ireland. I contacted DWP/PIP team to update them on my situation They gave me a much welcome extension & a named contact

Don't forget to do it all over again in a couple of years! 🥰

What applying for PIP is actually like: Get text about PIP renewal. Form doesn't arrive for 2 weeks. The deadline is based on the text, so you have 2 weeks to return it. Painfully hand write the long booklet, cramming answers into small boxes (No online option was offered).

@Capt_Darlingg @TheCinesthetic Before Silence of the Lambs, before Succession there was...... comicbook.com/horror/news/ha…

@TheCinesthetic Do you remember?

What is an image from a film that still haunts you?

@NiecyOKeeffe @Lee__Clayton It's nonsense! 'natural' is meaningless as are ancient, popularity & anecdotes which is effectively what we heard this evening As the saying goes, the plural of anecdote isn't evidence Ayurvedic is an alternative to medicine & includes the use of all natural heavy metals

@Lee__Clayton Thanks!

What’s the name of this skincare range? I missed it. I like the sound of it and I want the balm. #DragonsDen

#craniosacral therapy is very similar to cranial #osteopathy. Both are based on the idea of manipulating "cranial rhythms", which is complete nonsense. Here is yet another paper that found no evidence of effectiveness, this time for headaches: painmanagementnursing.org/article/S1524-…
