@SidhaantNangia Whats the credible evidence for destruction of gut bacteria?

This whole Diet Coke trend is borderline cringe It’s one thing to drink occasionally and another to be obsessed with literal poison - Diet Coke destroys your gut bacteria - Ruins your teeth’s enamel - Phosphoric acid ruins the bones Such low IQ obsession

"I would request that my body in death be buried not cremated, so that the energy content contained within it gets returned to the earth, so that flora and fauna can dine upon it, just as I have dined upon flora and fauna during my lifetime." ― Neil deGrasse Tyson

@surgery_cancer @kumaranvinay you may find this interesting as did I

@cspramesh It can be but only if victim dies and the cause is clearly linked to that event. Rather than change nomenclature, must aim to weed out such elements in the process. Sufferers will be far more that those who perish

Involvement in the manufacturing, distribution and sale of fake drugs should be equated to culpable homicide.

The Spanish Government just released their exhaustive evaluation into Homeopathy as a medical practice in Spain. They concluded that Homeopathy is a scam and is going to phase it out of the country in due course. Meanwhile Indian Government, led by Narendra Modi's BJP has announced 3 years super specialist course for Homeopathy practitioners to become Homeopathic- Endocrinologist, Rheumatologist or Oncologist etc. This is what happens when unpad log (freeloaders who are not formally educated) are kept in positions of power. Nation goes to hell.

In India, politics should be about jobs, wages, taxes, infrastructure, freedoms, housing, and climate. Instead, it often feels like theater - less about governance, more about who can play messiah.

Popular weight-loss drug "Mounjaro" entered the Indian market in March last year. It is already a market leader and the fake versions have also arrived. Fake Mounjaro injections worth ₹56 lakh were seized by authorities in Gurugram, Haryana.

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune

@witchdrkochi Who said I had a point? Thats your presumption.

@liverserjun Yeah, what's your point? The pay is great.

So does pursuing superspecialty in India 🤕

Medicine trained doctors to put patients first. Hospital administrators have been exploiting that instinct ever since.

@witchdrkochi And tier 5 can give HOD status too

@liverserjun Tier 2 nursing home setups do offer "consultant" posts.

Today is World Liver Day 2026. Here are 8 things your liver actually wants you to know. 1 There is no such thing as a "liver detox." Your liver runs phase I and II detoxification 24/7 on its own. No juice cleanse, no milk thistle, no herbal detox speeds this up. In fact several have caused liver injury - the opposite of the claim. 2 Alcohol has no safe dose. Liver harm begins from the first drink. The old "moderate drinking is protective" myth came from flawed studies contaminated by abstainer bias - now debunked by Mendelian randomization. Zero ml is best. 3 "Natural" supplements are now a leading cause of acute liver failure. Ashwagandha. Green tea extract. Garcinia. Kratom. High-dose turmeric. Giloy/Tinospora. They dominate drug-induced liver injury registries across India, the US, and Europe. Natural ≠ safe. 4 Coffee is genuinely liver-protective. 2–3 cups/day (caffeinated or decaf) lowers the risk of fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. One of the very few dietary interventions with real, replicated evidence. 5 Fatty liver (MASLD) now affects ~1 in 3 adults worldwide. A 7–10% body-weight loss: • clears Liver fat • reduces inflammation • can regress early fibrosis No approved drug currently beats this. Your plate and feet are the first-line therapy. 6 Sugar-sweetened drinks independently cause fatty liver. Fructose is metabolized almost entirely by the liver - straight into fat. One daily soda raises MASLD risk even after adjusting for total calories. Lesser is better. 7 Get vaccinated against hepatitis B. Get screened for HBV and HCV at least once in your lifetime. HBV vaccine prevents >95% of chronic infection, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Hepatitis C is curable in 8-12 weeks with >95% success - but most carriers don't know they have it. 8 Exercise protects the liver independent of weight loss. 150 min/week moderate OR 75 min vigorous activity reduces liver fat and stiffness - even when the scale doesn't move. Movement is "medicine". 🫂 PS: we also need a liver emoji
