Just heard about this. An impact of the work that me & our group have done on Ayush related adverse events in peer reviewed publications.

Our work and it's impact among people and regulatory bodies has created enough meaningful damage that questions the existence and irrational role of Ayurveda and Homeopathy.

The new public health bill in Kerala, will not provide privileges to the Ayush community.

Ayurveda & Homeopathy practitioners have taken to the streets holding placards that literally cry out to science-based practitioners to "stop criticizing Ayush practices," and to give them freedom to practice(!)

We don't abuse. We don't troll. We don't dox. We don't physically or mentally abuse like Ayush does. We publish papers from a scientific perspective that prove our points that are pro-public and are educational. And we will keep doing it.

Expect us.

All these years Ayush was carefree and without accountability, harming public health directly or indirectly. But now, our science based peer reviewed papers and empirical evidence has shook their foundations, literally dragging them to a point of existential crisis.

Daily scene in the clinic-
Doctor, I am also having #ayurvedic medicines for #diabetes. Should I continue?
Me- Please stop them. Stick to one stream of medicine
Patient- Why doctor? As you know they are natural, completely safe.
Me- I cannot vouch for their efficacy and safety.
Patient - They are harmless. Why can't I continue them?
Me- It's your call. Not my recommendation
Patient- But I will only continue if you approve. They are totally "natural". Why don't you approve?
Me- I don't know enough about them. If you are keen, stop my medication. Move to #Ayurveda .
Patient - No no doctor. I will do as you say. But why can't I continue ayurveda meds along with "allopathy"

Ultimately I give up. The patient continues both. Who knows the impact on outcomes? Complications?

I wonder how others tackle this.

Double blind randomized controlled trials are urgently needed on some of these popular branded ayurveda medicines to help us decide what to do and advise our patients better.

Patients are going to take them anyway. What should we be doing?

🤔Why does iron administration relieve symptoms of restless leg syndrome (RLS) in some patients?

Turns out BRAIN iron deficiency matters more.

Let's have a look.

Medical gaslighting. When doctors assign patients’ illness or symptoms to psychological factors, deny their illness entirely, ridicule them or tell them that they are not sick.
