@vfsglobalcare It’s not reasonable or fair for an Indian Citizen on a visa to be left hanging without a passport for so long.

[MOHamed anwar @anwarstanley]

@vfsglobalcare Having an extremely difficult time trying to get my Indian passport re-issued. I don’t know if I have take this up with Indian High Commission but a total nightmare going through so much red tape. Need transparency now.

[MOHamed anwar @anwarstanley]

@vfsglobalcare Please give me a timeline as there is a lot riding on my passport coming. What’s the use of tatkal service? Isn’t the whole point for people to use it in dire need and to expedite services? The reason for my passport re-issuance is that the validity expires.

[MOHamed anwar @anwarstanley]

@ManuuDobriyal Absolutely. We have travel planned end of Oct. Tried to get them on the phone today and they said they will send an email, nothing in my inbox. No tracking number yet

@vfsglobalcare Thank you. I have been waiting for 2 days my passport to be sent back from VFS NY location. Very hard to get in touch with anyone. Been waiting for 20 mins on the phone line but no one is picking up!

Kudos to excellent service from
Flight attendants on Flight 6E 7072 BLR to TRZ on 10/9/25. Special thanks to Roma of Cabin crew. Despite being a small aircraft, service was on par with that of any long haul flight.

This is Dr. Dimple Jangda.
She makes us believe that she is an Ayurvedic practitioner.

But the fact is that she is not a doctor.
She is not even an Ayurvedic practitioner.
She has no formal training in real medicine or pseudomedicine of Ayurveda.

She was a television producer. Then an investment banker. Then a podcast host. And thereafter, a talk show host.

She has a masters degree in business administration. She has a virtual online degree from National American University in (?)management which she claims is "honorary." She has a diploma in Yoga from Yoga Mumbai Institute. She has a virtual and unidentifiable degree in (?) business management from Thames International University, Paris.

She has no formal training in any aspect of healthcare. She is a quack of quacks. A top of the line fearmongering "wellness fraud" - a bottom feeder in the ecosystem of healthcare business.

She is a female version of Sadhguru. Lots of confidently sounding English words that takes shape of a word salad containing some of the biggest health-related misinformation and disinformation in Indian social media today.

See this video for instance.
She tells gullible people (who are already fearmongered about modern medicine and have distrust in doctors and medical science) not to opt for gall bladder removal surgery even if it gets complicated with stones disease or inflammation (called acute cholecystitis).

A dangerous misinformation that can lead to loss of life.

The physiology of gall bladder function and the change in function after gall bladder surgery that she provides is top-class garbage.

Complicated gall stone disease require surgery for cure and to prevent further complications. If you remove the gall bladder, you do not develop more diseases like diabetes or obesity. The bile gets stored in the upper part of the small intestine in the absence of gall bladder and keeps helping in digestion.

There is no food or diet shortcut that can dissolve gall stones. The story that this lady speaks about - from her own father's experience of using Ayurveda to remove gall stones is complete fabrication. It is an unverifiable, anecdotal bluff. There is no way, gall stones can just disappear in a month.

There is only ONE method to diagnose and treat gall stones disease and it is the scientific method based consensus guidelines.

See this from the European Association for Study of Liver - Clinical Practice Guidelines on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gallstones.

It provides all information on
1. Prevention of gall stones
2. Diagnosis of gall bladder stones
3. Medical therapy of gall bladder stones
4. Surgical therapy of gall bladder stones
5. Diagnosis of bile duct stones
6. Endoscopic and surgical therapy of bile duct stones
7. Diagnosis and therapy of stones inside liver
8. Therapy of gall stones during pregnancy

Peppermint tea, hibiscus tea, lemon water and such easy sounding kitchen-hacks are not the treatment for gall bladder disease or complicated gall stones.

Gall bladder stones that are uncomplicated or incidentally detected do not require treatment. Do not worry about them unnecessarily. Gall stones that get stuck in the neck of the gall bladder or come down into the bile duct, causing bile duct obstruction, bile block and infection requires antibiotic therapy and after an interval, removal of gall bladder. Otherwise it could happen again and the second hit of infection could kill the person. It can also lead to gall stone pancreatitis that can lead to multiple organ failure.

No amount of hibiscus tea and lemon water will save you when you are in septic shock due to cholangitis and a ruptured gall bladder, on the ventilator inside an ICU.

High cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity and fatty liver are not caused by removal of gall bladder, but are risk factors for development of the stones themselves - that is, metabolic diseases are associated with higher risk of developing gall stone disease and not the other way around.

The lady had gotten it all topsy-turvy - why?
Because she has no formal education in medicine and would probably have no clue on which side of the body the liver is.

Increasing fruit and vegetable consumption in women aged 48-60 years prevented (a correlation) risk of complicated gall stone disease, and subsequent surgery, but is not in anyway same as not doing surgery for complicated gall stone disease. Once complicated, surgery is the best bet to prevent further complications.

There is no evidence that drinking carrot and beetroot juice helps reduce complicated gall stone disease or dissolves gall stones. This is utter nonsense.

You may be wondering why my post is so long and I had to keep going on and on to debunk small points made by Dimple Jangda.

It is not so simple.

Its because of this: The Bullshit Asymmetry Principle, also known as Brandolini’s Law, states that the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.

PS: Please dont share any more of this quack's videos for me to debunk. I am getting too old for this.

[MOHamed anwar @anwarstanley]

@saugarmaripuri Does this benefit extend to ARBs? Or only specific to ACEi?

[MOHamed anwar @anwarstanley]

@Dr_Oubre Awesome!! Much needed!

@DxRxEdu Same applies to interpreting S auric acid too. Uric acid can be high with impaired GFR. Use caution

@GHProtection They ask us to talk to dispute resolution but they don’t have an extensions. You can only email them which they don’t reply. This is a SCAM. Stay away from this company

[MOHamed anwar @anwarstanley]

@GHProtection Do not go with this company. They have zero customer service. They do not send their contracted service technician. They always ask the customers to find one and submit claim for reimbursement. They don’t even reimburse 25% of the claim. They don’t offer explanation

[MOHamed anwar @anwarstanley]

@GHProtection when I call they ask me to write to dispute resolution but no one even cares to respond back to multiple emails for over 2 months. This is a corporate SCAM. Beware of this company folks. 2/2

[MOHamed anwar @anwarstanley]

@GHProtection has the worst customer service. I am disgusted with the way you treat your customers. I have submitted a reimbursement on a claim for $198. I did not receive any reply from GHprotection. Later received a check for $32 without any explanation for low pymnt. 1/2
