Dear @nsitharaman @irdaindia @FinMinIndia, pls direct insurance cos. to treat cost incurred in ICU/Oxygen@ home like hospital claim, as beds are unavailable & insured are forced to buy equip & manage@home (leading to denial of insurnce benefits) #IndiaFightsCorona @IndianExpress

So, @BeerBicepsGuy didn’t disclose this while endorsing the fancy toy made for the uber-rich. @theliverdoc dug up this information and quoted an @Inc42 report. And, as you can see in the graphic below, Raj Shamani is also listed among Temple’s angel investors.

So, is this why Mr Goyal appeared wearing Temple during his podcast with Shamani? Isn’t there a potential conflict of interest here that people should have been made aware of?

Ethical standards seem to have gone for a toss. The influencer economy is increasingly about making obscene amounts of money, selling YouTube courses (that’s fine) and then using that money to make even more through questionable practices.

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

Well, Professor Sanjeev Bagai is a BC Roy award winning Indian pediatrician, neonatologist, and pediatric nephrologist based in New Delhi, India.

He is NOT an influencer or an influencer doctor that Deepinder Goyal claim others to be, who are trying to sabotage his humanity saving device.

Prof. Bagai specifies that Temple Device sold for 85000/- rupees is actually not even worth calling a wellness or fitness device. All doctors cannot be on Twitter or on media doing this. But the few ones who are, including myself, speak for the ones who care about the public, and are rational, when we say, TEMPLE is India's original scam, like Elizabeth Holmes did it for Theranos and the USA. No doubts about it.

It's basic foundational science is deadass. Like shipping a mummy from Egypt, calling it your Mama and waiting for it to respond.

E20 बना 420 - जनता की गाड़ी से पेट्रोल चोरी!

मोदी सरकार कहती है - पेट्रोल में 20% एथेनॉल है। कर्नाटक सरकार ने 7 ज़िलों से पेट्रोल के सैंपल लेकर मान्यता प्राप्त लैब में जाँच करवाई।

नतीजा देखिए
- 14 में से 11 सैंपल में 20% से ज़्यादा एथेनॉल
- IOCL में 31.2%, HPCL में 30.5%
- IOCL, HPCL, BPCL, Nayara, Shell - सरकारी हों या प्राइवेट - सब सीमा से ऊपर
- और कंपनियों की अपनी लैब ने एथेनॉल की मात्रा रिपोर्ट में लिखी ही नहीं

मतलब आप पैसा महंगे पेट्रोल का दे रहे हैं, टंकी में एथेनॉल भरा जा रहा है। नुकसान किसका? आपका।

आपकी गाड़ी इतना एथेनॉल पचाने के लिए बनी ही नहीं - मतलब, घटता माइलेज, बार-बार मैकेनिक। शौक से ली गई गाड़ी की बर्बादी।

और पंप पर लिखा तक नहीं कि टंकी में क्या डाला जा रहा है - चुनने का कोई विकल्प नहीं।

मोदी जी, बताइए - देश की टंकी में क्या भरा जा रहा है? पेट्रोल में असल में कितना एथेनॉल है? 20% से ज़्यादा मिलावट करने वाली कंपनियों पर कार्रवाई कब होगी?

और डिबेट की चुनौती अब भी खड़ी है। ये मुद्दा भी जोड़ लेंगे - आपकी नीतियों से असल में फ़ायदा किसे हो रहा है?

Goodmorning to you good people (not you Deepinder). Now that India has entered the commercial era of "scienceploitation", I would like to educate and inform the people on this topic, using one of Temple device's claims as an example.

This is long, but stay with me, you will really benefit.

But first, what is Scienceploitation?
It is a marketing and communication tactic where brands, influencers, or media outlets borrow or manipulate language from legitimate, emerging areas of science (such as stem cell research, the microbiome, or epigenetics) to promote unproven health, wellness, or beauty products and services.
The term was coined by @CaulfieldTim (I am honored to have known him and written an editorial with him in the BMJ), a professor of health law and policy at the University of Alberta.

Temple Device is your first boss battle against scienceploitation. Let me explain this using their own biggest claim - ENTROPY. Temple claims it measures Entropy.

What is entropy? In lay terms, entropy is a measure of how spread out, mixed up, or disorganized things naturally become over time. In human health, entropy can be a measure of disorder, wear and tear, and loss of organization in your body's cells, tissues, and organ systems.

Low Entropy = High Health (Order): A young, healthy body is in a state of low entropy. Your cells are communicating well, your DNA is intact, your proteins are folded properly, and your heartbeats have a smooth, adaptable rhythm.

High Entropy = Disease or Aging (Disorder): As entropy increases, biological "mess" builds up. Damaged DNA accumulates, proteins misfold, cells stop working right, and communication breaks down.

Aging is essentially a slow, natural rise in entropy. While conditions like cancer (uncontrolled, chaotic cell growth), neurodegeneration (like Alzheimer’s protein tangles), and metabolic dysfunction (like uncontrolled blood sugar) represent spikes of high entropy in specific parts of the body. Note that - aging is a normal anatomical and physiological process, it is not a disease.

Now you know how complex this term is?
Well, this is what Deepinder Goyal's Temple device claims to measure.

A device can produce a number without proving that the number means what its advertising says. That is the central problem with Temple’s “Entropy.”

“Entropy” has different scientific meanings. In physics, it concerns energy transformations. In heartbeat or brainwave analysis, it describes how irregular or unpredictable a signal is. Measuring one does not mean you have measured the other, or someone’s overall health.

Yes, wearable recordings can be used to calculate signal entropy. A Polar H10 chest strap, for example, records heartbeat intervals that suitable software can analyse. GE’s clinical Entropy monitor analyses electrical signals from the forehead to help assess anaesthesia. Neither tells you how much “disorder” your body contains or how long you will live.

Temple’s published research describes an optical sensor that shines light into skin and detects changes associated with blood flow. That can provide useful physiological information of flow and perfusion only there or at the heart level, but not the brain or other systems. And detecting blood-related signals does not automatically measure whole-body heat loss, metabolism or thermodynamic entropy. Those claims are wild. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Researchers have estimated human thermodynamic entropy production. The experiment cited by Temple used a whole-body calorimeter, measurements of breathing gases and mathematical modelling. It did not demonstrate that a small optical sensor at the temple could do the same job. Misrepresenting and misinterpreting genuine research and extrapolating that to a new device does not establish that Temple performs the measurement described in that research - this is classical Scienceploitation. It Is "sciencey" word salads. Non-medical people will fall for this sort of gimmicks.

Temple also claims that lower resting “Entropy” means better health. That is not an established universal rule. Even the theoretical paper it cites discusses the importance of maintaining adequate entropy production and increasing it when needed—not simply driving the resting value ever lower. A lower number needs a proven health meaning before it becomes a health goal. Deepinder's Science Team has to prove this first, before they let their "machine" measure it - if it really can.

A reading that changes with exercise, meals, stress or temperature may be responding to real physiology. But that does not prove it measures immune health, digestion, reproductive function or recovery. Responding to many things is not the same as understanding or measuring all those things.

Temple lists (their own) preliminary studies of heart rate and brain-circulation-related signals. Those studies do not establish the advertised health meanings of “Resting Entropy,” “Entropy Max” or “Span.” These cannot be measured using currently available wearable tech, including Temple. Combining readings into a new score does not remove the need to validate that score, or if the score is really meaningful to start with. Pretty much like Homeopathy. So much stuff, no content or context.

Highly advanced wearable science is not impossible. The problem is presenting an unvalidated interpretation as an established fact about your body. Calling a product “wellness” does not make its scientific claims true. Temple device is the commercial, expensive example of consumer scienceploitation. The website needs to be updated with medical and health truths rather than magical thinking and delusions of so-called founder and his science team.

Deepinder's Temple device is very much like Baba Ramdev's Coronil. Only one difference. Former is scienceploitation, latter is pseudoscience and both are harmful in their own ways. Learn to identify a scam and fraud when you see one.

When I heard yesterday that the Delhi High Court had stayed the summary dismissal of the Congress Manipur MP cum JNU Professor, I was pleasantly surprised. Any service law practitioner will tell you that it was a no-brainer but as we are living in extra-ordinary times even a no-brainer requires courage of conviction which is increasingly a rarity. So hat tip to one of my favourite judges of my court-Justice Anup Bhambhani!

Mr Modi, stop lying to this nation.

You became PM because of foreign help. You remain PM because of foreign help.

Your financial system is fully controlled and supported by foreigners. Foreign social media fully backs you.

I challenge you to an open debate about this. Any stage, any time. Come if you have the guts.

You won't dare, because you are terrified of what I know about you.

मोदी जी, इस देश से झूठ बोलना बंद कीजिए।

आप विदेशी मदद से प्रधानमंत्री बने। और विदेशी मदद से ही प्रधानमंत्री बने हुए हैं।

आपकी आर्थिक व्यवस्था पूरी तरह विदेशियों के नियंत्रण में और समर्थन से है। विदेशी सोशल मीडिया पूरी तरह आपके साथ खड़ा है।

मैं आपको इस मुद्दे पर खुली बहस की चुनौती देता हूं। कोई भी मंच, किसी भी समय। हिम्मत है तो आइए।

आप नहीं आएंगे, क्योंकि जो मैं आपके बारे में जानता हूं आप उससे डरते हैं।

This is in very bad faith Yuvraj.

You are a good cricketer, you are a strong human, a cancer survivor. But you are an absolute health and science illiterate.

People like you and your business of bad science deeply damages science literacy and public health in our society. It is a pathetic.

You can be powerful allies for cancer patients and oncology societies and use your voice to educate people on evidence-based preventative care and direct cancer patients towards science-based care for improved survival outcomes.

But instead, you chose to team up with unethical businessmen - some with long degrees, lengthy certifications and in high positions without any functioning brain cell - and among them, one of the worst "health" influencers on the internet right now, the so-called cancer surgeon Arpit Bansal who is a pseudoscience sympathizer, an Ayurveda apologist and quite similar to Luke Coutinho, but with actual medical degrees wasted.

Know this first: Cancer patients who use alternative medicine die sooner, study finds - https://t.co/pvkpRmuyhC

Now coming to your product - P32
Among the 32 listed ingredients with 35+ distinct compounds in them, 13 carry documented risks of organ toxicity, mineral toxicity, capable of causing/promoting atherosclerosis inducing toxin generation, and with high rates of toxic environmental contamination.

Four ingredients - Ashwagandha, Bacopa, Curcumin and Boswellia are among the most frequently implicated botanicals in liver injury in LiverTox registries. When they come together, it is going to be disastrous.
https://t.co/Gya0Ycqdpc - The person who designed this complex formulation is really a clown.

Nearly all 30 active ingredients in this 32-ingredient supplement lack solid scientific proof for the health benefits promised on the label. First, the company's own chart admits that eight ingredients have no gold-standard human trials behind them - two are just inactive fillers, and six rely on weaker data or are added only for safety, yet are still marketed as multi-organ boosters.

At least 11 ingredients are "fairy-dusted," meaning the sachet contains only a tiny fraction of the daily dose actually proven to work in human studies.

High-level clinical and translational evidence demonstrates that several components in this sachet can actually increase cancer risk or accelerate tumor progression in healthy adults: Vitamin E (prostate cancer), combined folic acid+B12 (lung and colon cancer) and NAC, Vit E, Vit C, Astaxanthin (increase risk of cancer spread). See this paper:
Supplement Use and Increased Risks of Cancer: Unveiling the Other Side of the Coin - https://t.co/xqiDq6jL5c

Finally, the product stretches basic science by assuming that because a nutrient deficiency harms certain organs, taking extra amounts will supercharge those same organs in healthy adults who already get enough nutrients.

Your product is absolute BS just like the whole of herbal and dietary supplement industry is. Have some shame selling this nonsense to public and people with cancer.

I hope nobody accepts your stupid invite.
