A few years ago I created a two-page summary of my expectations of associates and of my commitments to them

I shared it in a comment to good reviews, so I thought I'd share it here too

I may write a bit more about each element. I hope you find it useful.

Yesterday, I had a visit from a young man who follows me on social media.

He travelled a long way to meet me.

He identified himself with alcohol use disorder.

He lost his job recently because his working skills and travel to the office was severely hampered.

He took on some work from home on freelance projects but could not deliver on time because he was mostly drunk or sleeping or going out to get more alcohol.

Initially he drank with friends, but they stopped coming because he used to get aggressive and violent when alcohol serves were limited. He did not need them anymore and started drinking alone, even right after getting up from bed.

He has a wife and a young daughter who stayed separately with his sister-in-law since past few months because his aggression turned towards the little girl.

He told me he could not remember a lot of things. Sometimes he forgets to take a bath and when people around him tells him he stank, he would remember.

He stopped going outside and meeting people. He started developing suicidal thoughts and attempted once.

He lost his self when his daughter called him on the phone last week, to wish him on his birthday. He took the train to meet me.

I have enrolled him in our de-addiction program and the specialists will strive hard to ensure that this young family will get back together. He has no cirrhosis, so he does not require follow up or treatment from my side.

But on this occasion, I would like to summarize some points on what alcohol does to your brains. Please read and share widely.

I think this scamster who runs India's largest public health endangering proprietary and traditional Ayurvedic products company must FIRST REVEAL that his company's toothpaste contained cuttlefish bones which he marketed as vegetarian product, his honey contained Chinese made sugar syrup, his Ayurvedic herbal products were full of liver toxic herbs and heavy metal contaminants, his Arishtam formulations contain alcohol and all the advertisement marketing of his herbal products were based on rat, zebrafish and cell studies and none on humans, all of which fooled the public, raking in money for this saffron charlatan and his white-clad minion. Why is the Indian media still interviewing this public fraud and thug whom the Supreme Court took action on? Their opinions do not matter. Shameless.

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

I have been fighting medical/health misinformation for the longest time and it just does not seem to end. I have come to understand that the only way to fight medical misinformation is to consistently speak about it and make examples of people who mislead and misinform.

Many people messaged me directly asking me to be "kind" towards Ms. Samantha after I called her out for her public endangering misinformation on nebulization of hydrogen peroxide for respiratory viral infections. She doubled down by citing these two "doctors" who she thought were "credible" sources and shared their opinions/views without a fact-check, with her millions of followers. Some people even lashed at me, asking me to debate her "doctors" rather than pull down Samantha herself.
More on that here: https://t.co/oNvmlJXLgJ

I am a clinical doctor. Compassionate, ethical, empathetic care is ingrained in me from the moment I stepped into medical school. These virtues only grow with clinical practice and people who know me, know how I am to people, patients and their family. I do not have to showcase "kindness" or "answer to" strangers on the internet while communicating facts. Being vocal and brutally straightforward with facts is the only way medical misinformation can be handled in certain situations, especially when the person who peddles the misinformation has been brainwashed into believing in irrationality.

I have been practicing medicine independently for almost a decade and I deal with the sickest group, the most chronic group, the most brutally afflicted group of patients in clinical medicine - liver failure patients. And I know how "doctors" like the ones showcased below, the source of Ms. Samantha's medical information will queue up to devour a chronic disease patient/family's vulnerability, ignorance, confusion and mental health state. They are not doctors. They are business men. They are the worst that can happen to medical practice. I do not have to debate such people.

[A]
Dr. Mitra Basu Chillar may have been a doctor and has the required registrations/certifications to show he is one, but at present, he is not. His clinic runs dubious, dangerous and non-recommended practices under the garb of wellness that are a waste of money, time and person.
For example their ozone therapy: In 2019, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned against using ozone therapy. This is because there is not enough evidence to conclude that it is effective or safe for medical use. https://t.co/tnvwPWtOwr

Their IV cocktail therapy for improving tolerance to alcohol use and post use hangover, exhaustion and skin supplementation are all fraudulent practices that can have serious adverse events with multiple clinical societies advising people to stay away from such businesses. Any "doctor" who provides "treatment for pre-alcohol and post alcohol use" is NOT A DOCTOR in my strong opinion. Dr. Chillar's clinic has actually named this therapy "Happy Hours" (https://t.co/jq8eIoS2Nt). This is a disgrace to medical profession and professionals. He should just quit.

And IV vitamin therapies that they sell at Dr. Chillar's clinic are a complete scam: https://t.co/e4MDtYTJXq and https://t.co/QdPMsHfVtr

Their low dose ketamine therapy in clinic setting is not recommended and typically clinics like Dr.Chillar's are for-profit enterprises. This therapy must be provided under proper expert care and for severe resistant depression. Dr. Chillar's clinic does not seem to have such experts on board and this potentially endangers people: https://t.co/mC69pB01V7

Similarly, Dr. Chillar's ultraviolent blood radiation therapy is also an utter nonsense, medically wasteful and expensive procedure which The American Cancer Society calls "one of many types of ineffective treatment fraudulently sold by alternative cancer treatment clinics" (like Dr. Chillar's).

None of their treatments are effective or beneficial or border any close to being "preventative medicine" and is a huge scam, loss of money and in extreme cases, loss of life. I do not have the space here to debunk all of it, but you may check with credible sources on these promoted at their website: https://t.co/MoCGEIza2y and someone must shut this shit show of a clinic down for public health endagerment.

[B]
Now Dr. Jockers. The other "doctor" Samantha cited. The less said about this fraud, the better. Jockers is not a doctor. He is a naturopath. Naturopaths are a menance to society, a danger to patients, and a public health malignancy. And rightly so, Samantha's Dr. Jockers has been warned multiple times by the US FDA, the US FTA and many other health regulatory bodies for selling and promoting public health endangering products and services. Basically, he is plain simple fraud.

I understand and empathize with Samantha's health condition and I wish her the very best. I apologize if she felt uneasy or bad the way the message was conveyed. That was unintentional. My aim was her to leave behind medical misinformation peddling "doctors" who are using her vulnerability, and catering to her anecdotal experiences, for their gain. I sincerely suggest that patients with chronic illnesses, please continue with evidence-based medical practices to remain inside a safety net and sanctuary.

Science-based medicine is for everyone's benefit. You can come up with any conspiracy theories on medical science and the industry, but the truth is - it is what got us here. From vaccines to antibiotics to life saving interventions - both surgical and minimally invasive, scientific discoveries that change for the better; and the practitioners who use them to cater to you, are always your strongest allies in health and disease. Unlike these two below.

Take care, stay safe, and stand up for science.
