Padma Shri awardee Yanung Jamoh Lego holds an https://t.co/5ufZVsVgOs. in Agriculture from Assam Agricultural University-not a recognized medical qualification.

Awarding a national honour to someone making unverified claims of curing cancer (Blood cancer ,Breast Cancer etc),Diabetes raises serious public health concerns.

Cancer remains a disease for which research into better treatments continues worldwide, and unsupported cure claims can mislead vulnerable patients into delaying or abandoning evidence-based care.

If an individual is practicing medicine or promoting treatments without the required legal qualifications or regulatory approval, the matter warrants a thorough investigation by the competent authorities.

Patients should never be exposed to unproven therapies or misleading claims in the name of Ayurveda or any other system of medicine.

Public health must be guided by scientific evidence, transparency, and strict enforcement of medical regulations.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
This can't be ACCEPTABLE

If we are going to legalize unqualified medical practice, then why not legalize fake police officers, fake IAS officers, and fake judges as well?

Let everyone perform any profession without the required qualifications.

Why is public health the only sector where such compromises are tolerated?
Is human life really so cheap that anyone can make extraordinary claims about treating life-threatening diseases without scientific evidence or proper medical qualifications?

Homeopathy is just placebo and survives only because of government support and funding. Let’s wait and watch how long the government will fool the people of India supporting so called alternative medicines. Science alone is the truth!

[Anu Lall @anulall]

India witnessed a war of words between #Allopathy and #Homeopathy
After a podcast on Homoeopathy went viral, the system of medicine was ridiculed, bullied and abused.

The situation became so ugly that reportedly authorities had to intervene.

India legally recognizes many systems of medicine.
One may call out corruption, malpractice, illegal Ads etc in any system.
But to bully an entire system, in uncalled for.

@Sougata_b_true @theliverdoc Pretty certain it’s some fake doctors who give drugs like this.

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

The government of India is blocking my posts on Instagram that criticizes Homeopathy based on a directive from the Homeopathy Council. This is very shameful of the government...protecting pseudoscience and it's practitioners from scientific scrutiny.

One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen: a standing ovation for the full Daraxonrasib results

I feel inspired and energised, to put it mildly — we have a targeted therapy for pancreatic cancer now, and nothing is undruggable anymore

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available

And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot.

It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles.

But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.

I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.

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.

[Dr. Atul J G @DrAtulJG]

3 mistakes people make after a cancer diagnosis:
1.Delaying treatment while exploring multiple opinions for too long
2.Following unproven “alternative cures” instead of evidence-based therapy
3.Ignoring nutrition, fitness, and mental health

Cancer treatment is a time-sensitive, multidisciplinary process.

The goal is not just treatment —
It is timely, evidence-based care.

@CPIMKerala Mayo clinic il നിന്ന് നമുക്ക് patients നേ കേരളത്തിലെ സർക്കാർ ആശുപത്രിയിലേക്ക് കൊണ്ട് വരാം.

[Dr. Atul J G @DrAtulJG]

Most cancers don’t fail treatment.
They present too late.

By the time many patients come:

• Disease is already advanced
• Curative options are limited
• Treatment becomes more complex

The problem is not always medicine.
It’s delay in diagnosis.

Awareness is not optional.
It is life-saving.

One of the most important questions in oncology is not:

“What drug should we give?”

It is:

“Does this patient actually need treatment right now?”

Some cancers require immediate therapy.
Others need active surveillance.

Overtreatment can harm as much as undertreatment.

Good oncology is about choosing wisely, not just treating aggressively.

“Not all cancers can be screened — but some can.”

Regular screening can detect certain cancers before symptoms appear.

Examples:

• Breast cancer → Mammography
• Cervical cancer → HPV test / Pap smear
• Colorectal cancer → Colonoscopy or stool tests
• Lung cancer (high-risk individuals) → Low-dose CT

Screening helps detect cancer early — when treatment is most effective.

Talk to your doctor about age-appropriate screening.

“Can young people get cancer?”

Yes.

Cancer is more common with increasing age, but it can occur in younger people too.

Some reasons include:

• Genetic predisposition
• Lifestyle factors
• Viral infections (like HPV)
• Environmental exposures

Persistent symptoms should never be ignored because of age.

Cancer detected early is much easier to treat.

“Do all cancers need chemotherapy?”

No.

Cancer treatment is not the same for every patient.

Depending on the cancer type and stage, treatment may include:

• Surgery
• Radiation therapy
• Chemotherapy
• Targeted therapy
• Immunotherapy
• Hormone therapy

Many early cancers are treated with surgery alone.

Modern oncology is about personalized treatment, not one-size-fits-all.
