@theliverdoc Dear , you are more use to humanity active and unharrased in this platform.
Chose the fights that you can win.
I know "politics is medicine on large scale" but to get there you have to grow collective consciousness of masses.Without this platform you will lose that power..
@MitchellGlenn Hello Glenn, Indians are sore losers when it comes to cricket ,especially when playing in India.
Australia were worthy of the cup , I just hope Aus- India rivarly goes a notch up on field and we become even closer off it.
"If anyone shows the concepts of homeopathy to be correct, he or she becomes a serious contender for one or two Nobel prizes. Homeopaths often say that we simply have not yet discovered how homeopathy works. The truth is that we know there is no conceivable scientific explanation that could possibly explain it."

How to effectively 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐓 frontline healthcare professionals - alive and dead, the scientific community, vaccinologists and immunologists in India in one go?
Learn from the masters themselves, the Indian Council for Medical Research, the supposed "apex scientific body" in India.
A 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲, which the ICMR has published in 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐎𝐖𝐍 low-class journal, the IJMR, based on weak assumptions, extremely poorly designed methods, replete with confounders & confirmation biases is out now.
https://t.co/LcytogUWf2
In the study, featuring 19 authors- of which only 𝐓𝐖𝐎 are 'scientists' from India, both in the field of biotechnology, along with 17 other 'scientists' none from India, and no clinicians or epidemiologists, a staggering discovery was made.
The death rate due to Covid which was reportedly 5-8 fold lower in India compared to "West" was due to "health promoting" food items rich in turmeric and other spices such as steamed savory rice cake (a.k.a the idli), red kidney beans (a.k.a rajma) and Indian tea (a.k.a chai).
The reason for more death rate from Covid in the West? Red meat, dairy products and processed foods - based on cherry picked "key' food components across four countries.
It seems, the Indian diet suppressed cytokine storm and various inflammatory pathways in those affected by Covid-19 preventing death and organ injury but with foreign countries, death rate was high because their diets were designed to kill.
The scientists then go on a wild imaginary ride trying to fit their biased narrative based on weak assumptions from lab studies on cells and rats. The best part? They used datasets of severe Covid patients with high fatality and data sets from Indian patients without deaths without vaccination status!
Lower Covid-19 death in India 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 due to the Great Indian Kitchen featuring, very conveniently, "vegetarian" dishes, but due to UNDERREPORTING.
See here ⬇️
COVID-19 may have killed nearly 3 million in India, far more than official counts show. New analysis bolsters idea that country’s seemingly low death rate was misleading.

Why India's real Covid toll may never be known. More than 4.7 million people in India - nearly 10 times higher than official records suggest - are thought to have died because of Covid-19, according to a new World Health Organization (WHO) report.
https://t.co/yZdSxjkgk6
And the countless other lives that were saved? Due to effective protocols in place including masks, a massive vaccination drive and effective public health communication.

As far as the study goes, I think this special group of scientists have rented out their brains and so-called health reporters in India have lost the ability of critical thinking.
I went to an Assamese medium school and am trying my best to learn Hindi and English in my own humble way. I must admit that I do not know English and Hindi very well, and I have no hesitation in admitting it.

800 metres away from PM's residence there was a VVIP wedding on 11th March. The Guestlist was full of VVIPs starting with PM Modi,Rajnath Sing, Amit Shah, JP Nadda, FM Sitharaman & CMs from BJP-ruled states.
It was the wedding of Navika Kumar's son.

The Hindu newspaper just published its worst "anti-science" and "scientific medicine-denialist" piece that parrots and features the current pseudoscientific embracing Govt.'s propaganda on "integrated medicine" using previously credible but now falling from grace, central institutes like AIIMS.
This is really worrying as India is now definitely headed towards the Chinese health model of clownery that integrated medicine is, but without any of the other developments of healthcare in China.
Basically, India's healthcare is prone to look like a Tata Nano car with the logo of Mercedes Benz plastered on it and the scientifically illiterate going gung-ho over their brand new integrated & advanced Tata Nano car.
The piece features poorly constructed sentences that provide false hope to the layman such as:
"Yoga...can benefit patients when modern medicines fail."
- does that mean its good for stage 4 cancer colon or acute myeloid leukemia with multiple organ failure or diabetic kidney disease on dialysis?
The article makes tall claims and then go on to describe ADD ON value of Yoga in a rare condition like vasovagal syncope and then migraine.
ADD-ON - meaning its worthless without actual scientific medicine and other modalities like Yoga could be as good as Yoga.
The paper talks about 21 major research papers but describes only 2 above without any clarity on others. A cursory review shows that most published papers are narrative reviews and not actual trials - from 2019 onwards.
One paper on generalized anxiety mentions scientific cognitive behavioral therapy was superior to Yoga as first line treatment! https://t.co/eJBcog9wZ9
The rest of the "big piece" in The Hindu under "science section" thereafter has nothing much to offer other than glorification of Yoga with nationalistic, cultural and traditional appeal and interviews with pseudoscience sympathizing Govt officers who cant even spell science forwards.
The article ends by demonizing "modern medicine" as COSTLY WITH SIDE EFFECTS and promoting "cost-effective" integrated medicine - this is a blatant LIE. There is NO strong evidence that integration reduces costs in Indian scenario.
Costs increase with integrated medicine as unscientific and absolutely unwarranted pseudoscience integration into standard of care actually increases financial burden for nothing.
The Hindu science section must grow an independent & scientifically astute consciousness while reporting on medicine, that will prevent it from becoming a propaganda mouthpiece of pseudoscience sympathizing science-denying apologists.
"Integrated medicine is an idea whose time has perhaps come."
No.
"Scientific temper is an essentiality whose integration among people is long past due."
During the #COVID19 pandemic, Ministry of Ayush, India released Ayurveda/Unani/Siddha/Homeopathy National Integrative Medicine Guidelines for prevention and treatment of Covid-19.
These guidelines were NOT based on any scientific evidence and was unleashed on the public who were living in fear in a desperate time.
The alternative medicine industry became OPPORTUNISTS and started at fishing in murky waters to sell their herbal and dietary supplements, tactfully and intentionally advertising them as "useful" in the absence of evidence.
What came off it?
The public suffered, and families lost members.
Our new paper looks into the public health-liver related outcomes of unscientific decisions and promotion of pseudoscientific practices that thrive on people's gullibility, nationalism, cultural and traditional emotions.
More coming, a detailed discussion will follow as soon as the publication is online.
Tips to win Padma Awards in new India
Build nation's biggest Giloy juice factory
Find a use for pepper other than pepper chicken, possibly against cancer and wasting resources in cancer trials
Spend tax payers money on doing research in Homeopathy and end up prescribing pure alcohol for an emerging pandemic and micro dosing infants and children with alcohol from an early age
Use turmeric in everything other than curries and publish the "research" in news papers instead of actual peer reviewed journals
Make an IOS and Android app that will identify ALL your health problems the Ayurvedic way, by tracking nothing but your pulse
Promote Yoga for polycystic ovarian disease, blood cancers, diabetes cure, low thyroid function and infertility but provide absolutely no evidence for the same
Plant and cultivate a 1000 types of herbs in your garden and call it a traditional herbal garden of wisdom that sustains ancient science of life and peddle in low level quackery by giving out herbs as treatment for self limiting diseases
Build more Ayurveda and Homeopathy colleges and ruin more young lives in the future, but keep the nationalistic flag flying high
Integrate Ayurveda and Homeopathy into modern medical practice because there is no other way you can make pseudoscientific practices remotely credible
Bad mouth real doctors and scientists and go the Ayurveda way, calling scientific method as chemical bombing of public health and winning hearts of the scientifically illiterate nationalist population
Keep saying Ayurveda treats the patient as a whole and the root cause when in fact it does neither because Ayurveds are incompetent in diagnosing and treating actual diseases
Cure an African ex-bureaucrat's daughter's , friend's, first cousin's cats cataract via surgery and then give Ayurvedic herbals and publish the story as Ayurveda cured blindness in a cat which "Allopathy" couldn't
Train a whole new generation to look down upon medical science and develop an abusive relationship with clinicians and scientists on social media, because the latter are all slaves of the chemical Big Pharma industry
Study modern medicine first, then specialize in Cardiology, become senile, retire and then look back at life with regret and then go the Ayurveda way saying whole life was utter waste because Ayurvedic way of life came in late and start peddling pseudoscientific nonsense in a rat race to remain prominent in the mind and heart of scientifically illiterate community. Finally, sell herbal supplements to the same illiterate community, become rich, get an award, lie to self & die without regrets.
@bsdhanoa The gravity of "Prachand" suits more to strategic weapons... Light(CH) doesn't go well "Prachand" .... Jatayu could've been another possibility.
