Got a summons from the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Thrissur District to appear as "accused person" in a criminal defamation case under IPC section 500. Criminal defamation because I educated the public on the dangers of unregulated herbal medicine related liver damage. Complaint filed by SNA Oushadhasala Ayurveda.

Basically Ayurveda practitioners and industry will do everything else other than proving their products work or provide anatomical and physiological evidence for Kapha, Pitta and Vata pseudoscience nonsense.

Stop threatening doctors, you fraud supplement companies.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 - for the first time since records began in 1982.

This is what happens when a country commits to HPV vaccination and screening. We protect our girls and save lives.

waarom mogen religieuze scholen kinderen eigenlijk gesubsidieerd discrimineren? en wat doet dat volgens experts dat met het welzijn van kinderen?

I am the first Asian, the first Indian to receive this prestigious award given to science communicators who fight misinformation and pseudoscience.

"Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, a doctor and expert on the harms caused by alternative medicine in India, has today been named the 2025 recipient of the Ockham Award for Skeptical Activism by The Skeptic magazine.

Dr Philips, a clinician-scientist in Hepatology at Rajagiri Hospital, Kochi, Kerala, has spent over a decade highlighting the dangers of homeopathy, herbal remedies, and superstition in India, sharing his expertise with more than 430,000 followers across X, Instagram and YouTube.

His work in countering health misinformation has been featured across the national and international media – resulting in campaigns of harassment and litigation by supporters of India’s powerful herbal and homeopathic industries."

To everyone who supported me, who stood by me, who raised my voice...my big thanks and appreciation. Science communication cannot progress without science loving rationalists like you all.

Thank you to the @TheSkepticMag and the @merseyskeptics, to the editor in chief @MrMMarsh and the @QEDcon awards and scientific committee of the Okhams for choosing me, giving me stage and helping me raise my voice on the unstoppable work I do against the unrelentless pseudoscientific drivel that people of my country are been subjected to... with regulatory support.

Only the medical community can fight back for the public and patients... and this prestigious award and recognition gives the few medical science communicators in India, like me, more fuel to burn ourselves for the better. This is an award for all rationalists and scientific communicators in India and I'm proud to make this ours, not mine alone. Jai Hind.

PS: deeply grateful for the few minutes of thunderous standing ovation at the end of my presentation from the massive crowd who gathered on a rainy day in Manchester to fill the main stage event. It was unlike anything I had experienced. I'll never forget it.🙏

Consuming collagen supplements for skin is same as playing air guitar at a Led Zeppelin concert. You feel great, but nothing comes out of it.
