✅ Real science. ✅ Real doctors. ✅ Real medicine. Health is too precious to gamble with. Let’s stop romanticising pseudo-science ( Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Cosmetology .Physiotherapy ) and start standing up for facts, reason, and responsible care. #ScienceMatters 🧵✌️.

⚠️ Final word of caution:.Never legitimise quacks. •Don’t call them “doctor”.•Don’t share their videos.•Don’t take your children to them.You’re risking lives, not just beliefs.

👩‍⚕️ Not every health worker is a doctor. Not every “Dr.” is medical. Know the difference. Respect the title. Demand credentials. Would you board a plane with a “self-taught pilot”?.

📚 Trust clinical science because:.•It’s peer-reviewed.•It’s reproducible.•It saves lives daily.•It’s accountable.Don’t trade it for conspiracy theories or fake cures.

❌ A real doctor won’t promise you miracles. ✅ A real doctor will:.•Listen to you.•Run tests.•Explain risks.•Adjust treatment.•Admit when unsure.That’s real care.

🧑‍🔬 Science isn’t based on belief. It’s based on evidence. •Belief says: “This worked for me.”.•Science says: “Let’s test it across 1000 people, control for bias, and review it again.”.

📺 Social media is a breeding ground for quackery:. •“Detox” drinks.•“Immune-boosting” powders.•“Natural” cancer treatments. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

🧠 Pseudo-science is anything that claims to be scientific but doesn’t follow the scientific method. It avoids testing, dismisses negative results, and often relies on anecdote over data. It’s all glitter, no gold.

👀 Examples of quackery:.•Giving antibiotics for every fever.•Claiming to cure diabetes permanently.•Offering miracle cancer cures.•Mixing unproven herbal concoctions in basements.These are life-threatening lies.

🚨 Now, the dangerous zone: Quacks. A quack is someone who pretends to be a doctor without formal training or license. They might use titles like “Dr.” or wear white coats , but their treatment is based on misinformation, fake credentials, or worse.

💆‍♂️ Physiotherapists are trained professionals in movement science. They are not doctors unless they have a PhD. But they play a critical role in rehabilitation and recovery , often working with doctors in multidisciplinary teams.

🧖‍♀️ Cosmetologists often handle skincare, beauty treatments, and aesthetics. But only Dermatologists (MBBS + MD) are licensed medical skin doctors. Don’t confuse salon-based cosmetology with clinical dermatology.

⚕️ Can alternative practices complement conventional medicine?. Yes , as long as:.✔️ They’re not replacing critical care.✔️ They’re disclosed to your doctor.✔️ They pass evidence-based review.This is called Integrative Medicine.

🌱 Ayurveda is a traditional Indian system : rich in history, but largely untested by modern science. Some formulations show promise, but dosage, toxicity, heavy metals, and lack of controlled trials are serious issues.

⚠️ Let’s get specific. 🧴 Homeopathy = ultra-diluted water with no active molecules left. It relies on the “memory of water” an idea with zero scientific basis. Multiple meta-analyses call it placebo at best.

🌿 Alternative Medicine includes systems like Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Unani, Siddha, Naturopathy. They are not inherently useless , some herbs & principles hold value. But they lack large-scale clinical validation, consistent standards, or reproducibility.

💊 Doctors follow rigorous protocols:.✔️ 5.5 years of MBBS.✔️ Years of residency & specialisation.✔️ Exams, licensing, ethics.✔️ Updated knowledge through CME. That’s the price of becoming a real, accountable medical professional.

🧪 Clinical/Conventional Medicine is grounded in evidence, trials, peer review, and continuous learning. It evolves with science. It saves lives in ICUs, ERs, and ORs. It’s not perfect , but it’s the best we have, constantly audited by the scientific method.

👨‍⚕️ A real doctor is someone who has completed an MBBS or equivalent medical degree (like MD, DO) recognized by a medical council. They are trained in clinical medicine — diagnosis, treatment, emergency care, pharmacology, pathology, surgery, and evidence-based practice.
