Perfect timing. I wrote about this just this morning. Jal Neti is Superstition. Nasal Saline Irrigation is Science. Read more here. https://t.co/pts9Vt4rbC
@theliverdoc Nasal saline rinse (netipot) is also an age old practise!

This is an easy question. "Steam inhalation" during / for "flu, common colds" is an archaic tradition, not scientific recommendation or rational practice. Time to stop such old-fashioned medical interventions. Doing it or supporting it, again proves health illiteracy. This is
@theliverdoc We also inhale steam during cold. Is it tradition or scientific?

"Why this unnecessary superiority complex? Just because she has accomplished more and got wider reach?" Brain Rot Abhiram, my superiority complex is the default setting here because she is a pseudoscience peddling PoS inferior lifeform misinforming science-illiterates like you
@theliverdoc You are condescending towards one and all practising alternative medicine. If you’ve got evidence to negate what Barbara is saying, you’re welcome to share and enlighten. Why this unnecessary superiority complex? Just because she has accomplished more and got wider reach?

The Quack from Down Under.
There’s a super flu going around… and this is what people used before pharmacies. Before antibiotics came in bottles, they came in jars like this. Simple. Potent. Straight from the kitchen. This is often called nature’s golden antibiotic — not because it “kills everything,”

This time, it's not Kochi. But, come to Marari. Quaint little beach town. An hour's drive from Kochi. Lush greens surround clean white beaches And sumptuous local food. Come to Kerala.

A part of the Indian media and proportion of the public in general expect doctors to take harsh beatings and aggression, and swallow verbal abuses, since being a doctor in India means they are always taken for granted because they are going to be noble with everything including

Squid masala Kerala style (lip smacking) and Sea Bass harissa grill. I wasn't expecting it to be this good. This is from Colony Club and Grill, Grand Hyatt, Kochi. Nothing can beat a seafood dinner. #cometokochi

Many have forwarded me this news. But proactively, I have stopped responding to these kind of news and updates. As a majority of mediocre citizens who are happy with the obnoxious low class services that the respective governments create and serve, and as a bunch of people who

It's Christmas and New Years time and the ER is already experiencing bloody vomits on the floor and the ICU is busy with tubes going down windpipes. Alcohol serving its purpose. Government gets their tax and hospitals their payments.

@majorstalin16 @theliverdr 😂😂 Thanks for your long explanation. I'm not saying ENO is ayurvedic. I'm comparing ENO vs Jeera. Jeera being natural and ENO being produced in some manufacturing units.

Saunf is great as a mouth freshener. Tulsi looks nice outside home and smells great too. Adhrak is good with chai. Ajwain is wonderful in Indian curries. They work as flavoring agents in the great Indian kitchen. It is childish to believe that these spices and herbs from the

@theliverdr I too was wondering the same? I was speaking to a hepatologist some time back, and she was telling about the case reports about Ashwagandha induced liver damage in adults. No studies in children, according to her. There is this brand Gritzo which had ashwagandha in its milk mix
