Bro cleaned up the influencers and is going after the final boss 💀

So happy to see that there are videos highlighting this. I've been practicing as a medical officer in rural India since almost a year now and the psuedoscientific killer shit that I've seen on a large large scale is just plain scary. This mostly comes from ayurveda/homeo hybrid practitioners (thanks to modi govt) and random quacks without any degrees scattered throughout. For example, neonates who are supposed to be exclusively breast fed are given weird syrupy stuff in large quantities by random quacks.. seen aspiration pneumonia and death, Ayurvedic quack discontinues labetalol in pre ecalmpsia, severe anaemics in heart failure being given some neeri syrup or something, diabetic with chronic ulcer treated with topical steroids and weird ointments while OHA is discontinued..etc. I can go on all day with such anecdotes. This on a regular basis is extremely depressing on a personal level. At the end of the day, sometimes I just discuss these things with my mother who lives away from me. She keeps telling me to not get frustrated at things like these and rather move abroad. I tell her that someone has to try and change it, she goes silent after that everytime. As much as time permits in the busy OPD, I try to explain to the patients about the poison that they are consuming but the vast majority of them are just blinded and it's difficult to convince people with no scientific temperament who are mostly daily wage earners. Some do understand and that feels like a rare win. Things like these are causing delay in correct diagnosis at critical times, disrupt proper treatment for chronic morbidities and are doing so much of collateral harm, it's just unimaginable. But then, Who wins? The govt and the crony capitalists hiding under the garb of pseudo-patriotism. How? 1. Not too many can make it to the already overburdened tertiary care government hospitals (thanks to pseudoscientific death accelerating measures in rural India) So, the govt can keep spending low proportion of GDP on health care 2. Receives political mileage and electoral bond donations from thieves like Ramdev who don't pay a penny of tax. (Even Nepal recently banned many of Patanjali products, pharmacovigilance in India has become a joke) The cycle continues while you suffer, more each day.

One of my uncle died because of this BS called CORONIL. He was devoted Ramdev follower and was not taking his doctor prescribed diabetis medicine properly (pre-covid). When he got contracted with Covid he kept on taking coronil instead of getting tested and hospitalized in time, which turned out fatal.

Finally! Someone calling this out. Baba Ramdev has the current Indian govt support so most of the logic goes out the window right away. It’s going to take a lot of awareness before brands like these get any steps taken against them.

12:55 Wait a minute. The govt stopped the sale of Maggi and pulled it down from the shelves when there were traces of lead found in 2015, leading to massive rollbacks. And the Govt didn't even test the Patanjali products for the limits of such heavy metals? I thought the CDSCO would test any food product extensively for harmful contaminants and then establish safety standards, so how did they overlook this?

I was always sceptic of patanjali but as everyone knows the elder generation has an emotional attachment to anything labelled as 'ayurveda'. Thank you, I'll ensure to never consume alternative medicine when I grow up as an adult as well as will keep my friends and family away!

Pranav radhakrishnan has reached a boss battle in the pseudo medical business quest line

Im a practising dentist and i see a lot of oral cancer cases.. It is the most common type of cancer in India now and India has the most number of cases owing to our huge population... While oral cancer might not be caused by ayurvedic drugs they certainly aggravate it. Patients especially in the rural area when diagnosed with oral cancer go looking for quacks and ayurvedic remedies and these people instead of referring them to cancer surgeons apply local "lep" Mixture of some ayurvedic plants This leads to a quick fulmination of the cancer so rapidly and when the patient comes to us the next time its usualy too late and the patient loses his life. Its heart wrenching to see so many patients go through this ... Id also like to add that oral cancer that we see in India is mostly because of 'natural' products like areca nut commonly known as "supari" and tobacco also comes from a plant....!

You and Dr. Abby have been doing phenomenonal work♥️

I used Patanjali's shampoo because my grandmother only bought those because "Babaji" said so. I started losing a lot of hair at the age of 18. When I stopped using Patanjali's hair products, my hairfall miraculously came to almost a halt. Same with dantkanti, I used to have toothache and cavities. I grew sensitivity too. Colgate was bad too, but then when I started using Dabur Red, my sensitivity stopped but I am not sure what caused it in the first place.

Hey Pranav ✌️ Please don't discontinue this series whatsoever. It's a very good initiative and we would like to know more about these companies.

Stay safe bhai, you are against pseudo science mafia. We are supporting you as always.

Supreme court proved you right Sir 🙂

You are a warrior brother, it takes real guts to speak up against irrationality.

He is our hero, preserve him at any cost ❤️

Amazing one , Pranav. Keep doing what you do best i.e. exposing the misconceptions and malafide practices

Can we as People of this country do something about it, like file petition to AYUSH or something? It pains me to see institutions like Patanjali blatantly scamming common people. I am willing to do my part if any such thing can be done. ✋🏼

When I was in 1st standard, one of my classmate got diagnosed with tumor in back and his parents took him to Patanjali yoga peeth instead of a treating him in hospital. We later heard his condition worsened and we never got to know what happened to him later on. This thing is beyond religious debates and belief system. This is a matter of people's lives and health.

Thanks for making video on him.

One of the best channels that's fighting against religious dogma with ultimate rationality. "Extraordinary claims requires extraordinary proof". Never believe without evidence. Kudos to Pranav

The best video so far of yours.. made my day Please continue making such videos. Proper rational thinking is needed today

Thanks for sharing details in your videos. It creates a lot of awareness. Irrationality seems to be encouraged these days and it is taking us as a human race backwards.

Keep up the great work!

Well done Pranav! A systematic and scientific takedown!!

Your channel must get more attention right now.

We need more people like you thanks

Thanks!

Thanks alot you're really doing a great work this kind of work requires alot of courage I hope you get all the success in ur life.

Brother it’s my humble request that please start making videos in Hindi . I’m saying it because many people will understand logic in hindi rather than in English. In this way you will be able to spread logic in more and more people

Yes... please do a full video on Ministry of Nonsense (sorry, i meant Ayush). Nothing more entertaining that watching people being duped by fecund imagination of the average half-naked bhang inebriated sadhu (and for balance, let us include the pot-belied crazed eye taweez selling maulanas)

Recently a lawyer in Delhi has filed a case on Patanjali for including something called Samudra Phen in their "100% veg" dant manjan. Samudra Phen is cuttlefish extract.

Please continue this series. Those of us who don't research as deep as you may benefit from some of the light of 'reflected knowledge'. (Personally, though, it's always interesting to see how you present the topic even when I know the facts :) )

The fact that channels like yours are not mainstream speaks bounty about the state of mind of large population.

Patanjali products are literally bought as Prashad in India

After this video I feel guilty consuming such well made content free of cost ...just bought u 3 coffees pranav....shared it with all my younger cousins ....keep up the Excellent work... U r the yugapurusha this nation needs right now but doesn't deserve!! 🙂

Pranav is now taking on the final bosses...

Your channel deserves way more reach than it currently has.

We want a video on bhageshwar dham. Quite in news in past week. Shed some light. Please, people close to me blindly follow him.

Ramdev popping up and asking, "Kya aapke toothpaste me heavy metals h" is very much a possibility

Thanks

Good one! But do you think studies for all allopathic drugs are flawless? There are too many vested interests. A huge chunk of the profits go into marketing making it a well oiled marketing machine. Most of the allopathic medicines do not cure anything, just alleviates symptoms. Need to keep buying them over and over again

I love traditonal things and wanted to keep them alive especially i am tribal which is very important to keep our traditional i am from north east but for my health concern I trust more medical medicine then Traditional medicine

Bro the thumbnail got me so much thrilled that I won't even read the comments to not spoil the video

Drag them Pranav, You're doing amazing work.✊🏼

Boosting immunity, isn't it dangerous if you already have an effective immune system, wouldn't it be grounds for autoimmune diseases if the immunity is further boosted?

Another seemingly tiny thing but of major concern about Patanjali is regarding the size v/s actual qty of the product that you're purchasing. This is observed mostly in the medicine bottles, specially the tablets. The container looks big but the actual qty inside is lesser and the base of container (from inside) is tapering at the bottom , so that it _looks_ more in volume, but it isn't really. I mean, this is such a fishy thing for an "ayurvedic" , "swadeshi" company to do.. cheating people like that?!

Watching it after Supreme Court ripped apart Patanjali

Calling out these charlatans must begin in school, by imparting critical thinking skills to our youngsters. But what can you do when the physics teacher in a prominent private school in Delhi, on being questioned about his hypertension treatment, revealed that he was on some antihypertensive dished out by Patanjali and Ramu kaka. We'll get there ultimately, but it's going to be a long long journey.

I am just so irritated and exhausted now, my father has stopped taking insulin and oral medicine and started taking, Jamun ka beech ka juice. Also, he conviniently forgets sugar tests during ayurvedic treatment and is highly alert during allopathy, even if the sugar level rises a little he starts bashing Allopathy, also, doesn't go to doctor for follow ups, eats all kinds of sugar sources. I just don't know what to do. I sometimes convince myself that I cannot do anything else but then I am just afraid of what might happen.

Hello, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Can I get your opinion on Andrew Huberman?

My man back to debunk more scams and pseudoscience. They should be scared of u pranav 🥰

Plz debunk Chetan Bhagat and Amish tripathi.... Both of these writers peddling cultural based pseudoscience.

I cannot thank you enough for this video, for recommending TheLiverDoc to follow, and for this great channel in general!

Wonderful video, thanks!

Meanwhile, he can't treat his own 'eye' problem🤨

Great effort, keep up the good work 👍

i was waiting for this video my family and my neighbors are big fan of ayurveda and patanjali products my life has become a hellhole if i'm suffering from fever they give me some patanjali tablets (which smell like shit) instead of general medication i was suffering from sore throat a few weeks ago and instead of giving me proper medicines they were giving me all homeopathic and ayurvedic stuff and if i question them they start scolding me because i'm pointing fingers towards hinduism, yoga, ayurveda and start giving me examples how they got treated with this and how ayurvedic things are harmless

They might try to get your channel suspended, Be Careful !

I am curious to know if: 1) his papers were cited to expose him and 2) his papers were cited in other predatory journals.

Pranav please make a video on this bagheshwar baba aka dheerendra shastri. Apparently he's new in the market but I want to know how's he tricking people into believing in him.

Its even worse, the study was conducted at a infamous private medical college called NIMS, Jaipur. It was an immunity booster study. Around ~300 people were enrolled and when ~180 became very sick and were excluded since they were "improper" for an immunity booster trial.(numbers fuzzy since long time) The rest "miraculously" were cured by COVID 🤣😭

Very good video Pranav. Hope to see more such videos

You've got guts,man. You really do.

Love the work you are doing and ur videos are cutting right through a lot of falsehood. But I think to change the perspective of millions or maybe billions, we need to have the videos in Hindi or they should be released in regional languages aswell. Not only will that give u more views but will also spread awareness faster. Kudos to you

Super stuff, Pranav!

Herbs are plants valued for their aromatic, savory, or medicinal qualities. They are often used to enhance the flavor of food, as well as for their potential health benefits. Herbs can be fresh or dried and are commonly used in cooking, teas, and herbal remedies. Examples include basil, thyme, rosemary, and mint.

How to be successful Step 1. Associate yourself with a religion Sten 2. Profit

There is new scam in town that in name of patanjali they ask money for weight management and they ask and ask and never give you receipt and meet you at centre.

Culture shoud be like a river, always flowing; old one dies and new one arrives and eventually it should be replaced with a new one too when the time feels suitable. Otherwise the culture would stink, like stangnant still water.

I really like your content, but can't help but say that the backround sound accompanying the highlighting of texts is annoying af.

I am a doctor from tamil nadu, I was sceptical about this company's products even before trying their products. I have only had their mango juice and some biscuits provided in flight. No quality biscuit and juice is a complete chemical mess after 2 silp, i did touch that shit even got stomach upset on drinking that piss labeled juice.

Probable correction suggestion: At 2:42 you said n wrote "Telemarketing" but didn't you actually mean "Telemedicine"?

This is just normal business tactics Even west PPL also does the same But ayurveda has potential to be good medicine if actual research is done . Some research is already done but the ministry of ayush doesn't care about the research works just want to have hype of Harvard University appreciation

Make video on bageshwar dham baba

This video is like medicine, great video bro 🙃

Back during College days, I had tremendous side effects of Chutyanjali's "Kayakalp vati', marketed to cure marks and pimples n other sort of bad things on face and there Amala juice. Lot of Money & Time was poured to do many tests and to cure the effects :( Since then, I keep a loooonggg distance from Chutyanjali's products.

Nepal have banned few patanjali products! Sorry Nepal have banned Divya, which makes medicine for patanjali! My country banned Divya because they weren't Up to the standards of WHO. And also 15 others medical companies which weren't up to the mark.

Great video. Much needed one👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

"Science is dope" is dope

All of their products seems to cure a certain type of disease but why we don't know tht! Very excited for your videos.want more

This video needs to reach every Indian household.

Imagining a heart from pranav❤❤

Keep up the good work

Finally!

Excellent video ! But I guess it’s peoples choice to follow what they want to follow. As long as they realise that no system of medicine can reverse already diseased and destroyed organs !

1 week back i bought a pack of joggery " pathanjali Madhur". When i eat, i found a peice of sharp nail, which is rusted and very sharp i am lucky that i did not swallow that if i did, it would have damaged my throat or food pipe. Shocked. Never buy their product anymore. They are selling adultrated honey etc.

Props on debunking misinformation!

You need to have a hour long podcast with the liverdoc bro... His message needs to reach far and wide

India had an incredible opportunity to educate people on medical and bio science during covid pandemic but they choose to push Ayurveda to push emotional identity of Indians. They will not let go of any opportunity to turn a crisis into a marketing campaign.

The sad part was GoI and the ministers endorsed it so publicly.

Actually ayurveda was not intended to be a generic medicine. The texts say that no two people from different place should have the same medicine. It's personalized treatment and should be done by a selfless practitioner and without intension of profit. So a plant may be a medicine for one but toxic to another. Also it is a misconception that all herbs do not have side effects, actually even turmeric at high doses have anticoagulant effect and contradicted with blood thinning medication.

Lovely video bro. Thank you sharing knowledge. Kindly make video on Allopathy as well.

Excellent video! This is the kind of video I aspire to make. Solid.

BABA.... an acronym for Be Aware Be Aware

Just a thought, what does the government get out of promoting Ayurveda and the rest? Could it be just keeping its foot in the pharma game? India has few exports as it is...

Dude can you clarify if Aloe Vera was ever described in AtharvaVeda or Ayurveda? It's supposed to originate from middle East and was brought to India by Arab traders. Earliest record was by Egyptians. So it's kind of confusing if it's part of Hindu culture

Commenting for algorithm purposes... 😂

I had a patient who reported to opd with complaints of palpitations, headache, diplopia (double vision), dizziness and over talkativeness after consuming Medha Vati for 6months because he believed “Herbal medicines cause no harm “

fish bone is used in his aurvedic medicine
