Awakening "inner fire" to completely make gall bladder polyps disappear is the new rubbish "medinfluencer" Ayurveda practitioners are bringing to town. Do not for a second believe this nonsense. "Before" and "After" reports based on anecdotal, single patient "stories" are a common tactic by alternative medicine practitioners to mislead...

I lost my niece to ovarian cancer. First time around her parents (my cousin and her husband) took the correct approach, got the girl treated with chemo, surgery. After a few months when cancer cells were found again they foolishly went to Kerala to some famed ayurvedic clinic.

I also notice a strange pattern, most of these ayush practitioners have ma or MSc in Psychology. Yet to understand the rationale behind it. Secondly, they have quick treatment claims like kidney stone removal in 12 hours and so on.

The only way they can grab attention is by fear mongering. Wonder what this practitioner would do if she is in a situation where her GB has to be removed 🤔. I don’t have a gallbladder for 8 years now and nope, no problem at all. 🙄

This is Dr. Dimple Jangda. She makes us believe that she is an Ayurvedic practitioner. But the fact is that she is not a doctor. She is not even an Ayurvedic practitioner. She has no formal training in real medicine or pseudomedicine of Ayurveda. She was a television producer. Then an investment banker. Then a podcast host. And thereafter, a talk show host. She has a masters degree in business administration. She has a virtual online degree from National American University in (?)management which she claims is "honorary." She has a diploma in Yoga from Yoga Mumbai Institute. She has a virtual and unidentifiable degree in (?) business management from Thames International University, Paris. She has no formal training in any aspect of healthcare. She is a quack of quacks. A top of the line fearmongering "wellness fraud" - a bottom feeder in the ecosystem of healthcare business. She is a female version of Sadhguru. Lots of confidently sounding English words that takes shape of a word salad containing some of the biggest health-related misinformation and disinformation in Indian social media today. See this video for instance. She tells gullible people (who are already fearmongered about modern medicine and have distrust in doctors and medical science) not to opt for gall bladder removal surgery even if it gets complicated with stones disease or inflammation (called acute cholecystitis). A dangerous misinformation that can lead to loss of life. The physiology of gall bladder function and the change in function after gall bladder surgery that she provides is top-class garbage. Complicated gall stone disease require surgery for cure and to prevent further complications. If you remove the gall bladder, you do not develop more diseases like diabetes or obesity. The bile gets stored in the upper part of the small intestine in the absence of gall bladder and keeps helping in digestion. There is no food or diet shortcut that can dissolve gall stones. The story that this lady speaks about - from her own father's experience of using Ayurveda to remove gall stones is complete fabrication. It is an unverifiable, anecdotal bluff. There is no way, gall stones can just disappear in a month. There is only ONE method to diagnose and treat gall stones disease and it is the scientific method based consensus guidelines. See this from the European Association for Study of Liver - Clinical Practice Guidelines on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gallstones. It provides all information on 1. Prevention of gall stones 2. Diagnosis of gall bladder stones 3. Medical therapy of gall bladder stones 4. Surgical therapy of gall bladder stones 5. Diagnosis of bile duct stones 6. Endoscopic and surgical therapy of bile duct stones 7. Diagnosis and therapy of stones inside liver 8. Therapy of gall stones during pregnancy Peppermint tea, hibiscus tea, lemon water and such easy sounding kitchen-hacks are not the treatment for gall bladder disease or complicated gall stones. Gall bladder stones that are uncomplicated or incidentally detected do not require treatment. Do not worry about them unnecessarily. Gall stones that get stuck in the neck of the gall bladder or come down into the bile duct, causing bile duct obstruction, bile block and infection requires antibiotic therapy and after an interval, removal of gall bladder. Otherwise it could happen again and the second hit of infection could kill the person. It can also lead to gall stone pancreatitis that can lead to multiple organ failure. No amount of hibiscus tea and lemon water will save you when you are in septic shock due to cholangitis and a ruptured gall bladder, on the ventilator inside an ICU. High cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity and fatty liver are not caused by removal of gall bladder, but are risk factors for development of the stones themselves - that is, metabolic diseases are associated with higher risk of developing gall stone disease and not the other way around. The lady had gotten it all topsy-turvy - why? Because she has no formal education in medicine and would probably have no clue on which side of the body the liver is. Increasing fruit and vegetable consumption in women aged 48-60 years prevented (a correlation) risk of complicated gall stone disease, and subsequent surgery, but is not in anyway same as not doing surgery for complicated gall stone disease. Once complicated, surgery is the best bet to prevent further complications. There is no evidence that drinking carrot and beetroot juice helps reduce complicated gall stone disease or dissolves gall stones. This is utter nonsense. You may be wondering why my post is so long and I had to keep going on and on to debunk small points made by Dimple Jangda. It is not so simple. Its because of this: The Bullshit Asymmetry Principle, also known as Brandolini’s Law, states that the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it. PS: Please dont share any more of this quack's videos for me to debunk. I am getting too old for this.

I do not know who the guy is on the podcast with Raj Shamani, but he is absolutely wrong. There seems to be a section of "health influencers" who fearmonger the public on "dangers of whey protein or protein supplementation." Ammonia production is not a side effect of whey protein metabolism, but is a normal metabolic product of any protein metabolism. Ammonia is natural, generated as a by-product of protein ingestion through the breakdown of amino acids. Of the amino acids, glutamate is the one that has maximal free ammonia generation. In normal healthy persons, excessive ammonia generation is handled by the body and it does not affect brain function. This is done via the "urea cycle" in the liver: In patients with liver disease such as acute liver failure or chronic liver failure, the excess ammonia cannot be cleared out by the weak/failing liver or utilized in the muscles (because of muscle loss in liver patients) and affects brain functioning, leading to a condition called hepatic encephalopathy. This does not happen if you are healthy and taking additional protein. In fact, animal meats are more ammonia generating than plant-based or dairy-based protein and in those chronic liver failure patients with recurrent or persistent ammonia related brain dysfunction, the dietary advise is to limit animal meats and include more or switch to dairy+plant-based protein to keep ammonia generation low. Whey protein and scoops of additional whey protein to target protein requirement is perfectly safe and does not affect brain function or make the person slow like what is discussed in this video. Even advanced cirrhosis patients are supplemented with whey based protein formulations to target additional protein requirements and improve quality of life and immune functions Eg: and I hope we develop a law to deport brain dead misinformation peddling sub-standard "health influencers," like this guy in suit.

One cup of coffee before 4 pm? - total blunder. I do not know why so many people follow this guy on Instagram. Half his content is lame jokes featuring two imaginary people named Saravana Kumar and Arockiasamy and the rest of it is poorly researched, vaguely discussed medical content that misleads & misinforms and in many videos he just randomly throws jargons like "gut health" and "fasting." See this video for instance. Dr. Pal says coffee is not good for the liver because there is no "good evidence" for it. And talks about polysaccharides in coffee that gets converted to short chain fatty acids that improve gut health. He then finally suggests that one cup of coffee before 4PM is good enough and prevents "further adverse effects of coffee." This man is dangerously peddling misinformation on a well studied and documented dietary intervention that spans decades - and in the form of large scale epidemiological studies and metanalysis of such studies, featuring more than 600,000 patients across the world. First, coffee related polysaccharides DOES NOT improve "gut health" - this has been shown in multiple studies from 2007 to 2018. The change of polysaccharides in coffee to short chain fatty acids is negligible and the effect of that on gut bacteria is also not signficant. "The growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli (good bacteria) was not stimulated by coffee - "However, caffeine and chlorogenic acid partially improved the disrupted short-chain fatty acid profile in mice, although coffee had no effects." - It is not polysaccharides, but the polyenols in coffee that is beneficial for the liver. This is independent of caffeine content and hence decaff is also healthy option for the liver. See here: In 2016 and 2017 the Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee in association with the British Liver Trust published a report that concluded that: - Regularly drinking moderate amounts of coffee may prevent liver cancer – which was reviewed by WHO and confirmed this reduced risk after reviewing more than 1,000 studies in humans - Coffee also lowers the risk of other liver conditions including fibrosis (scar tissue that builds up within the liver) and cirrhosis - Drinking coffee can slow the progression of liver disease in some patients - Beneficial effects have been found however the coffee is prepared – filtered, instant and espresso See here: In 2021, A large epidemiological study based on data from the UK Biobank in 384,818 people showed that all coffee types decrease the risk of adverse clinical outcomes in chronic liver disease. See here: In 2022, a nationally representative study from the USA showed in 4510 subjects, 20 years and older showed that coffee intake was associated with lower liver stiffness (scarring). See here: In 2023, the Canadian Liver Foundation noted in their release that one cup of black coffee a day could lower the risk of chronic liver disease by 15 per cent. About three to four cups a day can reduce the risk to 71 per cent - so the recommendation is at least 3 cups of black coffee without sugar & milk daily. The experts said that: “The great thing is it doesn’t really matter what way the coffee’s prepared. It can be decaf; it can be caffeinated. It can also be drip, French press, espresso, filtered, (and) instant. All the ways (show) that black coffee is effective for liver health.” See here: The American Liver Foundation advises including coffee in your diet to improve clinical outcomes in patients with fatty liver disease. See here: To avoid reductions in total sleep time, the last cup of coffee (the third cup, ideally 150ml in Indian standard) should be consumed at least 8 hours prior to bedtime. See here: These are just scratching the surface of evidence on benefits of coffee on the liver. And there is lack of evidence? What the mind does not know, the eyes cannot see. One cup of coffee before 4 PM? So lame. What is worse than pseudoscientific garbage like Homeopathy? - Legit doctors without a scientific temperament who misinform consistently. A legit bigger pain in the a** than Ayurveda and Homeopathy. Disclosure: I do not own stocks in any coffee company and have no involvement with the coffee industry and do not receive payments or honorarium from coffee industry stakeholders.

Another defamation case in the works? Ok. Will not apologize. Will not delete. But will apologise and delete if: 1) Institution of national repute will put out a public statement that they will ensure all patients - from all wakes of life will be treated with evidence-based scientific medicine without prejudice and not Ayurvedic quackery. If the patient wants Ayurvedic quackery then the doctors must counsel them on cons of the treatment because there are no pros. The final decision can be with the patient after a wholesome discussion. 2) Call back this patient with bipolar (see last video l) who received toxic ayurvedic products as part of bipolar mania treatment and provide actual guidelines based medical care. 3) Ayurveda practitioners who prescribed the set of herbals to the bipolar patient must show evidence for their treatment from classical as well as modern medical literature, mechanism of action, dosing studies, safety profile of each herbal and multi herbal combinations in this group of patients. The amount of abuses and harassment that alumni of NIMHANS showered on my Instagram was quite a lot. They were all worried about the "name" of their institute getting tarnished...NOT A SINGLE DOCTOR from NIMHANS reached out or responded asking how the patient was or about the atrocity committed against the patient. Not one. Patients do not go to NIMHANS for Ayurvedic treatment. If real doctors don't stand up for their patients, then who will? I know doctors who work in NIMHANS and such government run institutes are held hostage and scared. But I am not, because I am only concerned about patients and their family. And their right to healthcare. I vehemently stand against integrative quackery. And every doctor should too, if they have an iota of conscience and humanism left for their patients, past-present-and future.

Dangers of coffee? Once again, the Sattvic Movement has outdone itself with this utter nonsense of a video that misleads public on coffee. The Sattvic Movement is a pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-scientific, spinal-level thinking nationalistic activism from a scientifically illiterate couple, that is leveraged on peddling anti-science concepts, demonizing scientific progression, misinterpreting evidence, and misrepresenting clinical data all the while promoting ancient and primitive superstition written in the religious texts of Ayurveda which promotes culture-traditional dogmatism in healthcare. Even a grade 4 glioblastoma is not as malignant as Sattvic Movement is to India’s scientific temper. In this video, Lady Sattvic speaks about three “facts” on why coffee is dangerous. 1/ Coffee is just for energizing temporarily and then people who drink coffee become lethargic. 2/ People get physically and psychologically dependent on coffee. 3/ Coffee dehydrates and destroys the lining of the stomach and causes constipation. Her solution: Have warm herbal teas! These statements are proof that mental constipation leads to verbal diarrhea and none of these are true. Coffee does not produce a jerk and flaccid response in the nervous system, but caffeine may. In fact, coffee as a dietary supplement for health/disease is one of the most scientifically studied aspects in clinical medicine. Three cups of black coffee without milk or sugar daily have immense health benefits that you need to know about! The Sattvic Movement is just peddling a whole bunch of lies. Coffee is significantly beneficial for the liver: it reduces fatty liver disease, reduced progression of fatty liver disease, reduces risk of developing cirrhosis and reduces risk of liver cancer development. See here here and here Coffee consumption does not only reduce risk of liver cancer, but also breast and endometrial cancer in women, colorectal and prostate cancers in men, reduces risk of dying from all causes, especially metabolic diseases such as diabetes and heart diseases and reduces risk of developing diabetes type 2 and Parkinson’s disease. See here here here People do not get dependent on coffee, but caffeine. Do you know what else contains caffeine apart from coffee? Tea and chocolates. Yes. Dark chocolate contains 43g of caffeine in 100g, coffee contains 20-40g depending on preparatory methods and tea contains 11g caffeine in 100g. So, is shifting to tea the solution to prevent caffeine dependency? Nope. Avoiding caffeinated products is. What does that mean? It means that decaffeinated coffee is as good as whole coffee, because the “goodness and benefits on health” of coffee is not dependent on caffeine, but polyenol compounds in coffee. See here and here And guess what, coffee and caffeine consumption was also significantly associated with decreased risk of depression. Yes, see here: and hey also this – coffee intake was associated with lower incidence of chronic kidney disease, end-stage kidney disease and protein loss in urine. Damn. Coffee is the superhero we all need! See here - So go ahead and enjoy some raw and real/or decaff that will increase longevity, reduce heart and metabolic diseases, cancers and reduce risk of developing degenerative brain diseases. Ok, so what about herbal teas? It is a bummer. There is absolutely no evidence from clinical studies to showcase that herbal teas are useful for anything other than featuring in misleading, stupid Instagram reels. But wait, there is more on herbal teas. Herbal teas are not all that safe. Herbal teas, especially green tea extract infusions were associated with liver injury, liver failure and death or organ transplantation. The European Union warned and limited the use of green tea extracts in foods fearing liver damage among consumers. See here and here And if you look at benefits of herbal teas versus adverse events of herbal teas in published literature, you will see that adverse events feature more. Herbal teas have caused liver injury, liver failure, multiple organ failure, accelerated hypertension, paralysis, chronic liver injury, heart failure, brain strokes and brain failure and so much more in humans! See this link: Oh, by the way, coffee does not increase blood pressure. In fact, it lowers it. So do not be too miserable on that. In habitual coffee users (3-5 cups a day), coffee had benefits on blood pressure parameters. Do not believe me? See here: and about that destroying stomach lining and causing constipation – that was just bluff from the annoyingly sounding Lady Sattvic. See here But is coffee safe for all? No. Pregnant women, please avoid more than 1-2 cups a day. See here: So, what is this Sattvic Movement all about? It is all about destroying the scientific temperament of the public in India and by misleading the public, they are creating more patients for the modern medicine hospitals to treat. Are they funded by Big Pharma? Hmmm, I wonder. I am going to think that over a hot cup of black coffee. I think you should too! And don’t forget to share this information with your herbal tea lover friends!

🚨 🚨 🚨 Marcel de Graaff, member of the European Parliament, tells of the shocking facts about the Covid19 shots found in a response from the European Medicines Agency. Marcel is talking here about the Dutch government, but I edited the original video to make it even more relevant to New Zealand. Watch, and you'll see. There are English subtitles, but here is most of what is said. I realise it's a long read, but please do read it. The EMA explicitly states that it has exclusively allowed the corona vaccines on the market for individual immunisations. And absolutely not for the control of infection and absolutely not for preventing or reducing infections. And this is devastating for governments that have gone full circle with the message that you are doing it for someone else Not only did the EMA not allow the vaccines at all to go against infections, the EMA goes even further. It explains in its answer, and I quote "The EMA's assessment reports on the admission of vaccines emphasise the lack of data on contagiousness" In other words, the vaccines were not intended to prevent infections and there are no data at all that substantiates that the vaccines help against infections. In fact, the EMA states that the exposure to the virus increases the chance of infections even in those vaccinated. The mass government campaigns to vaccinate yourself, to protect your parents, your neighbors, the weaker in society, were not only unauthorized, but also completely nonsense and not based on facts. The EMA says that the vaccines are only for the protection of the vaccinated individual. And before the individual, the patient, is vaccinated, all safety information must, and I quote the EMA again, "Be taken into account when administering or recommending a vaccination". So you were only allowed to make a recommendation for a vaccination after a doctor had determined that this was sensible in your case. And because almost no one under the age of 60 had a chance of serious complications due to the coronavirus, no one, but also no one under the age of 60 should be vaccinated after a single exception. So the sports halls full of vaccine prickers were completely in conflict with the use of which the vaccines had been administered by the EMA. To assess the safety of the vaccines, it was essential for the EMA that side effects would be properly registered. And the EMA says about this, we expect many reports of side effects that occur during or shortly after vaccination. And that means that the complaints must be reported especially in the first period immediately following vaccination. The government supported a policy in which these complaints were not reported the first 14 days after vaccination, because the vaccine would need 10 to 14 days to become effective. All complaints in that period were written to the coronavirus, and that is not only fraudulent, but that is deliberately endangering people's lives. And I remind you once again that we are still fighting with a gigantic so-called unexplained excessive mortality The government knew that the vaccines would not protect against the spread of the virus, but did not share this information with the citizens. On the contrary, it forced the vaccines to our citizens with lies, obscured the side effects and thus brought the health of everyone who had taken such a vaccine into danger. The vaccination campaigns should be stopped as soon as possible, and it is simply not safe. And it does not meet the requirements set by the EMA. And the government and all political parties that supported this should be held accountable for their lies and fraud. And please retweet! Peter A.

I upset the Orthobros on here when I posted that the Wilsons aren’t Christian. They said “how dare you declare whether or not someone is a Christian!” Here is my response (watch til the end for the most ironic part of all of this): Scripture itself tells us that it is OBVIOUS who is saved and that we can discern who is and who is not a child of God. “By this the children of God and the children of the devil are OBVIOUS: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother and sister.” 1 John 3:10 Yes, Christians will still continue to sin, as Romans 7 tell us. Sanctification is certainly messy, there’s no denying that. But someone who has been supernaturally made new by the Holy Spirit will have a real heart change. Regeneration is not an inconsequential experience. It will be obvious to people. The supernatural work of the Holy Spirit is a powerful one. Someone who is made a child of God will bear the family resemblance. No one can be born again and continue to comfortably stay in the mud with the pigs. They might occasionally still fall into the mud, they might still have dirt on their clothes even after they get up, but they will hate it when they do and will live in a humble manner before God crying “have mercy on me, a sinner.” They will pursue righteousness and have a deep deep love for others. And when they are confronted about their sin by others, they repent. So yes, we can look at someone living in a hateful unrighteous arrogant manner for years on end, even after being confronted about it, and determine that they are not of the Lord.

Should you trust alternative medicine practitioners? The answer is a resounding NO. And here is an example. Trivandrum, Kerala-based Ayurveda practitioner Vaidya (not Dr.) Rekha Radhamony misleads her >100K followers on Instagram with an extremely dangerous anti-science narrative. Such narratives sow seeds of mistrust in science-based medicine among patients and general population. It generates chemophobia (that all modern medicines are chemicals), inculcating the false notion that everything "natural and herbal" are safer and primal practices are effective. This helps Ayurveds and such practitioners sell their practices and products to people. AYUSH practititioners deceive themselves first, through a study course that stuns their critical thinking centers and makes them sheeple when it comes to following dogmatic practices on healthcare. They stop questioning. They stop thinking logically. They lose rationality. They become pithed frogs on a tray waiting for controlled animation. Ayurveda/Homeopathy are like a religion. The practitioners become members of a cult. Their only aim is to protect the religious/dogmatic principles and practices of the cult and its members and have zero concerns and are insensitive towards patients and their families. This results in FIVE major issues: 1. Patients get misdiagnosed and disease worsen. 2. Patients receive wrong treatments for correct diagnoses and develop disease-related complications. 3. Patients develop severe complications related to toxicity and adverse events of untested, unregulated alternative medicines. 4. Patients end up spending more for their required timely treatments due to initial mistreatment and falsely believe that modern medicine is expensive. 5. Patients die - terribly - avoidable deaths. Practices such as Ayurveda are deeply flawed - from every perspective you look at it. The practitioners are empty vessels, they make background noise, they cannot diagnose, treat, and do not have a protocol for follow-up and has no knowledge, practice or methods to identify adverse effects within their treatments. Homeopathy is even worse - if a patient develops worsening of disease due to diluted treatments, or a side effect of the treatment, they consider it "Homeopathic aggravation" - where they are taught and believe that eveyrthing good happens after a period of worsening. Even if the patient dies, Homeopaths would not be able to understand that the person is dead, because Homeopathic practice is inherently a brain-dead practice. Practices such as Ayurveda escape the scientific method and shy away from realistic testing and rigorous trials - because they sure-shot fail. When the evidence is lacking, then how can they sell? In this video, "the primal and primitive dogmatism of healthcare" indoctrinated Vaidya Rekha does exactly that. She confirms that Ayurvedic practice is garbage-worthy & cowardly and sticks to 5000 year old nauseating and utterly nonsense principles that refuse change and runs away from scrutiny. Following such practices is extremely harmful and this WILL lead to avoidable loss of life. The biggest strength of science-based medicine and medical science is that it is humble in its principles. Every new and effective finding is embraced and old findings are discarded. Every wrong is made right, in due course. Every wrong is identified - there is a strong machinery in place. Every doctor will appreciate the flaws and change for the better. It is nowhere like the stupid alternative medicine which is adamant and anti-human and anti-health. Scientific medicine does not fear change, does not fear acceptance of mistakes and does not invest and emote with the past. Everything is futuritic and everything is for the people. Make NO mistake. Ayush practices are cultish, and for the deceptive livelihood of the person practicing. Scientific practices are humanistic, and not for a person, but for the people.

This is Samantha Ruth Prabhu, a film star, misleading and misinforming over 33 million followers on "detoxing the liver." The podcast feature some random health illiterate "Wellness Coach & Performance Nutritionist" who has absolutely no clue how the human body works and has the most rubbish content on his Instagram handle, including complete nonsense such as herbs to manage autoimmune disorders. I am not sure how people with massive following very easily figure out the worst, science-illiterate people for them to invite to talk on science, medicine and health on "health podcasts" that are in fact nothing to do with health or medicine. Its just two science illiterates sharing their ignorance. The Wellness Coach guy is not even a real medical person and would probably have no idea about functions of the liver. He says, the best herb to improve liver health is Dandelion. I am a liver doctor, a trained and registered hepatologist diagnosing and treating liver disease patients since one decade and this is complete and utter BS. Dandelion, is a vegetable that most people consider a weed. It is sometimes used as a salad green. Dandelion can be used in salad. About 100 g of dandelion provides about 10-15% of your daily potassium requirements, at little to no caloric intake. Dandelion can increase urine output and work as a "diuretic" or like a "water pill" as per traditional medicine. But there is a lack of good human evidence for this effect. Animal studies and in vitro evidence suggest dandelion may have a variety of other beneficial health effects, but much more research is needed to trace these effects back to individual compounds found in dandelions. Limited rodent (thats rat & mice study) evidence suggests dandelion may be able to ease digestion by increasing the rate at which food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine. Supplementation of dandelion cannot be recommended at this time due to a lack of human evidence for its effects. Consuming wild dandelions is not recommended, especially those grown in urban and suburban settings, due to high risk of pesticide exposure. The only thing that features dandelions as useful is the song Dandelions by Ruth B. Do check it out. Lay source: Remember: Dandelions by Ruth B ✅ Dandelions by Samantha Ruth ❌

I've become a missionary with one message. Every time I meet a young person, the same words: have children, get married, build a family. I did not decide on this calling. It overtook me. And it overtook me for a single reason. I had no idea. I genuinely did not understand how much joy, how much meaning, how much sheer beauty pours out of a child until I was holding one of my own and felt the floor of my life drop into something deeper than I knew was there. I grew up white, affluent, secular, comfortable, and insulated. That world does not put babies in front of you. None of my friends were starting families. Out of my whole circle, almost no one has a big one. We were not formed by the presence of children. We were formed by their absence, by the strange quiet of homes built for two careers and no cradle. And a person believes what his world shows him. So we believed. What we believed was a lie. It is a lie with an author, and that the author is the enemy of joy himself. It is the gospel of the world, and its commandment is wait. Wait until you are older. Wait until the career is built and the savings are stacked and the twenties are properly spent. Enjoy your freedom. You are not ready. It does not arrive sounding like temptation. It arrives sounding like wisdom, like prudence, like the responsible thing, and that is exactly why it works. The most effective lies are the ones that wear the face of virtue. And the maddening thing is that it collapses from every angle at once. It is not rooted in biology, because the body is made for this work precisely in the years we are told to postpone it. The flesh keeps a calendar the culture pretends not to see. And it is not rooted in theology either. You will not find this deferral anywhere in the Christian imagination, in any of the fathers, in any of the scriptures. So choose whatever lens you like. Take the cold secular measure or the ancient sacred one. By either light the counsel is rotten. It is bad for the body and bad for the soul and bad for the society downstream of both. This is why I have come to see it as one of the central tragedies of my generation. Every age carries its own wound. The Great Depression was a depression of bread, a scarcity in the world of matter, hunger you could measure. Ours is a depression of a different order. It is a famine of the spirit in the middle of abundance. We have more than any people who ever lived and we are starving in a way our ancestors would not recognize, because the thing we are refusing cannot be bought and cannot be banked. The ones most made to give and receive this love are quietly declining it. They are walking away from the one inheritance that actually compounds, and the cruelest part is that they do not feel the loss as loss. You cannot grieve what you were taught not to want. That is the deepest cut of it. The lie does not only steal the thing. It steals the capacity to know the thing was stolen. A man can spend his whole life on the far side of a door he never knew was a door, mistaking the wall for the edge of the world. Because this beauty is not ordinary beauty. It is not the pleasure of a good meal or a clear morning. It is participation in something that comes down from above, the same generative love that spoke everything out of nothing and called it good. To make a person, to be undone and remade by loving that person more than your own life, is to be drawn for a moment inside the very act that holds the cosmos together. A child does not merely add to your life. A child reorders the soul. It teaches you what you are by asking everything of you, and you discover, kneeling there exhausted at three in the morning, that you had a capacity for self gift you never suspected, a depth in yourself you had no other way to reach. In the Gospel of John, on the last night, Jesus prays, these things I have spoken to you that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. And I have come to understand why family is the road into that fullness, why it is not one path among many but the one most fitted to the shape of the promise. Consider who is praying. Christ does not come to us as a lone figure dropped out of the sky. He comes out of a family older than the world, the eternal communion of Father and Son, the love between them so total and so alive that theologians dared to call it a third person. Before there was anything, there was a family. The deepest fact about reality is not a force or a law or a void. It is a household. It is begetting and being begotten, giving and receiving, a Father who is only a Father because there is a Son. So when Jesus speaks of joy made complete, he is not pointing away from family toward something higher. He is pointing toward the very thing he came from, the life he has known from eternity and came to share. His joy is the joy of belonging utterly to a Father and pouring himself out for those he loves. When you marry, when you bring a child into the world, when you wear yourself down in the small unseen labors of a home, you are not stepping outside that divine life. You are stepping into a small image of it. Your family is a created echo of an uncreated one. The love you give your child rhymes with the love the Father has for the Son. The exhaustion, the tenderness, the way a parent would tear the sky open to protect a sleeping infant, all of it is the heavens pressed faintly into flesh, the eternal household leaving its fingerprint on yours. That is why the joy is not merely added to family but completed in it. We were made in the image of a God who is, at his very root, relation and gift and generation. To found a family is to do the most Godlike thing a creature can do, to participate from below in the begetting that God does from all eternity. Your home becomes a window. Through it, dimly and imperfectly, you glimpse the country you came from and are going to. And now a word for the young people reading this, the ones who do not yet have children. I want to tell you what it is like from where I stand. When I am out somewhere, a restaurant, anywhere, and a large family comes through the door, the noise and the chaos and the small bodies of them, something happens in me on two levels at once. The first is joy. A pure gladness at the sight, the way you feel watching something good and alive. But underneath it, almost in the same instant, a sadness reaches up and takes hold of my heart. Because I know now, at my age, after my own years of waiting, that I will never have that. I will never know the particular fruit of a family that large, the fullness of that table, the weight of all those lives gathered under one roof. The door to it has quietly closed, and I felt it close. And I am telling you plainly, because I love you and have no reason to lie to you: you will feel this too. You will. The day will come when you see what you passed up, and you will recognize the ache for what it is, and it will be too late to answer it. So please, learn from a man who got it wrong. Let my regret be worth something by becoming your wisdom. Do not wait yourself into a grief you cannot undo. Choose now, while the door is open, so that you may step into a joy that does not end.

I am quite happy that India's pseudoscience mascot decided to interview this Ayurveda practitioner. It clears a lot about the fact that Ayurveda is indeed a pseudoscience and none of its principles are worthy of being considered remotely "scientific" and that it can never be tested. This essentially means that we must not research anything in Ayurveda because it is a colossal waste of time and money. Listen to this intensely foolish conversation on how Ayurveda describes the cause for alopecia and how it is treated. I have never heard such utter nonsense on a large public platform like this. I am not even sure why 100s of 1000s of people login to this YouTube channel to watch the cringefest that is every millisecond, an insult to the neuronal circuits of the brain and an embarrassment to the existence of the evolved human brain. The whole aspect of Vata, Pita and Kapha principles that guide Ayurveda & diagnosis and treatment in Ayurveda are based on obsolete theories of air, mucus and bile imbalance leading to disease. These theories were made at a time when humans did not evolve to understand anatomy and physiology. "Humoral Theory of health and disease is absolute junk." Alopecia cannot be treat by rubbing a leaf. The reason for Alopecia is not a microlevel Kapha-style mucus block of the scalp. Here is what is real: HAIR LOSS TYPES: ALOPECIA AREATA DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT from I cannot beleive I have to debunk this ancient junk even in 2023. India is regressing in many ways than more in healthcare and health-seeking behaviour, it is worrisome - because seemingly educated fools like these two, who speak English, but do not make sense, are now controlling the healthcare spectrum on social media.
