Why is Ayurveda a pseudoscience? It was based on observations made and documented 2000-3000 years ago. This, in principle, makes Ayurveda an ancient, traditional, faith-based system of complementary and alternative medicine with historical roots entrenched in primeval beliefs.

Ayurveda is not only a pseudoscience but also a “religion”. 💁🏾

Ask any Ayurveda practitioner to perform surgery by following exact procedure mentioned by Sushruta, when their relatives or themselves get ill and require surgery. Ask them to practice what's prescribed in Ayurveda for snakebite and dog bites? They'll run for cover. 😁😁

Honestly sir, what the modern science fails to prove is that, its manipulative, agenda driven possibilities. Unrealistic costs and the people who fund can doctor the results to their fitment. Many doctors use it to milk money for unaware public. Purely IMO

By the same logic how do you measure pain? Please specify. But you treat pain right.

Try comparing apples with apples instead of apples with oranges. Pain is a symptom. There are various Pain Scales to measure it. Ayurveda is a pseudoscientific principle. It is not a symptom we are discussing here. This is basics of biology and science which is taught in school.

I am not hear to debate on Ayurveda but on "measurable" comment. Can you measure something and say who is best talent(say artist) among a 100 people? If you look at their work it is just a symptom. In the world most things are not measurable it can only be relatable.

Very disappointed with this. I don't understand why people in power and position need to misinform. Why can't we simply follow science and evidence, progress through rationalism and logic, and stop embracing primitive beliefs and practices? Is it too much to ask? Panchakarma is an ancient practice originating in Ayurveda where a person is made to vomit, given enema that induces diarrhea, exposed to leeches that suck our blood or veins cut for blood letting. This does not in any way increase longevity, or prevent diseases. Naresh Trehan, who mentions this, shamelessly and wrongfully, has an Ayurveda Wellness Center at his hospital, Medanta Medicity where they charge INR 6000 per day for undergoing this nonsensical procedure. He's a businessman here, and not doing this in good faith. And as for Ayurveda being known as the "Science of Life," it is not. This is the biggest myth. Ayurveda means Knowledge of Life (Ayu means 'lifespan', Veda means knowledge, not science). There is no science in Ayurveda. It is a stupid pseudoscience. Don't fall for this BS. Like I said, I'm very disappointed with this.

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.

The classical response from Ayurveda practitioners or Ayurveda sympathizers (and other alternative medicine practitioners) when debating the role of alternative medicine in healthcare is to "go and study Ayurveda or read Ayurveda" to understand it better. This is a logical fallacy, a kind of escapism. Dr. Kanojia here, has not read the Ayurvedic texts, which is why, he keeps fielding for Ayurveda. India has a 5 year teaching course for students for Bachelors in Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery called BAMS. I have the complete syllabus collection of all curriculum approved text books of Ayurveda in my home library. I spent almost two years reading every single book taught in BAMS syllabus. Classical Ayurvedic teaching material is rich in misogyny, nauseatingly magical thinking, extreme levels of animal cruelty and meat eating, primitive observations, primal herbal and interventional therapies and principles of practice based on obsolete humoral and elemental theories of disease formation and diagnosis. For example: For treatment of large tumors, honey was applied over the growth, flies are allowed to lay eggs on the tumor and the maggots are allowed to eat the tumor from within. The residual tumor is then burned off. For women in obstructive labor, the hips, buttocks are beaten, the lady is made to inhale smoke from burned snake skin and feathers are used for tickling. For the treatment of tuberculosis (there was no germ theory at the time, but descriptions of emaciation in tuberculosis was observed) the patient is fed herbs and made to drink alcohol (alcohol is in fact one of the risk factors for tuberculosis as we know now) and cure is achieved by massages from "beautiful ladies." For treatment of seizures in children, demons were considered the cause (they still teach this in the BAMS curriculum) and such demonic possessions were slayed using prayers and chants. For treatment of diabetes (there was no knowledge of actual diabetes, it was called Premeha and there were different types of Premeha based on diet/ activity, semen quality and based on "doshas". Ayurvedic texts describe some of the causes of "diabetes" to eating meat and drinking milk. There are nearly 20 types of diabetes described in Ayurveda - which of course, is nonsense. For treatment of sexual disorders, testicles of various types of animals were boiled with herbs and the formulation applied or drank to increase sexual prowess and to "have sex with a 1000 women." The bottom line is, if you actually read/study the Ayurvedic texts, you'll realize how completely absurd & pseudoscientific the whole system is and you'll never vouch for it again. I am sharing some excerpts from BAMS textbooks in the subsequent post. Do not send your children to study BAMS and of course, do not read these texts. I did, so that you dont have to. It will take you to a dark place.

Can you believe that this elderly gentleman here was a Cardiologist and Professor of Medicine at Manipal Academy of Higher Education and holds MRCP, FRCP and FACC degrees honorably? He is now the real life version of one flew over the cuckoos nest. Sad to see such a downfall from celebrated medical practitioners. Same thing happened to Prof. M S Valiathan. Before he died, he spent many decades promoting the pseudoscience of Ayurveda and wasting large amounts of public funds studying an illogical concept called "Ayurveda Biology" - a concept that still does not measurably exist, except for some anecdotal low methodology, overglorified publications in open access. The amount of money wasted, teaching, studying, practicing and promoting Ayurveda and such unscientific practices in India could have actually made India a super power in evidence-based medical science publications, guidelines generations and leading consensus, if it were done right and on the right people at the right time. Both these celebrated Indian medical practitioners destroyed medicine and science in India far more than Ayush Ministry and its minions have ever done. These kind of people heavily brings down the scientific temper of a country and drags the younger generation of science and medicine students into mediocrity when it comes to evidence-based health care. Ignorance drives insecurity. Insecurity drives irrationalism. Irrationalism kills logic. If you have no logic in your actions, then your existance and actions are purposeless. How much ever educated you are.

Please do not drink your own urine (or of other humans, or other animals). Urine therapy is a dangerous hoax and has no clinically relevant medical benefits. It does not prevent, reduce or treat any disease known to humankind. Urine therapy can harm because urine IS NOT sterile. Urine therapy has been used in well-known pseudoscientific practices such as Ayurveda and Yoga and has links to religiosity in healthcare from ancient textbooks - there is absolutely no scientific evidence to this nonsense. It is known as Shivambu Chikista in Tantra Shastra & Ayurveda and is also called as Amaroli Kriya in ancient Yoga. In Ayurveda it is known as Shivambu-Kalpa or Holy Liquid: "Lord Shiva has himself narrated the "benefits of urine therapy” to Mother Parvati which has been referred in the ancient book “Dammar Tantra” in Vedas. In Ancient Hindu Veda texts, urine is referred as “Shivambu” meaning Water of Shiva. Amaroli is a traditional technique in Yoga, used by some ancient yogis of using one’s own urine for therapeutic or spiritual purposes. This may be by drinking it or massaging it into the body. For drinking, midstream urine is used, though some therapists recommend drinking every drop. Auto-urine therapy or drinking ones own urine as a system of alternative medicine was popularized by British naturopath John W. Armstrong in the early 20th century based on quotes from the Bible: Biblical Proverb 5:15 "Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well." Urine therapy was shown to promote multi-drug resistance infections in children and is not considered a "benign" practice anymore. There is no science or evidence in this. So please do not drink your own urine. Your kidneys work hard to get the urine out. Putting it back in is an insult to your kidneys. Please don't insult your kidneys.

A scientific rebuttal to a dangerous pseudoscience. [1/2] The "leech therapy" promoted on social media and in alternative medicine clinics is a dangerous pseudoscience that bears no resemblance to the legitimate, highly specialized medical use of leeches in micro-surgery. One is a last-resort surgical tool, applied under the strictest safety protocols to manage its inherent dangers. The other is an unproven, unregulated ritual based on archaic beliefs, performed without any regard for patient safety. There is absolutely no scientific evidence to support the use of leech therapy for the treatment of cancer. The claims are based on a deliberate misrepresentation of preliminary lab research. Patients who are lured by these false promises risk abandoning effective, life-saving treatments, a decision that can have fatal consequences. The risks of severe, drug-resistant bacterial infections, uncontrolled bleeding, and the transmission of blood-borne diseases like HIV and hepatitis are not theoretical; they are real and life-threatening. Even in modern hospitals that use prophylactic antibiotics, infection rates following leech therapy are reported to be as high as 20%. Aeromonas species in leeches are naturally resistant to many first-line antibiotics making these infections incredibly difficult to treat. In an unregulated setting (like an Ayurveda clinic) where no antibiotics are given, the risk of a severe, potentially untreatable infection is unacceptably high. This is the strongest possible warning to the public: Never seek leech therapy for cancer or any other systemic disease. It is not an effective treatment and will cause you harm by delaying proper medical care. Avoid any practitioner promoting leech therapy for conditions beyond its narrow, FDA-approved surgical use. Such individuals are not offering a valid "alternative" therapy; they are marketing a dangerous and discredited practice. Trust evidence-based medicine. Decisions about your health, especially when facing a serious diagnosis like cancer, should be made in consultation with qualified medical doctors and based on rigorous scientific evidence, not on viral videos or promises of ancient cures. Choosing unregulated leech therapy is not an informed choice; it is a disastrous and potentially deadly mistake.

When the young generation embrace a pseudoscience like Ayurveda. There is a huge problem in India. You may not realize it, but it is an open secret. Normalizing and glorifying “healthy alcohol consumption” seems to be the biggest social media tool that young content makers are cashing in from an ill-informed public. As a clinical Hepatologist who writes off close to five death summaries of young men aged 25 to 40 years almost every week – young productive men who have died due to alcohol use disorder and liver failure, leaving behind aging parents, creating widows or fatherless children, I sometimes feel like calling it quits. Maybe it is time to leave everyone to fend for themselves, because there is a limit to which me and other physicians can help and hope to bring a change in the people against a tsunami of disinformation that is directly harming the public health. It is like the Hydra. Cut off one disinformation, two others on the same topic comes in. And then we have young men like Shashank Sharma, this Instagram content creator and possibly an Ayurveda practitioner, who has made this video called “How to consume alcohol safely" according to the ancient traditional Indian (nonsense called) Ayurveda. This one video is enough for you to realize that Ayurveda is a pseudoscience that harms. It is a destructive professional choice for women and men studying it, because it reduces intellectual capacity, kills logical thinking, and murders rationality that students acquire in high school. The Government actively promotes it, runs large public-funded colleges to teach it to students who do not get good ranks in medical entrance examinations, but are dying to have the “Dr.” title in front of their names. Even after passing the course, the majority call themselves “doctors” instead of the traditionally given title of “Vaidya.” It is a profession solely built on the foundations of insecurity and inferiority, which is why you see Ayurveda practitioners always attacking medical science and modern medicine in India. They are trained to become blinded to truth, rabid against facts and hurtful towards those who educate the public on the harms of alternative systems of medicine. The principles that guide Ayurveda and which practitioners use to diagnose and treat misled patients – namely the theory of Vata, Pita and Kapha are part of the obsolete primal pseudoscientific ‘Humoral Theory’ that was philosophical and unscientific. It was buried once scientific discoveries progressed, germ theory evolved and the study of anatomy and physiology came into being. Essentially, this theory stated that the human body was filled with three basic substances, called three humors, which are in balance when a person is healthy. All diseases and disabilities resulted from an excess or deficit of one of these four humors – namely Vata, Pita, Kapha. Can you see how stupid that sounds now? Now the video tells us that based on the “humoral disposition” there are ways to safely consume alcohol – for example, after a hot bath and after taking sweets, alcohol damage is reduced in Pita-type people. This sounds even worse than the worst nonsense you would have ever heard. There is no safe level of alcohol and no healthy or safe way of drinking it. The human body wants to remove alcohol, a known social poison, quickly and effectively, when consumed. The body has no use for alcohol. It has no nutritive value and is all empty calories which the body does not want any of it. But here is a young Ayurveda guy, telling us how to do that safely. A slow and presumed safe exercise in “killing one softly.” Whether you consume alcohol based on Vata, Pita or Kapha or not, the harms of it include liver disease, seven types of cancer, alcohol dependence syndromes, psychiatric illnesses and suicides, heart diseases, injuries, and violence and 61 other diseases that reduce life expectancy. Terrifyingly, the incidence of severe alcohol-related liver disease is increasing rapidly, especially among females and individuals of lower socioeconomic status. We fail to implement proven and effective measures to reduce alcohol harm, usually due to lobbying and interference by the alcohol industry and because we have fools like this guy on Instagram, who dabble in pseudoscience like Ayurveda, misleading public at large. We must eliminate alcohol promotion: advertising, marketing, sponsorship and now “content creation,” to protect our fellow humans from falling into this trap. So, if you could, please do me a favor. Go to this link on his Instagram page and report this nonsense video made by this Ayurveda apologist and sympathizer, so that Instagram can remove it and take it back to the stupidest Hell-hole it emanated from. And remember, do not send your children to study Ayush courses in India. You are doing a disservice to them and to this country. The best they get from that is a dummy “Dr.” title in front of their names and the worst, they get to kill public-health.

It is a destructive professional choice for women and men studying it, because it reduces intellectual capacity, kills logical thinking, and murders rationality that students acquire in high school. The Government actively promotes it, runs large public-funded colleges to teach it to students who do not get good ranks in medical entrance examinations, but are dying to have the “Dr.” title in front of their names. Even after passing the course, the majority call themselves “doctors” instead of the traditionally given title of “Vaidya.” It is a profession solely built on the foundations of insecurity and inferiority, which is why you see Ayurveda practitioners always attacking medical science and modern medicine in India. They are trained to become blinded to truth, rabid against facts and hurtful towards those who educate the public on the harms of alternative systems of medicine. The principles that guide Ayurveda and which practitioners use to diagnose and treat misled patients – namely the theory of Vata, Pita and Kapha are part of the obsolete primal pseudoscientific ‘Humoral Theory’ that was philosophical and unscientific. It was buried once scientific discoveries progressed, germ theory evolved and the study of anatomy and physiology came into being. Essentially, this theory stated that the human body was filled with three basic substances, called three humors, which are in balance when a person is healthy. All diseases and disabilities resulted from an excess or deficit of one of these four humors – namely Vata, Pita, Kapha. Can you see how stupid that sounds now? Now the video tells us that based on the “humoral disposition” there are ways to safely consume alcohol – for example, after a hot bath and after taking sweets, alcohol damage is reduced in Pita-type people. This sounds even worse than the worst nonsense you would have ever heard. There is no safe level of alcohol and no healthy or safe way of drinking it. The human body wants to remove alcohol, a known social poison, quickly and effectively, when consumed. The body has no use for alcohol. It has no nutritive value and is all empty calories which the body does not want any of it. But here is a young Ayurveda guy, telling us how to do that safely. A slow and presumed safe exercise in “killing one softly.” Whether you consume alcohol based on Vata, Pita or Kapha or not, the harms of it include liver disease, seven types of cancer, alcohol dependence syndromes, psychiatric illnesses and suicides, heart diseases, injuries, and violence and 61 other diseases that reduce life expectancy. Terrifyingly, the incidence of severe alcohol-related liver disease is increasing rapidly, especially among females and individuals of lower socioeconomic status. We fail to implement proven and effective measures to reduce alcohol harm, usually due to lobbying and interference by the alcohol industry and because we have fools like this guy on Instagram, who dabble in pseudoscience like Ayurveda, misleading public at large. We must eliminate alcohol promotion: advertising, marketing, sponsorship and now “content creation,” to protect our fellow humans from falling into this trap. So, if you could, please do me a favor. Go to this link on his Instagram page and report this nonsense video made by this Ayurveda apologist and sympathizer, so that Instagram can remove it and take it back to the stupidest Hell-hole it emanated from. And remember, do not send your children to study Ayush courses in India. You are doing a disservice to them and to this country. The best they get from that is a dummy “Dr.” title in front of their names and the worst, they get to kill public-health.

Ayurveda practitioners adding loads of toxic heavy metals like mercury to their "traditional medicinal formulations" as part of manufacturing practices. They believe that toxic heavy metals cure diseases and reduce symptoms, based an obsolete faith-based, pseudoscientific primal ancient textbooks written 2000 years ago by Sages who counted number of human bones also wrong at the time and thought seizures were due to demonic possession and having a girl child was unfortunate, all the while describing how to use buxom women and alcohol to treat alcohol-use-disorder in men. These Ayush practitioners [un]intentionally cause poisoning within the public and patients, killing some of them in the process but never realize it or chose to ignore the self-realization, because they are brainwashed into believing multiple wrongs make a right and persistent lies become truth when it comes to unscientific healthcare practices.

The SaaSpocalypse isn't showing up in the data. Traditional SaaS is still 96% seat-based. Consumption pricing? Just 4%. The real surprise is on the other side. AI Labs are 74% consumption, but seat-based spend is climbing faster than anyone called a year ago. Max Scheiber and Ara Kharazian on what Ramp's data actually shows ⬇️

Macron: It was your presence in Yerevan that shows just how much Canada is a country that is politically and geostrategically united with Europe. It's a strong political signal of the strength that unites us, and we share this common attachment and an international system based on rules.

The reason I fell in love with cooking many years ago was because of the flamboyant and incomparable Keith Floyd. His cooking style was based on his instincts and local fresh produce. Here he is, cooking for a village community in France. It also involves a lot of 🍷 drinking.

Cooking Shows’ Biggest CURD Blunder: Cooking shows made it trendy to add / heat curd to almost every dish. But Ayurved clearly warns against heating curd. Here’s the truth 👇 Curd heating is never allowed as per #Ayurveda principle. KADHI is traditionally made with buttermilk (Takra), not curd - Heating, boiling, and tempering buttermilk is completely acceptable in Ayurveda. Same milk, different products (curd, buttermilk, butter, ghee) - but very different effects on the body. Ancient wisdom still knows food better than trends. 😊🙏🏻 Ajeet Bharti Shefali Vaidya. 🇮🇳 #foodfacts #Health #MedTwitter #MedX
