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

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.

Supreme court proved you right Sir 🙂

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.

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.

Dr. Mike in his conversation with Barbara Corcoran said " You know, when we say, boost immune system, a boosted immune system is an autoimmune condition. That's when your own body attacks itself. Do you really wanna boost your immune system?". That's when I realized that I don't wanna boost my immunity because it will kill me and not save me. It is a common misconseption that a boosted immune system means a good immune system.

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

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.

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!

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....!

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

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.

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. ✋🏼

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

You and Dr. Abby have been doing phenomenonal work♥️

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

Keep up the great work!

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

Your channel must get more attention right now.

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

Well done Pranav! A systematic and scientific takedown!!

Patanjali products are literally bought as Prashad in India

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)

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

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.

Pranav is now taking on the final bosses...

Thanks for making video on him.

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

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

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.

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!! 🙂

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 :) )

We need more people like you thanks

Great effort, keep up the good work 👍

How do you conduct research for your topics. Can you share with us so we can also become knowledgeable and aware. 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.

Very good video Pranav. Hope to see more such videos

Your channel deserves way more reach than it currently has.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of labs in Maharashtra where I can send " Ayurvedic Powder" to check the contents of it ?

Hello Pranav, I recently saw a video that said sanitary pads are toxic so I googled it and then I saw lots of websites supporting it. Can you please confirm if it's true?

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

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?

Thankyou, for this video people need to know this

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

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

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.

Watching it after Supreme Court ripped apart Patanjali

Well done Pranav!. really amazing research and beautifully presented. I have given up hope on the Indian government, given how they have operated with the Ministry of Ayush and promoting pseudoscience. But really devastated to see that the Indian scientific community is so quiet about this. No retraction of the dodgy papers, no strong reprimand by leading researchers in India and no commentaries/response to the dodgy research. Not just Ayurveda, this will really discredit all Indian scientists and the papers published from India.

Great video. Much needed one👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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

My parents do take some of these patanjali drug... any direction if we can get these product tested for chemical composition?

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

This video is like medicine, great video bro 🙃

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

Wonderful video, thanks!

Does anyone know about Patanjali dishwasher soaps? Are they at least safe? Do they contain any harmful ingredients or not? Are they better or worse than others like Vim bar?

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.

Thanks

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

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.

Excellent 👌 and thank you for doing this ❤

Great video as always. One suggestion: you can Keep the bgm at a bit lower volume in some parts of the video.

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?!

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

Great video, thank you!

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.

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

Hey Pranav I was wondering if you could do some episode about the "babas" especially as Bageshwar dham baba has emerged as a new one

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

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.

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

Finally!

What's your opinion on "Herbalife" products?

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.

Brilliant Pranav!

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

Commenting for algorithm purposes... 😂

Pranav have you looked into the recent Pfizer controversy where the director of the company is talking about their methodology? I’m curious to know your view on that

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

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

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

You should start another channel and get a guy to dub your videos in Hindi. There is a KZfaqr from south Harsha Sai who does that.

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

Pls add timestamps

Brilliant work .

This video needs to reach every Indian household.

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

Keep up the good work

👍 great stuff

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

Imagining a heart from pranav❤❤

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.

well explained 😍

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

Do you or anyone on here know about x Gold Plus capsules?

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 🤣😭
