Further, authors promoted their own specific #ivermectin treatment wich was inappropriate 4 a systematic review/metanalysis article. This paper does not follow @PRISMAStatement guidelines prisma-statement.org
Authors missed astute risk of bias/heterogeinity assessments

Dear @doctorsoumya, your tweet isn't in best interest of scientific practice. Yoga is an arm of the #pseudoscience & potentially harmful, untested but highly promoted #AYUSH. In fact, many #quacks promote #Yoga with other forms of #quackery.

I did not understand why you specifically tweeted on this study? Because there is more you could have tweeted on the same.
Example, simple walking, independent of other forms of physical activity is ALSO associated wit reduction in systemic inflammation. bit.ly/38Az1UZ

He started writing on using sophistications 2 integrate ayurveda into mainstream, 4 betr acceptance. However, his interviews, thoughts on medicine are all twisted by #pseudoscience #quacks to show case 'modern' acceptance of #Ayurvedic thinking. It's basically a backfire.

Translated Ayurveda 'trinity', promotes (unknowingly demeans #science) integrative medicine on media. Not sure if tis improved clinical temper.

Such integration, false promotion of hope 4 #pseudoscience has led 2 #Ayurveda using new methods on #quackery thoughts. Eg this paper @SciReports. nature.com/articles/srep1…
Basically flawed ideas tested 2 identify clinically irrelevant results which R furthr wrongly interpreted

First, choice of #journal. Choose one indexed in valid scientific databases - eg @Scopus, Medline @NCBI, @embase, @EBSCO, @webofscience. International Journal of Pharmacological Research is indexed👇😶
Just bcoz its on Google doesn't mean its quality. #pseudoscience #fake

There R indexed and impactful journals charging #openaccess fee (eg @JHEP_Reports) if the institute can afford it. Most quality indexed, impactful journals (eg @HEP_Journal) dont have open access fee to publish, but #Subscription fee for persons to read #published study.

#Ayurveda and #Homeopathy has no clinical efficacy, probably more unknown toxic effects, yet to be studied. Homeopathy is at best placebo. #MedTwitter

Modern medicine practitioners need to stop this comparison business and concentrate on their work at hand in improving the science they practice, through clinical or basic science based studies that are practice changing.
