That's very courageous. I can imagine the pressure you were under. It's not at all easy to debate someone with a strongly opposite view, especially when it's a pseudoscientific belief. And when it's filled with ad hominem and strawman arguments. Consider covering cognitive biases and logical fallacies some day. Might be good to equip viewers of your channel who might go through similar experiences..

This is a long story and I hope it's helpful. Last year during March 2020, just when the lockdown started, I returned back to my hometown from Bangalore. I was working in an IT company. Few days after I came, I had some slight chest pains. I thought it would go off as days go by. Then one day, I heard a news that one of my relative had a heart attack. I started panicking. So I told my parents and they all started panicking. At that time there were not much hospitals open. We went to a multi specialty hospital they took an ECG and said I was fine. They gave me some sleeping tablets and told me to take rest and this could be because of stress. I did that but the small chest pain remained. Then one day, my mom visited her long time family friend/homeopathy doctor. She asked about my symptoms and specifically asked if I had pain when I breathe in and out. And yes, the pain was caused by my lungs. She told my mom to get some test and chest x ray and meet her soon. Next day we took the tests and met her. She saw the x ray and asked me multiple questions. And finally said I had chronic bronchitis. I was very surprised because I don't smoke. Then I asked her like why are you telling it's chronic and not acute. During this time , my mom mentioned I had some wheezing problem when I was 1 year old. She pointed that out and said I have been having this since a kid and it's becoming more problematic now. I trusted her because she was someone who we knew for a long time. She gave some medicines and told me I had to take it for a year and it can be fixed. After taking the medication for a week the pain went off. So I started trusting her more. At the same time, I wanted to check with other doctors but no one were available due to lockdown. Then I got busy with my college applications and continued to take my medicine. Then I started researching about everything and understood I never had any symptoms for chronic bronchitis except for the slight chest pain. It didn't make sense at all for me. But I thought the symptoms will kick in anytime soon and I could fix it by taking medication properly. Then I had to leave India to pursue my higher studies. Once I reached here I started researching more about homeopathy and started wondering why I am not getting any symptoms. Met a doctor here, took some tests and he confirmed I never had chronic bronchitis. From this I concluded that I probably had some small problem. The homeopathy doctor used that and make it look like I had a chronic disease so that I would be getting medicines for more than a year and they get very good income. And when it ends, they would say they cured a disease that I never had. Then I would believe them and end up taking homeopathy for life. But I didn't end up there thanks to science. Bottom line is do not fall for homeopathy. It's a scam.
@@scienceisdope Thanks to people like you who are making efforts to make people understand the truth. I can't believe the government even allows this. And homeopathy also treats very severe diseases based on kidney which I think is very dangerous to the people.
Hey man, awesome video. One thing that really intrigued me was your point about how people tend to be over aggressive start using insults when they know they are losing an argument. To be honest, I find myself guilty of doing this all the time. Any advice or maybe so videos you know that I can watch that will teach me to admit defeat in an argument with dignity.
Just be honest. You can't be right all the time. And whenever you're wrong, just admit the other person is right. Don't overthink it. People have difficulty doing this because they confuse being wrong with being stupid. All these things like pride and dignity only come into the picture when you overcomplicate it.

I have severe cough and cold and dust allergy since childhood. Whenever I would catch a cold and literally cough my soul out I would be taken to an Allopathic Doctor. He would prescribe Cough syrups and it would take 1.5months or 2months to get better. And then I started Homeopathy. Our conversation would be for 2mins only. He would ask the issue and give me the name of the homeopathy med. In a matter of 5-6days I would stop coughing. I've been taking homeopathy meds for 10yrs and I works well for me. Also I am prone to cystic acne. The same doctor suggested a liquid to apply on my face and within 1month those huge dark spots, pimple marks was gone. Yes, sometimes it really takes time to show its effect but it really works for me.

So I told a friend about this video and he says 'How will the homeopathic medicine work if he takes it all at once? It will work slowly, only if he takes the recommended dosage on a daily basis.' I am still scratching my head. Some people just won't learn.
@@ashutosharyan6374 Actually it won't work over time. It can work in just a few minutes if it's the last few minutes of your life. Once you are dead you won't have any disease.

Hi Pranav, watching your content for more than a year. Just now i happened to see this video, I could see the importance of why everyone should learn how to communicate effectively, I always believe that serious topics are not always needs to be discussed seriously. The doc couldn't get his point accross without personally attaching you. The level of maturity and patience you got when even you dad was against you at that instance was commandable. Learning and growing along with you. Cheers!
Salute your bravery given that these quacks can easily get agitated and resort to violence when challenged. We don't have the video with the start of the conversation so it would be interesting to know when the "Dr" made the switch from addressing you "you" with the more informal, sometimes rude form of the second person.
And first of all... Homeopathy was invented by a MBBS doctor itself... And if Homeopathy was mare a Placebo than why so many mbbs doctors are turning to Homeopathy... ???
1- it was invented by an MBBS doctor when morden medicine wasn't developed, hundreds of years ago.during that time mordern medicine want developed 2-no mbbs doctor are going to homepathy look at cutoff allopathy fills up at 95% and homeopathy is mostly filled with people who don't get into allopathy.
@@shrodingerscat8940 dr. jaswant patil , dr. s.k phatak , dr. Kumar dhawale , P C majumder, Rajendra lal Dutta... To name a few... Please Google about them ,,, they all were mbbs doctors earlier but now are converted to Homeopathy

Homeopathy worked for my problems regarding menstruation. While it took 4months to get there, it made sure it never happened again. If something doesn't work for you, doesn't mean its not for everyone else either. There are good and bad people in all streams, and it's the same with pseudoscience. I never got the impression that pseudoscience is equal to science or is competing with science. However if something works for someone, they should choose it instead of becoming a sheep to the other herd in an attempt to disapprove of it. Always choose your path. There are too many cases of allopathy doctors being corrupt too and giving the wrong diagnoses, you just have to choose a good one. Idk I just find your audience extremely one-sided. Nobody should be able to dictate what someone prefers.
That's why we have researches, to see does something work and how much it works. The video here doesn't talk about good doctors or bad doctors it talks about the medicines. A bad doc is bad because of his morals and behavior not because of research based information. The pseudoscientific medicines have time and again proven to be worthless and in a lot of cases harmful to the patient (based on proper research). This "what works best for you logic" is not to be used when you are given a product which clearly doesn't work or is harmful. This logic is to be used when you are given products which are known to give the exact same result. Will you drink poison or plain water if someone claims it can solve Cancer, just to be different from the herd. And what were your menstruation problems and how long they lasted? Some of the problems get solved themselves over time, how do you know that wasn't the case?
@@MuskanSingh-kw7ux15 I have serious doubts its harmful or anything. And if it was, it wouldn't have survived so long. And you seriously think modern medicine isn't harmful in anyway? so if it works, I'm using it🤷🏿
@@aladdout9454 Homeopathy isn't harmful as such, leaving for sugar spike but it doesn't work, based on research and not your 4 mahine ka experience. And modern medicine does have side effects, but they are outweighed by the benefits. And no problem if you are using it, but don't encourage others to do the same without evidence.
@@MuskanSingh-kw7ux15 Oh u mean like how other medicines are also situational and should be given after knowing a patient's medical history? Pharmaceutical companies do more damage to the human body than anything else on the market. Don't even get me started on psychiatrist medication. Since it's not harmful, its not harmful to suggest it either. And I'm just giving my experience not preferring it over modern medicine. Also, its not 4 months ka experience since its been years now and nothing wrong has happened. Modern medicine has its advantages but does serious damage in comparison to anything else. Its almost like.....each person's case study is unique omg 😳!! and should be taken into account. Even the smallest doses of modern medicine immediately affects your gut and causes stomach problems. Again, not saying its inferior to homeopathy. But since my body is way too sensitive and so is many others, i don't see a harm in it and its been pretty useful.
I have asthma and it’s hereditary. When I was 8 it almost went out of hand. I was not like the other healthy kids in my school. I was allergic to dust and worse than that I began to develop wheezing whenever the weather gets cold. Apart from that my immunity was so low that my IgA levels were just 1/10th of the normal standard. So my parents decided to treat my asthma in homeopathy. It went on for almost 2 years till I was 10 and I would say that it helped a lot in suppressing my asthma. Didn’t help me with my immunity tho but I felt a lot better. But over the years my immunity developed and after 12 years I can say that I’m as healthy as the guys of my age. I’m not quite sure whether my asthma has completely cured or not but I’m damn sure it doesn’t bother me to the slightest. My mom has a combination of piles and fistula which she developed 4 years ago and it got worse week by week. She couldn’t take even a bite of any food which is spicy which if she did would cause tremendous pain. So she decided to treat it in homeopathy. Now she has almost completely recovered from this condition. Her fistula wounds have healed manifold and she has begun to consume mildly spicy food items without any problem though she’s kinda hesitant to return to her normal eating routine before this condition. She’s still on medications tho which is completely homeopathy based. So I personally believe in homeopathy regardless of all these claims cuz it worked for our family. I also respect the reason for y’all people not believe in stuff which ain’t science-backed. I believe that when it comes to alternate treatments like homeopathy you’ve gotta find be careful in finding the right and legit doctor.
Same happened to me when I fought (good argument)with my uncle,who is a homeopath but I didn't have extraordinary evidence to totally claim what I mean. I asked him about the mechanism of the medicine ,but he gave some explanation like quantum level healing and some research has been done by iit Bombay that it is related to nanotechnology
Found your channel yesterday. Since then I have watched 4 to 5 videos and loved it. As a person with sensory issues I am not able to watch more than 1 sometimes half of the video at a time😟😟. Would be great if you can remove the music.
Damn! That's great man Hats off to you! I had gone through the same pressure with my relative, who is basically a astrologer, It was going smooth for a long time, until we met on a eclipse day, Where he went on propagating about the common myths about eclipse, I wasn't even able to tolerate it for a minute, Without any hesitant I genuinely objected him with all the evidences and without even accepting he was wrong, he swiftly changed the topic to astrology and damn that's where the argument got heated up, I wasn't genuine this time and bashed him with evidences and with some savage statements too.. And finally he finished the argument by saying, what I leant in the school was totally wrong and later as usual he said that I'm not in a right age to understand this and I need to grow up and the things is that I was completely covered by a group of people like some 5 to 6 who were literally against me, The stress I was undergoing that time was unimaginable!
Exactly this is how these discussions go....when they can't hold on to anything else, they abuse you and label you with insensitive terms as "psychic", "mad"....
bro go and check new research on homeopathic , nano science , what potentisation and reactivity increased by charging something that is done in homeopathy , nano particles have more surface area volume ratio , you researched well but check new researches
Nano particles...? There are no particle at all in that liquid, literally nothing, not even a Nano particle. It is clearly stated that the medicine is almost 100% diluted. And even if one particle remained that is not going to change anything.
Why didn't you show the video you recorded from the start, the video starts with the point where the doctor is already agitated. Just being a skeptic :)
You are literally a one-man army against the widespread pseudoscience and blatant lack of logical reasoning and critical thinking this country is plagued with lately.... thankyou!!!
I told my mother about homeopathy. As she had hand pain she was given homeo medicine. But after watching your videos i told my mother about this and she was convinced. then she tried the ayurvedic medicines and there is a relief in her pain now.
I understand your frustration. I’m an allopath myself but isn’t it unethical to record a conversation with the so called “doctor” without his permission? There are certain rules to be followed in a hospital/ clinic which includes no photography or videography inside the room.
3:16 ok bro ask that doctor to the first ever human trial on every substance even unresearched ones that might be very dangerous since he thinks only a psychotic person would ask for evidence before getting a treatment
Can you make a video about why jealousy and hatred is rising in Indian society at exponential levels? Btw, this video is so good and well researched. RESPECT!
Pranav, I totally appreciate your courage. It takes a lot of guts to stand up for your views especially when everyone in the room don't agree with you. It also takes so much courage to start a youtube channel against pseudoscience. It is not easy to stand up to your parents /society views. I have total digust for this doctor, because of the disrespectful manner he spoke. Clearly there is no proof for many of homeopathy principles because if there was , he would shown you actual scientific research.
Why do you think scientists ( like the government) don't have agendas? Are you certain that researcher bias won't affect the results of scientific studies?
That is why "double blind randomised placebo control trial" is done, to avoid such problem. The word "double blind" means nither the patients nor the observing doctors are unaware of what medicines are given to whom.
@@PencilSketch_TariniPNayak Doctors and researchers doesn't necessarily have to be same set of individuals in a study. You are oversimplifying "blinding of trials" and are under the assumption that they are methodologically sound. Trials have been manipulated by companies that commission them by shuffling people among the blinded groups, falsifying data, burying results, and even tampering with the publication of the studies. I wish to elaborate with examples, but ill instead request you to read Dr. David Healey's article, Tricks used in clinical trials.
honestly as someone who's had a lot of doctors disregard my concerns the part where he said you shouldn't be concerned about what the physiological effects of a treatment are was genuinely shocking. like... you should actually. when your doctor prescribes you a new treatment you should ask questions about what it does and what side effects you're likely to experience and what severe side effects you should be on the lookout for. "what is this treatment going to do to me" should actually be your number one concern. i don't really think you should NEED to trust doctors personally. i think they should be able to alleviate your concerns by providing you with evidence. and like "what if i refuse to tell you the result beforehand?" dude. then why would anyone take your treatment? do you tell your clients anything at all or do you just hand them a concoction and send them on their way?
I am taking my Dad who is a kidney patient to an Ayurvedic centre because he was told that it will miraculously revive his kidneys and he will not need frequent dialysis. My dad is an extremely rational person, but he think I am misinformed, and that the Indian Govt wouldn’t have a full ministry for alternative medicines if it weren’t legit. I am going along with it, because he is really hopeful and curious, and I am hopeful that if they are using some herbs and stuff it’s probably harmless. It is highly unethical to give people false hopes!
He is already on dialysis. And it appears his kidney functions are showing “some” improvements after a month of injesting the ayurvedic stuff. All I could say is, let’s wait for it… although thay kidney stones experience is concerning.
Yeah he is already under treatment with one of the best nephrologists in the city. But the pain of taking 3 dialysis sessions every week and the promise of miraculous cures has him on this path. It’s hard to fight this prejudice towards science and unjustified trust for quackery..
Dear friend ,, u plz sit with a good homoeopath for a month....nd see the results.....u might amazed to see the many non-treatable cases getting better..... If you think all those result are becoz of belief,, can you do the same ???
Yes... I would suggest him same... Go to THE other song academy...and see results... But unfortunately this person will never read our comment...nor will he follow our advice.... These people are getting paid for spreading hatred for Homeopathy...
I don't want to argue on science or anything. Why should I have an issue if I get relief for my problem. My son had serious breathing / asthma issues. We went to multiple allopathic (proven science) doctors and hospitals. Finally they told it's not good to give so much medications to the small kid. The medicines and continuous nebulization were having adverse effect on his health also. Then we went to a homeopath based on advice from a friend. We did not have much belief in it, but there was no harm in trying out as we had tried every other option. Surprisingly his problems started reducing and we could see a drastic improvement in his health. He did not miss school much after that as well. He used to get minor colds, but with the medicines it never aggravated. So to conclude. I don't want to know if it was science or magic or they gave nectar or poison. My problem is solved and I got the result. What more do I need.

So I told a friend about this video and he says 'How will the homeopathic medicine work if he takes it all at once? It will work slowly, only if he takes the recommended dosage on a daily basis.' I am still scratching my head. Some people just won't learn.
Just as a jet of water won't create a dent on the floor but consistent drops that fall over a period of time do create a dent.
@@rabhav1443 A period of how many years?? And how many drops a day?
@@ashutosharyan6374 Actually it won't work over time. It can work in just a few minutes if it's the last few minutes of your life. Once you are dead you won't have any disease.
Dude much love from over here in the US! You do such a good job of methodically and calmly breaking down and exposing pseudoscience. You absolutely have a bright future as a science communicator.
Yes come over to US where they pass out pills like its candy. So many people addicted to drugs here and the pharma is the real cartel

Hello new to this channel സുഖമല്ലേ :)
I really don't believe homeopathy but my 10mm stone, Acidity and Coryza and itching disappeared with that sugary pills.
@@ruchirraina well my dog got cured from homeopathy. It's definately not Placebo!
Homeopathy has no evidence till now, but it do work! It's slow and you have to be patience
I can completely relate to this. Hats off to your efforts Pranav!
Haha he exposed himself.
Yes, he just did. He thinks he knows everything.
I had to take homeopathy treatment for crohns disease forcefully because I was 19 and that quack and my parents forced me to do it because they belived that I m stupid
Helpless
3:08 when the world says your mad, your on the right path 🌝 I am new sub. I thought your just like every other guy on the internet who's arguments are limited to his studio. By making this in-person argument you have earned more of my respect ❤️
Hi Pranav, watching your content for more than a year. Just now i happened to see this video, I could see the importance of why everyone should learn how to communicate effectively, I always believe that serious topics are not always needs to be discussed seriously. The doc couldn't get his point accross without personally attaching you. The level of maturity and patience you got when even you dad was against you at that instance was commandable. Learning and growing along with you. Cheers!
Damn. I'm gonna try this. Wish me luck.
Salute your bravery given that these quacks can easily get agitated and resort to violence when challenged. We don't have the video with the start of the conversation so it would be interesting to know when the "Dr" made the switch from addressing you "you" with the more informal, sometimes rude form of the second person.
And first of all... Homeopathy was invented by a MBBS doctor itself... And if Homeopathy was mare a Placebo than why so many mbbs doctors are turning to Homeopathy... ???
1- it was invented by an MBBS doctor when morden medicine wasn't developed, hundreds of years ago.during that time mordern medicine want developed
2-no mbbs doctor are going to homepathy look at cutoff allopathy fills up at 95% and homeopathy is mostly filled with people who don't get into allopathy.
@@shrodingerscat8940 dr. jaswant patil , dr. s.k phatak , dr. Kumar dhawale , P C majumder, Rajendra lal Dutta... To name a few... Please Google about them ,,, they all were mbbs doctors earlier but now are converted to Homeopathy
@@shrodingerscat8940 and also search about Dr. Surnimal sarkar a homoeopath he sees 50 cases of "cancer" everyday
@@shrodingerscat8940 and there is a Homeopath DR Gaurang Gaikwad.... His both the parents are opthalmologist still there son is a Homeopath... What reason will you give to this???
@@saharnaz4518 ok? 5 doctor out of millions
Meanwhile more then 50k doctor revive exam in our country to get into mbbs even when why are getting into homeopathy
Offer the " doctor "a homeopathic healing punch
Homeopathy worked for my problems regarding menstruation. While it took 4months to get there, it made sure it never happened again. If something doesn't work for you, doesn't mean its not for everyone else either. There are good and bad people in all streams, and it's the same with pseudoscience. I never got the impression that pseudoscience is equal to science or is competing with science. However if something works for someone, they should choose it instead of becoming a sheep to the other herd in an attempt to disapprove of it. Always choose your path. There are too many cases of allopathy doctors being corrupt too and giving the wrong diagnoses, you just have to choose a good one.
Idk I just find your audience extremely one-sided. Nobody should be able to dictate what someone prefers.
That's why we have researches, to see does something work and how much it works. The video here doesn't talk about good doctors or bad doctors it talks about the medicines. A bad doc is bad because of his morals and behavior not because of research based information. The pseudoscientific medicines have time and again proven to be worthless and in a lot of cases harmful to the patient (based on proper research). This "what works best for you logic" is not to be used when you are given a product which clearly doesn't work or is harmful. This logic is to be used when you are given products which are known to give the exact same result. Will you drink poison or plain water if someone claims it can solve Cancer, just to be different from the herd.
And what were your menstruation problems and how long they lasted? Some of the problems get solved themselves over time, how do you know that wasn't the case?
@@MuskanSingh-kw7ux15 I have serious doubts its harmful or anything. And if it was, it wouldn't have survived so long. And you seriously think modern medicine isn't harmful in anyway? so if it works, I'm using it🤷🏿
@@aladdout9454 Homeopathy isn't harmful as such, leaving for sugar spike but it doesn't work, based on research and not your 4 mahine ka experience. And modern medicine does have side effects, but they are outweighed by the benefits. And no problem if you are using it, but don't encourage others to do the same without evidence.
@@MuskanSingh-kw7ux15 Oh u mean like how other medicines are also situational and should be given after knowing a patient's medical history?
Pharmaceutical companies do more damage to the human body than anything else on the market. Don't even get me started on psychiatrist medication.
Since it's not harmful, its not harmful to suggest it either. And I'm just giving my experience not preferring it over modern medicine.
Also, its not 4 months ka experience since its been years now and nothing wrong has happened. Modern medicine has its advantages but does serious damage in comparison to anything else.
Its almost like.....each person's case study is unique omg 😳!! and should be taken into account.
Even the smallest doses of modern medicine immediately affects your gut and causes stomach problems. Again, not saying its inferior to homeopathy. But since my body is way too sensitive and so is many others, i don't see a harm in it and its been pretty useful.
Show the mechanism of action.
Show proper research on the topic.
Wow that was one of the best videos I have seen recently. Good job brother!! Typical response, expected from most parents as well...kollaam!!
I think this content is just gold. Thank you for educating me. lots of love! ❤️
Doctor doesnt know the difference of psychic and psychotic 🤣🤣🤣how is he treating people
He's not a doctor.
I have asthma and it’s hereditary. When I was 8 it almost went out of hand. I was not like the other healthy kids in my school. I was allergic to dust and worse than that I began to develop wheezing whenever the weather gets cold. Apart from that my immunity was so low that my IgA levels were just 1/10th of the normal standard. So my parents decided to treat my asthma in homeopathy. It went on for almost 2 years till I was 10 and I would say that it helped a lot in suppressing my asthma. Didn’t help me with my immunity tho but I felt a lot better. But over the years my immunity developed and after 12 years I can say that I’m as healthy as the guys of my age. I’m not quite sure whether my asthma has completely cured or not but I’m damn sure it doesn’t bother me to the slightest. My mom has a combination of piles and fistula which she developed 4 years ago and it got worse week by week. She couldn’t take even a bite of any food which is spicy which if she did would cause tremendous pain. So she decided to treat it in homeopathy. Now she has almost completely recovered from this condition. Her fistula wounds have healed manifold and she has begun to consume mildly spicy food items without any problem though she’s kinda hesitant to return to her normal eating routine before this condition. She’s still on medications tho which is completely homeopathy based. So I personally believe in homeopathy regardless of all these claims cuz it worked for our family. I also respect the reason for y’all people not believe in stuff which ain’t science-backed. I believe that when it comes to alternate treatments like homeopathy you’ve gotta find be careful in finding the right and legit doctor.
Lol his dad was like : Yeah yeah, I know he is psychic
Your content is dope
People need this kind of content. ur doing a great job
Homeopathy cured my Mom's Sciatica!! Had tried Allopathy but of no use !! So it's real.
How are you so sure they didnt mix up allopathic medications in their potions.?
Sciatica....isn't curable by medicine,either exercise or surgery the medicine are usually painkillers and muscle relaxing ones
Bro support from tamilnadu
you and professor Dave are the best
Same happened to me when I fought (good argument)with my uncle,who is a homeopath but I didn't have extraordinary evidence to totally claim what I mean.
I asked him about the mechanism of the medicine ,but he gave some explanation like quantum level healing and some research has been done by iit Bombay that it is related to nanotechnology
Found your channel yesterday. Since then I have watched 4 to 5 videos and loved it. As a person with sensory issues I am not able to watch more than 1 sometimes half of the video at a time😟😟. Would be great if you can remove the music.
Thanks for the feedback... For my recent 4 videos I've been taking care of sound and making sure there are no sudden fluctuations in loudness
What a motivation to proove science is dope 🙂🙂🙂❤
Damn! That's great man Hats off to you! I had gone through the same pressure with my relative, who is basically a astrologer, It was going smooth for a long time, until we met on a eclipse day, Where he went on propagating about the common myths about eclipse, I wasn't even able to tolerate it for a minute, Without any hesitant I genuinely objected him with all the evidences and without even accepting he was wrong, he swiftly changed the topic to astrology and damn that's where the argument got heated up, I wasn't genuine this time and bashed him with evidences and with some savage statements too.. And finally he finished the argument by saying, what I leant in the school was totally wrong and later as usual he said that I'm not in a right age to understand this and I need to grow up and the things is that I was completely covered by a group of people like some 5 to 6 who were literally against me, The stress I was undergoing that time was unimaginable!
I get an ad on Laws of attraction before the video. LOL
Exactly this is how these discussions go....when they can't hold on to anything else, they abuse you and label you with insensitive terms as "psychic", "mad"....
bro go and check new research on homeopathic , nano science , what potentisation and reactivity increased by charging something that is done in homeopathy , nano particles have more surface area volume ratio , you researched well but check new researches
Homeopathy doesn’t even considers that illness are caused by bacteria or viruses lmao ! Ja jake safeed goliya kha.
Nano particles...? There are no particle at all in that liquid, literally nothing, not even a Nano particle. It is clearly stated that the medicine is almost 100% diluted.
And even if one particle remained that is not going to change anything.
Right brother..
@@frenchomelette3488 yes you are right but we know everything because we read pathology , physiology , surgery what is your point
U should have told him 30c dilution is just water..
Go Study chemical equilibrium 😂 by increasing dilution it's effect increases
Only crazy people change the world ..
Bro keep doing your good work 👍
Why do you go there with your parents??
But...but....you did not attack a doctor, just a charlatan who might be well-intentioned.
Coming from the south(tvm),hearing you both argue in that thrissur accent was really entertaining😂😂
anways great work
Love from Kerala ❤️❤️ malayali ❤️❤️
From homeopathic he became a psychiatrist and made you psychotic..what a transition 😝
The aim of science is not to open the door to infinite wisdom, but to set a limit to infinite error.
Homeopathy is infinite error.
Dude, You're the best👍💯. Respect your work.
I will share this video, but can you ensure me 'modern medicine's security when my homeopathic family is gonna beat me up?
Yes 100% 😁
Why didn't you show the video you recorded from the start, the video starts with the point where the doctor is already agitated. Just being a skeptic :)
Because the whole video is a 100 minutes long and contains personal information.
Good work bro.. ❤❤❤❤
Man you are a legend i can understand malayalam
And this was BOLD
YOU ARE WONDERUL BRO. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING. ALL BIG SUPPORT AND HUG FOR YOU ☺️
You are literally a one-man army against the widespread pseudoscience and blatant lack of logical reasoning and critical thinking this country is plagued with lately.... thankyou!!!
@science Is dope 😂 Pranav, your parents agreeing to the homeopath reminds me about how we all deal with our parents as well 😂
I told my mother about homeopathy. As she had hand pain she was given homeo medicine. But after watching your videos i told my mother about this and she was convinced. then she tried the ayurvedic medicines and there is a relief in her pain now.
I understand your frustration. I’m an allopath myself but isn’t it unethical to record a conversation with the so called “doctor” without his permission? There are certain rules to be followed in a hospital/ clinic which includes no photography or videography inside the room.
He didn’t reveal the identity of the doctor
Please debunk Dr BM Hegde 🙏🙏🙏
3:16 ok bro ask that doctor to the first ever human trial on every substance even unresearched ones that might be very dangerous since he thinks only a psychotic person would ask for evidence before getting a treatment
Make a video on electro homeopathy. It is now growing so much in rural area. Without even knowing physiology they became dr and treating people .
Can you make a video about why jealousy and hatred is rising in Indian society at exponential levels?
Btw, this video is so good and well researched. RESPECT!
Because you hate and because you are jealous. Stop giving out what you don't want to receive .
Isn't the placebo effect scientific

For your every answer that college will give you answer of each and every question
Pranav, I totally appreciate your courage.
It takes a lot of guts to stand up for your views especially when everyone in the room don't agree with you.
It also takes so much courage to start a youtube channel against pseudoscience. It is not easy to stand up to your parents /society views.
I have total digust for this doctor, because of the disrespectful manner he spoke. Clearly there is no proof for many of homeopathy principles because if there was , he would shown you actual scientific research.
Why do you think scientists ( like the government) don't have agendas? Are you certain that researcher bias won't affect the results of scientific studies?
That is why "double blind randomised placebo control trial" is done, to avoid such problem.
The word "double blind" means nither the patients nor the observing doctors are unaware of what medicines are given to whom.
@@PencilSketch_TariniPNayak Doctors and researchers doesn't necessarily have to be same set of individuals in a study. You are oversimplifying "blinding of trials" and are under the assumption that they are methodologically sound. Trials have been manipulated by companies that commission them by shuffling people among the blinded groups, falsifying data, burying results, and even tampering with the publication of the studies. I wish to elaborate with examples, but ill instead request you to read Dr. David Healey's article, Tricks used in clinical trials.
i highly relate to this. Thank you so much for wording out my frustration backed up with so much research. Great job pranav
honestly as someone who's had a lot of doctors disregard my concerns the part where he said you shouldn't be concerned about what the physiological effects of a treatment are was genuinely shocking. like... you should actually. when your doctor prescribes you a new treatment you should ask questions about what it does and what side effects you're likely to experience and what severe side effects you should be on the lookout for. "what is this treatment going to do to me" should actually be your number one concern. i don't really think you should NEED to trust doctors personally. i think they should be able to alleviate your concerns by providing you with evidence. and like "what if i refuse to tell you the result beforehand?" dude. then why would anyone take your treatment? do you tell your clients anything at all or do you just hand them a concoction and send them on their way?
I am taking my Dad who is a kidney patient to an Ayurvedic centre because he was told that it will miraculously revive his kidneys and he will not need frequent dialysis. My dad is an extremely rational person, but he think I am misinformed, and that the Indian Govt wouldn’t have a full ministry for alternative medicines if it weren’t legit. I am going along with it, because he is really hopeful and curious, and I am hopeful that if they are using some herbs and stuff it’s probably harmless. It is highly unethical to give people false hopes!
Search for heavy metal toxicity in Ayurveda. It's not just harmless herbs.
Bs go to a doctor one of my relatives went to a homepathy and ayurveda doctor for kidney treatment and he got kidney stone
He is already on dialysis. And it appears his kidney functions are showing “some” improvements after a month of injesting the ayurvedic stuff. All I could say is, let’s wait for it… although thay kidney stones experience is concerning.
@@jaghond2 go to a real doctor or he might be in more problem in future
Yeah he is already under treatment with one of the best nephrologists in the city. But the pain of taking 3 dialysis sessions every week and the promise of miraculous cures has him on this path. It’s hard to fight this prejudice towards science and unjustified trust for quackery..
Ehh chettan malayali airunno 😁
OMG I had no idea you were a malayali! Love your videos man!

Dear friend ,, u plz sit with a good homoeopath for a month....nd see the results.....u might amazed to see the many non-treatable cases getting better.....
If you think all those result are becoz of belief,, can you do the same ???
Yes... I would suggest him same... Go to THE other song academy...and see results... But unfortunately this person will never read our comment...nor will he follow our advice.... These people are getting paid for spreading hatred for Homeopathy...
@@saharnaz4518is there any homeopathy medicine to control addiction of masturbation???
I don't want to argue on science or anything.
Why should I have an issue if I get relief for my problem. My son had serious breathing / asthma issues. We went to multiple allopathic (proven science) doctors and hospitals. Finally they told it's not good to give so much medications to the small kid. The medicines and continuous nebulization were having adverse effect on his health also.
Then we went to a homeopath based on advice from a friend. We did not have much belief in it, but there was no harm in trying out as we had tried every other option.
Surprisingly his problems started reducing and we could see a drastic improvement in his health. He did not miss school much after that as well.
He used to get minor colds, but with the medicines it never aggravated.
So to conclude. I don't want to know if it was science or magic or they gave nectar or poison. My problem is solved and I got the result. What more do I need.
