Shut down Ayush Ministry or Dept PM Modi
Ayush had the largest numbers of misleading ads last month per ASCII which monitors misleading ads. If the Govts ministry cant even do that and timely advise people what good is it. Wasting taxpayers money. List of those ads is below so u dont fall in their trap:
1. Antarrashtriya Deepak K M Hospital: The advertisement’s claim, (in Hindi) as translated in English, “US FDA machines to Treat Cerebral Palsy”, was not substantiated with supporting evidence of the patients suffering from Cerebral Palsy who were successfully treated with the machines and is misleading by exaggeration. Furthermore, the claim, “Has treated 22730 overseas patients” with a visual of a child, was not substantiated with verifiable supporting data or through a third party validation and is misleading by exaggeration.
2. Nadi Vaidya Tomar Rahul: The advertisement’s claims, “Without medicine”, “Treatment of old pain through massage of veins” and “This therapy helps in removing pain from the root”, were not substantiated with the details of the therapy, supporting clinical evidence and are misleading by gross exaggeration.
3. Jolly Healthcare (Jolly Vaseir Gel and Capsules): The advertisement’s claim, “Har tarah ki Bavaseer ka sabse prabhavshali aur sastha samadhan” was not substantiated with product composition and efficacy data and is misleading by exaggeration.
4. Dr. Dassan’s life Care Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment and Research Centre (Kidney): The advertisement’s claim, “Ek mahiney ke ilaaz se hi Creatinine 10.24 se 1.9 par samanai aah gaya” (Creatinine was reduced from 10.24 to 1.9 by treatment of Dr. Dassan), was not substantiated with supporting clinical evidence and is misleading by exaggeration. The claim, “Kidney rogi transplant se bachh gaya”, was misleading by gross exaggeration and exploits consumers’ lack of knowledge and is likely to lead to grave or widespread disappointment in the minds of consumers.
5. Chaturbhuj Pharmaceutical Company (B-Gap contraceptive tablet): The advertisement’s claim, “Herbal Garbhnirodhak Tablet”, was not substantiated with supporting data and with any evidence of product details such as approval from regulatory authorities and is misleading.

6. Wish Clinic (Wish Integrated Cosmetic Clinic): The advertisement’s claim, “World Class Integrated Cosmetic Clinic”, was not substantiated with any verifiable technical data. The claims, “We have a solution - Just Wish Away”, “Treatment for Thyroid/PCOD/ Rheumatoid Arthristis/ Infertility/ Diabetes/ Insta Glow/ Laser Hair Reduction/ Laser Pigmentation”, were misleading by implication that various health problems claimed in the advertisement can be easily / completely treated by the Clinic. These claims were not substantiated with supporting data and are misleading by exaggeration.
7. Sureksha Pharma (Kanthari Plus Capsules): The advertisement’s claims, “For following ailments – Heart Block, Cholesterol, Diabetes, Obesity, Eye Sight, Alzheimer's, Kidney Function, Thyroid”, were not substantiated with any scientific rationale or clinical evidence of product efficacy and are misleading by exaggeration. Furthermore, it was observed that the advertisement with therapeutic claims had an FSSAI logo implying this product to be safe as food thus encouraging negligence for such serious ailments.
