Raipur: Acting against the unscientific claims of a 'self-proclaimed doctor' of treating kidney related and other diseases, the Chhattisgarh chapter of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has filed an FIR against him. The Association has demanded a ban for his internet channels and books that allegedly promotes such wrong methods.
Dr Mahesh Sinha, President of IMA Chhattisgarh told Medical Dialogues, " On Monday we registered a complaint against the doctor in the police station as he was spreading misleading and wrongful treatment of kidney-related diseases. IMA has always been vocal against quacks and we have taken action after finding that he was suggesting unscientific treatment methods to people via social media."
The President further stated that the 'doctor' used internet platforms to claim that he can cure serious kidney diseases without making the patients undergo dialysis treatments. He assured that after following his recommendations about the treatment for kidney disease, patients will be cured.
