After receiving criticism from medical professionals for advocating risky surgical procedures, Samantha Ruth Prabhu has clarified her position. She posted a photo of herself using hydrogen peroxide nebulization as a therapy for viral illnesses.
Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, well known as “The Liver Doc,” saw her article and became interested. He attacked the actress, labeling her “health and science illiterate,” and said that this practice had negative health implications.

Samantha’s explanation
“I’ve had to take a wide variety of medications for the past couple of years. I’ve taken every medication that was highly suggested to me. as recommended by extremely knowledgeable experts and following the greatest amount of independent study that a layperson like me could manage.
“A lot of these procedures also came with quite high costs. I would never stop reflecting on all the people who cannot afford it and how fortunate I am to be able to. Additionally, I was not getting well for a very long time with traditional therapies. It’s likely just me, but I have no doubt that they’ll function flawlessly for other people.
These two things prompted me to research complementary and alternative medicine. And after making a lot of mistakes, I discovered therapies that were really effective for me. treatments that were also far less expensive than what I was paying for traditional medical care.
Regarding Liver Doc’s “attack”
“I am not naive enough to go around strongly advocating a treatment,” she continued. I just made a sincere suggestion based on what I’ve learned and experienced over the past few years. especially considering that many people might not be able to pay the expensive therapies. In the end, we all rely on knowledgeable medical professionals to advise us. I was referred to this treatment by a very skilled MD who has worked at DRDO for 25 years. Despite having received training in traditional medicine, he decided to support alternative therapies.
“A specific individual has used strong language to criticize both my message and my motives. The man in question is also a doctor. Without a doubt, he is more knowledgeable than I am. And his goals were no doubt noble. If he hadn’t used such aggressive language, it would have been kind and kind of him. in particular, the part when he says I ought to go to jail. Nevermind. It comes with the job, I guess, being a famous person. I did not post as a celebrity, but rather as someone in need of medical attention. Furthermore, neither am I endorsing anyone nor am I getting paid for this post. I was just offering a treatment, which I had personally received, as a possibility for anyone who might be searching for something different when traditional medicine wasn’t helping. Particularly more reasonably priced options.
Samantha stated that rather than criticizing her, The Liver Doc should have discussed her medical beliefs with her doctor. “When medications don’t work, we can’t just give up. I wasn’t prepared to give up, for sure. Returning to the subject of the guy doctor, instead of pursuing me, it would have been wonderful if he had kindly invited my doctor, who I have tagged in my post. It would have been a pleasure to have benefited from that conversation and argument between those two extremely competent experts.
“I will also exercise more caution while disclosing information about the therapies that have improved my health because my main goal is to assist others. not to cause harm to others. Many well-meaning individuals have recommended acupuncture, Tibetan medicine, ayurveda, homeopathy, pranic healing, and other practices to me. They were all heard by me. All I was doing was something comparable. Offering as an option, something that I found to be effective. And I’m aware that a lot of us who are struggling with health difficulties require that support, particularly considering how daunting it may be to have qualified individuals who are adamantly opposed to every alternative. Every treatment has strong arguments made by both proponents and opponents. Finding quality assistance and navigating these is challenging,” she continued.
Dr. Rituja Ugalmugle, Internal Medicine, Wockhardt Hospitals, Mumbai, stated in an interview that there are possible hazards associated with both hydrogen peroxide and distilled water nebulization. Because hydrogen peroxide can lead to oxidative stress, mucosal irritation, and other serious respiratory problems, it is typically not advised for use in nebulization procedures. Even though distilled water is less dangerous than hydrogen peroxide, misuse can still result in dangers. Because of its safety record and compatibility with the body’s electrolyte balance, normal saline is still the recommended option for nebulization.
