Liver Doc’s post blocked after AYUSH ‘quack’ warning

A circular issued by AYUSH's homoeopathy regulator warned that calling registered homoeopaths "quacks" could be defamatory and legally actionable. The move sparked controversy after hepatologist Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips aka Liver Doc's Instagram post criticizing homoeopathy was blocked in India, reigniting debates over scientific criticism, medical freedom, censorship, and public health.
