The Liver Doc slams Samantha's 'peddling fraud' doctors who are using her, 'misleading' people: 'My aim was..'

Samantha Ruth Prabhu's recent post on alternative therapies got a huge backlash from Dr Cyriac Abby Philips aka The Liver Doc. The health professional went on to call the actress a 'health illiterate' and a 'serial offender'. However, The Liver Doc has now apologised for his comments and said that he 'empathizes' with Samantha's health condition. 

On July 6, The Liver Doc shared a long note, and slammed the Kushi actress' doctors instead, calling them “businessmen” whose practices have been questioned by health boards. Dr Phillips, who claimed to have nearly a decade of medical practice, slammed Samantha's doctor Mitra Basu Chillar and even called Dr. Jockers a 'plain simple fraud'. 

What did The Liver Doc say to Samantha? 

On X he wrote, "I understand and empathize with Samantha's health condition and I wish her the very best. I apologize if she felt uneasy or bad the way the message was conveyed. That was unintentional. My aim was her to leave behind medical misinformation peddling "doctors" who are using her vulnerability, and catering to her anecdotal experiences, for their gain. I sincerely suggest that patients with chronic illnesses, please continue with evidence-based medical practices to remain inside a safety net and sanctuary." 

Samantha asked Dr Phillips to be polite

Samantha Ruth Prabhu's post about alternative therapy caught the attention of Dr Cyriac Abby Philips. He said that this technique has adverse effects on health and slammed the actor, calling her “health and science illiterate and even said that he wants to 'throw her in prison'. Now, the actress has issued a clarification defending herself for suggesting alternative therapy and shared a long post.

In her post, Samantha Ruth Prabhu defended herself and said that her intention wasn't wrong while sharing the post. She said, "Over the last couple of years, I've had to take many different types of medicines. I've tried everything I was strongly advised to take. As advised by highly qualified professionals and after doing as much self-research as is possible for a lay person like me."
