Shefali Jariwala

Shefali Jariwala is said to have died after the injection of an anti ageing agent, Glutathione. Now, think about it. Did the anti-aging drug not keep up to its promise? It did not give her an opportunity to age! The truth is, this is not a stand-alone drug. It is a part of a treatment regime that involves lifestyle modifications, diet, and exercises under the supervision of a medical expert, not a dietitian or a gym guru. My classmate from Colvin, Prof. Ambrish Mittal has in a recent CNBC TV interview beautifully explained how effective this drug is in the hand of experts. It is a genuine breakthrough but the pharma industry, in its lust for profit, is not propagating it responsibly. Media too would be failing in its duty if it now irresponsibly criticises this drug to destruction. Just because a lunatic can slash the jugular with a scalpel, would you go out and ban the scalpel?
