Sam in a soup

A war of words between Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, who goes by The Liver Doc on social media, has escalated after the actor shared a post making generalised medical recommendations. Sharing a picture of herself, she advised people to nebulise “with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water” instead of taking medication for viral infections. Dr Philips responded to Prabhu, who has been battling Myositis, by sharing a post from The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, which warns against the use of the chemical. “In a scientifically progressive society, this woman will be put behind bars,” he wrote. Prabhu responded with a long note stating that she arrived at promising treatments after “trial and error”, and that the doctor could have been “kind”. Both fans and celebrities were divided when choosing sides in this debate.
