Samantha Ruth Prabhu has sparked controversy again after sharing a video discussing supplements with natural medicine doctor and author David Jockers. The actress has added a disclaimer to the Instagram reels, stating that the content is for "informational purposes only." This comes after her previous social media post about nebulizing with hydrogen peroxide was criticized by Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips, who accused her of promoting harmful health tips.
Dr. Philips, known as The Liver Doc, had called Samantha "health illiterate" and demanded consequences for her recommendation, suggesting she needed better advisors. Samantha responded, explaining that she only recommended treatments that worked well for her. The latest episode with David Jockers has reignited the debate, with Samantha emphasizing the importance of consulting a healthcare professional before trying any supplements.
Samantha's decision to include a disclaimer in her latest video suggests an attempt to avoid further backlash. However, the controversy has raised questions about the responsibility of influencers and celebrities in promoting health advice. While Samantha has clarified that she only shares what works for her, critics argue that her large following and influence can lead to misinformation.
The debate highlights the need for accurate and reliable health information, especially in the age of social media. As Samantha continues to share her health journey, fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see how she navigates the complex landscape of health advice and celebrity influence.
