Divya Sathyaraj, daughter of actor Sathyaraj is a nutritionist who runs her clinic in Chennai. She recently had an unpleasant incident at her clinic when three people (2 foreigners and 1 Indian) visited her clinic and tried to push their multivitamins and fat burners to her forcing her to prescribe the same to her clients.
Divya recounts, “When I went through the ingredients, I was shocked as the tablet had an overdose of vitamins that could end in hypervitaminosis, a condition with an abnormal increase of vitamins resulting in nausea, blurred vision and liver enlargement. When I refused to prescribe their tablet, they were furious and taunted about Indian therapists. They also said that they would go to Mumbai and push the drugs to celebrity therapists there. I was very upset and asked them to get out of my clinic. I would like to request all doctors and therapists to go through every single ingredient of medicines, including multivitamins and sports drinks before they prescribe it. Nothing in the world is more important than human health”.
