Navjot Singh Sidhu, former cricketer and politician, recently shared updates about his wife, Dr. Navjot Kaur Sidhu’s, battle with breast cancer. She underwent a significant operation for a rare metastatic cancer condition, followed by several rounds of chemotherapy. Sidhu expressed gratitude towards the doctors and Tata Cancer Centre for their role in her recovery. However, controversy arose when Sidhu attributed her progress partially to a strict dietary regimen, claiming it as a key to defeating stage 4 cancer.
Medical experts, including those from Tata Memorial Hospital, refuted Navjot Singh Sidhu’s dietary claims, emphasizing that while nutrition plays a role in overall health, cancer treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies are critical for recovery. The hospital reaffirmed the importance of evidence-based medical interventions over unverified methods to avoid misleading other patients.
Dr. Navjot Kaur Sidhu’s journey remains an inspiring example of resilience and the significance of advanced medical care, but it also highlights the need for cautious communication regarding treatments.
Another response Navjot Singh Sidhu came from one the medical influencer Dr. Dhruv Chauhan. He said that,
The Video of politician Navjot Singh Siddhu stating his wife is cured of 4th stage cancer by just following Sugar free diet, eating turmeric and avoiding dairy products is very Misguiding to cancer patients and general public across the Nation.
The public should be aware his wife Najvot Kaur was undergoing Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and operated surgically with pain & palliative management in a modern medicine hospital and Not any Herbal centre.
None of these original facts were stated in the video and only this herbal diet treatment was stated by him in the press conference.
This is a thankless behaviour towards the oncologists treating his wife
The masses follow such vague advices with half knowledge by such public figures (hiding the main treatment course) and thinking that cancer can be cured by doing such herbal remedies and abstinence of diet.
These factors also contribute to violence against doctors as public follow such advices and reach to doctors in terminal stages and expect them to do some magic treatment absence of which leads to anguish over the healthcare professionals.
