CCS Convener Dr. Kuldeep Solanki mentioned the dangers of his claims, saying they could mislead cancer patients and jeopardise their health.

According to the former Indian cricketer, the remedies he referred to were a supplementary measure taken in consultation with doctors.
“I want to say that a doctor is like God to me, and doctors have always been my priority. Whatever we have done was done with the consultation of doctors in a collaborative process,” Sidhu said.
It is pertinent to note here that Navjot Kaur revealed her cancer diagnosis in March last year when her husband was in jail.
Kaur, a former member of the Punjab Legislative Assembly, revealed her diagnosis in a series of tweets addressing her jailed husband, Singh.
“He is in the prison for a crime he has not committed. Forgive all those involved. Waiting for you each day outside probably suffering more than you. As usual trying to take your pain away, asked for sharing it. Happened to see a small growth, knew it was bad,” she wrote on the micro-blogging site.
