Dear Akrit,
I have read all your remarkable wonders at the tender age of 7 years. It is mind blowing and astonishing that how a small child can do such an operation in a remote village in Himachal Pradesh India, It is amazing miracle to hear that his IQ is 148 and a genius extraordinary personality. I totally agree the comment made from Dr. Anand N. Kabbur. About a surgery made to a 8 years old poor girl to the closed contractual figures to open them with a surgery. It has been hailed as a child prodigy. He must be 28 years now, What will be his intentions and his aim In further decade of years. It should be investigated and take better decisions. These approved treatments are called ATMS-Advance Therapeutic Medicines or simply Gene Therapies.His research work for Cancer & AIDS is marvellous…best work for our nation & to international world. Keep it up dear Akrit.
Is there no one who could say anything about Akrit Jaswal, what has he achieved in his lifetime, and what he is doing now? When I google his name his only surgery comes up when he was 7, where have his talents taken him?
Hi, are you Dr.Sam Prakash from CMC Vellore?
Akrit’s theories were already discovered and validated by the western emerging biotech companies especially in the US since the birth of Akrit! Like a typical Indian, he just read all those theories and tried to project himself as a prodigy in India where the majority are ignorant of the recent advancements in the US.
Dude, you’re one pathetic sob. So you understood all the books or literature produced on advanced medicine at the age of 8, and talked about various theories eloquently! Even if all the materials were available, you can’t do it now at 50+!!!
It is curious that he has chosen not to “qualify” as a trained surgeon despite his obvious talent and verbal fluency. Instead, he apparently has pursued studies in 3 science subjects and is said to have qualified in some aspect of engineering. I had hoped that by now he would have advanced and published his gene therapy to a point where we could believe that he is actually making progress in developing a cure for ANY disease, particularly cancer. I am very hopeful and not skeptical as I sense the Dr. above who commented.
Dear Akrit,
Don’t allow yourself to be devoured by the West. Don’t leave India. Find a cure for cancer so that humanity benefits. Western pharma companies will monetise you to make a killing for themselves. They may even harm you because you have the potential to destroy the financial empire of Western drug manufacturers. Stay here.
It is mentioned that Akrit Jaswal had performed surgery on the hand of a girl who had contractures of her fingers. How was he allowed by his parents to undertake such a serious medical procedure without being qualified or trained, and at such a tender age? Does it not amount to promoting quackery? He has been hailed as a prodigy. His year of birth mentioned is 1993. So, he must be 28 yrs of age now. What is his achievement during the last 20 years after he is reported to have done this surgery? This needs to be further investigated.
Totally agree with your comment from Kabbur…I think this is a gimmick only in India this can propagate! His theories are nothing new and in fact, have already been discovered and validated since the birth of Akrit by US companies. These approved treatments are called ATMS – Advanced Therapeutic Medicines or simply Gene Therapies.
