[IAC#RG] New DRDO Drug 2-DG is based on Acharya Balkrishna’s research

I started to dig about this new drug 2-DG, which was launched last week
by DRDO and Dr. Reddy's. This drug is claimed to reduce the oxygen
demand by a body infected with covid-19.

Reading more on this, I found that this is actually based on a research
paper by Acharya Balkrishna et al. of Patanjali Ayurveda. Here is the
original paper published on the aggregator ResearchGate:
