Despite warnings from medical experts, Kumar claims he has never set foot inside a hospital for oil-related health issues. While doctors list cancer, kidney failure, and nerve damage as guaranteed outcomes, Kumar shrugs it off with devotion and confidence.
4. Faith Over Science
He firmly believes his annual sabarimala pilgrimage shields him from all harm. For him, oil is not poison; it’s prasadam.
5. The Science Says Death. The Man Says Life.
Medical experts warn:
Engine oil = toxic hydrocarbons
Heavy metals = irreversible organ damage
Long-term exposure = respiratory failure & cancer
But Kumar defies every medical textbook, living proof that sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
6. oil Kumar: Miracle or Madness?
For devotees, he’s a living miracle. For doctors, a walking medical mystery. For the internet, he’s a viral shock story.
