I didn’t know Berg was a Scientologist. I must admit, he inspired me to intermittent fast and cut down on sugar and I’ve had really good results. Just one man’s experience.

[clanmaclaren]

I used to watch Eric Berg until I found out he's a Scientologist. I couldn't take him serious anymore.

[VerseauT-cmtj]

I don’t know the other two, but Dr Berg has helped me so much that I can’t thank him enough!

[nealart]

“Talk to your doctor”. Sure a guy who sees me once a year and then as fast as possible. YouTube has helped me a lot with health.

45m here. Disabled veteran. The VA had me on no less than 15 pills per day (including 4x psych meds, 2400mg of gabapentin per day, lipid and bp meds, etc.) I weighed jusy shy of 300lbs and felt like I was going to die.

Switched to a well balanced diet of mainly baked or boiled chicken, fruit and veggies, coupled with crossfit 4x per week.

I now weigh 190, take ZERO pills and can live without needing a sweat rag 24/7. No more CPAP to sleep.

I guess my message here is that the VA will happily allow us vets to have another chance to die for our country so long as we take our pills like good little test subjects.

Eat right, limit sugar, limit soda and juice, EXERCISE! Be it a leisurely walk with the dog or a high intensity program (or anything in-between). Just move!

I have faith in you. You can do it.

All that said, there is good info amongst all of the channels you mentioned if you cherry pick and then do your own research.

[uswilkibr]

Having a for profit medical system does not exactly inspire confidence and trust in that system. It's easy to see why so many fall prey to charismatic charlatans.

[andiamoci]

I have been warning about these 2 for a while... He is a scientologist and listen to what his son says about him....She has been banned in Australia...

[marilynmcconnell-twiss]

Sounds like pot calling kettle black. You are straying from your own 'specialty' into the realm of the health guru and actually cherry picking and quoting from your own research, and fear-mongering. Warning people against taking advice from 'qualified' medical professionals indeed!

[seekknowthe]

David I generally like and agree with many of the points you make in other videos. However I think your views on this subject and video are uninformed. You may be knowledgeable on other subjects but I'm having difficulty believing that this is anything other than an attempt to click bait off of attacking those you may not personally agree with.

You said (at 16:40 mark) that, "doctors have no incentive to write prescriptions." This is emphatically untrue and disingenuous. I would encourage anyone to Google "anti-kickback statue/lawsuits."

Please David stick to what you're good at such as politics because this is a subject that will have supporters like myself looking at you with the side eyes.

[Reverse_Psychology]

05:21 That angry retired judge on The Dr’s sounds like she needs to see a metabolic psychiatrist.

[FlamencaMe]

I would think that big pharma are the biggest grifters given that pills prescribed tend to cause other problems and therefore more pills are prescribed to deal with health problems that are contracted as a result. Not to mention the high cost.

[ellingolsen]

Low carb improved everything on my blood test

[mybloodylaptop]

What about those AG1 Greens? Didn’t you used to sell those on your channel? How much did you know, or not know about that product before you started promoting it on your channel?

[mary]

Well, in all my 70 years, I have NEVER been asked by a medical doctor what I eat. Never. They are not trained in nutrition. I was diagnosed about five years ago with a terminal liver disease. No cure! So I cut back drastically on carbohydrates. I eat no added sugar. After only six months of this way of life, I was pronounced cured. My liver function is completely normal. My blood pressure is normal. I have never felt better in my life. I never used seed oils and don’t eat any processed foods. The last time I saw a doctor, she asked me what I was there for since my health is perfect. I do not follow any of these “experts” but my own personal experience speaks for itself.

[henrys]

"This one simple and they never tell you what it is.

[CloudyBeam]

You wouldn’t believe what I went through by going to my doctor trying to solve a medical issue. I ended up finding the solution by watching YouTube videos and visiting a chiropractor who practiced homeopathy.
And I want to add that my insurance was willing to pay thousands of dollars for MRIs, EEGs and several different specialists to solve my problems. But they refused to pay for the chiropractor who actually gave me answers and solutions. I paid out of pocket for his service, and it was worth every single penny.

[stevenwilliambaylessparks]

The standard American diet and lifestyle is NOT the envy of the world.

[plynn]

Aspirin is derived from salicylic acid. Acne medications are too.

[natsway]

The problem with this show is, David seems to believe that "doctors", in general, by virtue of their medical degree, are well versed in nutritional science. Unfortunately, he would be sadly mistaken. Just like vaccines, physicians get maybe 30 hours worth in their education, that's it. So, unless you're seeking advice from a board certified nutritionist? Trusting your doctor? Could come back to haunt you. Remember, big pharma OWNS the medical system and they want long term customers, not good health. And just like vaccines? David here, is woefully, out of his league.
So Dr. David, how do you explain the many who've been on carnivore for years and doing quite well?

[OleensEmbroidery]

I had great results with the keto lifestyle. Lipid profile is now perfect, weight loss achieved, cravings gone and A1C below 5.
