The Actual Benefit of Diet vs. Drugs

Показать описание
The medical profession oversells the benefits of drugs for chronic disease since so few patients would apparently take them if doctors divulged the truth.



Yes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, but a pound isn’t that heavy—why change our diet and lifestyle when we can just wait and let modern medicine fix us up? Turns out we overestimate the efficacy of treatment as well, the subject of my next video, People also Why Prevention is Worth a Ton of Cure.

Did you catch this week’s most popular video on how patients believe statin drugs like Lipitor are about a 100x more effective in preventing death than they actually are?

This is really incredible information.  Thanks for putting this together.  If you know someone who is dealing with a pharma drug dealer, you have to share with them the truth about diet vs. drugs!

could you do a video about PCOS, and hormone treatments (like birth control) for that and irregular and problematic periods, and if there are alternatives for those type of drugs??? Thanks for all the help you bring Doctor :)

I do appreciate having a doctor for a broken bone or in the event of an accident or for many other reasons but am not taking drugs at 64 years old because eating a healthy Vegan diet works so much better

Doctors would be so smart to get on-board with teaching patients healthy diet lifestyles...instead of writing out an Rx for a pill, how about setting up practices where patients are taught how to cook/eat healthy?  Money could be made for the doctor here, as well, and the doctor's patients will live a lot longer, sustaining income for the smart doctor!!

The DOCTOR said:

"Well, sure, EVERYONE knows a plant based diet is the cure, but WHO is willing to go to such an EXTREME?"

Who indeed? Pretty much only crazy people would do THAT!

Yes but we are forgetting one thing. Most every doctor TELLS you to change your diet. They give up when you DO NOT, and THEN put you on a drug to possibly help a little.
