I had arthritis pain for 30 years. 5 years ago, I eliminated added sugars from my diet and the pain greatly diminished. 2 years ago, I eliminated grains from my diet and my pain disappeared. I am 73 and am on no medications.

This man should be in charge of fda.
👍👍

Doctors should be reimbursed for keeping their patients healthy

My Father is 103 and has eaten Indian wheat bread all his life and has lived very healthy. I think we humans always go extreme. Eating grains is not bad but what's bad is the grains sold today in the market GMO pesticides etc are the killers. I eat in India ancient wheat, known as emmer and no bloating healed IBS symptoms etc

[ntrelis]

I want to cry when I hear that so many health issues are not really treated by our doctors. Everything is so perverted.😢

I am 66 and use no pharmaceutical products - prescribed or over the counter for any reason whatsoever. I used to be morbidly obese according to two medical doctors. I used to have a fatty liver condition. I used to have pre-diabetic symptoms. I used to have edema - swelling in the feet and lower legs from excess fluids. That edema sometimes caused serious infections called cellulitis that would require hospital stays and intravenous antibiotics. I used to have COPD symptoms from decades of smoking. I used to have occasional high blood pressure and other chronic health problems for decades. All of these are gone. And they are gone because of intermittent fasting and eating high quality locally produced real foods.

For just over two years, i have been eating just one good meal every day that i prepare myself. I avoid sugars, all highly processed junk 'foods' and excessive carbs - no breads, cereals, pastas, etc. I am healthier and stronger than i was 10 years ago. It is almost like aging in reverse! Barring any serious injuries, there is no need to see any medical doctors. I have no plans to see any in the foreseeable future.

Norman Borlaug the grandfather of Green Revolution invented High-yield crops. He then together with US government, and Monsanto enforced upon Mexican government to use it in Mexican fields. This drove all the farmers out of their family farms into the city. High-yield crops can’t survive without Monsanto products, but this product then dried out the soil. When Borlaug went back to Mexico, in 80s, he saw the dead soil, empty villages, hungry Mexicans. Did it stop the US government and Monsanto? No! Today USA is dealing with the illegal immigrants, they are the children and grandchildren of those farmers driven out of their villages by the action enforced upon them by the Nobel Prize winner N.Borlaug. His invention is a grain that is a poison we eat today. His work continues today and same as Mexico it is happening in India. In protest, Over 300 thousand Indian farmers took poison as they go bankrupt with this Green revolution, High-yield crops policy enforced upon them by US government during Obama, Monsanto, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. Please watch Vandana Sheeva about it. Please watch the documentary about Norman Borlaug

Absolutely fantastic interview. Great questions and Dr Davis is absolutely fantastic in sharing his knowledge. It was a joy to listen to.

[barbarawarren]

Very rare, highly intelligent cardiologist has his priorities straight. Love this. ❤

[joeybrazda]

The rise of celiac and other intestinal diseases is prominent after farmers started spraying wheat with glyphosate. Especially when they started spraying wheat to dry it out for harvesting which is a relatively new practice within the last 20 years.

[MsSporty]

Dr. Davis should start researching oxalates so he stops recommending high oxalate ingredients in bread substitutes.

[shantinaturechild]

Schizophrenia used to be called bread madness...
A friend gets hallucinations from bread and I lose balance and fall over besides joint pain and other inflammation and infections same as from dairy which cross reacts with gluten.

[EdouardMillan-zygd]

Stopped eating grains, starch, dairy and sugar four years ago and healed myself of a number of chronic diseases like high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, sinusitis, tinnitus, high LDL cholesterol, allergic reactions, etc.

I got 3 of his books about 10 years ago. The first one was Wheat Belly, I felt so much better following his advice to stop all grains. These grains today are manipulated. To this day I make my muffins from his recipes, almonds ground to flour is a great substitute for white flour. The flax seed makes a great bread. Your ice cream is delicious, some in fridge right now.
Cheese cake with almond flour crust is delicious. My friends ask do I have any blueberry muffins baked when they visit.
This flour does cost a lot more than other flours but it’s worth it. I buy the whole almonds and grind them myself that makes them less costly. Almond flour baked goods keep you full also. I use stevia and put about a quarter teaspoon of regular sugar in the batter that makes a dozen muffins. That little bit takes the after taste of stevia away. You really helped me with my many health problems, I speak of you often. Just got a copy of 30 minute Cookbook for a friend who likes to eat healthy. I changed to a plant based diet not long and along with your advice I feel even better. Doctors are not trying to get rid of our health problems, it’s a matter of making money, it’s sick care not health care.

[alanbryer]

The contradictions in dietary advice by scientific and (I like to think) well meaning researchers and professionals who are clearly convinced in their message of observations, is nothing short of extraordinary! As so many of us are sick, because of how our food choices are grown, we are looking for ways to recover. Nutrition is astronomically complex. Not sure any one way for everyone works. Whatever food makes us healthy needs a healthy soil. Imo non organic farming should be outlawed as a criminal offence against our Earth💚🙏🏽

[rajniswanney]

Just happened across this sitting in the sun and just can’t believe how fascinating this is. Your guest is just remarkable in his enthusiasm and delivery. He makes so much sense. Hard to get into the elimination of grains but will begin a new journey to do so. Many thanks and I will get his book.

[GeorgeStar]

My imbecile gastro never even mentioned SIBO. Right away to drugs, specifically Prilosec. Must be getting a kickback from AstraZenica.

[mritzs]

I've lived in France I've been in Europe, Japan some of the healthiest people in the world eat wheat, eat refined flour but they don't george on. It and they don't eat junk food. It's our overprocessed Free Radical oil filled foods including nuts that have been laying around on the warehouse shelves for years We are all very misinformed and everybody is very confused about food eat what you're instinct tells you to. Eat unless it's junk food bagged snacks and filled with sugar salt oil and don't overdo any one food
rotate foods do not eat the same thing over and over again to avoid pesticides or toxins of that particular food try to eat organic. Try to eat less of everything

[YouTuber-epxx]

Kudos to Jason for interviewing Dr. Davis, whose 'eat no grains' message can't be what he wants to hear. Yet interview Dr. Davis he did.

[monnoo]

fascinating interview. and the absolute climax then @41.37+++ when William talks about lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 (full strain ID @42:23) ... available from BioGaia (sweden) marketed as Gastrus, 30€

btw, do you know that well-produced yoghurt does not need a fridge? instead keep it at room temperature up to 7 days. If it goes bad you immediately see as it gets quite colorful :)) Such you get a much more powerful product :))
