Thank you for watching! Here's some more of my videos.

[msears]

great content as always. I think it makes me a better patient and able to ask better questions and strengthen the partnership with my doctors. I appreciate the direct honest approach.

Thank you Dr. Moran for your considered and measured information. I can tell you always present useful information without overstating claims or issues. Most importantly, it's clear you are trying to help people live healthy lives. Thank you again.

[lottidd]

Speaking facts by Dr Moran!! Thank you for your honesty.

[tfunknationtown]

This channel has been fantastic. Sober and well reasoned research grounded takes all around. Keep up the good work.

Dr. Moran you are a Great Dr in knowledge, understanding, compassion & commonsense. If I had you as my Dr I would be truly blessed but I am afraid I have to see NHS drs in the UK which is quite a different matter. You have to do your own research then which I get from good sources on the internet with Google, even the NHS website! With 5 mins of time when you visit & things so rushed you just get more ill if you don't direct or constantly push. And with a recent experience in the same hospital, I am afraid I have to say it was not much better than useless. Even you would be totally shocked & appalled at the wrong treatment that nearly killed me, seeing virtually no drs, bad nursing care for the most part. I was glad I survived but I will not go to that Hospital as an emergency again - I would rather die at home. 4 different discharge letters all could not say the correct reason why I went into Hospital, what was wrong with me & what the cause of it was! Had to leave with a letter all wrong of why I went in, stating I had 1.5 litres of Normal Saline IV which they failed to give me & was so desperately needed. Then they restricted my fluid intake by so little when I was already so dehydrated. This was done by guess work, no measuring, no chart. I was given even less & have never been so thirsty in my life & I was not even eating.. You wouldn't even think some of the drs or nurses were qualified. Things have gone really downhill since I qualified as an RGN & it is not to do with money.

I'm sorry, Dr. Moran, that the first reply to your excellent presentation was a negative one. It is indeed difficult to find people who have actually studied and pursued critical thinking and the scientific method. This is the reason the world is upside down and public schools are so poor at teaching. When the first thing a commenter presents is ad hominem name calling, you know you can discount most of what follows. This is "Beginning Debate 101". Name calling is what you use when you don't have anything constructive or useful to say. Dr. Moran, you are a sparkling, refreshing oasis in a desert wasteland of garbage and useless information. PLEASE keep sending us your wisdom and knowledge! The world needs thousands more like you! Thank you!

[chickensdontsurf]

I have watched many, and have fallen for some of them... now I hardly watch any at all. You are one of the few!

[alice-butter]

True. There's a doctor online who always advice keto diet and fasting for almost all of the health problems. Seemed true at first but now I have doubts

[oldschool]

Individualized medicine is the only way. Know and trust your Doctor.

[travisdemaria]

Such sound advice! Very reasonable points made which are sadly lacking right now in the world. Hope you make a new video soon Dr Moran, we are missing you.

[ithacacomments]

Seeking out osteopathic practitioners has been life changing for me!

[mermaidcoveclothesandnails]

Another great video. The newest study about colonoscopy and whether it lowers risk of death comes to mind. Would love to see you cover that in another video.

[jaylewis]

I haven’t been seeing these in my subscription feed and had to seek it out. There must be an algorithm that priortizes what shows up 🤔

[irmainesaguilarjimenez]

Thank you Dr.Moran, God bless you. Hi from México

Thoughts on the reporting of Covid19 impacting naive T-cells?

[aolsonx]

I agree that clinical experience is important when dealing with sick people, but what about those of us who are healthy and don't ever see a doctor? If I want to learn how to prevent disease, I don't think a doctor who only deals with diseased people is the best source of information.

[mballer]

The are plenty of doctors with clinical experience and poor outcomes.

[arturoalvarezkawai]

Great advice, Doc! And since you mention proper diet among the key factors for good health, may I ask what your opinion is on intermitent fasting? A doctor friend of mine tells me there is even a study published by the NEJM that supports the diet. As someone who does plenty of physical activity, I wonder if such a diet would decrease my energy levels and thus have a negative impact.
