I told my family about the processed meats causing cancer and they kept eating processed meats pretty much everyday, several times a day. People don't care. It's very frustrating :(
I had a conversation about it with colleagues who are literally health care professionals and they were all "who cares, it's all genetic anyway...." uhhhh, none of them smoke, they know smoking is bad... but eating 5 hot dogs on white bread buns at a birthday party is okay? hmmm
Rebecca Marchand-Smith yeah it's like as if they are addicted I was told "everything can cause cancer, breathing causes cancer" that's the same strategy that many smokers use or tell themselves "we're all dying anyway in the end so who cares?"
You must live for yourself. Live well, be happy and active, be the change you want to see in the world. People do change, but they don't share your timeline, be patient and a good example.
That is how it is, until they get diagnosed with a degenerate disease. When Death comes knocking on there door, then they realize how bad is the western diet, and how serious and important this whole dietary lifestyle. Of course we still have people who still don't really care, and think that because they only live once then might as well live it up by eating whatever they like, and living which ever way they enjoy. Hmmm...I wonder if anyone of them really would not care when they would find themselves grabbing their chests in pain, or going numb on one side of there bodies.
He talks about how his book is *still* a New York Times bestseller and how that's extraordinary, but he doesn't come off at all proud or arrogant when he says it. This is someone whose cause is truly bigger than his own ego and he's comfortable with that. You gooooo Dr Greger!! ❤️
completely agree. i think it's because he talks about how this is extraodinary because people are hungry for the information - nothing to do with his brilliant when he was saying that
I think that's very admirable. For me it was Dr. Esselstyn and I saw his video by accident, after being Paleo for three years. Not looking back! Oh yeah tell the guy below. Vegans Do It Better!
I agree with Dr. Greger's crowd funding idea. A study funded by people and not cooperations, companies or money profiting organisations would be fantastic. And I'm sure it's duable. Just spread the word!
in practical terms, its not a bad idea. in fundamental terms, however, I truly hate that its necessary. our TAXES are supposed to be the real crowd funding for studies.
As long as phytochemicals target cancer stem cells - I am continuing with my daily eating of a kale, avocado, red onion, splash of Braggs apple cider vineagar and turmeric w/cracked black-peppercorn salads. No chemo and no ionizing radiation for me. The Harvard Medical School dashboard stated in: "Ionizing Radiation Induces Cancer Stemness", and the sentence within states "Cancer stem cells are resistant to conventional chemo- and radio- therapies" - as well as the PubMed research: "Phytochemicals Target Cancer Stem Cells" is good enough for me. I live it and I am a walking breathing testament [mente/mentis in Latin means "mind"] I am two years and two months cancer-free, and I am happy about it - thank you very much. And, I have my medical records [documented in black and white from the Oncologist] and the documents of my pathology reports to prove it. 100% proof.
Please use Ecosia.org if/when researching about how cancer stem cells are resistant to chemotherapy and ionizing radiation. And, please use ecosia.org when researching about how phytochemicals target cancer stem cells. Ecosia.org is involved with reforestation efforts. They seem to actually care about our environment 🍁🌲🌳🌰🌱🍃
"Yes I'm cherry picking the science that exists in this universe " hahahahahahahahaha that was the best part of the interview, I just love him sooo much
Yeah, the science is that humans thrive on a meat based diet and end up with serious metabolic problems when they eat a vegan diet. The science shows what happens to children who don't get proper animal based nutrition. The science of reality, not 7th Day Adventist puritanical nonsense.
On July 4, 2017, my husband and I went full plant-based. Had a physical and cholesterol check at ARC in Austin, Tx on June 30,2017; had a total cholesterol of 226! After TWO weeks of total plant-based diet, I asked the doctor to schedule another lab check for my cholesterol level again .(I wanted to see for myself). I had to ask twice but she let me do it. On July 18, 2017, my total cholesterol level was 136!!! Can you believe it? Same lab, same test!! There you go Dr. Greger!!!
I forgot to add, I lost 5 lbs; it just kinda "melted off" and my cough that I had for over 17 years (told I had allergy,acid reflux and asthma and nothing helped) got 80 to 90% better too! Thanks for listening
Excellent as usual. One of my favourite doctors. I love the bit where he says he'll retire to a desert island and drink kale juice when the whole world knows the truth!
Thanks for your wisdom and honesty. The first solid meal my father was given in the hospital after having his esophagus removed was chicken nuggets and tater tots. I was livid. Then in 2001, after being treated for breast cancer, I went to a seminar in the treatment center and a lovely but ill informed dietician recommended we use conventional margarine. The patients had to tell her about trans fats.
Go Mo because theres a certain act passed by the meat industry called the “common sense act” that states they don’t need to disclose that kind of information because it should already be common sense to the public. Sad but true.
I love Dr. Gregor, he is so entertaining and funny. He must have Scottish ancestry because he talks so fast. And that's coming from a Scottish person :-D Oh! and that crowd funding idea was brilliant - I'd chip-in!
I just finished How Not To Die and it is the best book I have read on the topic of health, disease and nutrition. Raised vegetarian (Adventist) I ate a ton of dairy and sugar as a kid. Then I tried the Pritikin plan when my kids were little and we loved the freedom from illness etc. But I got caught up in the trends: primarily wild salmon, olive oil, coconut oil, eggs etc. I've been fully WFPB for two years now, but this book really upped my knowledge, commitment and eating enjoyment! Thank you so much for all you do Dr. Greger and Plant Based News!
I would disagree about "corruption." Once the curtain is pulled back and we know what is bad for our health yet people in power still push bad food and drugs, or look the other way, then they are corrupt.
I think Dr Gregers legacy is a career of study putting the evidence-based facts out there for all to learn, so each person can decide for themselves. We should expect all our physicians to do the research & advise us accordingly. Our health...our choice. 😎Be well!
The most telling comment I heard when I suggested to someone to switch to a WFPB diet was "You want me to give up living?" This person was obese. I got the insight that this person (and many others like this person) sees eating as "living" and the rest of life is just waddling around waiting until it's time to eat again. These people need to see the rest of life as living and see eating as just a short period to get peak nutrition so that we can feel great in our active lives.
I've only just begun my WFPB journey and I love the food and I look forward to my meals. If only we could somehow convince people that WFPB is a fun way to eat. Plus, it encourages creativity and trying of new things. It's pretty awesome.

Great interview! I love the discussion of physicians being influenced by seeing results in their patients (anecdotal) while not being influenced by all of the studies/trials. It's so disheartening sometimes to know people personally who have health issues but simply won't make changes that could help them -- or even worse, they'll make dubious changes that just happen to reinforce their junk-food preferences (e.g. butter in coffee) but will regard a plant-based diet as way too radical, too restrictive, too extreme. Like slopping butter in your coffee is not extreme?? And then you hear "well, I just love my cheeseburgers too much to give them up" from someone who's obese, with type-2 diabetes & other kinds of health problems, and will be lucky to survive to the age of 50. Habit, comfort and familiarity are such incredibly powerful forces.
I am seriously developing a big crush on this guy. Those doctors are amazing humans doing an extraordinary work on changing people's beliefs on food. Big turn on! 💚💚💚
I love the passion he has for what he is doing. I love it that he keeps it simple. It’s awesome to hear this from someone who has a medical background.
Retired drinking kale smoothies on the beach . lol . Dr Michael Greger is saving so many lives and serious illness with priceless information . Thank you .
I like what he said at 26 min. I have migraines and going vegan did not help, but it fixed my acid reflux, itchy skin, joint pain, insomnia, and chronic cough. so I handle the migraines better and the side effects from my meds are not as severe. Thanks.
Lorna Doell, I suffered from migraines for a brief time. Found a study comparing sumatriptan to ginger. It said ginger worked just as well without the side effects. I gave it a try. After suffering with a constant migraine for a month or ugly side effects from the drugs, the ginger knocked out the migraine within an hour. It was magic! If you haven’t tried ginger, I encourage you to do so. Good luck!
This sounds crazy, but watch your intake of seaweed. All forms of it, as it can be a hidden ingredient under a different name. It all started when I found these lovely roasted seaweed treats at Costco. I adore them..but noticed I would get a ridiculously painful headache after eating them. I stopped, and had been searching out the reason as to why it would cause headaches? Any form of seaweed guarantees me a bad, off the chain headache! Well, while eating something the other day, I told my son I don't think we should eat the product anymore because it has MSG in it, and it gives me headaches. He informed me that MSG was basically made from seaweed so it isn't as bad as everyone thinks. Seaweed! The connection was clear as to why I was suffering from headaches from the actual roasted product. Just wanted to share as a fellow headache sufferer.
Lorna Doell - have you tried corrective chiropractic? Adjustments may be needed in pelvic or neck areas of spine to correct nervous system - got rid of my migraines. Also eating plant-based, which has helped with other things but, for me, the migraines persisted until I got adjusted.
Excellent Video ranks number 2 right next to my hero Gary Yourofsky's Best Speech Ever which made me go Vegan, that day, five years ago. Be Vegan Strong! Bravo Dr. Greger and Plant Based News! Bravo!!!
Great interview again, Klaus! I love Dr. Greger's work and I especially love when he gets all incredulous and animated, hahaha! Also: crowdfunding science is a great idea :O
Some doctors did go into medicine to make money unfortunately. Many parents also force their children into medical school because it's a "good paying job". Although there are a lot of doctors who do truly want to help but were just misinformed.
Crowdfunding research on dietary intervention on diseases is a GREAT idea! People who donate to chronic disease foundations and many others would most likely be willing to chip in. (Dr. Michael Greger talks about it around the 23:30 minute mark)
I became a vegan after reading The China Study - I follow Dr Greger to remind me why I did this. No hypertension now, feeling great, fat is melting off me. This all makes perfect sense. Evidence based living.
this is exactly the wise men approach of dealing with this huge misery we are in. Let the truth come forth on its own accord, setting yourself and your ego and desires aside, and the only thing that is left is tremendous clarity and out of that just one desire, to diminish suffering, to honor truth. He is not only invulnurable to bribery but also invulnurable to the thousand lies that have been spread wide across the mainstream consciousness. It´s still a long road to go but thats the way it can be done. thumbs up, Dr. Greger
Dougy doug I so agree with you! He said that people love good news about their bad habits! Lol. There is an old saying about "taking the horse to water, but can't make them drink" for a reason. I quite trying and just do me. Less stress and criticism in my life is best!
Well, People who read the word Vegan are considered " Told" on judgement day. They gave us internet to find out what to do. GO VEGAN. It always was a vegan world and it's going back to one. The Shift. You do not want to be held back on prison planet that will get yearly worst and worst and risk being incarnated as a slaughterhouse animal over and over again. You don't know for sure that can not happen!!! What if it does because you were told??? Don't risk it, go Vegan and help the ones you love.
I can't agree with Dr. Greger and the system not being corrupt. I would consider designing studies to get a certain result and spreading misinformation to be corrupt. Especially when people's lives are on the line.
Alekai I think he plays it safe by saying that incentives are there that cause that action. Not corrupt if the system doesn't allow it and they did it anyway.
No, he's spot on. Corporations exist for one purpose only: to make a profit. That's not corrupt. It's exactly how it is supposed to work. If people stop buying garbage, the profit motive goes away. If you have skin cancer, you shouldn't go to the beach and work on your tan, but you can't conclude that the sun and cruise ships and the tourism industry are corrupt. They are just doing what they do.
True, but he mentioned those specifically (meat and eggs). Generally though he's saying here that in the majority it's the design of the system itself, the people are not twirling their mustaches. Change the shopping and habits to WFPB and then that system has to adjust or fail
I understand that argument and agree with it for the most part. But to continue your analogy, it would be like cruise ships, tourism industry, and tanning bed companies all lying about the danger of long term light exposure and affirming people that it wont give you skin cancer, just to protect their pockets and deny public health safety. The problem is that the government is allowing these corporations to put profit over people's health, when it's supposed to be the government's job to serve and protect the people and not the corporations. There's nothing wrong with a business selling a product, obviously they want to be successful and gain profit. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. But lying about your product and spreading misinformation and confusion is an immoral and corrupt business practice, which is also against the law. It's why tobacco companies can no longer advertise their products. And the reason big pharma and all the food industries are getting away with it is because they have bought and bribed the government to join their side. It is corrupt.
Does anyone know how to nominate dr. Greger for a Nobel Peace prize? He has done more than any pharmacy, doctor, hospital to educate the masses about how to eat healthily.
I'm going to have to ask my DR" So Uhh doc yeah umm when was the last time you were taken out for dinner by Big Broccoli? Huh? What? ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!!!!"
Thank god.. Dr Greger, the voice of truth and reason in an extremely confused and corrupt society. I wish RUclips had a 'love' button. This message should be hailed from the rooftops. McDonald's funding medical training? We're headed full tilt into an Orwellian nightmare. PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO.
Doctor Greger hesitates to confirm the notion of corruption, however increasing profit for stockholders causes corporations to stoop to the lowest levels imaginable for more money. MONEY corrupts.
He really is sent from above, cannot believe how easily he explained it all and made a point to all of us....make sure sources are cited! I learned that in English 101, by 102 I was a master lmao!! Logical explanations but the proof is in the food itself. You want more natural energy, regular bowel movements, healthier moods? For the love of being healthier...eat food in that natural state! Our country has been decieving🤔to us and we were raised to be conditioned to eating foods lacking in nutritional value😠😠😠. I love listening to him speak and truly appreciate how comprehensive, covers it all!! Thank you Dr. Gregor and host!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
People can’t/wont see the truth because it would fracture the reality the system has built for us all. Food is very important to humans. And to hear that the food they grew up on not only wasn’t healthy but slowly killing them. Yea it’s too much for skit of people
Dr Gregor is a truly a great man. We have to take responsibility for ourselves but he gives us so much real scientific information to help us. He speaks the truth
Dr. Greger, you hit the nail on the head when you say that maximizing profits is how the system works, but it's not just the medical and other related industries. What you are describing is the market logic of our entire economy. It would be a tremendous idea if you talked about this fundamental flaw with more emphasis. If we start recognizing the absurdity of this monetary market model, and implementing ways to get away from it, you'll stop seeing so much power in industry. You'll see virtually no skewed science. You'll see more vegans, you'll see more healthy people. You'll see less sick people dying not just from the leading single causes of death, but poverty and structural violence in general. Klaus, thank you for putting that bit in the beginning.
That's what I'm thinking. It's the only part I disagree with. I'm thinking he's careful calling it "corruption" to avoid putting a target on those people's backs and to get attacks from them. Otherwise, amazing interview.
It's his personality type. He's not interested in beating an emotional drum, creating a victim/villian/savior drama, or casting blame to garner support for his ideas. He's a good example of letting the facts speak for themselves... that things are bad enough without adding drama. 😂 Wish there were more like him. 🌱
I really don't buy that they just don't know or that they are ignorant to the benefits of a whole food plant based diet. They are simply just like many patients who choose a good meal over their health continually. Oh...and the money selling those prescriptions don't hurt. If you're smart enough to get through medical school, you're smart enough to look into something as important as a whole food plant based diet's benefits. It's foolish to think that they've never heard of it.
Incredible how the guy who is speaking truth to power has a way of speaking that sounds INCREDIBLY earnest. He could not sound any more endearing and sincere, and that he backs up everything he says with scientific studies is so great. .
Get it Dr. Greger!! I love your passion in this interview. Enormous thanks for the work you do. You’re changing the face of healthcare; empowering the individual with invaluable information.
Passionate but not hostile. Dr. Greger seems to welcome being challenged and his responses are on point. I can binge on his videos all day. Thank you Dr. G.
I'm already on board. My first time hearing Dr. Greger speak though.He is a powerful force for change. So impassioned. Thank you for this video. Im sharing with my family.
I told my family about the processed meats causing cancer and they kept eating processed meats pretty much everyday, several times a day. People don't care. It's very frustrating :(
I had a conversation about it with colleagues who are literally health care professionals and they were all "who cares, it's all genetic anyway...." uhhhh, none of them smoke, they know smoking is bad... but eating 5 hot dogs on white bread buns at a birthday party is okay? hmmm

You must live for yourself. Live well, be happy and active, be the change you want to see in the world.
People do change, but they don't share your timeline, be patient and a good example.
@Sandra, you know why they don't care? Because they are addicted to the convenience and taste sensation.
That is how it is, until they get diagnosed with a degenerate disease. When Death comes knocking on there door, then they realize how bad is the western diet, and how serious and important this whole dietary lifestyle. Of course we still have people who still don't really care, and think that because they only live once then might as well live it up by eating whatever they like, and living which ever way they enjoy.

completely agree. i think it's because he talks about how this is extraodinary because people are hungry for the information - nothing to do with his brilliant when he was saying that
He sounds surprised, if anything,
He also makes no money from his book. It all goes to charity. What a guy!
Plus he donates the proceeds.
Serena
Dr Greger is the man, so intelligent, so logical.
Thanks for a great interview Klaus.
Brenda Aspey if everyone thought through their daily activities, we’d all be Gregers
Best quote of the whole interview: "These are lifestyle diseases, and the treatment is lifestyle behavioral changes."
Yes, I thought the same thing!
Agreed. It all starts in the MIND!!!!!
How can Dr. Greger stand to be off the treadmill for this long? :-)
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one wondering...! Such an inspiration.
LOVE HIM! -but I don't mind watching him while stationary...lol....less guilt on my part ...
He has said that he averages about 17 miles/day on the treadmill.
Duh, because this interview took place at a conference and not at home ;)
I almost didn't recognize him without the treadmill ;)
He is such a rock star. I went vegan because of him
ME TOOOOOOO!!!!!!!❤️🍏🥑🍓🍆🥜🥒🌶
As we know, vegan dicks taste better ;)
Me too!
I think that's very admirable. For me it was Dr. Esselstyn and I saw his video by accident, after being Paleo for three years. Not looking back! Oh yeah tell the guy below. Vegans Do It Better!
Yeah, he is life changing
I agree with Dr. Greger's crowd funding idea. A study funded by people and not cooperations, companies or money profiting organisations would be fantastic. And I'm sure it's duable. Just spread the word!
in practical terms, its not a bad idea.
in fundamental terms, however, I truly hate that its necessary. our TAXES are supposed to be the real crowd funding for studies.
gridcaster honestly but if we want to save people’s lives it’s what we have to do
This guy deserves a nobel prize or something...bigger
Damn... Dr Gregor is such a passionate man about this aspect.
He does nothing but speak truth.
Preach my brother! Preach!
I love Dr. Greger and could listen to his logic all day long! So brilliant, bursting with energy and passionate. He is my new super hero :)
The times are changing. Time to bring down the meat and dairy industry. Pharmaceutical companies will go down as well. Revolt!
As long as phytochemicals target cancer stem cells - I am continuing with my daily eating of a kale, avocado, red onion, splash of Braggs apple cider vineagar and turmeric w/cracked black-peppercorn salads.

God I love this man! He is giving so so much. I really hope it explodes into the mainstream consciousness. Thanks for the great interview Klaus. :-)
You know if it does ,the human race will disappear , animals were given for us to eat , balance would be gone , you must look further into this ,
Love this guy! I’ve lost 20 lbs since going Plant based, no more chest pains
This guy is so smart it's unbelievable.
I love this guy! He's so animated and engaging.
Word!
#passion
I can listen to Dr. Greger for hours....I'm studying to be a Holistic Nutritionist because of him.
On July 4, 2017, my husband and I went full plant-based. Had a physical and cholesterol check at ARC in Austin, Tx on June 30,2017; had a total cholesterol of 226!

And all your hormones went down too included testosterone.
That is great news and a boost for your health!
Wonderful!!
What a guy, what an existence he has. His life must be insanely busy but also very invigorating. So much passion.
Dr. Greger is so dreamy!!
Thank you so much for watching...
This interview was the highlight of my whole week!! Excellent work.
moohamheadpissbeuponhim lol😂😂😂😂
All vegan men are dreamy..ahhh..sigh
Big Broccoli is comin' for ya.
fцику мцику I'll need a big fork 🍽
Scary! Bring it on!
Bahahah love it !
Excellent as usual. One of my favourite doctors. I love the bit where he says he'll retire to a desert island and drink kale juice when the whole world knows the truth!
he may be able to do that even before the whole world knows, just a wealthy subset. anyway he brings tremendous value
I'll go with him.
God I have a serious crush on the Dr. He may be twice my age but there's something so attractive about knowledge and the passion to share it.
Tara Lown same and i’m 16 lol
Me too and I’m a lesbian 🤣
I love his conviction and feisty knowledge! He is definitely is one of my cornerstones to becoming a vegan!!!
"ITS HARD TO CHERRY PICK WHEN THERES ONE CHERRY" 😂😂😂😂
well YES
And the cherry is that all the studies he brings up are tainted junk science.
I absolutely agree with him regarding what Dietitians are taught. I'm saying that as a dietitian that works in long term care facilities.
Thanks for your wisdom and honesty. The first solid meal my father was given in the hospital after having his esophagus removed was chicken nuggets and tater tots. I was livid. Then in 2001, after being treated for breast cancer, I went to a seminar in the treatment center and a lovely but ill informed dietician recommended we use conventional margarine.

💚💚💚 I love him💚💚💚
Thank you so much for your support. It means a lot to the team! We really appreciate it!
PLANT BASED NEWS Thank you for continuing to smash out first class content! 👌🏻🤘🏻💚🔥
I would love to support crowd-funding for this research. Great idea by Dr. Greger.
Crowd funded studies is the way studies should be done. Completely without bias when funded by everyone.
Why aren't there surgeon general cancer warnings on processed meat packaging?
Go Mo because theres a certain act passed by the meat industry called the “common sense act” that states they don’t need to disclose that kind of information because it should already be common sense to the public. Sad but true.
@@Godlyseitan Not true. No such act was passed.
Because people would stop eating it
And notice that the parents didn't step in to correct or change that ruling...even if on record [which would be a document as proof of non-agreement]
Huge fan of Dr.Greger and his work!
Daddy Gregor has done so much for veganism. Get that man a medal.
Holy guacamole Dr. Greger is on fire!! The passion throughout was beyond next-level and that ending hot damn!🔥
I love Dr. Gregor, he is so entertaining and funny. He must have Scottish ancestry because he talks so fast. And that's coming from a Scottish person :-D Oh! and that crowd funding idea was brilliant - I'd chip-in!
this information is absolutely critical now, with millions of baby boomers in their 60's , more & more facing serious health issues
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!! Thank you PBN!
Amazing! In the end the patients are going to educate the doctors!!!!
I'm glued to my computer. Dr Greger is the best doctor in the solar system.
Lol I knew he would mention broccoli :D
I just finished How Not To Die and it is the best book I have read on the topic of health, disease and nutrition. Raised vegetarian (Adventist) I ate a ton of dairy and sugar as a kid. Then I tried the Pritikin plan when my kids were little and we loved the freedom from illness etc. But I got caught up in the trends: primarily wild salmon, olive oil, coconut oil, eggs etc. I've been fully WFPB for two years now, but this book really upped my knowledge, commitment and eating enjoyment!

Love, love, love Dr. Gregor!!!! He absolutely sparkles and is so convincing. Thank you for the interview!
I would disagree about "corruption." Once the curtain is pulled back and we know what is bad for our health yet people in power still push bad food and drugs, or look the other way, then they are corrupt.
They are 🐍 s.
agreed, they dont want us living long healthy and smart, its more than corruption, its pure evil
I think Dr Gregers legacy is a career of study putting the evidence-based facts out there for all to learn, so each person can decide for themselves. We should expect all our physicians to do the research & advise us accordingly. Our health...our choice. 😎Be well!
all thanks to dr greger for transforming me & my family into a healthy vegans

Habit, comfort and familiarity are such incredibly powerful forces.
I love how passionate he is about nutrition!!!
"It's not the broccoli that makes profit, it's the Twinkie that stays on the shelves for years."
This is gold.
I am seriously developing a big crush on this guy. Those doctors are amazing humans doing an extraordinary work on changing people's beliefs on food. Big turn on!
💚💚💚
Love him so much!!! Great interview x
Best, smartest , bravest, clearest most honest Doctor on the planet.
I love to listen to Dr. Greger’s interviews! Intelligent guy. Wish more people would listen to his good health information.
I've got $10 on that breast cancer study
I love the passion he has for what he is doing. I love it that he keeps it simple. It’s awesome to hear this from someone who has a medical background.
As always Dr Greger never fails to get your attention. well done PBN!
Retired drinking kale smoothies on the beach . lol . Dr Michael Greger is saving so many lives and serious illness with priceless information . Thank you .
Dr Greggor throwing down the truth bombs!
yeah, like a machine gun
I like what he said at 26 min. I have migraines and going vegan did not help, but it fixed my acid reflux, itchy skin, joint pain, insomnia, and chronic cough. so I handle the migraines better and the side effects from my meds are not as severe. Thanks.
Lorna Doell, I suffered from migraines for a brief time. Found a study comparing sumatriptan to ginger. It said ginger worked just as well without the side effects. I gave it a try. After suffering with a constant migraine for a month or ugly side effects from the drugs, the ginger knocked out the migraine within an hour. It was magic! If you haven’t tried ginger, I encourage you to do so. Good luck!
This sounds crazy, but watch your intake of seaweed. All forms of it, as it can be a hidden ingredient under a different name. It all started when I found these lovely roasted seaweed treats at Costco. I adore them..but noticed I would get a ridiculously painful headache after eating them. I stopped, and had been searching out the reason as to why it would cause headaches? Any form of seaweed guarantees me a bad, off the chain headache! Well, while eating something the other day, I told my son I don't think we should eat the product anymore because it has MSG in it, and it gives me headaches. He informed me that MSG was basically made from seaweed so it isn't as bad as everyone thinks. Seaweed! The connection was clear as to why I was suffering from headaches from the actual roasted product. Just wanted to share as a fellow headache sufferer.
Lorna Doell - have you tried corrective chiropractic? Adjustments may be needed in pelvic or neck areas of spine to correct nervous system - got rid of my migraines. Also eating plant-based, which has helped with other things but, for me, the migraines persisted until I got adjusted.
Parasites on brain. Get on a top notch parasite cleanse and get with a healer to cleanse and detox correctly.
Dawn Kaluzny Yes very good. And cleanse out the animal products still stuck inside. Parasites too
I've never actually had a doctor tell me I was "drug deficient," but yeah: most doctors you go to are going to write you a scrip.
Excellent Video ranks number 2 right next to my hero Gary Yourofsky's Best Speech Ever which made me go Vegan, that day, five years ago. Be Vegan Strong! Bravo Dr. Greger and Plant Based News! Bravo!!!
Rj Aquaponics Dr Garth Davis too
Same!
I love Dr. Greger. Great video!
Thank you so much for the honesty and clarity. There is so much misinformation and shocking lies being fed to people.
Great interview again, Klaus! I love Dr. Greger's work and I especially love when he gets all incredulous and animated, hahaha! Also: crowdfunding science is a great idea :O
Some doctors did go into medicine to make money unfortunately. Many parents also force their children into medical school because it's a "good paying job". Although there are a lot of doctors who do truly want to help but were just misinformed.
Crowdfunding research on dietary intervention on diseases is a GREAT idea! People who donate to chronic disease foundations and many others would most likely be willing to chip in.
(Dr. Michael Greger talks about it around the 23:30 minute mark)
I became a vegan after reading The China Study - I follow Dr Greger to remind me why I did this. No hypertension now, feeling great, fat is melting off me. This all makes perfect sense. Evidence based living.
Me too.
this is exactly the wise men approach of dealing with this huge misery we are in. Let the truth come forth on its own accord, setting yourself and your ego and desires aside, and the only thing that is left is tremendous clarity and out of that just one desire, to diminish suffering, to honor truth. He is not only invulnurable to bribery but also invulnurable to the thousand lies that have been spread wide across the mainstream consciousness. It´s still a long road to go but thats the way it can be done. thumbs up, Dr. Greger
The problem is not that people not only know the truth, they don't WANT the truth and are often not READY to accept the truth.
Dougy doug I so agree with you! He said that people love good news about their bad habits! Lol. There is an old saying about "taking the horse to water, but can't make them drink" for a reason. I quite trying and just do me. Less stress and criticism in my life is best!
Well, People who read the word Vegan are considered " Told" on judgement day. They gave us internet to find out what to do. GO VEGAN.
It always was a vegan world and it's going back to one.
The Shift.
You do not want to be held back on prison planet that will get yearly worst and worst and risk being incarnated as a slaughterhouse animal over and over again. You don't know for sure that can not happen!!! What if it does because you were told???
Don't risk it, go Vegan and help the ones you love.
I can't agree with Dr. Greger and the system not being corrupt. I would consider designing studies to get a certain result and spreading misinformation to be corrupt. Especially when people's lives are on the line.
Alekai I think he plays it safe by saying that incentives are there that cause that action. Not corrupt if the system doesn't allow it and they did it anyway.
No, he's spot on. Corporations exist for one purpose only: to make a profit. That's not corrupt. It's exactly how it is supposed to work. If people stop buying garbage, the profit motive goes away. If you have skin cancer, you shouldn't go to the beach and work on your tan, but you can't conclude that the sun and cruise ships and the tourism industry are corrupt. They are just doing what they do.
True, but he mentioned those specifically (meat and eggs). Generally though he's saying here that in the majority it's the design of the system itself, the people are not twirling their mustaches. Change the shopping and habits to WFPB and then that system has to adjust or fail
I understand that argument and agree with it for the most part. But to continue your analogy, it would be like cruise ships, tourism industry, and tanning bed companies all lying about the danger of long term light exposure and affirming people that it wont give you skin cancer, just to protect their pockets and deny public health safety. The problem is that the government is allowing these corporations to put profit over people's health, when it's supposed to be the government's job to serve and protect the people and not the corporations. There's nothing wrong with a business selling a product, obviously they want to be successful and gain profit. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. But lying about your product and spreading misinformation and confusion is an immoral and corrupt business practice, which is also against the law. It's why tobacco companies can no longer advertise their products. And the reason big pharma and all the food industries are getting away with it is because they have bought and bribed the government to join their side. It is corrupt.
Alekai Well Said!!!!!!
Dr. Greger has done much good for animals and people. He will alway be number in my book.
"It's hard to cherry pick when there's only one cherry"
words to live by X'D
Does anyone know how to nominate dr. Greger for a Nobel Peace prize? He has done more than any pharmacy, doctor, hospital to educate the masses about how to eat healthily.
I'm going to have to ask my DR" So Uhh doc yeah umm when was the last time you were taken out for dinner by Big Broccoli? Huh? What? ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!!!!"
Dr. Gregor is a true hero. I loved this interview. You could really see how passionate he is about his work/life mission.
Thank god.. Dr Greger, the voice of truth and reason in an extremely confused and corrupt society. I wish RUclips had a 'love' button. This message should be hailed from the rooftops. McDonald's funding medical training? We're headed full tilt into an Orwellian nightmare. PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO.
Doctor Greger hesitates to confirm the notion of corruption, however increasing profit for stockholders causes corporations to stoop to the lowest levels imaginable for more money. MONEY corrupts.
He really is sent from above, cannot believe how easily he explained it all and made a point to all of us....make sure sources are cited! I learned that in English 101, by 102 I was a master lmao!! Logical explanations but the proof is in the food itself. You want more natural energy, regular bowel movements, healthier moods? For the love of being healthier...eat food in that natural state! Our country has been decieving🤔to us and we were raised to be conditioned to eating foods lacking in nutritional value😠😠😠. I love listening to him speak and truly appreciate how comprehensive, covers it all!! Thank you Dr. Gregor and host!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
People can’t/wont see the truth because it would fracture the reality the system has built for us all. Food is very important to humans. And to hear that the food they grew up on not only wasn’t healthy but slowly killing them. Yea it’s too much for skit of people
Dr Gregor is a truly a great man. We have to take responsibility for ourselves but he gives us so much real scientific information to help us. He speaks the truth
Dr. Greger, you hit the nail on the head when you say that maximizing profits is how the system works, but it's not just the medical and other related industries. What you are describing is the market logic of our entire economy. It would be a tremendous idea if you talked about this fundamental flaw with more emphasis. If we start recognizing the absurdity of this monetary market model, and implementing ways to get away from it, you'll stop seeing so much power in industry. You'll see virtually no skewed science. You'll see more vegans, you'll see more healthy people. You'll see less sick people dying not just from the leading single causes of death, but poverty and structural violence in general.
Klaus, thank you for putting that bit in the beginning.
Could it be that he avoids calling it corruption to avoid being sued by some corp.?
That's what I'm thinking. It's the only part I disagree with. I'm thinking he's careful calling it "corruption" to avoid putting a target on those people's backs and to get attacks from them. Otherwise, amazing interview.
It's his personality type. He's not interested in beating an emotional drum, creating a victim/villian/savior drama, or casting blame to garner support for his ideas. He's a good example of letting the facts speak for themselves... that things are bad enough without adding drama. 😂 Wish there were more like him. 🌱
12:47 "These are not drug - deficiency diseases." hahaha love it!
I really don't buy that they just don't know or that they are ignorant to the benefits of a whole food plant based diet. They are simply just like many patients who choose a good meal over their health continually. Oh...and the money selling those prescriptions don't hurt. If you're smart enough to get through medical school, you're smart enough to look into something as important as a whole food plant based diet's benefits. It's foolish to think that they've never heard of it.
It’s flawed, not corrupt! Driven by profit and greed.
Incredible how the guy who is speaking truth to power has a way of speaking that sounds INCREDIBLY earnest. He could not sound any more endearing and sincere, and that he backs up everything he says with scientific studies is so great. .
Dr. Greger is the absolute best!!! A true, world hero, if only the world would listen.....
Dr. Greger, you ROCK! Crowd-funding to show plant-based diets help, even heal disease. Let's get it going!
Where is this desert island beach with kale smoothies and Dr. Greger?! 🤔😆 Buying my one way tickets
We have the science!! His enthusiasm is absolute infectious!
Definitely my favorite plant based doctor. Barnard #2.
My #2 is Dr Klaper but I love Dr Bernard, too!
Get it Dr. Greger!! I love your passion in this interview. Enormous thanks for the work you do. You’re changing the face of healthcare; empowering the individual with invaluable information.
Passionate but not hostile. Dr. Greger seems to welcome being challenged and his responses are on point. I can binge on his videos all day. Thank you Dr. G.
love his suggestion about crowd funding studies!
"The mainstream don't know", I so agree. Especially among the lower SES, at-risk groups
Doc Greg is so entertaining 😘
Love the book 📚 How not to die
I'm already on board. My first time hearing Dr. Greger speak though.He is a powerful force for change. So impassioned. Thank you for this video. Im sharing with my family.
I like how the guy can ask like 3 questions and then Dr. Greger can talk for an hour. What an easy interview!
