😳 I will make this video compulsory for my therapists to watch.. and I will be expecting a 3000 word reflection on the topic
I really enjoyed talk. I enjoyed your descriptions of the bizarre medical treatments and the humor. Hope is such an important thing that people need to hold on to after they have been given a diagnosis that isn't what they were expecting. I honestly believe hope does help people stay strong.
False hope and magical thinking are dangerous practices.
I'm watching this video and an ad pops up and says "5 best herbs to cure dementia".
Ironic much?

Sadly this video has way less interaction than the one who talks about sugar and cancer.
So you think sugar is safe? Creating inflammation is safe?
All disease is related to inflammation.
My dad neighbor got diagnosed with a very aggressive colon cancer the doctors said and he needed to do chemo immediately so after the first round of chemo he was vomiting felt awful and said forget it im done with chemo what ever happens happens too me,,,, that was 25 years ago and he still up and about today doing his thing,,, side note as long as the doctors prescribe Oxycontin’s for people with pain were they get addicted and many over dose and die ,, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE QUACKERY
i am a doctor of quackery thus canada does not acknowledge me
Well good 😂
Nice try satan
Tapeworms and especially Leeches are still used successfully today so what's your point?
Successfully really?
@@tantiwahopak101 Don't know about ta;eworms but I think leeches are still used in some plastic and micro surgery as they secrete anticoagulants.
Chinese medicine is all about quackery.I wonder she failed to mention that obvious example.
