What about the anesthesia used for a colonoscopy, can that also cause brain damage?
No.
The sort = when intubated & under general anesthesia.
@@DoctorBoz you can be under a general anesthetic and still only receive propofol. Again, doc….you are misleading people on this topic more than you even realize.
that's called sedation and is different from general aneshesia, and much safer for brain cells
@@dddhhh2612 most colonoscopies are performed under a general anesthetic, tho most people call it sedation.
@@DoctorBoz deleting comments that disagree with your statements? Why?
Consider this a badge of honor for telling the truth and standing up to Big Pharma "healthcare" lies. Thank you.
Not “healthcare”, in this country we have “sick care” .
@@mcdade7489 Yes, yes! That's an even better description. Stay informed and keep questioning everything.
Facts!!!
As much as I love Dr. Boz, while her comments are well meaning….the only badge she should be wearing on this one is a shame badge. I do understand and agree that there are Big Pharma agendas….but you have to know….theres no „big Pharma“ in most of anesthesia….the drugs we use a decades old, minus a few here and there. Her comments on blood flow to the brain….they are just false. False in every way…and it hurts me to say this…because i love dr Boz‘s content.
Greed is a medical industry pattern. I remember when the pathologists discovered the cause of stomach ulcers and the cure (a regimen of the right antibiotics). Sadly doctors reacted unkindly denigrating the pathologists’ reputation and rejecting the obvious easy safe cure for stomach ulcers … because stomach ulcer patients were their perineal cash cows. It took ten years before the doctors caved. The doctors profession told the pathologists they weren’t even doctors and to stay in their lane. It was blatant how those doctors preferred their patients suffer forever and continue regular doctor appointments instead of healing them.
I am 71 and suffer from chronic pain from a spinal injury in 2013. After multiple surgeries, prescribed opioids for three years, and too many cortisone injections to count, i finally went to my doctor and said, “I don’t want drugs, no more surgery or injections and no more opioids, what can you do for me?” He looked at me as if I had lost my mind and had no answer, zero, zilch. I concluded, “He got nothing”. That’s when I stopped all pains meds and started my own journey of looking at every natural method I could find. I now meditate, do pilates and yoga, and changed my diet completely. Do I have pain? Yes but I have found other ways to manage it. I no longer use a wheelchair, nor walker and after 11 years can walk on the beach and hike my favorite woods. I also follow wim hof and use his ice and breathing techniques. Sometimes you just have to take back control and find the resources within instead of without. 🙏💕
So inspiring, good luck to you 😊
Bless you! Well done taking your health into your own hands. Very inspiring. Keep on keeping on…
Total respect to you!
I need back surgery and I won’t do it. I’m with you. I’m trying everything I can to do it the healthy way. All the doctors can do is give pills or surgery. I spend a lot of days in bed.
Get therapeutic massage for pain. It saved my life..
This isn't disclosed because elective surgeries are a cash cow. In his response to you he slammed your audience as unsophisticated. I guarantee he has that same attitude towards his patients. He doesn't care...keep the money coming in for him and his pal docs
No one cares. I have zero respect for most Doctors. It is them who are uneducated. I would much rather have a Dr who has an open mind and knows about nutrition and herbs rather than the narrow minded Big PHARMA.
Seriously. He has no clue how many of us even have a medical background. What an arrogant git!!
You nailed it. She told the truth and it endangers his income stream.
exactly, it's a cash cow run by foxes guarding hen houses
That he agrees with Dr. Boz that dry fasting is nonsense makes me think Dr. Berg is probably correct.
I absolutely concur, my patients post op, especially the elders are cognitively impaired for weeks, sometimes months after surgery.
Wow, thanks for sharing
Yup. Seen this too many times as well.
Thank you
Neuropsychiatrist here. Spinal anesthesia and light sedation should be the norm in any surgery where it is feasible, especially 60+. Had two knee replacements a year apart and had to demand epidurals, got both after a bit of a fight. By the way, did great!
These people get a little amped up when you cut into their profits. This is immoral. At least inform patients beforehand of the risks to the brain and let them decide, instead of deciding for them.
Anesthesiologists are probably the greediest doctors going. If at all possible, anesthesiologists used to set up a separate corporation in a hospital to provide patients with their services. Services which they would declare "out of network" so the patient could get hammered with a higher co-pay which went into the anesthesiologists' pocket.
@@JudgeCrater22 yep same happened during my surgery. The out of network anaesthesiologist got paid more than the in network surgeon.
Prophet $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Most of us a salaried. I don‘t think you understand how profits work for most anesthesiologists. The hospitals are the ones make the HUGE profits.
@@DCTexas22 no doubt! My comment wasn’t specifically aimed towards anesthesiologists.
Dr. Boz is 100% accurate. Sounds like this anesthesiologist needs to review post surgical functional MRIs. After four decades in radiology, I have seen a fair amount of post-surgical chemical imbalance caused by anesthesia. Therefore, it sounds like this anesthesiologist needs to review functional MRIs after surgery. Dr. Boz's opinion is deemed completely accurate.
Many thanks for calling out the anesthesiologists ‘unsophisticated nonsense’! Commendable comments! :)
Ok then do surgery without administering anaesthesia simple
Most people don't realize a VERY important logistical aspect of this conundrum. By the time anesthesia providers talk to patients, that patient has already made 99% of their decisions - including optimizing their health, scheduling time off work, considering how bad they need surgery, etc.! It's just not 'practical' for the anesthesia provider to THEN tell patients they are about to 'kill brain cells'. Also, there are anesthetic techniques that decrease the risk of cognitive disruption - using spinal over general, using preoperative nerve blocks to avoid general or less of it, using more propofol instead of gas, etc.. And these conversations are VERY appropriate the day of surgery - often when the patient first gets to talk to the anesthesia provider!
In the letter, it was stated that the author was an anesthetist. That is not the same as an anesthesiologist. I’m surprised that Dr. Box didn’t note that. I have a friend who is an anesthesiologist (an MD) and one who is an anesthetist (a nurse).
@@JT_70 You are correct, but that does not change any of the facts or arguments.
My grandmother developed dementia pretty much immediately after gall bladder surgery in the 1980's. She was never the same after that. It was very clear something happened during the surgery, but there was no mention of it.
Yes, happened to my dentist's mother. She ran the office before her surgery, but afterwards she had dementia.
I worked with an 80 yr old who was never the same after knee surgery. Couldn’t log into computer, remember basic instructions. At 68, have had two surgeries and scared of needing more. I do think it gets worse as you age.
Same happened to my grandmother.
The same thing happened to my mom when she underwent surgery at age 86. She has never recovered and can no longer live alone because of dementia which started after surgery. She is progressively getting worse, I'm so sad to say.
Elderly father developed dementia after 3rd joint surgery and died within the year. I believe orthopaedic surgeon knew of this risk and didn’t mention it.
Never once have I been warned or given informed consent about dangers of anesthesia. Thanks for this information.
I think it’s always covered in the consent documents that must be signed before surgery. I DON’T think the dangers Dr Boz has covered are included in the details of those consents, probably just the generalizations. and those consents don’t specify the differences in after effects an aged or otherwise already ill person can experience. They mostly cover the immediate risks during general anaesthesia, not the outcome risks further down the road.
Any general anesthesia needs your signature.
I only received it once for impacted wisdom teeth extraction in my 20s.
Never ever have heard of it
Don't listen to them doc.. your right. Stand your ground. Thank you. We need more like ya.
Agree
I had so much knee pain that I wore braces on both knees daily. I also had back pain and pain in my hands and other areas of my body. Went keto and then carnivore and lost 80 pounds. The diet eliminated the inflamation and the weight loss took the strain off my knees. The result is that I've been absolutely pain free for the last 5 years and completely avoided knee surgery. The quality of my life has improved vastly.
Hi, just curious. What were you eating that caused the inflammation before you switched to keto/carnivore? And was the inflammation mainly in your knee joints? Were your hands inflamed? Thanks.
I was eating just about everything. Typical American diet with processed foods and carbs. My hands were almost as bad as my knees. All gone now! @@MaxDooDat2
@@MaxDooDat2I’m taking a pre diabetic and diabetic class, sugar can be the main problem. Our county got a grant to help and inform the community of the multi dangers pre diabetic and diabetes can suffer. I want to live a better life. Check with your county health department if the know about a program.
I'd still like to know exactly what he was eating before the weight loss and what other parts of his body were inflamed.
@@MaxDooDat2- it would be interesting to know what his diet was, but I find I don't always get my notifications of comments so who knows if you'll get an answer. I have been delving into the keto and carnivore space for years, and it seems as though there's a lot of variation in the backstory of people with great success stories. And there's variation in which carnivore foods seem to work best with individuals. and annoyingly, some people can eat garbage and feel fine. For years. But the original commenters experience is pretty common in carnivore world, especially after going full carnivore and getting rid of all the plants. And some of those people can go back to eating plants later and feel OK most of the time, and others get more of a flareup if they do that. There's a lot for us to learn about all of that.
Thank you for standing up for yourself. I was affected by medical decisions and had unnecessary procedures done in 2021/2022 for a MISDIAGNOSED condition and I’ve spent the years since recovering my health. Those doctors that made those disastrous decisions have carried on unaware of the impact they had on my life. Everything has consequences and medical professionals can be wrong. Very wrong.
And they very often are wrong. Doctors, and hospitals are, I think, the third highest cause of death behind cancer and heart disease.
Should be reported to medical boards
@@leslielucci3182 watch “Under our skin” and you’ll understand why that’s difficult. I’m on my path of healing now and don’t have the energy to fight a system at the same time.
yes, birgitta, Doctors and their interventions are considered the third highest cause of death. I remember seeing a statistic that death rates dropped dramatically, and I think it was in Israel, when some war or disaster caused hospitals to shut down for a while.
Doc Boz you are totally correct, my mother, not in good mental condition, had to have a stint put in, I was approving the procedure, they NEVER mentioned that her condition could decline after surgery. Her kidneys improved, but she only lasted a couple of weeks after the procedure. She never could walk again! She stopped talking and eating. The nurses told me, It happens all the time! 😢
My mother at 77yrs old suffered from mild dementia. She was put under for mersa infection procedure in her foot. After this her dementia was immediately much worse and she never returned to her pre surgery self. She passed at the age of 80.
Thses risk were never discussed or explained. It was only after when I saw the immediate drastic change where I researched and discovered this was not that uncommon with elderly that sufferred from dementia.
Then I had so much more trust in individuals in the medical profession. Now not so much at all for so many reasons.
Thank you so much Dr. Boz for spreading the truth, it is truly respected and much appreciated.
This are extreme claims first of all.
I now regret every surgery I had. I listened to the doctors but once I started getting healthy I wish I hadn't. We need more healers like you and less medicators who seek to fill us full of pills
I feel you. I too screwed up.
when I was very young I had multiple surgeries to save one of my eyes from being removed. So I'm not gonna put down every single surgery. But I do regret all of the others because in the interim I have discovered that I could've solved the problems that led up to those surgeries naturally, Even at the point of being told I had to have the surgery immediately, "or else." Yes, even an "emergency" appendectomy could've been avoided.
and now I understand that even gangrene could potentially be reversed without amputation. if a tumor is pressing on a large and vital blood vessel, I might see a reason for surgery but I've also witnessed the after affects of chronic pain from that sort of surgery in other people. Literally a lifetime of debilitating pain. We know so many more things about natural healing now, that it would take a lot to get me under the knife again.
as someone who has had 18 surgeries requiring anesthesia YES. There is SIGNIFICANT affects from those medications following the procedure DIRECTLY related to anesthesia. The term brain fog originally was coined for this post op situation. I tend to wake up during the procedure and often can still hear everything happening in the surgical theater. So, they use stronger anesthesia for me. And every surgery it seemd to take longer and longer for that "fog" to clear. I also know a guy who had 3 surgeries in about 6 weeks who ended up so sick from anesthesia poisoning that he could no longer drive or work. He constantly suffered from dizziness and nausea.
😢 heartbreaking to hear about your friend
My mother, brother and I have the same reactions to anesthesia as you. Awful, and hard to get rid of. I’ve since had 3 root canals without it and feel immediately good after the proceedures! That’s worth it for me.
Don’t let them bully you Doc Boz. We need more Doctors like you!! God bless
Amen to that!
The medical community really needs to hear you and get on board with not demanding to knock someone completely out when it isn't necessary. Last year, I had a cyst on my finger that needed to be removed. The orthopedic doc was explaining the procedure to me and indicated I would be put under. I balked and told him I didn't need to be put under to operate on a finger. They should be able to just deaden the finger. He agreed to do the surgery my way. A couple days before the surgery date, the surgery center called me to go over some things with me. She indicated I would be put under and I told her that I would not be put under and had already cleared that with the orthopedic doc. She said their center would not allow the procedure if I wasn't put under so I told her to just cancel the procedure because I felt that the older a person was (I was 72 at the time) the more risk there was with being put under. A few minutes later the orthopedic doc's office called me and told me that we were still on for the appointed time and with a local anesthetic. On the day of surgery, an injection was given in my hand and the procedure took about 15 minutes. Piece of cake and I didn't feel a thing except the stick of the injection. And to think they do these simple procedures all the time and put all of those patients under ... it is just appalling! I'm not going to be put under unless it is absolutely necessary.
This would not happen with non-profit universal health care. Local anasthesia is cheaper while doing the job - so naturally that is what you get.
@@franziskani I am totally against universal health care. We have the right to demand no general anesthesia. But I have seen what happens with universal health care (e.g. England and Canada) and I would do whatever it takes to not be in that situation.
@@franziskani- universal healthcare takes control away from the individual and the state gets to decide who does or doesn't get what kind of care. I am absolutely opposed to that. It's a reality that doesn't go away because eventually The money runs out and the state gets to decide who does or doesn't get seen. Who does or doesn't get surgery. That's why we have so many people from Canada coming to the United States when their condition is inconvenient and unimportant to the state. From what I can see it is helpful and convenient to the every day person who has small crises, or big crises. But it's not good for chronic issues, and yet they aren't providing helpful interventions and information to help people stay out of chronic health conditions.
I never saw your original video but what an eye opener it is to learn of the dangers of anesthesia. But then after Covid, I now question everything.
And you are sadly to say so right to intelligently question everything...its not over and old school hippocratic oath Dr's n medics have been replaced by NICE directives
I think we are if the same mind
Best wishes.
@@tadhghayden7601Could you explain NICE? Thx!
@jnooney8225 instead of the docter and indeed all medics ..using their own compassion duspassion authority to make decisions based on their knowledge and patients personal circumstances they have to refer to a manual of directions given to them by large pharma corporations...most new school doctors there is no body really home when you look into their eyes....
@@jnooney8225 National Institute for Clinical Excellence.What a laugh.
Morale of the story; Work With Your Provider to Stay Out of the Hospital!
I would say do your research and take control of your own health. Your “provider” wants you on statins and mostly otherwise doesn’t care much.
@@mellocello187yes and surgeons want to do surgery. Period.
Do you mean alternative health provider?
@@pmac1951 oh no…THE TRAP‼️ It seems to catch my husband EVERY. TIME. By the time it rolls around, he doesn’t even know which issue he’s following up for! 😂😂 I told him the follow up is for THEM, not for YOU!
@@Carnivorenursekim- Yes, people tend to have a bias toward their own specialties, just like a carpenter with a hammer is always looking for a nail.
Good for you! Keep defending your positions! I’ve been following you for 3 years and my life and health have never been better. I’m a 72 year old stroke survivor (x4). Hearing you is like putting another piece of a complex jig saw puzzle into place. My greatest impression of years of listening to you is that all the pieces fit! Just please keep it coming, in my opinion you are changing medicine, and helping many!
Agree she has great info for health and longevity….but would you let her put you to sleep?
congrats on your survival, four times is impressive! your mention of strokes reminded me of a handy gadget I have to help move my lymphatic system, a Chi machine that you put your ankles on and it wags Your feet side to side in a particular rhythm. It helps keep your blood circulating as well. Some doctor was fascinated by the way fish move, that the movements of their body helps with circulation. And one day he had the opportunity to put his theory into motion, or so the story goes, when someone was having a stroke of some kind. he grabbed the guys ankles and wagged them left and right to create that motion in his body and maintain his circulation until emergency personnel arrived to take him to the hospital. I don't know if it's true or not, but it fascinated me. it seems as though boosting circulation of blood and lymph would be an awesome adjunct therapy for anyone who has been fully or partially immobilized by a stroke. I know it makes me feel pretty good to just be on that machine. There really is a sense of warmth and interesting vibration both during and after a session, and you are supposed to just lay quietly for a few minutes after the machine stops. It's really kind of fantastic.
The Dr. that called you out gave me the chance to read this. He also motivated me to follow you more often and start to follow your recommandations more seriously. .......
We are all different and affected differently. Age, health, foods we eat, etc. Speaking of surgeries, had I known what I know now I would have kept my thyroid and my gallbladder, but like a good girl I trusted my doctors and now I’m paying for it with other health issues.
Yes. We should keep our body parts whenever possible! And it is usually a LOT more possible than your doctor knows, much less will tell you about.
This is not the only area of medicine where “informed consent” has gone out the window. It’s criminal in my view! Thank you Dr Boz, for standing up for all of us!😊
My mom developed severe dementia immediately after major surgery. She was perfectly fine before that absolutely sharp mind. She was 72. Two weeks later she passed from a major heart attack. 😢
Wow that's so sad. I'm very sorry to hear of ur loss😢
😢😢😢🙏
Surgeons are mechanics. Anaesthesiologists are drug dealers.
Physicians are shamans.
Some are mostly great, many are often good, some are often bad, few are mostly bad. But all of them are mostly ignorant about you, they know so little of you.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
RUclips is on a censorship tour of drs
We know why...
This is AMERICA! "WE the People" have FREEDOM OF SPEECH GUARANTEED BY OUR CONSTITUTION. You may not agree with what people say, but you damned well better support the RIGHT to say it. So getting criticized over an opinion, no matter how much you disagree, gives you tge right to rebuttal and YOURUBE needs to grow up, read OUR Constitution, become better educated and let everyone make up their own INFORMED mind.
This platform is owned by .... and they know exactly what they're doing.@meatdog
And alot of this censorship is unsophisticated nonsense! :)
Dude wim hof took off on instagram and youtube in mid-2019, seriously helped me in a variety of ways, and in 2020 they were literally like, y'all, dont do that, stop breathing like that, especially in groups. 😂😂😂
This has opened my eyes. My mother had several surgeries in her
late 70's. She suffered from dementia soon afterwards. Never connected
the dots until now. I have an elective colonoscopy coming up in May. I
may cancel this now at 73 years old.
Yes cancel it!
I stopped getting them. It's a gamble either way. There is the walking box, fwiw.
thank you for responding.@@ninawildr4207
thank you@@elgringoec
Cancel it!
I had damage after surgery!!!!!!!!!!!!! as a former person who worked at Nursing home I have seen people go in for surgery and come back with brain damage
Thanks, Im Md for almost 30 years said the same and people look at me as a Out of the box doctor, leave surgery for life threatening events, is the most cost /benefit
That’s what a doc told me 35 years ago. I have considered it a blessing to have that insight.
Thank you for countering ‘unsophisticated nonsense!’ :)
Thank you sir
I had heart bypass surgery almost 8 years ago and was under for about 5 hours. I am a puzzle solver, crosswords, jumbles, sudoku etc and quite good at it. However it took me almost 3 months after the surgery to be able to get my cognitive abilities back to concentrate and think clearly. I have always blamed the anesthesia. In my case though I am not complaining because the surgery took me from 10% ejection fraction to 48% and now at the age of 77 I feel great.
The medical world is depressing! Profits before best outcomes, while specified results are paid for instead of proper, detailed research. Outstanding video here Dr. Boz. No wonder people watch you by the 10 000’s!
My husband had a stroke in 1997. In the late 2019s his doctor recommended he have a colonoscopy. He agreed to it. His brain was so much less alert, he lost a lot more cognitive function that even I recognized the difference. I would not take on after that. I learned that anesthesia can produce brain damage and frankly, I need all the brain cells I have left. Blessings.
What an amazing video!! I have had so many surgeries and turned 72 this week. You make some really great points!! I have avoided several surgeries by increasing my metabolic health! I have had 5 spinal fusions and was going to be scheduled for my sixth, but when I went to my spinal surgeon he saw that I was off my walker and cane after going numb from the neck down after finally learning it was from tremendous pressure on my spinal cord from a disc in my neck. I had to have my fourth cervical fusion, which had to be put ahead of the second lumbar fusion he said I needed. Have also been told I needed a total knee replacement and a shoulder replacement. But when he saw how well I was doing after changing my diet, he saw no reason to do the lumbar fusion!! I went keto a couple of years ago, then carnivore, and lost 88 lbs, and most of my pain is gone! I am no longer type 2 diabetic, pain from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are mostly gone, anxiety and depression are gone, and I am now off 7 of my 11 long term prescriptions and reducing the remaining ones!! I was disabled at 50 and now have my life back and feel better than I have in over 20 years!! Losing weight and eliminating carbs and sugar has made a HUGE difference in my life!! So thankful that I have not had to have the other projected surgeries!! Why not avoid what we can?? God bless you for ALL you do! ❤🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏
This reminds me of when i was put under for "routine" removal of impacted wisdom teeth. They hooked me up to the IV and only then gave me the consent form to sign which I did without reading it. Then I noticed the crazy long list of risks (including, death, brain damage, facial paralysis, etc...) and asked about it. The nurses said, "Oh, it's rare but it can happen." The very last thing i remember before blacking out from the anesthesia was both nurses looking down at me and one of them saying, "Wow. He's really freaking out!"
The law is the DOCTOR must give you the ‘informed consent’, not the nurse!
So they had you sign as you were getting put out?
I had a kidney biopsy. Peed LOTS of blood immediately after. Nurse then says, "Is that normal for you?" in a nasally voice. A week later I started bleeding internally in the middle of the night. Super painful. Now for some reason, I won't consent to a kidney transplant. Better off being comfortable for the rest of my probably shorter than average life, hahah.
@@someguy5977- check out Dr. Thomas Seyfried, He is interviewed on various channels including Dr. Anthony Chaffee channel. Cancer is being reversed with a highly ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, and drugs that are a lot less toxic than chemo. And Dr. Chaffee has Been following some kidney patients who have gotten onto the carnivore diet (one version of a keto diet), And two people have gotten off of dialysis, and a third is still on dialysis but has much improved your an output following the dietary change. I would say that you have a lot more hope to live a quality life than you did before reading this information, if you choose to follow up on it.
People don’t consider the point of view of an opinion from someone they feel offended by. They stop thinking it through the moment they feel offended. So it honestly just muddles the water when people react without thinking it through all the way.
Good for you Dr Boz!
Not one doctor had the guts to tell me-just stop eating carbs. Not one. But they easily said I need more sleep, I need an antidepressant.
I’m so exhausted from trying to educate myself. I’m supposed to be getting health care. Not symptoms numbing via prescription meds.
Just my thought lately that I pay a lot for health insurance. And unless it’s a critical issue, for the most part, my insurance doesn’t even provide the kind of wellness focused care I seek. Sad really.
I’m happy more doctors are breaking free of their medical system. Not doctor should be beholden to a contract, hospital, insurance provider.
If that’s the case who’s on the patient’s side? Broken.
Great address to the anesthesiologist. I have had several surgeries.... each time I had brain problems. One time, after a spinal fusion, my spelling and writing declined. (As I would write, I would constantly misspell words, as I wrote, I would have to erase and correct as I went.) My brother had a 5 hour surgery and he said he had terrible times try to remember things.
I’m in the uk, I’ve been put under 4 times in my 54 yrs, at no point have I ever been told that being put under damages the brain the nhs is terrible, when it comes to details and our whole public medical service is not what we have been told it is, when it comes to care.
Its a risk, not a certain outcome , Its clearly explained here in Australia which has a system similar to the NHS. Its also part of the risk matrix surgical planners use to determine treatment.

Love ya Dr Boz! Keep fighting for your patients and for all of us who follow your approach to improved healthy living.
Thank you!!
Thank you for your honesty and integrity.
In 2013, I had breast cancer and I was under for 5 hours. When I woke up, I could not remember my family’s names. It took a long time to find out what my husband’s name was because my daughter kept calling him “dad”. Ugh. I had to relearn my vocabulary all over again. I thought I was literally loosing my mind. After I was healed/recovered, I took a road trip by myself from PA to Texas. I needed time to myself. I needed to feel not stupid. I guess I would repeat myself, ask the same questions, etc. I eventually just stopped speaking because I didn’t want to be judged as stupid. No, I did not tell my husband and family members because they would have forbid me to go on my road trip alone. My husband was working and was flying out to Texas later. I got to my in-laws. I finally opened up to my father in law who was an eye surgeon (Retired) about my concern about having Alzheimer’s. He told me I did not have Alzheimer’s but had POCD - Post Operative Cognitive Disorder. He said some people are more susceptible to POCD and that this is my issue. He said I will get better but it will be slow. I sure wish I had been told about POCD before my surgery. I had ovarian cancer in 2019, it was contained. But, because I knew about POCD, I was prepared and actually used the BEMER therapy (emf therapy) on my head. I had very minor problems, so minor that only I really knew, and I bounced back pretty quick. I own the Bemer Therapy so I use it twice a day.
Best thing I ever did was go keto the breast cancer then go carnivore after the ovarian cancer.
Most people don't realize a VERY important logistical aspect of this conundrum. By the time anesthesia providers talk to patients, that patient has already made 99% of their decisions - including optimizing their health, scheduling time off work, considering how bad they need surgery, etc.! It's just not 'practical' for the anesthesia provider to THEN tell patients they are about to 'kill brain cells'. Also, there are anesthetic techniques that decrease the risk of cognitive disruption - using spinal over general, using preoperative nerve blocks to avoid general or less of it, using more propofol instead of gas, etc.. And these conversations are VERY appropriate the day of surgery - often when the patient first gets to talk to their anesthesia provider!
So true Dr Boz. My elderly father had 3 joint surgeries over the course of 3.5 years. After the last one, he never came back to his former self, developed dementia and died within the year. Neither my father or I were told about the risks to the brain from anaesthesia. Rather we learned of it from friends and family. Surgeons and anaesthesiologist need to do a better job of explaining risks, especially often increased risk to elderly patients vs just going ahead to increase their bottom line.
I had severe brain fog for two or three months after anesthesia. I informed the anesthesiologist before my next surgery and he used intravenous drugs instead of gas and I recovered in about a week. Be sure to inform your anesthesiologist if you have had problems or are concerned. They have other options that does not affect the brain as severe.
They can do IV instead? Good to know
My mother was alert oriented. She had surgery. I always say it was like someone “flipped a switch” . She passed soon after
It’s wonderful when you set up for yourself with information, knowledge and class!
I was put under for my last c section. For at least two weeks after,i had huge gaps in my memory. Such as knowing that my 2 little girls were mine but not remembering anything about their childhoods. I went to the doctor about it and he just laughed and said it was hormones. It was probably a month before i felt better enough to quit being worried about it. So this video tells me that it was probably brain damage.
I’ve had five anesthetics up to four hours and I’ve never ever been told this! For months after I call my state an anesthetic hangover. I have brain fog and feel like I’m in soup. Now at least I know what it is.
Sarah you be strong. I too was lied to by my Doctor. I am screwed for life.
Spot on Dr. Boz. Thanks!
This is spot-on and vital information, Dr Boz. Thank you. Be blessed for telling the truth .
I agree with Dr. Boz on this matter. I’ve personally observed this thru multiple surgeries that my father, aunts and uncles and other close family members and friends have had. But for the most part these surgeries were a medical necessity so not much choice. The amount of decline absolutely depends on multiple factors but it does exist.
My mother had surgery for an aortic aneurysm a few years back. She was a senior with Alzheimer's disease, and her post surgery recovery was long and shocking - a rollercoaster ride of what can only be described as alternating "Trips" as if she were a drug addict. It was months before she could come home. She is now 84, and developed a condition related to the previous surgery that would normally be treated with surgery but we were warned that while the surgery might fix the problem, it would definitely impact her cognition and leave her worse off that she is currently with no hope of recovering to that level post anesthetic. Her condition should have been fatal without the surgery, but we still chose against it with the doctor's full support. Fortunately, she recovered without it. A shock to the doctors, but wonderful for us.
Hey, I'm with you on this one. My mom had surgery about 2 years ago and ended up with tremors she never had before, that lasted months. It was obvious that there was some type of neurological effect but the doctors kept saying that was not possible from anaesthesia. It was really sad to see her struggle.
This answers so many questions for me! I am struggling with cognitive issues since having a surgery in Nov. I get alot of " I don't know" from the surgeon and doctors when I ask what's going on.
Thank you, Dr. Boz! I encourage all considering surgery to learn much about the risks, whether from your doctor or from other reliable sources. I know a fairly young man who had to have surgery, no question -- and while the surgery itself was successful, this man suffered a minor stroke during surgery that affected him for months and maybe still does. The surgery was necessary, but what if it could have been avoided? Know the risks well, and know the possible alternatives well -- you'll be able to make a much more informed decision that may save you much pain and/or money.
my wife have been following you for years. thanks for all you do. wish you a safe trip.
I definitely neded my surgery - intestines were about to rupture. I asked for "brain therapy" afterwards because I was so bad off. My PCP agreed and I had four month of PT, six months of Vision Therapy and two months of Speech Therapy. In the beginning I could not verbally identify common objects. I did get better but it took a lot of work.
My husband was considering knee replacement before carnivore / keto and losing 60 lbs. Now he moves and sleeps without pain. It's worth considering.
👏👏👏 there should be more discussions like this between doctors. Thank you Dr. Boz !! ✨
Well done Dr. Boz. Please keep responding to these types of comments. Your honesty and clear explanations are truly welcome.
I have heard that elective surgery and outpatient surgery are lucrative for hospitals. Keep up the good fight, Dr. Boz.
Dr Boz, love your editing, especially the zoom zoom zoom, to the beat of your talk.
being an OR nurse I agree with you.
I went septic in 2011 had 3 or 4 surgeries and it has taken me yrs to get back to semi normal. Thank you for standing up for your patients! God Bless you!
Amazing Dr.Boz! You are truly a trail blazer!! 💗💗
its interesting that he calls your audience "unsophisticated", yet he's closed his mind to the experience of countless thousands over years who've suffered from the after-effects of anesthesia. Surgery is obviously needed sometimes, but everyone should have a clear understanding of the possible long-term impacts.
62 years ago I had surgery to remove my tonsils. When I woke up I vomited profusely but more seriously I know that my brain had been altered because I lost my photograhic memory. I was devastated. I realize it was a long time ago, and probably wouldn't happen today, but brain damage from anesthesia is real. At 75, I am working on metabolic health and no longer need knee replacement (or sleep apnea appliance) - lost 55 pounds.
I feel your pain, my friend. I, too, had a photographic memory all through high school and college and also lost it along with the ability to speed read (over 60 pages an hour). The loss is so incredibly depressing even now 35 years later
I was in 9th grade. My guidance counselor took me aside and said your recent IQ test showed you had a 135 IQ so I shouldn't worry. I often wonder what I could have accomplished. Cant explain.@@froggacuda1605
I am really sorry about this. I am sure even if you told the medics they would have carelessly dismissed your upset too :(
I'm sorry that happened to you. Thank you for sharing.
Doc Boz, your one of the few doctors I've encounter that actually seem to care. God Bless you
You Tube out of the box drs are growing. Idk how long we'll have access, but I really hope they develop their OWN platform so we can stay informed.
I love your videos! Thank you for taking the time to make them
I had kidney stones and they used anesthesia for lithotripsy. I went under 3 times in about 3 months because it did not work the first time. After I made it through the whole process, I had so much brain fog and memory issues. I had not heard of keto back then but did do Atkins and it cleared my brain fog.
Keep speaking truth to us, Dr. Boz. We appreciate it, because too few are willing to do it. Like many have said, it's business/money. They don't like potential decreases to the mass procedures that have been sold as "routine" these days. Just because we have the technology for life saving, last resort needs doesn't mean we should be indifferent to all the important truths of the procedures.
I cancelled my knee surgery 10 years ago after finding out that scrapping the rough cartilage lead to knee replacement. By doing the keto diet and lowering into a squat position the knees recovered became strong and pain free.
i would love to know more about THE whole regiment you did for restoring the knee
the deep squat is something everyone should be doing..it has so many benefits
@@01worldguy01 once a day lowered myself to a deep squat using a door with its handles for support. Then I progressed to using light dumb bells in front to counter balance . Then no weights using a slight sumo stance to allow for inflexible ankles. The aim is to pump the Synovial fluid in and out of the joint. The knee has a bad blood supply. Knee over toes guy has lots of different exercises.
Thank you for all your hard work ❤
Thank you, Dr Boz! Brilliant as always, and brutally honest as always!
Wow, in my lifetime, I was put under 12 times, 1 time 9 years old (overdone because i woke up in the middle, then gassed), then 55 y again. 56 y 9 times and 42 days in medical coma ICU, 66 y one more time.
The 9 year old over gassed may explaining my schooling problems.
KEEP TELL THE TRUTH NO ONE ELSE'S HAS TOLD ME THE TRUTH. Only a nurse in ICU said they don't like to keep people in ICU more than 30 days. That was it for explaining why.
Thank you keep up great work
God bless you Dr. Boz. This info. is so important for people to know before surgeries. Unfortunately, patients need to be proactive and ask lots of informed questions.
Thanks for this great message! It’s absolutely critical to get a good understanding of surgery risks.
As a lawyer I can tell you that proper notice of and consent to the risks of any medical procedure by the patient are absolutely essential to ethical medical practice. Doctors who dumb down their explanations or otherwise gloss over the risks cannot assume they are free from liability for unexpected injuries, even if it’s in the fine print, but as a consumer I always do my homework. Too many condescending or careless doctors out there treat patient’s reasonable concerns as unfounded. And god help you if you’re female - you’ll be referred for a psych consult if they can’t figure out what’s wrong and gaslit that it’s all in your head. I’d toss that letter if I were you.
I broke my wrist two years ago. At the ER they wanted to get me an appointment for surgery to fix my fracture. They said it was standard procedure for every fracture. I refused and they had to fix it manually. Yes, you can see a minor deviation but at my age I simply don't care.
I refused surgery for a broken leg at age 32. 28 yrs later, no regrets.
Keep up the good work, Dr. Boz!
I totally agree with this video. I get so many patients that have been injured by anesthesia. I did listen to your " take down of Dr. Berg's dry fast", and although you make a few points, I remain unconvinced. Thank you for your opinions, they give us fodder for examining our current thoughts. Dr. Bear, ND HMD
Hmmm…I wonder how many cases he actually runs. Likely he’s supervising CRNAs who are administering the anesthesia + other meds and monitoring the patient. The MDA is not usually hands on, but supervising multiple ORs.
My grandmother fell and broke her hip, had surgery to replace, and with great trouble could barely remember our names afterwards. She lost a lot of her memory. THEN she fell again, 2 weeks later and broke the other hip. After that surgery she never was able to speak again. I wondered WHY they could not have done a spinal block instead of anesthesia. No one ever cautioned us about anything.
Retired critical care nurse here. I've had general anesthetic twice in my life with adverse effects both times. The first was for a hip replacement that I had postponed for 20 years due to inadequate antibiotics for staff aureus, and for unsafe blood secondary to HIV. I was in my twenties. When I finally had it at age 44, I woke up from surgery with an exaggerated sense of depression. It was so dramatic that I figured it was from the anesthetic, and would be short-lived. And it was. I didn't tell anyone for fear they might try to give me something for it, or that it might prolong my hospital stay. One should be concerned with surgical pain after a hip replacement, not severe depression! I postponed having the opposite hip replaced until I could have it done under a spinal six years later. The second general anesthetic was for abd surgery at age 50. My O2 saturation dropped with a delay in getting me off the ventilator. No more general anesthetics for me! I had a meniscus repair a few years later under Propofol without event. For anyone out there fearing surgery unless its done under a general anesthetic - don't feel that way! You mobilize much quicker by avoiding a general anesthetic! My second hip replacement at age 50 was done around noon, and I was walking to the bathroom that evening. The sooner you walk, the less pain you have, and the sooner you get to go home!
I absolutely agree with the scientific scholarship of the claim that anesthesia, which accomplishes as much as a severe concussion, is damaging in a long-term sense, just as concussions are. It's simple cause and effect. Thanks for informing others of this fact. Don't be cowed by the highest paid and best-attourneyed medical doctors who are worried you might affect their bottom line.
Thank you!
My son is about to do his 3rd brain surgery for a non-malignant growth on his pituitary. I’m concerned
Thanks so much for speaking about this. So valuable.
This reminds me when I was scheduled for surgery on my lumbosacral spine. I happened to read a study from Taiwan discussing the increased risk of dementia in people over 65 years old after anesthesia compared t to age matched people who did not have anesthesia. From what I remember the control group had 1% incidence while the anesthesia group had 2%. I told my neurosurgeon I had read this study at my preop appointment. He did not say a word.
I had varicose veins removed six months ago and demanded that I be fully aware for it and not be put under. Glad I did this now.
You know, I find some humor in this. When someone calls you out and entirely misses the point, being if needed then absolutely, but if elective then avoid or explain all risks. It's even funnier that he complimented you on pointing out Dr. Bergs dry fast discrepancies, but missed your final note of thanking Dr. Berg for the wealth of informative correct info he's given.
I don't know about anyone else, but it makes me wonder if we should pretest anesthesiologists to determine if they've been sampling their own products. All that exposure could cause awareness and acuity issues.
You're making so much sense. Thank you, doc.
I'm begining to understand the motive behind just about ANY surgery or treatment and it's all about profit. Thank you for sharing and responding because it's starting show all of us what's really playing out.
Most doctors do not listen to their patients; they just prescribe as a result of lack of curiosity, critical thinking and deep listening. These are problems in the medical industry.
thats a big statement , can you cite a study supporting your claim?
My late wife had breast cancer surgeries in’95-96. I recall asking the anesthesiologist how long she’d be in recovery and his response was 1-1.5 hours. She ended up being in recovery for 6 hours! Her short term memory was never the same and she had graduated Magna Cum Laude. 26 years later she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and while taking care of her the cancer came back and she passed away two years later. She had back pain that doctors, chiropractors and massage therapists all missed the cancer. I’m convinced the anesthesia was the trigger for her AD and the high carb diet (she was a Registered Dietitian) was fuel for her cancer as well.
Tragic to be sure. Such a long and difficult road you both travelled. There is so much going on here, so many variables that could have affected her and many you don’t mention. That high carb diet is poison, as we now know. I hope you’re healing some. 🫶🏻
High carb diet can cause Alzheimer's too that's called Type 3 diabetes
I would believe that ...this is big pharma trying to stop her... listen she cured her mom's cancer...if they can cure HIV ...what's that tell u Cha ching
I wish she was my endocrinologist...I go to her in a heart beat....she gets to the masses by Facebook she also has the diet industry by the cahoonas...you are the best madam I salute to you
A problem is the SAD standard American diet has too many carbohydrates in it, then most registered dieticians follow this diet.
Thank you, Dr. Boz! You are an inspiration!
WOW! You are a great person and truth teller. Humanity needs you and others if they can get the courage and right heart to tell the truth.
Because of a genetic condition, I have to have colonoscopies every three years to remove pre-cancerous polyps before they become actual problem, they don’t put me under all the way for that, is that still causing brain damage?
In the original video, Dr Boz said colonoscopies are different (they aren't intubating you and putting you fully under - your are controlling your own blood pressure) and to do your colonoscopies.
Mainstream doesn't like anyone saying that they are wrong....!!!
Interesting video Doc. I've never heard of this before. Learn something new today. Thank you.
