Literally just paused the video to do a little sleuthing, these credentials are mentioned on numerous sites, several of which I mostly trust as far as veracity of info since I’m able to search/check for actual, reputable doctors I personally know. However, the verbiage in every single one of his bios seems self written and very casual, language wise, if that makes sense. He IS board certified and has publications (lots of cancer research) but at the same time I’m not sure I would trust his advice, if not misinformation than his delivery is….strange to me. But then, he’s a social media physician that seems a tad too too unserious in that regard imho, and seems to suffer from short man syndrome on top of the inflated egos some doctors have, so I remain cautious lol
Schools MAY verify degrees, but they do not HAVE to tell just any member of the public. Don’t bother the registrar, please, and register a complaint or query with the state licensing folks and/or the National Board if they are claiming to be board-certified. Note: board cert is optional, you can still be a specialist without it, but falsely claiming it is big trouble, and extra big if they’ve publicly lied about any credentials. Watch out for “attended” tho, it doesn’t mean matriculated or graduated. Anyone can go to Harvard’s lifelong learning branch, for example, and technically they’ve attended Harvard. Lots of scammers do this, it’s technically right & is legal.

You know that thing about “what do you call the person who graduates last in their class in medical school?” (You call them doctor.) Theoretically it’s motivational about how you don’t always have to be the best at everything, but for medical doctors, it’s more than a little concerning 😂 you might call that person doctor, but I sure don’t want to call them MY doctor!

It's funny because when you search him online, he ALWAYS mentions that he graduated "with honors" from Harvard (where he got his undergrad degree), but he doesn't mention any particular honors from Duke, which is where he went to medical school. 🤷🏾♀️
I reckon it’s bc he thought Dr Mike would use Bear’s social media account to continue to criticise him after he blocked all Dr Mike’s socials. I guess he wanted to make sure all the doors were locked 🤷
"All men should take these medications." "That's potentially lethal." "I didn't have enough time in my Not Medical Advice TikTok to fit in the nuance." "You didn't have enough time to add the word 'Not' at the beginning of that sentence?"
Sometimes it's good to know things outside from what your doctor tells you - a lot of women with PCOS and related conditions will confirm, they got treatment only after they demended specific tests, because they already had an idea what's wrong, and they got the idea somewhere online. The rule is don't try to treat your condition based on online advice, consult your doctor. And if he doesn't listen find a new doctor. And never believe anything from tiktok. It's a swamp full of bull crap.
I work with doctors and it is always the ones who recently graduated/completed their residency that are so full of themselves. Homie just completed his residency last year and is acting like he knows more than others within the dermatology field lmao ok.
And he's speaking out of his scope of practice. You aren't going to the dermatologist to talk about your erectile dysfunction, which is what one of Dr. Charles recommended meds is for.
I am just curious. Why are newly graduate doctors like that to be so full of themselves? Are they rich? Or is it just pride? By hierarchy stand point, they aren't in the highest rank cuz they still new to the field. I could imagine doctors who worked for many years would be the ones full of themselves. In some ways that would make more sense. So it's very cringy to see doctors like Dr. Charles who just graduated be prideful and talk down to more experienced doctors. I thought new doctors would be more humble with their lack of experience and knowledge. And I thought being prideful as a new doc would hurt their reputation and credibility. Isn't this common sense to med students and newly grads? But I never been thru that field so I don't what med students go thru and think about.
@@hedgiebing55 I think it is primarily based upon their background and their personality. I have met the sweetest doctors young and old and there are always the bad ones in both groups. I do believe some of my best experiences have been with IMG doctors so take that as you will. I think a few of the younger doctors treat their “Dr” title as a status symbol. They have every right to be proud of completing medical school and their postgraduate training (especially as some take 4+ years), but some take it to the extremes and come off as a POS. It would be interesting to see the exact pipeline tbh.
@@thebirdchannelforfans623 that is so odd, considering how much misinformation he is doing I would think medical school would have him under disciplinary action.
My thoughts exactly. The way he's so stubborn and thinks he's superior to others , shows what type of student he would have been. I can see him being kicked out of class and never passing any tests. Ugh he's so obnoxious. Edit. I just read the other comment that he's still in med school and not a doctor. He definitely shouldn't be calling himself one then.
Googling him, I found a dermatology clinic that he works for (and the start up he started). He is a dermatologist, but clearly speaks out of his expertise and his start up (which looks sketchy hahaha). But yeah the clinic is The Dermatology Specialists in NY. I wonder if he’s just trying to make rage bait for engagement
I actually really appreciate Dr. Mike's video because my diabetic husband is now taking the PROPER fish oil supplement. The fact what he was taking could cause bleeding and issues with clotting is a big deal. The Cardiologist shared great info!
Ads (undisclosed and disclosed) will be the end of social media. Influences used to save you money by telling you what works but now they just recommend everything. We’re back to square one and are better off taking chances on products IMO
Any health related content shouldn't really be trusted outright in short form content because you really can't get all the important information in such a short time. You have to double check it to ensure it's true.
It's so unethical for a licensed medical professional to behave in such a way. He's only backtracking because of the backlash. I mean we had people in the US taking ivermectin and drinking bleach... Medical professionals have to be responsible for their words.
But those people took the word from non-medical people. I agree that medical content creators should be careful, but some people are just not thinking before taking advice and checking it.
@@Melanie-sj8mmI mean. You have snake oil doctors who recommended that to either garner or keep an audience of a,,, specific kind. Those doctors need to be ousted and delicensed lol
@@Melanie-sj8mmYeah, because some of the people recommending these things were actually doctors looking to benefit in some way. The whole antivaxxer movement was started by a previously licensed doctor. Just saying "well they should know better" only goes so far when there are figures people trust recommending these harmful practices
I mean... He blocked Dr. Mike's dog 😂😂😂 Edit: 3.8k likes? Are you outside of your mind? Edit 2: 5K Guys... I was just stating facts! 💀 Edit 3: Wait... I'm the top comment? 😮 Well thank you! The only one that gives me this kind of love is my cat 😅
The ad thing is so needed. It doesn’t matter if she’s the brand owner people won’t know that immediately.

People in the comments genuinely believed it was just a girl in her bedroom reviewing these products and not affiliated with despite the brand name and pfp , and the very clear product placement
he can't possibly be a real dr. incredibly unprofessional, childish, irresponsible, flash-in-the-pan internet personality - James, thanks for sharing this! 💖
To supplement your point ,this guy studied evolutionary biology at Harvard for undergrad. I am not entirely sure how that remotely relates to modern medicine other than historical information, but maybe someone more educated about the field could let me know. With regards to med school, lots of med students will tell you that there are a group of students that will actual try to understand the science to become good physicians and there are a group of students that will just memorize what they need to know for the board exams. I think it's safe to say Dr. Charles falls in the latter group.
@AnikaReza to be fair, your undergrad focus/degree doesn't matter as long as you have taken the necessary classes that are listed as a pre-requisit to get into the medical program. It's probably not useful in his medical degree and it probably was an easier undergrad degree compared to some others he could have chosen, but he surely took the science classes that were required. I absolutely agree that there are different types of med students and working doctors. He definitely comes across as the type who is in it for the money and recognition. He has no shame and it's gross.
@eileen_a_b you are absolutely right about degree of study being relatively inconsequential to getting into medical school. But the reason I mention his undergraduate field is because he intentionally did not specify it in his profile. Even if you look at his dermatology clinic websites, his educational background is not listed there. People can easily be led to believe that he got his medical degree from Harvard (which I admitting thought at first). Of course, Duke is no school to scoff at either, but half truths about his background is a red flag. He is using his alma mater as a lure to convince people he is credible. (I definitely should have clarified my train of thought in my initial response 😅)
Omg I love Dr. Mike. I have been following him for years. Not only is he very informative, he will always own up to his mistakes. I died laughing at Dr. Charles for blocking everyone Dr. Mike has ever known. 😂 Who blocks a dog?
My mom is notorious for falling for internet scams. Most recently she tried to get that body spray brand that "attracted spiders" and nothing ever came in the mail but they tried to get her to pay more money to send it again. I made her cancel her card lol. But before that she tried to get kitchen aid mixers for my sister and I. She only got a fake Cartier LOVE ring in the mail. Which would be quite expensive of a mess up if it were real 😂
Omg does she like spiders or something? That myth was so dumb, considering 1) how little most ppl know about spoods, and 2) a Brazilian brand isn't going to sell something that brings the spoods to the yard. They have one of the legit scariest spiders ever in the rainforest there (Brazilian Wandering Spiders).
Does your Mom belong to my spider group? Because people were hoping it was true. (Even though logically it would make no sense for there to be a universal spider attractant)
@@haythebug5290 she made a video saying that a specific child car seat was dangerous and that parents should not buy it and an actual child passenger safety expert made a video explaining on why it actually was very safe and fine to use and she clapped back and bashed him, saying that he didn’t know anything and implied that he was a p3do because he had a bunch of child seats in his house even though he doesn’t have kids. But he had those because it was literally his job to make sure that they are safe for children to use.
@@haythebug5290 If you need further explanations, there's a RUclips channel called Markie that covered all of the Lauren the Mortician craziness, including the stuff beyond this first part.
Honestly I'm already hesitant with any doctor on social media but a lot of these doctors need to stay in their lanes. Just because you're a doctor, doesn't mean you're an expert in all medicine.
You know… I was listening to a podcast with Dr. Mike and Dr. Layne Norton (PhD not MD, great guy with great content) and Layne said “someone had to finish last at med school” and I think about that a lot. They were talking about how to identify real experts at that particular moment… great podcast episode. Succinctly explains something I was banging my head against a wall trying to explain to people. “Real experts don’t sound like used car salesmen”.
Winnie Harlow spf lip gloss made my lips burn SO bad and I got a chemical type burn on my lips (red, bumpy, and very irritated and painful) maybe because there’s essential oils in them? (I think?) I asked for a refund and the suggested I tried their lip mask which they sent for free which was nice but that also burned like hell! And none of these things are listed as “lip plumping” but there were clear irritants in them. Like who wants a lip mask that burns your lips?! They finally just gave me a $ refund since I no couldn’t use my of the products
@@TheElf_Online true! I just wonder what the ingredients were that did that because I’ve never in my life had a similar reaction to any cosmetic, and I love using tons of different lip glosses and chap sticks etc
I like Dr. Mike! He’s great at cutting to the chase and I love that he goes to colleagues in other specialties when it’s not his area of expertise. The fact that he took on Dr. Charles says so much about what a clown this “doctor” is. I wonder if the AMA (American Medical Association) went after him too, prompting that “apology”. And who blocks a dog?! Bear is adorable!
I hope the Bear Pup isn’t losing too much sleep over being blocked by Dr Charles! 🤣 Dr Charles, you should know that Dr Mike has a new Newfoundland pup (Rib). Be on the lookout to block the Rib Pup when he gets his own page. 😛😂
I was a manager at Ulta for 7 years. More than once, I had customers come into the store with a prestige brand beauty product (mostly fragrance but some eyeshadow palettes etc) because they wanted to see if we could help them determine if they were fake. I have seen some really good dupes. The best being Chanel fragrances which appeared to have been in the original bottle but the scent was definitely not right. I get it, these things are expensive; HOWEVER, if you are not buying it at regular retail price or from a reputable retailer then where do you think it’s coming from exactly? 🤔 it’s either fake or stolen merchandise!
Maybe they are thinking about the older definition of a toner which was used quite some time ago to regulate your ph after using older harsher soaps. Maybe they are saying you don’t need a toner anymore because soaps aren’t those ph disrupters anymore. That’s my guess but of course I could be wrong.
@@23lolita2323 I told her about the one I was using (La Roche-Posay), and she said toners aren’t a thing and they do nothing for the skin. There is no point in using them. To be honest though I started using them a lot more thanks to James’ videos and I can see an improvement in my pores so going to keep using it as long as it doesn’t interact badly with the treatments I get with her 😉

I ended up asking the doctor to come in and told him directly that it took place because I was so scared about anyone else being ignored like I was. He was shocked to say the least.

You, Robert and Dr Mike are some of the only influencers I would believe with advice and reviews because of the research you do and that you would reach out to other professionals for information as and when you need it. And as for blocking the dog… that tells me all I need to know about him! 😂
My guess is that there is probably a silicone in the base of the gloss and a silicone in the applicator tip that is leading to the applicator degrading.

I’ve worked with many doctors as a nurse….I have worked with several doctors just like Dr Charles, arrogant and unable to admit that others may actually know better. I have put most respect for Dr Mike and internal medicine/family practice doctors in general…they are the doctors most people see and while they aren’t specialists, they know a lot about a lot and are the ones who refer you to specialists when you need one.
7:32 He literally cannot say criticism. LMAO, that is revealing. He had to say that, didn’t mean it. Peter Monn has been telling folks about not disclosing ads for years, but they keep doing it. Even after big cases of people having to pay HUGE amounts in fines. Really stupid. It’s a really easy way to check a channel to see if they are worth watching. ♥️✌️ Thanks, James, for being a voice of sanity and honesty!
The way Dr Charles wears that labcoat is really giving me Milgram Experiment white lab coat theory. Like i aint trusting u more cuz of that coat, brother.
Fr, like I have a lab coat hanging off my chair because I need it for my chemistry classes. I could wear it and start yapping on the internet, but that doesn't mean I know shit. And as a 2nd year undergrad student I definitely don't know shit.
Wasn't Nivea, it was ponds comparing their cream Vs niveas but they were two different types of cream so not comparable but pnds was saying Nivea was crap because it left a film - Nivea was a thick cream Vs pond lightweight gel cream so the judge said it was defamation basically.
I sent a message to The Dermatology Specialists about Dr. Charles Puza spreading misinformation, explaining that it's 1) dangerous and 2) doesn't give me much confidence in their dermatology business. I suggest you all do the same. People like this won't stop until they face *real* consequences.
I'm curious, in the UK, would it be sufficient for a brand owner to state "brand owner" in associated brand posts on their personal account? Or do they need to say "ad" or "sponsored" ? I ask just because I could see an argument (not that I necessarily agree) that a post isn't an ad or a sponsorship if there isn't a marketing agreement laid out between the brand and the influencer account. Many personal influencer accounts are businesses themselves, so I could see an (unethical) argument that stating it's an ad would be incorrect if there isn't actual money exchanging between businesses. Just curious if anyone knows what the laws state in those circumstances.
My aunt died because she was livingnin America and couldnt afford the dr and prescription so she bought medication online andnit killed her. Not black market, just because she hadnt been seen by a dr. Im saying this because of telling people to just take meds without checks.
Yes years ago I bought a Chanel foundation online when I’d been buying it from the Boots Chanel counter in the UK for a couple of years… I was taking a break from running my then business when I was only 18, due to family issues so was looking for cheaper options & I found the exact Chanel foundation on line which looked so genuine that I bought it. Once it arrived & I opened it, it was in a class bottle with identical labelling & colours… the lot, but at the back of my mind I could see the colour wasn’t correct & remember not seeing the shade I always got from Boots as an option on line so just assumed I’d picked wrong as online swatches can be misleading. So I used it, several times, however it never felt, smelled or looked or seemed the same… never broke me out or anything but just something cheap about it… but the shade matched my tan perfectly. So I decided to save up & go buy from Boots again but I took the bottle I bought on line with me to get that shade, well that shade never existed in the Chanel range, it was fake, cheap nasty stuff, which I guess I knew deep down 😂 But the point of my story is that this was 20 years ago… so imagine how much scams/fakes & the rest of it have increased in that 20 years?? Be careful people ❤❤❤❤
I can’t stand Dr Charles (is he even really a doctor? Just because he’s written it in his bio doesn’t mean it’s true) I’ve only really seen him trying to give make up advice on Robert’s channel and now this but I really don’t like the guy. He seems a real douche lol
He's a dermatologist. That's it. He is absolutely not qualified to give any kind of medical advice outside of dermatology, and even then I don't know I would trust his skin advice
I had a really shit nurse once and when I asked how she got her papers, she said, and I quote "Cs get degrees, too". I wonder if that applies to doctors as well... Anyway, I'd catch the flu just to get poked by Dr. Mike. 😂
I'm so glad you've done this video. Would you consider doing one on the gifts brands are giving to influencers, such as Chanel and Birkin handbags, worth thousands of dollars and the subsequent content generated about the handbag and associated hyperbole about the brand's product? I'm thinking about a couple of American influencers in particular.
I feel like so many brand owning influencers do that! I noticed that Blogilates doesn’t seem to tag things as an ad when making content directly about popflex clothing.
I agree that it would be ideal for her to be tagging her videos as ads, but I think legally she is in the clear because every video is her saying “I/we made _____”. It would be really hard to argue in court that a reasonable viewer wouldn’t know it’s her brand and that she financially benefits from the sales. From what I have seen myself and heard others say about the Tala CEO, the issue with her videos was that she wasn’t explicitly saying “I made ____” or “my product”, and that someone who wasn’t familiar could watch one of those videos and reasonably believe that it wasn’t her own company.
I see a few people saying the Cay Skin SPF lip gloss made their lips burn, but I do wonder if they’ve tried other SPF balms too? Because my lips get irritated by ALL chemical SPF balms, even if my facial skin is okay with the same sunscreen ingredients. I can use mineral SPF on my lips though (just bought the Supergoop one). I think we just gotta remember the skin on the lips is even thinner than even that on our face and may be even more easily sensitized. Not that I’m defending a prolapsing lip balm, but just curious if others have tried SPF lip balms before the Cay Skin.
Friendly reminder that Dr Mike was partying it up with a huge group on a yacht pretty early in the pandemic. I think it was September 2020, right when we were begging people to lockdown, and he was in Florida, one of the worst areas for people not really trying to follow guidelines. It's probably best to question most doctors, lawyers and other "experts" that become so popular online.
I've actually been reading about that. Didn't he apologize even though they had all been tested and quarantined? Weren't you allowed to go places if you had been in many places? I'm curious about that.
@@ReadRidinghe did an apology on his side channel when it had very few subscribers and kept pushing out content on his main channel to drown the comments. At the time, he was also putting out videos saying that travelling/partying was not a good idea regardless of the situation because no vaccine + full hospitals. And then his apology had the tone of "but I actually know what I'm doing so it's fine". It was a terrible apology. I appreciate his content, but could not subscribe after that.
I clicked on this video on a whim (That prolapsing lip balm clickbait got me hook line and sinker. LMAO) and I found it really insightful. I think you're right. Social Media has a big problem with transparency.
I have a suspicion that those fakes maybe were being sold at Shopee stores or something similar. Shopee is amazing when it comes to finding small businesses and I can buy directly from Korea through there, but I've seen Thai/Chinese/Indonesian sellers with suspicious products there, and not only designer products but also hard-to-get products like special edition/niche products from brands like Nivea and Japanese skincare and makeup.
I did think brand owners didn't need to declare ADs on their personal pages. That might be the interpretation of the American laws as I've heard them explained before. It is clearer to declare AD/sponsored so the audience knows there is a vested interest in the influencer selling a product. If the influencer says it's their brand in the post, is that enough? I can see how an influencer thinks its obviously their product but it's always gonna be someone's first contact with the influencer/brand.
I bought a very cute bag in Chinatown (NYC) and was a bit bent out of shape when they attached a Kate Spade sticker after my purchase. I guess it was a knockoff.
This was excellent James!! Thank you so much for sharing all of this🥰 On the lip balm cases, the samples mfgrs send to the client for approval are sometimes made from a small batch so that they are perfect rather than being pulled from the same process that the live run will use, which is what's supposed to happen. 90% of the time, this works out and saves a lot of time but it's not proper.
Anyone can post videos, and any professional from any possible trade or science or craft can post videos. That being said, if you want to still practice whatever you're doing outside of the internet you have to stay real and be credible. Admit it if you were wrong, say sorry, stay real (within the SM frames, we know there is editing and there are filters and set ups and all the rest). That's how people like Dr.Mike stayed afloat for years. It's not about chasing the clout, it's about being credible. Look at Mama Dr Jones, Dr Mike, In other genre Brad Mondo, or Abby Cox and Nichole Rudolph and Karolina Żebrowska, or enterntainment wise The Click (Blair tried to sink him, major RUclips drama) - people who are honest in what they are doing somehow keep going. Forgot about AskTheMortician, Caitilin is wonderful in her work. Point being - thousands or millions views on tiktok will not secure your future or career.
From my understanding, medicine is not meant to heal but is more so like a temporary bandaid till you need it again so I find it strange that he would recommend certain medications in the name of health. Something someone will want without the codependency of medicine. And then once you get off the medication, will your body adjust well or be able to produce what the medicine helped with?

Sometimes it's good to know things outside from what your doctor tells you - a lot of women with PCOS and related conditions will confirm, they got treatment only after they demended specific tests, because they already had an idea what's wrong, and they got the idea somewhere online. The rule is don't try to treat your condition based on online advice, consult your doctor. And if he doesn't listen find a new doctor. And never believe anything from tiktok. It's a swamp full of bull crap.
Exactly! People should practice this more instead of listening to online medical professionals.
I trust no one...
Yes, but I'd even apply this offline to an extent. Always get a second opinion if you feel you need it!
I wasn't previously interested in the creator boxing matches...but I will sit ringside at a match with Dr. Mike and "Dr." Charles.

I work with doctors and it is always the ones who recently graduated/completed their residency that are so full of themselves. Homie just completed his residency last year and is acting like he knows more than others within the dermatology field lmao ok.
And he's speaking out of his scope of practice. You aren't going to the dermatologist to talk about your erectile dysfunction, which is what one of Dr. Charles recommended meds is for.
this. i’ve noticed that seasoned doctors with the exact same level of knowledge as newbie doctors seem so much more helpful and down to earth
He could learn a thing or two from Dr. Sandra Lee.
I am just curious. Why are newly graduate doctors like that to be so full of themselves? Are they rich? Or is it just pride? By hierarchy stand point, they aren't in the highest rank cuz they still new to the field. I could imagine doctors who worked for many years would be the ones full of themselves. In some ways that would make more sense. So it's very cringy to see doctors like Dr. Charles who just graduated be prideful and talk down to more experienced doctors. I thought new doctors would be more humble with their lack of experience and knowledge. And I thought being prideful as a new doc would hurt their reputation and credibility. Isn't this common sense to med students and newly grads? But I never been thru that field so I don't what med students go thru and think about.
@@hedgiebing55 I think it is primarily based upon their background and their personality. I have met the sweetest doctors young and old and there are always the bad ones in both groups. I do believe some of my best experiences have been with IMG doctors so take that as you will.
I think a few of the younger doctors treat their “Dr” title as a status symbol. They have every right to be proud of completing medical school and their postgraduate training (especially as some take 4+ years), but some take it to the extremes and come off as a POS.
It would be interesting to see the exact pipeline tbh.
3:29 He didn't say Dr. Mike, he just called him Mike to which Dr. Mike drily commented "Didn't know we were on a first name basis" 😅
Massively disrespectful on Doctor Chuck's part, lol
Has anyone ever actually investigate Dr Charles's background. Every video I see correcting him makes him seem like the c+ student from medical school.
From what I can tell he’s still in med school, he hasn’t become a doctor yet
@@thebirdchannelforfans623 that is so odd, considering how much misinformation he is doing I would think medical school would have him under disciplinary action.
@@honeybee347we just need people to report him to the school
My thoughts exactly. The way he's so stubborn and thinks he's superior to others , shows what type of student he would have been. I can see him being kicked out of class and never passing any tests. Ugh he's so obnoxious. Edit. I just read the other comment that he's still in med school and not a doctor. He definitely shouldn't be calling himself one then.
Googling him, I found a dermatology clinic that he works for (and the start up he started). He is a dermatologist, but clearly speaks out of his expertise and his start up (which looks sketchy hahaha).
But yeah the clinic is The Dermatology Specialists in NY. I wonder if he’s just trying to make rage bait for engagement
I actually really appreciate Dr. Mike's video because my diabetic husband is now taking the PROPER fish oil supplement. The fact what he was taking could cause bleeding and issues with clotting is a big deal. The Cardiologist shared great info!
Which fish oil supplement is it?
Ads (undisclosed and disclosed) will be the end of social media. Influences used to save you money by telling you what works but now they just recommend everything. We’re back to square one and are better off taking chances on products IMO
They never did.
Any health related content shouldn't really be trusted outright in short form content because you really can't get all the important information in such a short time. You have to double check it to ensure it's true.
Yeah 100% agree. It’s just not appropriate for short form content
It's so unethical for a licensed medical professional to behave in such a way. He's only backtracking because of the backlash. I mean we had people in the US taking ivermectin and drinking bleach... Medical professionals have to be responsible for their words.
But those people took the word from non-medical people. I agree that medical content creators should be careful, but some people are just not thinking before taking advice and checking it.
@@Melanie-sj8mmI mean. You have snake oil doctors who recommended that to either garner or keep an audience of a,,, specific kind.
Those doctors need to be ousted and delicensed lol
@@Melanie-sj8mmYeah, because some of the people recommending these things were actually doctors looking to benefit in some way. The whole antivaxxer movement was started by a previously licensed doctor.

he can't possibly be a real dr. incredibly unprofessional, childish, irresponsible, flash-in-the-pan internet personality - James, thanks for sharing this! 💖
Just because he was the last ranking student from Harvard and Duke, doesn’t mean he is a reliable “doctor.”
To supplement your point ,this guy studied evolutionary biology at Harvard for undergrad. I am not entirely sure how that remotely relates to modern medicine other than historical information, but maybe someone more educated about the field could let me know. With regards to med school, lots of med students will tell you that there are a group of students that will actual try to understand the science to become good physicians and there are a group of students that will just memorize what they need to know for the board exams. I think it's safe to say Dr. Charles falls in the latter group.
@AnikaReza to be fair, your undergrad focus/degree doesn't matter as long as you have taken the necessary classes that are listed as a pre-requisit to get into the medical program. It's probably not useful in his medical degree and it probably was an easier undergrad degree compared to some others he could have chosen, but he surely took the science classes that were required. I absolutely agree that there are different types of med students and working doctors. He definitely comes across as the type who is in it for the money and recognition. He has no shame and it's gross.
@eileen_a_b you are absolutely right about degree of study being relatively inconsequential to getting into medical school. But the reason I mention his undergraduate field is because he intentionally did not specify it in his profile. Even if you look at his dermatology clinic websites, his educational background is not listed there. People can easily be led to believe that he got his medical degree from Harvard (which I admitting thought at first). Of course, Duke is no school to scoff at either, but half truths about his background is a red flag. He is using his alma mater as a lure to convince people he is credible. (I definitely should have clarified my train of thought in my initial response 😅)
being corrected on something you were wrong about isn’t “negative discourse”. it’s just a correction.

My mom is notorious for falling for internet scams. Most recently she tried to get that body spray brand that "attracted spiders" and nothing ever came in the mail but they tried to get her to pay more money to send it again. I made her cancel her card lol. But before that she tried to get kitchen aid mixers for my sister and I. She only got a fake Cartier LOVE ring in the mail. Which would be quite expensive of a mess up if it were real 😂
Omg does she like spiders or something? That myth was so dumb, considering 1) how little most ppl know about spoods, and 2) a Brazilian brand isn't going to sell something that brings the spoods to the yard.

Thanks for the shout out James!❤ And geez....😳 some of these influencer "doctors" are getting out of hand!
Honestly I'm already hesitant with any doctor on social media but a lot of these doctors need to stay in their lanes. Just because you're a doctor, doesn't mean you're an expert in all medicine.
You know… I was listening to a podcast with Dr. Mike and Dr. Layne Norton (PhD not MD, great guy with great content) and Layne said “someone had to finish last at med school” and I think about that a lot.
They were talking about how to identify real experts at that particular moment… great podcast episode. Succinctly explains something I was banging my head against a wall trying to explain to people. “Real experts don’t sound like used car salesmen”.
Winnie Harlow spf lip gloss made my lips burn SO bad and I got a chemical type burn on my lips (red, bumpy, and very irritated and painful) maybe because there’s essential oils in them? (I think?) I asked for a refund and the suggested I tried their lip mask which they sent for free which was nice but that also burned like hell! And none of these things are listed as “lip plumping” but there were clear irritants in them. Like who wants a lip mask that burns your lips?! They finally just gave me a $ refund since I no couldn’t use my of the products
That sounds more like a severe topical allergic reaction than a chemical burn or something caused by a limp plumping product or a basic irritant.
@@TheElf_Online true! I just wonder what the ingredients were that did that because I’ve never in my life had a similar reaction to any cosmetic, and I love using tons of different lip glosses and chap sticks etc
Yeah, you might want to try swatching on your wrist or something beforehand if it's been an issue. It'd still suck, but a lot less than your lips
I like Dr. Mike! He’s great at cutting to the chase and I love that he goes to colleagues in other specialties when it’s not his area of expertise. The fact that he took on Dr. Charles says so much about what a clown this “doctor” is. I wonder if the AMA (American Medical Association) went after him too, prompting that “apology”.
And who blocks a dog?! Bear is adorable!
I hope the Bear Pup isn’t losing too much sleep over being blocked by Dr Charles! 🤣
Dr Charles, you should know that Dr Mike has a new Newfoundland pup (Rib). Be on the lookout to block the Rib Pup when he gets his own page. 😛😂
no, bear is definitely unbothered, happy, and flourishing. He doesn’t care what a third-rate doctor thinks of him 🙂↔️
A state license board needs to hear about Dr. Charles
I was a manager at Ulta for 7 years. More than once, I had customers come into the store with a prestige brand beauty product (mostly fragrance but some eyeshadow palettes etc) because they wanted to see if we could help them determine if they were fake. I have seen some really good dupes. The best being Chanel fragrances which appeared to have been in the original bottle but the scent was definitely not right. I get it, these things are expensive; HOWEVER, if you are not buying it at regular retail price or from a reputable retailer then where do you think it’s coming from exactly? 🤔 it’s either fake or stolen merchandise!

What is it then?? 😭
@@Raebrained I don’t know 😩 She said I shouldn’t use it !
Maybe they are thinking about the older definition of a toner which was used quite some time ago to regulate your ph after using older harsher soaps. Maybe they are saying you don’t need a toner anymore because soaps aren’t those ph disrupters anymore. That’s my guess but of course I could be wrong.
@@23lolita2323 I told her about the one I was using (La Roche-Posay), and she said toners aren’t a thing and they do nothing for the skin. There is no point in using them. To be honest though I started using them a lot more thanks to James’ videos and I can see an improvement in my pores so going to keep using it as long as it doesn’t interact badly with the treatments I get with her 😉
did she actually look at your toner or was she just turned off by the mention of one?
Blocking a dog on social media shouls trigger something somewhere, like a team who "disappear" people who shouldn't be in the wild with us.

Viagra was originally being developed as a heart medication, but erections were a side effect that ended up meaning the medication was more useful for erectile dysfunction.
@thebeaside right, but, is it still prescribed as a heart med? I'll have to google that, now I'm curious 🤣

A: Doctor
Oh, a couple of influencers in Poland got slapped with huge fines, because they were advertising alcohol and their profiles were not set as 18+.
I’ve worked with many doctors as a nurse….I have worked with several doctors just like Dr Charles, arrogant and unable to admit that others may actually know better. I have put most respect for Dr Mike and internal medicine/family practice doctors in general…they are the doctors most people see and while they aren’t specialists, they know a lot about a lot and are the ones who refer you to specialists when you need one.
They said he got his degree from Temu 😂 I howled.
"another example of dr Charles offering advice outside of his area of expertise" the shade 😂💀 amazing
7:32 He literally cannot say criticism. LMAO, that is revealing. He had to say that, didn’t mean it.

I sent a message to The Dermatology Specialists about Dr. Charles Puza spreading misinformation, explaining that it's 1) dangerous and 2) doesn't give me much confidence in their dermatology business. I suggest you all do the same. People like this won't stop until they face *real* consequences.
I'm curious, in the UK, would it be sufficient for a brand owner to state "brand owner" in associated brand posts on their personal account? Or do they need to say "ad" or "sponsored" ?
I ask just because I could see an argument (not that I necessarily agree) that a post isn't an ad or a sponsorship if there isn't a marketing agreement laid out between the brand and the influencer account. Many personal influencer accounts are businesses themselves, so I could see an (unethical) argument that stating it's an ad would be incorrect if there isn't actual money exchanging between businesses. Just curious if anyone knows what the laws state in those circumstances.
Why hasn’t TikTok banned him?
I rember my prof that has a PHD, her neighbor called her to treat their child but she politely explained that she's not a MD 😂
My aunt died because she was livingnin America and couldnt afford the dr and prescription so she bought medication online andnit killed her. Not black market, just because she hadnt been seen by a dr. Im saying this because of telling people to just take meds without checks.
That's horrifying! I'm so sorry. We're in deep trouble here in the States.
Yes years ago I bought a Chanel foundation online when I’d been buying it from the Boots Chanel counter in the UK for a couple of years… I was taking a break from running my then business when I was only 18, due to family issues so was looking for cheaper options & I found the exact Chanel foundation on line which looked so genuine that I bought it.
Once it arrived & I opened it, it was in a class bottle with identical labelling & colours… the lot, but at the back of my mind I could see the colour wasn’t correct & remember not seeing the shade I always got from Boots as an option on line so just assumed I’d picked wrong as online swatches can be misleading. So I used it, several times, however it never felt, smelled or looked or seemed the same… never broke me out or anything but just something cheap about it… but the shade matched my tan perfectly.
So I decided to save up & go buy from Boots again but I took the bottle I bought on line with me to get that shade, well that shade never existed in the Chanel range, it was fake, cheap nasty stuff, which I guess I knew deep down 😂
But the point of my story is that this was 20 years ago… so imagine how much scams/fakes & the rest of it have increased in that 20 years??
Be careful people ❤❤❤❤
I can’t stand Dr Charles (is he even really a doctor? Just because he’s written it in his bio doesn’t mean it’s true) I’ve only really seen him trying to give make up advice on Robert’s channel and now this but I really don’t like the guy. He seems a real douche lol
He's a dermatologist. That's it. He is absolutely not qualified to give any kind of medical advice outside of dermatology, and even then I don't know I would trust his skin advice
I had a really shit nurse once and when I asked how she got her papers, she said, and I quote "Cs get degrees, too".
I wonder if that applies to doctors as well...
Anyway, I'd catch the flu just to get poked by Dr. Mike. 😂
I'm so glad you've done this video. Would you consider doing one on the gifts brands are giving to influencers, such as Chanel and Birkin handbags, worth thousands of dollars and the subsequent content generated about the handbag and associated hyperbole about the brand's product? I'm thinking about a couple of American influencers in particular.
the lib balm tiktok clip with "i miss him"
I feel like so many brand owning influencers do that! I noticed that Blogilates doesn’t seem to tag things as an ad when making content directly about popflex clothing.
I agree that it would be ideal for her to be tagging her videos as ads, but I think legally she is in the clear because every video is her saying “I/we made _____”. It would be really hard to argue in court that a reasonable viewer wouldn’t know it’s her brand and that she financially benefits from the sales.
From what I have seen myself and heard others say about the Tala CEO, the issue with her videos was that she wasn’t explicitly saying “I made ____” or “my product”, and that someone who wasn’t familiar could watch one of those videos and reasonably believe that it wasn’t her own company.
@@celery7094 you make a very good point. Maybe that’s why she repeats ‘I made/I created/etc’ as nauseam…
I see a few people saying the Cay Skin SPF lip gloss made their lips burn, but I do wonder if they’ve tried other SPF balms too? Because my lips get irritated by ALL chemical SPF balms, even if my facial skin is okay with the same sunscreen ingredients. I can use mineral SPF on my lips though (just bought the Supergoop one). I think we just gotta remember the skin on the lips is even thinner than even that on our face and may be even more easily sensitized. Not that I’m defending a prolapsing lip balm, but just curious if others have tried SPF lip balms before the Cay Skin.
MY ULTA LIPBALM JUST DID THIS!!! I thought I was the only one having the 'prolapse' issue and got so annoyed, it went into the garbage.
I wish I had your money! If I had this happen I'd return it and ask for a refund!
imagine being so petty that you know you are wrong so you block everyone AND their dog.
Friendly reminder that Dr Mike was partying it up with a huge group on a yacht pretty early in the pandemic. I think it was September 2020, right when we were begging people to lockdown, and he was in Florida, one of the worst areas for people not really trying to follow guidelines.
It's probably best to question most doctors, lawyers and other "experts" that become so popular online.
Was wondering if anyone else remembered that. My opinion of him really changed and I haven't followed him since
I've actually been reading about that. Didn't he apologize even though they had all been tested and quarantined? Weren't you allowed to go places if you had been in many places? I'm curious about that.
@@ReadRidinghe did an apology on his side channel when it had very few subscribers and kept pushing out content on his main channel to drown the comments. At the time, he was also putting out videos saying that travelling/partying was not a good idea regardless of the situation because no vaccine + full hospitals. And then his apology had the tone of "but I actually know what I'm doing so it's fine". It was a terrible apology. I appreciate his content, but could not subscribe after that.
I clicked on this video on a whim (That prolapsing lip balm clickbait got me hook line and sinker. LMAO) and I found it really insightful. I think you're right. Social Media has a big problem with transparency.
I have a suspicion that those fakes maybe were being sold at Shopee stores or something similar. Shopee is amazing when it comes to finding small businesses and I can buy directly from Korea through there, but I've seen Thai/Chinese/Indonesian sellers with suspicious products there, and not only designer products but also hard-to-get products like special edition/niche products from brands like Nivea and Japanese skincare and makeup.
First time watcher and I just want to say that your skin is immaculate. It’s literally glowing
I did think brand owners didn't need to declare ADs on their personal pages. That might be the interpretation of the American laws as I've heard them explained before. It is clearer to declare AD/sponsored so the audience knows there is a vested interest in the influencer selling a product. If the influencer says it's their brand in the post, is that enough? I can see how an influencer thinks its obviously their product but it's always gonna be someone's first contact with the influencer/brand.
I bought a very cute bag in Chinatown (NYC) and was a bit bent out of shape when they attached a Kate Spade sticker after my purchase. I guess it was a knockoff.
Blocking the dog is wild
This was excellent James!! Thank you so much for sharing all of this🥰 On the lip balm cases, the samples mfgrs send to the client for approval are sometimes made from a small batch so that they are perfect rather than being pulled from the same process that the live run will use, which is what's supposed to happen. 90% of the time, this works out and saves a lot of time but it's not proper.
Anyone can post videos, and any professional from any possible trade or science or craft can post videos. That being said, if you want to still practice whatever you're doing outside of the internet you have to stay real and be credible. Admit it if you were wrong, say sorry, stay real (within the SM frames, we know there is editing and there are filters and set ups and all the rest). That's how people like Dr.Mike stayed afloat for years. It's not about chasing the clout, it's about being credible. Look at Mama Dr Jones, Dr Mike, In other genre Brad Mondo, or Abby Cox and Nichole Rudolph and Karolina Żebrowska, or enterntainment wise The Click (Blair tried to sink him, major RUclips drama) - people who are honest in what they are doing somehow keep going. Forgot about AskTheMortician, Caitilin is wonderful in her work. Point being - thousands or millions views on tiktok will not secure your future or career.
Your comment is such a crossover fest of my favorites, too! It's wild how that works. Have you ever watched Kaz Rowe?
@@maryeckel9682 no, but now I'm inclined to :)
@@maryeckel9682 love all the creators above and love Kaz Rowe. Def recommended to all ❤
From my understanding, medicine is not meant to heal but is more so like a temporary bandaid till you need it again so I find it strange that he would recommend certain medications in the name of health. Something someone will want without the codependency of medicine. And then once you get off the medication, will your body adjust well or be able to produce what the medicine helped with?
