Love this guy! We need more people with integrity like him.
Longtime fan, but my first post on a video of yours. Thank you for all your awesome work over the years. FYI, this video shows up as a non-short. To make a short, upload in portrait mode (9:16 ratio, i.e. 1920 by 1080 pixels). :)
I only saw 59 seconds.... where is the rest of the interview for me to watch?
Dr. Prasad, what are your thoughts on fasting in the treatment of cancer?
How about letting the patient decide on that one?!
1000%. One has to wonder, where has reason and common sense gone in the practice of medicine?
Sold to private interests from close to start. Research the history of the origins and path we’ve taken in the west and other countries.
Last year my formerly drug-free mother was convinced by her doctor to start taking a blood pressure lowering drug, plus mirtazapine. Apparently she had mentioned that she was occasionally waking up during the night, so they decided that drugs would be the obvious solution.
Well, it turns out that both drugs can cause dizziness upon standing. And the two together is a double whammy, of course.
So, within a few weeks she had become dizzy upon standing, fainted and fallen.
So, then she was in hospital with a badly broken femur. Where they diagnosed her with orthostatic hypotension (i.e. LOW blood pressure upon standing). BUT - they carried on giving her the Mirtazapine. Even though it is known to lead to a fall risk for frail elderly ladies with orthostatic hypotension.
Eventually, I was able to get involved and to convince her to stop taking the tablets.
And - all for what?
There was no real basis for putting her on this drug. I told her to switch to decaff tea. And since then she sleeps fine!!
You need to confront the doctor about the possibility that his or her intervention may have played a primary role in this tragic outcome. And then remind them of their hippocratic oath.
That's what healthcare for old people has come to now. You wait a month or two to see the doctor for 20 minutes and you get a pill for your symptom. Sometimes a test then a pill. Then you read your AVS (after visit summary) and it doesn't sound like anything you experienced.
A great guy and great doctor 👍
Thank you for your tenacity 😁
What about grief counseling with someone who works with those undergoing cancer treatment vs meds?
He’s absolutely correct. Antidepressants are for people who don’t have a reason to be depressed. They don’t have any utility for people with serious illness or loss. They just don’t work in these cases. Those people benefit much more from support and comforting.
MDMA therapy & solo therapy + low-moderate dosages of LSD would be pretty effective especially for trauma based issues.
The voice of reason. Thank you!
This is the first Short I remember seeing from Dr V. His concepts are so in depth that they don't lend themselves well to 60 second blurbs. I like this and think it's an avenue worth pursuing.
Thanks Dr.
How dare you question The Science!
I think doctors should also watch out for patients on antidepressants asking for a different drug or for it to be increased. I have parents that have had theirs increased 2-3 times and it's still not doing any good. A lot of people on the pill need to pushed to get therapy or be more honest with themselves and the quality of their life.
It's sad that so few clinicians are like Vinay, and actually use their cognitive faculties. Most of them are just implementing flow charts that some manager gave them.
"A pill for every ill."
I would like to see Vanay address, not the CLAIMS of Steve Kirsch, but the DATA and graphs behind the claims of Steve K. Like, using the New Zealand data. Steve keeps talking about how the slope should go down, but it goes up, and that NEVER happens from anything "safe". Vanay is a much better teacher and explainer. Would love to see him explain it for us. (and vet to the extent possible).
How do you fill after 2 weeks rounding in hospital? Like shit, and I leave home every evening, sleep in my own bed and if thing became very bad at work I could quit. What could lymphoma/BMT patient do? Nothing. Siting there hoping for better. They can’t quit. So if you are writing SSRI for dying or acutely ill, that means you are nothing more than a robotic m***n.
and the way you feel when you have cancer can most definitely induce depression to begin with, I dont get your point ?????
Yes we in this business medicalize appropriate human behavior and irresponsibly invoke pathology when it does not exist. Who cares if the patient doesn’t benefit? The medicoeconomic imperative to do something overwhelms any sense of exercising sound clinical judgment. A sad commentary on our profession.
vinay, you look like you've aged about 20 years in 5. and you want to tell other people what healthy living is like?
Which full length video is this clip from? Thanks!
Are you ever going to address the excess deaths issue?
Why didn’t you think the same way at roll out of Covid vaccine. You were part of the consensus crowd It was surprising to see. Would love to see video explains why or how you and many other doctors were so wrong.
Genius
It’s called “situational depression”
Can’t treat that with a pill duh
I wonder what this doctor thinks of ivermectin- the safest drug on the planet.
This is the best interpretation I have heard so far of a common problem that I see everyday as a hemeonc doc. Please keep content like this coming!!!
Psychodelics with therapy may be better at that point...
Please keep being real ! Love your style Prasad❤
*im still a 'pain is the 5th vital sign' kinda lad: including emotional. iff people are not well - be it expected for thr situation or not - our best guess at BNW Soma we have is the right call.* that doesnt mean dont fix idiot policy or do so automatically. but nvr go too far the other way. & never forget the other Tx are very likely _causal_ in depressive states. independently. (espec immunoTx.)
you know, or not. i make this stuff up as i go. _JC
Love this man for his honesty.
Agree, 1000 % !!
A red pill.
What do you do with patients who cannot handle their diagnosis and need help? Would you have them suffer and unable to go through with their days?
antidepressants are rarely if ever the answer. They have more bad side effects and take months to find one that helps at the right dose. Talk therapy is better. Let's listen to patients and empathize with their pain.
I'd say so. Orange pill has answered many of my questions.
First!
When is he going to talk about the elephant in the room when it comes from the covid "vaccines" and #p #r #i #o #n #s disease?
He does in this full interviews
