    Dr. Mike should start a TV show to bust all of these medical misinformation on weekly basis...! Edit: This is a compliment, calm down people. I don't want him to go for TV either, he's doing well on YT where he can make his own creative decisions..!

    If you’ve ever listened to any of Gary Brecka’s podcasts, his big thing is genetic mutations and supplementation with folate and b12 to help methylation. Avoiding folic acid and processed food, eating organic food, cold plunges/sauna and sunlight. Literally told Joe on the biggest podcast in the world that “you don’t need to buy any of my products to follow my protocol”. I think what he’s doing is great work unlike plenty of doctors who want to put you on every medicine in the book
  • @Mushroom-gv5rw
    the irony of being served a v-shred ad at the end of this video 😂
  • Do a story on hospitals and doctors getting kickbacks from corporate pharmaceutical companies on pushing certain meds, too.
  • Hi Dr. Mike! I'm a psychologist from Brazil and I would like to thank you so much for this video! I feel that sometimes people forget that in order to be a good health care professional we need to constantly keep up with the science and we can't just say things because we think they make sense. And as a part of that we also need to recognise the things that we don't know or that still needs better understanding. I loved the way you showed how this gurus use pseudoscience to take advantage of people. Thank you!!
  • I have arthritis rheumatoid for almost 18 years. Meds only gave me drugs and drugs and I was never getting better. I had insomnia, depression and a lot of side effects caused by medication. After watching Gary Brecka on diary of CEO, I tested for B12 and vitamin D. Bingo! I was deficient in these vitamins. No doctor ever cared about that. After supplemented I was incredibly better: better sleep, mood, energy…I also follow his breathing exercises, cold shower, morning sun, regular exercises, health diet (no processed food, conscious about vitamins and nutrients ). . I finally feel better and I don’t need expensive medication anymore, just the cheap ones in lower doses. In all my 18 years of chronic disease, no doctor has ever told me I could change that much with only changes of habits.
  • @ricardopyrros
    This is a fact Brecka gets right: Most of the times, what MDs in the US do facing a patient with a chronic condition is put them on medication for life while callling the next patient in order to do the same. Actually, helping the patient is bad for the humongous business health care in the US is.
  • @chasestanton8304
    I know far too many people who are reasonably smart, educated folks, but will still share health guru nonsense. It's alarming.
  • @bubblegumbunny
    "Being unafraid to say 'I don't know' is the mark of a true medical expert" THANK YOU, PREACH IT!!!!
  • @mbhftw
    One of Gary's biggest talking points is the a percentage of people not being able to methylate certain things. Then recommending after testing taking certain amino acids that can help the body process things it has trouble processing. Why are Dr's avoiding supplements like Nitric Oxide (L Arginine) that is a known Vasodilator or Trimethylglycine and going right into prescribing angiotensin receptor blockers?
  • Atual health system in US is a circus. A triangle between insurance, farmacies and hospital. Medicine just provide pills and treatments for the condition but not looking to fix the problem in the root.
  • @fricki1997
    I really think it's time we let the people that make these claims be held legally responsible for them. Both in practise and on social media.
  • @DoctorEyeHealth
    Hey thanks Dr Mike for starting to address this issue. It drives me crazy to see so much confusing and misleading info out on social media right now. It’s even gotten into eyecare, sadly.
  • @allantotti
    Seems like mainstream medicine and big pharma are freaking out... I love it.
  • I used to think higher of Dr. Mike until I watched this video. He’s playing partial clips of Gary, taking out of context, and adding music to conjure certain reactions.
  • @Doom_C
    We need a live debate between Doctor Mike and Gary Brecka
  • @ZAM627
    These fake doctors need to be held accountable
  • @wderric1
    I’ve had my share of health issues so I’ve gone down the rabbit hole listening to guys like Brecka, and they’ve taught me countless things that, like Dana, have changed my life. I appreciate what they tell me but I actually also really appreciate what Dr. Mike says. It’s all good information. Just gotta sift through it all to figure out what’s best for you.
  • Interesting thing is Dana White was seeing the best doctors in the US about his health. He was on several different medications prescribed by said Doctors yet he still had out of control blood pressure, triglycerides, severe sleep apnea among other things. The highly educated Doctors couldn’t solve a single one of his ailments. Now HE HAS NO AILMENTS! Nuff said.
