All things being equal, McDougall died the way I want to die. He stayed 99% cognitively intact, and could wipe his own butt, and then just died without the drama associated with the typical SAD patient. No surgeries, no endless buckets of pills, no disabling and toxic procedures and treatments, no pain, no anguish. Whatever age I drop dead at, that's how I want to go out.

Couldn't agree more Peter!! My parents both died very different deaths. My dad died from massive blood clots and passed away in the hospital waiting room, the day before his passing he was working on his farm in the field. Mom on the other hand developed Lewy Body dementia which is basically Alzheimer's with Parkinson's disease and was suffering with delusions, hallucinations and paranoia for the last 10 years of her life. It was just sad.

One of my spiritual teachers in my twenties called this concept “happy, healthy, dead.” It truly is one of my main physical goals. It’s why I eat WFPB and lift weights to build lean body mass. I don’t want to be dysfunctional for a decade or two. The point isn’t to increase your lifespan. It’s to decrease your death span. Like Alan watts said. Dying is easy. When it’s time to die you just drop dead.

Se mcdougall is a hero who will live on through his work.

Extremely gutted to know he is no more. Followed him since 2012. His teachings that starch should be the center of human diet is an undenieble fact. Carnivore folks will never understand that. He lived well and passed away peacefully in his sleep. Will miss him all my life. Thank you Dr. McDougall for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. Rest In Peace legend.

As the WFPB, SOS-free say, "we want to live slow and die fast." What a blessing he didn't linger. He set an example even in dying.

I wonder if it could have been a blood clot from the co shot

I agree with you. And I'm not a doctor. So thanks for teaching me about this stuff. You're a great teacher. I don't think the stroke he had at 18 had anything to do with his sudden death. How to such a vigorous man at 77 die suddenly in his sleep? And the family has denied an autopsy? This is not fair for all of us who have followed him and supported him by buying his books and attending his programs. He always criticized Dr. Atkins and the family covering up Dr. Atkins' death. He said Dr. Atkins did not die from slipping and falling on the ice. He died from his unhealthy diet. Now here we are with Dr. McDougall dying suddenly and mysteriously and his family not revealing the truth.

His family is probably concerned that people will misinterpret the results of the autopsy as we know is quite likely to happen. I would prohibit an autopsy as well. I wouldn't want some idiot saying, "See, his WFPB diet didn't help him at all. He died of a second stroke." (There is already a video online that has virtually said this.) Medicine is not an all or none phenomina. His diet helped him live a much longer life and contribute massively to society. In all probability he did die of a stroke, but had he not changed his diet he likely would have died in his 30s.

Thank you for this, you have so much knowledge! I love your webinars :). I think you're right, John Mcdougall most likely didn't have an age progressive event. I work with the elderly and I know they do not have the same capacity to think and communicate as rapidly as John did. For him, I'm glad he went in his sleep but for the family, that must have been devastating as there seemed to be no indication he was near the end. I'm hoping that you, Chef AJ and Heather McDougall will carry on his legacy, because although I don't follow his diet 100%, I feel infinitely better for following a Wfpb diet and wish my ailing family members would follow his lead.

A life well lived. And a real hunk. ❤

Thank you Dr Roger’s. I had a thought it was due to his stroke at a younger age but also forgot about his fall. I feel so sad about his passing. He was a legend. I’ve been following him forever. He’s helped me through almost 50 years ago. I am 81. It’s so sad but dying at home with no drugs is the way to go. Thank you again. I listen to you all the time. Take care.

Why would they decline a autopsy? 🤔

Really interesting. Thanks for the great overview.

RIP Dr Do wish the family would be more transparent.

I was a strict ovolacto-vegetarian from 1978 onwards. I was always looking for good information and validation that my diet was safe and healthy. It was John's book "The McDougall Plan" that I bought when it came out in 1983, that reassured me most. People today cannot understand how little information was around 40+ years ago regarding plant based eating. I ended up lending that book to around 15 people, who also took its advice and went on to eating a more plant based diet. John had the courage and knowledge to be a highly effective maverick.

Excellent information! 👍

Dr Rogers thank you for your meticulous explanation on strokes much appreciated you make it so understandable..it’s good to know how Dr McDougall died…rip to him…

Thank you for explaining strokes. I’m so sad Dr McDougall passed. It was a shocker. One good thing from this video is I explained to my 85-year-old mother, the importance of taking her high blood pressure medication on time because she’ll skip days or take it in the afternoon and not in the morning, etc.

Not sure how long I will make it with a positive calcium score of 10 at the age of 35. However folks like Gregor, Esselstyn and McDougall are the reasons I have decided to follow a WFPB diet and quit smoking. 77 isn’t a bad age to go in your sleep, and I suspect a lot of these “Carnivore Diet” guys are going to be getting some wake up calls far before 77.

Thanks for spending the time and energy to use this as a good teaching moment on strokes. By all appearances, John McDougall led a good life, helping a lot of people along the way. I think the average lifespan for an American male born in 1947 is 66. He went 11 more years, despite the early stroke, smoking for some time, and eating the Standard American Diet for awhile (I think to 30 or 35, but I may be wrong). Though he was a tough cookie, he lost his home in a fire pretty late in life, which is a major stressor. And of course he had the fall you alluded to. I'd say he went out on good terms, and he would be VERY PROUD of you for having this as a teaching moment. My feeling is that he would also want US to learn from his mistakes and the stuff he did right. As already pointed out, he seemed very cogent in his thinking and speech up until the end. Not sure how his "fall" occurred, but I think one thing overlooked by many seniors is the importance of keeping up leg strength, balance and being careful about obstacles in the house or even on a hike. A lot of people never check out once a bone (especially the hip) is broken. The other thing is that there is a theory out there that protein should be moderately increased at about 65 (see Valter Longo on Rich Roll, etc) to help stave off frailty. I'm not saying this was a problem for McDougall, but it may be worth it to increase protein consumption moderately at that age coupled with good weight bearing exercise of the legs (as well as balance exercises). Going "low protein" may have diminished returns at that point in life to have a higher probability of avoiding cancer.

@dolph8872

Due to the stroke, he did have some weakness in one leg so maybe that contributed to the fall.

Man, he survived 60 years after a stroke. And if he wasn't so naive to put in all the jabs might have been 70 years.

Early on I heard a scientist, who may ALLEGEDLY been an inventor of the shot, say booster were not necessary. Right now I know 2 people who have lost count of how many boosters they have had. Not sure of their health because both had problems prior.

Where’s the evidence for this?

Dr. McDougall was inspiring. I felt bad as I saw his deterioration. I learn so much from his talks and books. ❤ To all the his family and friends.

Yes Dr McDougall was a genius, and thank you Dr Rogers for your wonderful medical explanation. I discovered Dr McDougall a couple years ago and it was a "light bulb" moment for me - his honesty and love for family and the rest of humanity shone through, You went out it seems as you wanted as suggested in one of your KZread video's "off a cliff" not a slow lingering death spiral with pain and suffering.

apparanetley he took the va-x................

I think Dr. Rogers would say that Dr. McDougall's death had nothing whatsoever to do with his dietary practices or his lifestyle, that those were optimal. Furthermore, I think he said in this video that the death had nothing to do with the stroke Dr. McDougall experienced as a young man. So, we're left with...what, happenstance? It looks like we'll never know for sure.

Dr. McDougall’s stroke was very serious. He had a lacunae stroke, he had to relearn to talk and walk, it took him well over a year. He was left with a slight limp, he would shuffle one foot. He talked about this as recent as this year. He also mentioned several times recently that he had never thought he would make it to 77( due to his 20+ years of great amounts of greasy animal foods, the stroke, and its repercussions) and he was happy he made it, like he knew he wasn’t getting another year.

Good, information video. Thank u for explaining stroke variations. I believe u are quite right with your assessment. Thank u for your respect and kindness.

He was a great advocate of the Covid vaccination. Many people have suffered the same fate after the jab.

Thank you.

That's so sad that the family declined an autopsy. It would mean so much to so many people to know his state of health.

Maybe they did not want his body subjected to that. Many people feel that way. Just because he advocated a particular diet (which I think I don't agree with anyway) that does not mean he has to be a human experiment for it. One never knows how well an individual follows the diet they advocate anyway unless they lived with that person 24/7.

I would not be surprised if Dr. McDougall previously told his family that he would not want an autopsy done after his death. He and his family have done so much for us all over the years. But they don’t owe us anything.

Thanks! Yes. Many diseases "incurable" for conventional medicine, are curable with low fat, whole food, vegan diet.

No autopsy is a pity, They buried Atkins autopsy said McDougall, pity he didn't have one

Covid shot?

Wow, good Info

We love you Dr. McDougall, you will forever live in our hearts. RIP.😢

I was waiting to see what you had to offer up about Dr. McDougall’s death. Although cognitively sharp, he did seem quite frail and not very robust any longer. I’m in my mid-70s, and most of my friends look much healthier than he did. I’m sure he was eating enough carbs, but probably lacking in protein and fat for his needs at his age. It is very likely he had some cardiovascular incident but we’ll never know since the family is refusing an autopsy (which in most cases is suggested by the medical examiner in a sudden, unexpected home death.) in any case, he died the way I’d like to go: happy, healthy, dead. When our time is up, it’s up.

It was not diet related. No way.

Thank you Dr Rogers, can you comment on whether or not we need to supplement with Iodine?

Dr. John McDougall lost his home, his cat and all of his possessions during the Californian wildfires in 2017 and had an unlucky accident sometime in 2015 where he broke his hip. I don't think he fully recovered from that. His May 2016 Newsletter on his website has details on his accident, while his facebook post from October 12. 2017 documents the loss of his home.

I feel like Dr. McDougall could have lived longer with more leafy greens in his diet. He didn't really seem to emphasize the leafy greens so much. He never advocated for eating a big giant salad every day.. I don't think he was a salad eater.
