How Lies Launch Modern Medicine | Dr. Nathalia Holt | TEDxCapeMay
When it comes to the fear of newly identified diseases, lies often substitute for data, and for those afflicted, stigma supplants compassion. The treatment of illnesses such as cancer, HIV, influenza, and tuberculosis, are often rooted in the falsehoods of their first portrayal. Nathalia Holt looks at the precision of our cultural and scientific understanding of disease and considers the influence of perception in medicine, and asks, what is the truth about the treatment of our most deadly diseases?
Dr. Nathalia Holt is the author of Cured: The People who Defeated HIV (Dutton 2014) and Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us from Missiles to the Moon to Mars (Little, Brown, 2016). Her work has appeared in numerous publications including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Atlantic, Slate, Popular Science and Time. She is a microbiologist who has trained at the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT and Harvard University, University of Southern California and Tulane University. She lives with her husband and their two daughters in Boston, MA. See www.nathaliaholt.com

My sister had tuberculosis when she was younger. I'm so glad my mother didn't listen to the doctors and allow the treatment they wanted. She took my sister to a naturopath and when she went back to the doctor he was so shocked at the good results he fell to his knees and asked 'what did you do??' If she had done the treatment the doctor wanted she may not have survived, and if she did would have a huge scar down the side of her face and neck.

I wrote a sixty page paper at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, which focused on HIV, which is mentioned in the beginning. I am very excited to hear this topic in this speech, as this topic is seldom discussed.

I wrote “This is a profession that was built on a foundation of lies and deceit” in my book “Maya bring tears of happiness”. I feel sad, because people are following these professionals hoping to live on earth for ever. My contribution to change the mindset is the only option for humanity to survive. I hope people will stop doctors will find miracle cure to miraculously make the past couple of years as a horrible dream.

Nov 2023 - i asked my parents which they would rather have, the flu or co.v1d? I now have a strong understanding of stigma.
Very true. Personally I feel medical care should not be controlled by disease or drug authorities, instead by functional health care. The perception of health is very significant any natural methods to improve and sustain health will dramatically change the life of man to a better one. This is my experience for the last 40 years in modern medicine practice. Perceptions should be changed. Dr. A. Sreekumar

She did not describe lies. She described fear-driven incorrect perceptions. Not the same thing. Calling those early perceptions "lies" is not being truthful. When people (including doctors) are fearful they tend to be irrational and say ridiculous things.

@@vincentkingsdale8334 Be careful with the word ''cure''. The ADA deliberated on which word to use and determined that ''Remission'' should be used. The word ''Reversal'' is not popular either in the realm of diabetes medicine. I have yet to find a satisfying definition for ''reversal'', but it would certainly require the full recovery of the beta cells function. A remission doesn't guarantee this. A cure would be that there would be no sequelaes left whatsoever after many years of reission, which is very unlikely as diabetes can induce profound changes in someones body.

Not doctor's, pharmaceutical companies, they focus on covering up symptoms, only things they actually cure are things like hep c, that you can live with for decades without even noticing. Cancer can be cured with nitrilicides found in many fruit seeds. But you can't make billions off seeds so now it's illegal to even suggest publicly that they could even help. They claim it's toxic cause one of it's compounds has cyanide in it. But if that's the case, why salt kill you? It's a compound of sodium (which bursts into flame when submerged in water) and extremely toxic chlorine, but salt is completely harmless cause your body can't break down the compound.

Your mistaken in thinking they are "withholding cures". Science is incapable of discovering these "cures". Instead the pharmaceutical industry just puts lipstick on pigs no better than what we already have in order to profit.

First, I would like to thank Dr. Holt for this enlightening presentation. I knew that diseases such as HIV, cancer, leprosy, and tuberculosis have been stigmatized in the past but I did not know about the efforts that certain individuals went through to change that. Although so much work has been done to reverse the damage stigmatization of diseases has caused, it still very much exists today, especially for diseases such as HIV and mental health disorders. Although the discrimination may be more subtle these days, it still impacts the lives of many. For example, a patient that experiences stigmatization will likely develop poor mental health and be less likely to adhere to their treatment protocol, resulting in poor health outcomes. As a physician, it is their duty to do no harm and to do what is in the best interest of the patient-the ethical principle of non-maleficence and beneficence, respectively-which includes fighting stigmatization and advocating for their patient. This should include supporting the patient’s mental health and working through the trauma they receive from their diagnosis being stigmatized. This could include referral to a mental health professional or to support groups that can understand what they are going through and provide a sense of community. Unfortunately, community is such a valuable part of life that is taken away so quickly from these patients. They go from being a regular person with friends and family to being completely isolated, whether that be out of medical necessity or from people suddenly ignoring their existence. This disappearance of once-reliable people can cause disastrous consequences on one’s health outcomes. The work that people like Mary Lasker did is amazing to me as it not only erased the negative connotation of the disease but it raised awareness and brought support to these marginalized individuals. It helped to restore their sense of community as people from all around the country wanted to offer their support. Doing something like this and changing public opinion is no small effort and must have required an incredible amount of work and dedication. Unfortunately, this fight is still ongoing today as patients with stigmatizing diseases may still face judgement from their own communities, if not from the general public. For example, many minority groups do not recognize the reality of mental health issues. Even though the public opinion has started to shift on this, people may still be scared to seek help for fear of being ridiculed by their family or friends. This often results in people not getting the care they need until it is too late. The only way to overcome this is either through more public campaigns or for people to be their own self-advocates and fight for the care that they deserve. This is obviously much easier said than done, however. I love how Dr. Holt noted that changing how a disease is perceived is just as critical as anything coming out of a lab because we can't change medicine until we change opinions.
Ozone Therapy, folks. Listen to the King of science, Nikola Tesla. He knew.
What a thoughtful and poignant retrospective on how our culture first fears deadly diseases and then, with help that can come from the most unsuspecting places, rallies to change the tide. I see this trend not only with medicine, but with gender equality and mental health stigma as well. Clearly, there's more work to be done and I hope your empowering messages truly resonate with everyone. Thank you, Dr. Holt!
