I have ZERO faith in medical dr's! I'm 72 yrs young & I've been told I look a lot younger. Maybe it's because I refuse to take prescription drugs & instead choose to take the holistic/all natural supplementation route; I'm healthier than most of my friends/family. I've even had people tell me that holistic medicine is "hocus pocus"! Sorry, i disagree!

One of the first things that I’ve noticed when I had moved to America from South Korea when I was a small child was just the amount of prescription medicines that elderly people were taking. Because back in Korea almost none of the elderly people were living like this and they were still running and walking around the neighborhood at age 80 or even 90 while most elderly people in America was walking with a cane or dead at age 90. We were shocked.

I stopped listening to the Medical Dr’s about a year into a fibromyalgia diagnosis. I was on eight prescription drugs, and told I would never get off of them. Long story short, I have dropped seven of the drugs, 40 pounds, and kept it off for 11 years. And I have most of of my life back.

As a Health & Wellness Consultant, i concur will all statements made in this installment. The Industrial Food Complex, which is aligned with the US government, is helping to sicken this generation with all these supposed food grade chemicals. Thanks as usual Dr. Axe.

About 8 years ago I quit eating everything that comes from the store, I started eating fresh vegetables and fresh meat that I raised and butchered. Pluss started taking a little caster oil every day.i am now 58 years old, I feal 10 times better, they told me I needed my knees operated on about ten years ago but was to young. Now I believe they was lieing to me because they haven't hurt or bothered me in a cupple years. And I haven't had a cold of any kind in probley 6 years. And I have alot more energy than I did when I was 40. But don't belive me, try it for your self,

Also..i went through nursing school back in the 90's. I took the state board in 1998 and EVERY.SINGLE.TEST.QUESTION. for three hours was about diabetes. 😮. I passed!! I remember thinking holy crap! Are "they" planning some sort of epidemic? I was horrified! I did not want to continue my studies and i got my degree and went into the administration side as i do better with numbers anyway. 😂. How fortuitous as somewhere deep i could tell the system was not as altruistic as we are lead to believe it is. Flash forward...most problems stem from metabolic issues...this rings true all the way back to 1998. Thanks Dr Axe!!! And Dr Means!!

None of the specialists speak to each other. It's ALL Connected!!

Doctors definitely don't know what they're doing anymore. Or, at least, they aren't taught what they need to be taught. Since January I've had issues with my stomach and intestines. Food will sit in my stomach for 12-24 hours, and I'll either throw up the undigested pieces or I'll feel the sphincter in my stomach release after several hours of bloating and discomfort and drain into my intestines. My bowel movements are almost all liquid or semi-liquid. I have lost so much weight I look like skin draped over a skeleton. I weigh less than I did in high school. I have no hunger, no desire to eat and eating most foods causes pain, discomfort or vomiting. I'm vomiting 1-5 times a day. Every doctor I've been to has pawned me off to someone else. "I don't know what's wrong with you" or "that's beyond my scope" or they will only listen partly to what you say and ignore the rest. Then you wait 1-4 months to see another specialist. It's weird because most of them don't want to do any testing now, when before it was that they wanted to do excessive testing. I am literally starving on less than 600 calories a day and no one feels any sort of urgency or concern. I feel like I live in weird alternative universe where doctors don't know anything and won't do anything. I do not trust them, especially ER doctors and nurses.

I’m sorry you’re going through this.. I don’t trust them either. I almost had an unwanted pregnancy because my doctor prescribed me a migraine pill that interacts with birth control and makes it less effective. She prescribed the birth control too so there’s really no excuse for it. So I got a new doctor. My main thing is needing medication for my migraines. This new doctor had me doing all kinds of testing and imaging for my thyroid and had me worried sick. (The ultrasound was normal btw) She wanted me to see a specialist and tried to pick one out for me. I said no and I ended up seeing a specialist I wanted to see. Long story short, this endocrinologist told me I had nothing wrong with my thyroid and the reason for one of my thyroid levels to be elevated was because of the birth control pill that I’m taking.. this incompetent doctor also had me taking a supplement for no reason that also caused me to become very sick. You have to be careful with holistic doctors too.

I had a mental breakdown due to severe work stress eight years ago. I wasn’t sleeping and my doctor prescribed an antidepressant and it made it worse. Way worse! After not sleeping for three weeks I started hallucinating. Then they diagnosed me with bipolar at 56 years old and said I would have to take bipolar medication for the rest of my life. After quitting the stressful job, and then getting a better job a year later, I got much better. I weaned myself off the meds, and am back to normal. I didn’t have bipolar, just severe stress. This and subsequent experiences have opened my eyes to the corrupt, inept medical system.

My father my oldest brother my mother-in-law and my late husband were all tragic victims of mishaps,"complications" and malpractice. My oldest brother especially was a victim of malpractice where they put in a pancreas stint by two medical students who did it incorrectly and then called it cancer and let him waste away on fentanyl. They neglected to feed or give him IV. And we watched him slowly die for 41 days.

Immediately makes me think of the book Bad Therapy which was a phenomenal read with excellent points

Our health is one ball of wax, so to speak. I too believe it is often somewhat dangerous to look to the current medical system for wellness because of their limited and narrow view of the whole person as well as their reliance on drugs to fix things. It does take courage to get this message out; thank you!

Dr Axe you have convinced me. I was sick 11/8/23 until today 5/2/24 cough, kept getting worse every week. By Christmas I had pneumonia, sinus infection, ear infection, fluid behind both eardrums. In calling my PCP I got 4 appointments w my doctor’s PA. Every time I went the response was “well you need another antibiotic.”😢Last time I said “No” Instead Rx for steroids along with musinex and allegra. I said NO to that.

I go to senior centers all over and the older people are on lots of prescriptions. And they don’t have a clue, they just keep getting more it seems…..not to mention all the shots they get for every little thing. It gets me aggravated. The conventional doctors are drug pushers……of course legal drug pushers. I see the men with their briefcases come into the doctor offices selling their drugs. Then the doctor gladly gives you the SAMPLES. I have seen this in different doctor offices. I think Naturopathic doctors should go into senior centers and inform them about a more natural way to heal their bodies. But oh know the senior centers have the town nurse come in or state nurse and they push the drugs too. And don’t get me going on our food products. And of course all the MANY SHOTS KIDS MUST GET JUST TO GET OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AFTER BIRTH OR GO TO SCHOOL! I GIVE UP!!!!!

I've dropped all meds and 82 lbs. Carnivorous eating healed my body.

Yes, it should become obvious to anyone who starts to look into this. The problem is that most people don’t know they should look… if they are on this channel, they already know. But, it’s nice to collect different views, experiences.

without even watching the video, the answer is YES!
