Dr. John McDougall presents: McDougall Research on 1615 Patients, Flu Shots, Arsenic in Rice at the March, 2015, Advanced Study Weekend in Santa Rosa, California. More info: www.drmcdougall.com
The positive energy, enthusiasm, and passion coming from Dr. McDougall is inspiring. I've also noticed that Dr. M is one of the few who keeps a broad perspective on things. Somehow he never misses important details, while at the same time he never gets bogged down in minutia.
Thank you Doctor McDougall!!!! I changed my diet about 6 weeks ago and started eating a starch based high carb, low fat diet, and I have lost about 25 pounds already!!!! I have more energy than I have ever had. Yo changed my life!!!!
Thank you so much dear Dr McDougall. I'm always doing what you are teaching us. I'm 80 year old man, and I don't take any medications and don't have any health problems or diseases. I don't take any Supplements, except for B12, as you recommend. You are the best Doctor in the World. I am a very proud Starchatarion. Bravo 🙏👍💖🌲😊🌹😍
@@TheRelger Dr. McDougall has an excellent book out called, The Starch Solution. It outlines this diet completely. It also has recipes. It is worth getting and you can probably even find a used copy on Amazon. Or you can go to drmcdougall.com and read all the info there for free. It has really changed my life a lot and I will always eat this way.
@@mountaingirl1797 arsenic is an element, like calcium and magnesium etc. It cannot be broken down or changed. The element of arsenic is everywhere in your environment to varying degrees. Because.of this your body is quite capable of removing arsenic. It has a short half-life when compared to other potentially toxic compounds and elements such as PCB's or chromium. There is arsenic in all soil. The important question is "does rice you buy at the store tend to have clinically relevant levels of arsenic in it?" (All food has some amount of arsenic) The answer is probably not. Otherwise the chinese would be some dead SOB's.
@@777cayman vegan diets aren't purported to prevent strokes. Or the flu. Or bleeding to death. Or being shot by a handgun. Etc. Diet does not treat all forms of potential disability, death, and disease. Stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Vegans are less than 5% of the population. Most people that have strokes are not vegan. It is not uncommon for an old person to have a stroke. McDougall is an old person. Most old people that have strokes are not vegan. This isn't rocket science.
@@boomerang6130 i wanna see you when you 70ish & handling a schedule like he does. I would guess he does more in a month then you'll do annually. Let's talk again when your his age.
More power to you Dr. MCDOUGAL and your family as well as your staffs. Continue with your work also , the program with Chef AJ and Heather MCDOUGAL every Sunday.❤
Wow! Way to go Doctor McDougall! You present your findings in an exciting way, and I enjoy listening to you discuss health. Thank you! You are my favourite doctor. :)
Thank you Dr. McDougall for talking about the importance of the environmental impact of animal agriculture. I’m terrified for my kids’ futures and we need to act so much faster than we are. I’m no longer conflicted about my diet, I’ve lost 70lbs and have a healthy BMI of 21, no more headaches, heartburn, or confusion about what to eat. That may not sound like a lot but it’s the best change I’ve ever made in my life!!! I wish everyone in the world would watch this.
I've work in health care as a phlebotomist for years. My old employer did not force the flu shot. I've never got the flu. Now I work for a hospital that forces the flu shot. I now get the flu every damn year. I eat a plant base diet and exercise daily and am a athlete. I am currently looking for another job. Thank you Doctor!
Again, a BIG thank you to you, Dr McDougall, for shining the light of truth on current medical/pharmaceutical practices, and linking the issues of diet, animal agriculture, and environment. Thank you for giving us hope for a healthier/happier future, a healthier planet, and bringing to light, the obscene abuses of factory farming.
how is this difficult to understand? the first time I heard these things 5 years back I switched my diet to starch based. it was simple. but 99% of people I know have very strong difficulties understanding this. do we have a problem with schooling?
Yes, we do. School teaches you to be a mindless drone and to do what you're told and buy what you're sold without question. It doesn't teach reasoning or critical thinking.
Thanks a million Dr Mcdougall Fantastic healthy eating advice I started on your Recommend diet 2 wks ago my blood sugar is already improving I'm type 2 diabetic I'm determined to continue on your program irish 🇮🇪 viewer april 27 2021 Bless you John always keep up the great work 👍🇮🇪
If i eat rice more than twice a week regularly I'll use the special cooking method to reduce arsenic 80%: soak in water overnight and then cook in 5x the amount of water as the amount of dry rice originally used (and rinse at the end). I won't stop eating brown rice until it gets worse. I decided I"m not worried, in other words.
Joe Smith This is the way i remember my gran some 60 yrs ago cooking rice on the island(carib), soak, wash and wash again. I had to learn this as she got older.
19:34 If these are averages, there should be error bars on the graphs to give a quick estimate of statistical significance. I don't understand why all the data was reported only in tables in this paper.
Off-topic: What kind of haircut/style does Dr. McDougall have? It solves a current issue with my own hairstyle that I haven't been able to figure out. Would like to tell the hair stylist/barber. Thanks in advance! :)
When I started the potato diet a few months ago or the starch diet I got constipated and I had to give it up I really want to do this and I want to know if there’s a certain way or protocol of how to get started so that you don’t get constipated
Maurice Powers after every meal stick you're thumb up your bum and move it in a circular motion for 60 seconds and all constipation will vanish. I'm a Doctor, just try it.
Well I have been on this diet for 18 months and the flu virus thing works for me. What tells me this is I started working at the age of 13 I worked unit I was 58 at the time I was 55 to 57 I looked after my father and was supposed to take the flu shot so I did and for five years until my father died in those years I never had even a head cold. Up until I took the flu shot I suffered every year with out fail I had missed at least one week per year of work from flu. I stoped taking the flu shot after my father died and in the second year I had a week in bed and two head colds. So from then to now I take the flu shots yearly. I have not even had a head cold at all. I heare yearly of people dying of the flu. Then every ten years I hear of the one person in a million who died of flu shot. So it may be mental for me but I like being healthy so I follow the Mcdougal diet. I also do take the flu shot every year because it works for me. I also promote this way of eating and I feel great and live cheaper and healthier. But I take the flu shot like he says not to. But if he said it was time to jump off a cliff he would be jumping on his own.
"it works for me" isn't an argument. You have no idea what is causing your observed results, only hypotheses. Could be acquired immunity. Could be placebo. Could be nocebo. Could be immune activation from vaccine adjuvants. Could be all sorts of other variables that you haven't considered. Are you getting lab tests to confirm you have the viruses that you think that you do? Maybe you are right.. Or maybe you are wrong.
mrpush he lost me there, he didnt bring up loaded neurotoxins in vaccines. Anybody can resrarch polio, IT WAS NEVER A VIRUS. PARALYSIS MEANS POLIO. MY ACCIDENT CAUSED POLIO ( PARALYSIS). It was DDT pesticide spray on children food and everywhere that caused the respiratory infection which lead IRON LUNG to what they call flu. PIOSON CHEMICALS DDT. They invented the vaccine called it polio that caused polio (PARALYSIS) from vaccines. NO ONE CAN FIND THE BACTERIA FOR POLIO WHEN THEY INDEPENDENTLY LOOK FOR THEMSELVES. HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED, PIG PARMA GETTING TRICKY. REAL EYES REALIZES REAL LIES. CALIFORNIA WATER IS CONTAMINATED TOO.
@@emmanueltruths I don't research vaccines because my kids are grown. But I do not get any more vaccines. I do eat Dr. M's way, The Starch Solution, and my health has greatly improved and I feel great. I have been eating this way for over 2 years. This is my third winter in which I have not gotten so much as a cold. My family all gets sick, but not me. My pain issue, (arthritis?) is GREATLY reduced, and my weight goes down about 1 lb. a week. I have had 2 surgeries on my neck and I was in terrible pain all the time. I lost my job and could not do anything but sit in my recliner and cry. Now I do a lot and bought a bike! (I am 64.) I was in pain management for a while, and they tortured me with tests and drugs. No more of that!!!!! Now I eat a very healthy starch based, whole foods, vegan diet, and I am doing great!!!!! I am still careful not to overdo and lift heavy stuff, but overall my neck is so much better. I also avoid wheat because it seems to flare things up.
petmom ful, it may not be the wheat that flares things up for you, but rather the RoundUp (glyphosate) they spray all over the wheat as a pesticide. It’s extremely toxic and known to cause cancer. Glyphosate is also an ingredient in vaccines, hmm. Anyway, if you’d like, try eating organic wheat and see if it still flares you. But overall, I believe refined grains are not good for you to begin with, so if you’ve eliminated them, it’s best to keep them away. Best wishes to you.
Both my husband and I had vaccines against mumps, chicken pox, German measles, whooping cough, polio. Years later, We both came down with chicken pox, I had the mumps and measles, And he suffered whooping cough. I had something which looked so like German measles that I had to be quarantined in a separate waiting room to see the doctor. So... What's up with these shoddy pharmaceutical products?
Actually it does matter, you don’t see animals who are blood type O eat only plants, for example a lion, they are carnivorous. Same thing goes for humans, a diet that is good for you may not be good for me. Also, no group of people have ever lived just eating a plant based diet, EVER. This is all BS and brainwashing.
@@justthinking526 Search on RU-vid “1976 swine flu 60 minutes”. It’s a retro 60 minutes reporting on the many injuries from the massive shot campaign. I tried to send the link in the comments twice but RU-vid automatically removes it.
TRUTH of human biochemistry! Dr. McDougall is a great person who speaks only truth. I love him for shattering the lies behind industry funded nutritional nonsense. As T. Colin Campbell says. Just like Dr. McDougall T. Colin Campbell PhD Nutritional Biochemistry. Both tell the public the truth concerning diet and disease and how to heal through nutrition!!!!!!!!!! ...
I spent 5 months in China in 1985. Traveled some. Must have seen hundreds of thousands of people during that time. I only saw one fat Chinese person, and he was the teenage son of my professor friend.
when I was a meat eater when I put a rub on my chicken drum stick drum sticks when I put a rub on it and one of the drum sticks had a broke bone it would brake my hart I love animals and that made me go back to being a vegan again and this time I am never going to go back to eating meat. I feel great living a vegan the first month I lost 12 pounds and I can eat as much as I want when I want. God bless you all that reading this.
[46:50] It's inaccurate to say that since 1980 people in the Far East have enthusiastically taken on the rich Western diet. for the most part they're still eating their traditional diets, but since they're are wealthier they're eating more food and more expensive food, such as meat, eggs, fish and seafood. Those food were already present in their cuisines, but they were more frugally consumed than today. A similar process took place after WWII in much of Europe, whose population were presumably already eating western diets. For instance, according to FAO, annual meat consumption per capita in Spain went from 21.78 kg in 1960 to 116.79 kg in 1998, that's about 5.4 times increase. For the most part that extra meat wasn't burgers or hotdogs, but pork ham, ribs and steaks, chicken, and traditional varieties of cured and cold meats. In contrast, milk and dairy (excluding butter) "only" doubled, going from 83 kg/yr/pop in 1960 and peaking in 1984 at 177 kg/yr/pop. Fish and seafood didn't even double, going from 25 kg in 1960 and peaking at 47 in 1998. Interestingly, egg consumption has remained almost constant over all these years, and offal first went up from 2 kg/yr/pop to more than 6 kg/yr/pop, pealing in 2001 at 6.18 kg/yr/pop, and then went down to less than 5 kg/yr/pop.
Fifty years ago, I purchased "the best, most absorbent diapers" as tested by Consumer Reports. Unfortunately, my baby was built like his dad instead of his Italian mom; he had no fanny! Those "best, most absorbent diapers" did little good around his ankles! So I switched to less-absorbent, "stretch diapers", which were much better FOR US! Consumer Reports has to be taken with a lot of salt; better to compare for yourself.
I have been eating high carb low fat for years and have not lost any weight. I'm not knocking it and I have no problem using it as a sustainable way of eating obviously. But I can't lose fat on it. The only way I'm losing weight (finally) is going low carb with my carbs coming mainly from fruit, legumes and veggies (all high fiber, lower carb). I hate to have to eat meat because I know these days it really is poison but I'm doing it temporarily to get this weight off while satisfying hunger and keeping muscle tone (I have a good build I want to KEEP).
Well what is the weight you are talking about and your height? In mice studies, high protein diet led to mice being leaner and slightly stronger. But they died much earlier from many causes. The chunkier high carb low protein low fat live longest by a quite substantial amount and caloric restriction only benefitted protein restriction and fat restriction. So you are likely experiencing a similar phenomenon.
+David McClelland I have heard McDougall say before that in some special cases people won't lose weight on his diet and in those cases he talks about green and yellow vegetables. He was just answering a question and I don't remember him going into much detail about it, but I took from it that some people should reduce their calories by increasing the amount of vegetables they eat and reducing their starches somewhat. I have had much success doing this myself, I increased my fat intake slightly too with seeds which seems to be satiating and allows me to eat lower calorie without being hungry. I suspect the people who benefit from this route are people who have dieted many many times and have very slow metabolism and very high calorie efficiency as a result. I am still a believer in what McDougall promotes and have seen many people I know lose weight easily on it. I followed it myself for years before experimenting with it this way.
+David McClelland then you aught to eat muscles of animals so you will maintain yours. i wonder david carter 310 pound line backer does cos he is 100% vegan he gona get run over by the other meat eatin' linebackers
Around 7 minutes in... All of those cultures lived on mostly rice and vegetables with no dairy or meat (or very little). Hasn't fishing on those island countries been going on for hundreds of years? I thought fish has also been a major portion of their diet.
+HealthyMBS1 Thats a big misconception., most of the fish was consumed by the richer elites on those village, even in Okinawa fish is a very little part of their diet and only in special occasions since fishing was very restricted to some time of the year and wasn't that plentiful. www.flickr.com/photos/centenarian-diet-research/13896009837
Healthy MBS I live in South Korea and here when we were very poor, they only ate rice and barley and fermented soy paste and some vegitables. Eating fish was unusal so as meet.
Colin Campbell's China Study addresses that. Basically, it's a huge country and different people eat different additional foods beyond the basic rice/veg in different regions. He was then able to connect each food poison to different diseases through epidemiology.
Mashed potatoes with veg stock and some vegetables for me today. Indians love rice..but its true..many have been influenced by West saying this and that so they don't eat the traditional food like back in the day.
Gosh more than half the world eats rice, have for thousands of years, Asians never had the heath problems we have had on their diets, a little arsenic never killed anyone..its everywhere, in the ground, in well water etc !
Its not real hunger your experiencing, its just psychological. I just completed a 21 day water fast, try that and you'll notice what real hunger feels like. Starches are very satisfying, as are fruits and veg, you just need to give it some time. Good luck.
But... if you get the flu shot every year, you begin to build up an immunity to a wide variety of influenza serotypes. Your immune system has a better chance of responding to the next serotype that comes along, because it looks more familiar. I get a flu shot every year for this reason, I am "sending my immune system to college." Am I wrong???
Ever hear of Thimerosal? It's a preservative put in vaccines that has mercury in it. You're putting more into your body than you think. Flu shots are a Big Pharma money making scam. Follow the money. The flu was not this bad when I grew up in the 60's & 70's. And if you notice, when they started giving out flu shots it was in October. Then they moved it back to September. Now they're pushing for August. Did you notice the flu seems to come earlier and earlier every year? I find it funny that about 10 years ago there was a major shortage of the flu shot. Only the elderly got it that year. Interesting thing about that was come February the headlines in the news paper said....THE FLU WAS LATE THIS SEASON BUT IT"S NOT TOO LATE TO GET A FLU SHOT....New batches just in. Now, can you add? I can. It adds up to a big scam. Why would you want to put something into your body that you REALLY don't know what it is or what's in it? You might be setting your immune system up for failure.
See Shoenfeld re adjuvants in vaccines can cause inflammatory autoimmune illness. Additionally, vaccine companies are guessing which flu strains to immunize against and miss the mark in many cases. I would rather have the flu and months of illness than suffer permanent neurological damage from the adjuvants these drug companies use in vaccines. www.scribd.com/document/103697971/Schoenfeld-JournAutoimunity-2011-ASIA-Autoimmune-inflammatory-syndrome-induced-by-adjuvants
No one is arguing against immunity against dread diseases. However, vaccines with adjuvants that cause lifelong neurological and immune damage, are unacceptable--- And that is what has been intentionally obscured from open discussion in public discourse. The public is sick of being poisoned by industry. And drug companies are industry.
Runcible is right about the flu vaccine. And may I add that they give a different vaccine for the flu to each part of the country. This fact furthers my conspiracy theory against the flu shot. They may just be setting the sheeple up for increased illness or some kind of neurological issues in older age. How best to take over the world if you can dumb down the masses. Am I over reacting? Maybe but why take a chance? In summery, vaccines are valuable. But only without the extra stuff in them and not in mass quantities like they want to give to kids under 5 today.
I read that the duration of the immunity from vaccine goes only for 1~2years. unlike the immunity you get from the real diseas..which goes way longer or almost forever.
@@Nina-hk7ub “McDougall has been criticized for making unsubstantiated health claims.[17] Some of McDougall's dietary recommendations are in line with mainstream nutritional advice, such as an emphasis on fruits, vegetables and whole grains, but others are considered extreme and are not supported by evidence.[4][12] McDougall's diet plan has been called a low-fat fad diet that may lead to flatulence, possibly poor mineral absorption from excess fiber and limited food choices that sometimes may lead to nutrient deprivation.[2] The diet places patients at risk of being deprived of zinc, vitamin D, calcium, iron, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin B12 when followed strictly.[18] In 1992, nutritionist Kurt Butler described McDougall's ideas as "vegetarian extremism" and McDougall as "Americas most influential vegan zealot" who has taken the low-fat vegetarian diet to extremes.[4]”
I'm worried for Dr. McDougall. His voice has gotten weak and stuffy, he has lost weight and seems like his mind is wandering. He is only 69, but it seems like he is aging fast.
I note you wrote this last year - but even so... Dr McD is 71 now, and was 67 at the time of this talk. He's obviously not immune from some aging, and looking and sounding okay for his age really i'd say. But the bigger point is that the longest living, healthiest people in the world are big starch eaters, with some fruit and vegetables, and a little exercise and sunshine. That's the great takeaway. John does say he got too much sun in his time in Hawaii without sunscreen, and does spend some time in the sun in California - so his skin has suffered more than might otherwise for example, which he has acknowledged several times in his talks.
I tried t;he vegan diet for years and got very sick. I'm now eating naturally raised grass fed animals, wild caught fish milk and cheese and eggs from grassfed, naturally raised animals and feel amazing.. This man is nuts
