Tiktok Dr's DEADLY Advice - A Prol*psing Lip Balm - Influencer Caught Hiding ADs - Ugly News 

Imagine blocking a dog

Someone should call Harvard and duke and ask if he was a real student.

I mean….just because he went to Harvard doesn’t mean he was top of his class🤷🏼‍♀️

"All men should take these medications." "That's potentially lethal." "I didn't have enough time in my Not Medical Advice TikTok to fit in the nuance." "You didn't have enough time to add the word 'Not' at the beginning of that sentence?"

I wasn't previously interested in the creator boxing matches...but I will sit ringside at a match with Dr. Mike and "Dr." Charles.

I mean... He blocked Dr. Mike's dog 😂😂😂 Edit: 3.8k likes? Are you outside of your mind? Edit 2: 5K Guys... I was just stating facts! 💀

You know … my grandpa once said, “not everyone graduates at the top of the class’ and I think about that a lot 😂

"Medical degree from Temu" made me lol

He blocked a dog? That must be one sassy dog 😂

I work with doctors and it is always the ones who recently graduated/completed their residency that are so full of themselves. Homie just completed his residency last year and is acting like he knows more than others within the dermatology field lmao ok.

The fact that this "dr" blocked a dog, will always prevent me from taking anything he says seriously. Especially since the dog is cute as shit. And hes big and looks like a bear and is named bear! I mean COME ON

Did Bear get an apology, though?

This is why I don’t trust anyone wearing a white lab coat or claiming to be a doctor online. I trust my dermatologist and doctor that’s all I need.

You know an apology is sincere when someone films it while they’re flopping off the edge of their bed.

Has anyone ever actually investigate Dr Charles's background. Every video I see correcting him makes him seem like the c+ student from medical school.

Ads (undisclosed and disclosed) will be the end of social media. Influences used to save you money by telling you what works but now they just recommend everything. We’re back to square one and are better off taking chances on products IMO

I’m thinking he only apologized because he maybe got in trouble at his work. Sounds forced.

Any health related content shouldn't really be trusted outright in short form content because you really can't get all the important information in such a short time. You have to double check it to ensure it's true.

It's so unethical for a licensed medical professional to behave in such a way. He's only backtracking because of the backlash. I mean we had people in the US taking ivermectin and drinking bleach... Medical professionals have to be responsible for their words.

Dude clearly confused “I walked around the Harvard campus once” with “Graduated from Harvard” lol

3:29 He didn't say Dr. Mike, he just called him Mike to which Dr. Mike drily commented "Didn't know we were on a first name basis" 😅

Here to find out what a prolapsing lip balm is…

Why is it always Dr Charles 😭💀

I will never stop being impressed by your integrity. And Robert’s. Just stellar people, both of you.

Just because he was the last ranking student from Harvard and Duke, doesn’t mean he is a reliable “doctor.”

A prolapsing lip balm headline is the antidote we all need to the endless lip balm releases; out there doing god's work James

being corrected on something you were wrong about isn’t “negative discourse”. it’s just a correction.

Did he just get drunk in the parking lot of these schools? Is that what he means by he "went to Harvard"

This situation reminds me of the Lauren The Mortician situation with the child car seat expert guy. 😬

Dont take advice from tik tok, specialy medical ones 💀

he can't possibly be a real dr. incredibly unprofessional, childish, irresponsible, flash-in-the-pan internet personality - James, thanks for sharing this! 💖

I hope the Bear Pup isn’t losing too much sleep over being blocked by Dr Charles! 🤣 Dr Charles, you should know that Dr Mike has a new Newfoundland pup (Rib). Be on the lookout to block the Rib Pup when he gets his own page. 😛😂

That Doctors rampant blocking 😂🤣☠️

I actually really appreciate Dr. Mike's video because my diabetic husband is now taking the PROPER fish oil supplement. The fact what he was taking could cause bleeding and issues with clotting is a big deal. The Cardiologist shared great info!

Wait...Wtf, sildenafil is the generic name for viagra. Why would EVERY man need to take that and for their HEART!? dr charles is a weirdo. 🤣🤦‍♀️💜

My mom is notorious for falling for internet scams. Most recently she tried to get that body spray brand that "attracted spiders" and nothing ever came in the mail but they tried to get her to pay more money to send it again. I made her cancel her card lol. But before that she tried to get kitchen aid mixers for my sister and I. She only got a fake Cartier LOVE ring in the mail. Which would be quite expensive of a mess up if it were real 😂

The ad thing is so needed. It doesn’t matter if she’s the brand owner people won’t know that immediately. The other day I came across a brand account posting videos on RU-vid shorts like it was just an influencer and not a brand. People in the comments genuinely believed it was just a girl in her bedroom reviewing these products and not affiliated with despite the brand name and pfp , and the very clear product placement

Amazon is notorious for the amount of fake products they sell, I try to buy from Ulta or Sephora when it comes to the high priced items…

OMG! As a doctor I have met hazardly wrong but very arrogant doctors like this both professionally and as a patient.

Winnie Harlow spf lip gloss made my lips burn SO bad and I got a chemical type burn on my lips (red, bumpy, and very irritated and painful) maybe because there’s essential oils in them? (I think?) I asked for a refund and the suggested I tried their lip mask which they sent for free which was nice but that also burned like hell! And none of these things are listed as “lip plumping” but there were clear irritants in them. Like who wants a lip mask that burns your lips?! They finally just gave me a $ refund since I no couldn’t use my of the products

Honestly I'm already hesitant with any doctor on social media but a lot of these doctors need to stay in their lanes. Just because you're a doctor, doesn't mean you're an expert in all medicine.

A state license board needs to hear about Dr. Charles

Q: What do you call a doctor who graduates at the bottom of their class? A: Doctor

I like Dr. Mike! He’s great at cutting to the chase and I love that he goes to colleagues in other specialties when it’s not his area of expertise. The fact that he took on Dr. Charles says so much about what a clown this “doctor” is. I wonder if the AMA (American Medical Association) went after him too, prompting that “apology”. And who blocks a dog?! Bear is adorable!

Omg I love Dr. Mike. I have been following him for years. Not only is he very informative, he will always own up to his mistakes. I died laughing at Dr. Charles for blocking everyone Dr. Mike has ever known. 😂 Who blocks a dog?

I can’t stand Dr Charles (is he even really a doctor? Just because he’s written it in his bio doesn’t mean it’s true) I’ve only really seen him trying to give make up advice on Robert’s channel and now this but I really don’t like the guy. He seems a real douche lol

Blocking a dog on social media shouls trigger something somewhere, like a team who "disappear" people who shouldn't be in the wild with us.

Thanks for the shout out James!❤ And geez....😳 some of these influencer "doctors" are getting out of hand!

I was a manager at Ulta for 7 years. More than once, I had customers come into the store with a prestige brand beauty product (mostly fragrance but some eyeshadow palettes etc) because they wanted to see if we could help them determine if they were fake. I have seen some really good dupes. The best being Chanel fragrances which appeared to have been in the original bottle but the scent was definitely not right. I get it, these things are expensive; HOWEVER, if you are not buying it at regular retail price or from a reputable retailer then where do you think it’s coming from exactly? 🤔 it’s either fake or stolen merchandise!

Why hasn’t TikTok banned him?

Perfect timing! Also my dermatologist/beautician told me “toner isn’t a thing” today when I told her I loved it 😢 Can you believe it James?!

I’m so glad people are calling this type of influencer out - they’re shameful and potentially dangerous. Love your content x

James really is glowing! Like wow that skin looks hydrated

Dr Mike lost me with all his rich person covid party drama

freaking crazy how he block a dog but im still astonish that he still has his license and that isn't revoke

You know… I was listening to a podcast with Dr. Mike and Dr. Layne Norton (PhD not MD, great guy with great content) and Layne said “someone had to finish last at med school” and I think about that a lot. They were talking about how to identify real experts at that particular moment… great podcast episode. Succinctly explains something I was banging my head against a wall trying to explain to people. “Real experts don’t sound like used car salesmen”.

remember when doctor mike shamed us inn to using masks and staying home during the pandamic.... while partying and making out with models on a boat, on vacation, maskless in miami

The way Dr Charles wears that labcoat is really giving me Milgram Experiment white lab coat theory. Like i aint trusting u more cuz of that coat, brother.

My aunt died because she was livingnin America and couldnt afford the dr and prescription so she bought medication online andnit killed her. Not black market, just because she hadnt been seen by a dr. Im saying this because of telling people to just take meds without checks.

I was scared for a second, I thought you were about to say Dr. Mike said something bad and I was panicking cuz I love him 😅

They said he got his degree from Temu 😂 I howled.

He's still rage baiting???

Unfortunately today having a degree in medicine doesn't mean someone has common sense. Most of them went to school just to have a lot of money not because they wanna help people and it's sad

My guess is that there is probably a silicone in the base of the gloss and a silicone in the applicator tip that is leading to the applicator degrading.

I think the doctor Charles spreading miss information as a form of rage baiting just to get attention and to make money

the lib balm tiktok clip with "i miss him"

he could have made a video about 5 levels every man should get checked and talk about meds to treat those areas if theyre lacking but i dont think he really knows enough about health to come up with an idea for a video that might actually be helpful to people

I seen that Doctor Mike video and he was really nice about it. Doctor Mike is really good

"[I] never engage in negative discourse." = I don't like when people disagree with me because I can't support my opinion with facts.

Does Dr. Mike still have Roxy? You know. His original dog? The one he abandoned because she got a leg amputated? He gets this big fancy house with a massive yard. Like acres!! And then he gets a new puppy. Leaving poor old Roxy at his Dad’s place in a city. He never talks about Roxy anymore. He’s too busy teaching the new puppy how to swim. Anyone who abandons a SENIOR PET just because they are disabled or hard to care for doesn’t deserve any pets. I feel bad for Bear. In a few years when his hips go, Mike will probably abandon him too. I hope karma bites him hard.

Also, anyone who refers to themselves as ‘Dr xxx’ is a bit pretentious. By all means, state your credentials but to say ‘Hi I’m Dr soandso’ is a bit cringe

i think this guy is just posting these stupid videos to get attention from the more trusted online doctors with many more followers. just doing it for clout. they should stop mentioning his name and channel and showing his face. this guy shouldn't be made more popular.

Anyone can post videos, and any professional from any possible trade or science or craft can post videos. That being said, if you want to still practice whatever you're doing outside of the internet you have to stay real and be credible. Admit it if you were wrong, say sorry, stay real (within the SM frames, we know there is editing and there are filters and set ups and all the rest). That's how people like Dr.Mike stayed afloat for years. It's not about chasing the clout, it's about being credible. Look at Mama Dr Jones, Dr Mike, In other genre Brad Mondo, or Abby Cox and Nichole Rudolph and Karolina Żebrowska, or enterntainment wise The Click (Blair tried to sink him, major RU-vid drama) - people who are honest in what they are doing somehow keep going. Forgot about AskTheMortician, Caitilin is wonderful in her work. Point being - thousands or millions views on tiktok will not secure your future or career.

So many “doctors” on TikTok that have “amazing revolutionary advice” but are literally giving terrible dangerous advice. Like TikTok get your shit together and ban those kinds of people. I used to watch Grace when I first started working out, it’s wild to see how much she’s achieved since I last watched her page.

I'm sorry but I'm gonna need these universities to PLEASE speak up and say "HE DOESN'T GO HEREEE"

7:32 He literally cannot say criticism. LMAO, that is revealing. He had to say that, didn’t mean it. Peter Monn has been telling folks about not disclosing ads for years, but they keep doing it. Even after big cases of people having to pay HUGE amounts in fines. Really stupid. It’s a really easy way to check a channel to see if they are worth watching. ♥️✌️ Thanks, James, for being a voice of sanity and honesty!

Omg you literally got glass skin in this video so jelly 😭😭💗

Oh, a couple of influencers in Poland got slapped with huge fines, because they were advertising alcohol and their profiles were not set as 18+.

MY ULTA LIPBALM JUST DID THIS!!! I thought I was the only one having the 'prolapse' issue and got so annoyed, it went into the garbage.

Blocking the dog is wild

The proper response is dialogue- from a doctor who blocked the other doctor disagreeing. Nice!

Friendly reminder that Dr Mike was partying it up with a huge group on a yacht pretty early in the pandemic. I think it was September 2020, right when we were begging people to lockdown, and he was in Florida, one of the worst areas for people not really trying to follow guidelines. It's probably best to question most doctors, lawyers and other "experts" that become so popular online.

COSRX snail mucin cream/serum on Amazon: real or fake?? Was tempted by the cheap prices but so many reviews are calling it out as fake... I thought as a bit of a brand ambassador you might have an idea😁

They both suck. Isn't Dr. Mike the guy who said not to go outside during COVID, with quarantine mandates, while hosting a huge boat party for his birthday? And Then having a shity apology about being a hypocrite? Maybe I'm mis-remembering.

I sent a message to The Dermatology Specialists about Dr. Charles Puza spreading misinformation, explaining that it's 1) dangerous and 2) doesn't give me much confidence in their dermatology business. I suggest you all do the same. People like this won't stop until they face *real* consequences.

I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and seeing how wildly wrong a ton of MDs are is so wild... I've had it happen to me personally.

I did think brand owners didn't need to declare ADs on their personal pages. That might be the interpretation of the American laws as I've heard them explained before. It is clearer to declare AD/sponsored so the audience knows there is a vested interest in the influencer selling a product. If the influencer says it's their brand in the post, is that enough? I can see how an influencer thinks its obviously their product but it's always gonna be someone's first contact with the influencer/brand.

You, Robert and Dr Mike are some of the only influencers I would believe with advice and reviews because of the research you do and that you would reach out to other professionals for information as and when you need it. And as for blocking the dog… that tells me all I need to know about him! 😂

I have a suspicion that those fakes maybe were being sold at Shopee stores or something similar. Shopee is amazing when it comes to finding small businesses and I can buy directly from Korea through there, but I've seen Thai/Chinese/Indonesian sellers with suspicious products there, and not only designer products but also hard-to-get products like special edition/niche products from brands like Nivea and Japanese skincare and makeup.

I'm so glad you've done this video. Would you consider doing one on the gifts brands are giving to influencers, such as Chanel and Birkin handbags, worth thousands of dollars and the subsequent content generated about the handbag and associated hyperbole about the brand's product? I'm thinking about a couple of American influencers in particular.

Good that Dr Mike is fighting misinformation. I still can’t seem to forget his COVID partying days and the poor apology

Um we all love Dr Mike 😂 ALSO. Have we looked up this guys NPI cause bud cant be a practicing doctor without being licensed and we can find it

I’ve worked with many doctors as a nurse….I have worked with several doctors just like Dr Charles, arrogant and unable to admit that others may actually know better. I have put most respect for Dr Mike and internal medicine/family practice doctors in general…they are the doctors most people see and while they aren’t specialists, they know a lot about a lot and are the ones who refer you to specialists when you need one.

I have zero respect for "Doctor" Mike, but this tool is dangerous!

DR MIKE SHOULD KNOW… That doesn’t mean that any random guy watching the video does. ONE very important thing that is taught in the medical industry is to BE SPECIFIC when giving directions, writing a script. Example: (Same one I was given by the professor) A lady goes back to the doctor for a rash that isn’t healing. The doctor asks if she was using “the jelly” he prescribed. The lady replies, I’ve been putting it on my toast twice a day for three days and IT’S NOT WORKING. The prescription directions were to use twice daily. Never assume that everyone understands logic. 🤷‍♀️

Every doctor in America should have a Physician's Desk Reference - there is zero excuse for not flicking through that to find the contraindications. This is potentially lethal misinformation and he's is opening himself up to some extremely serious consequences, should something happen to anyone following that advice. At the very least: it's not going to be very good for his insurance rates. There are almost zero medications or supplements that are safe for every single person. It is *never* wise to make any sort of sweeping generalisation.

That's why DR. Mike is the best!!

I really doubt this guy is a real doctor. LOL He might just be a dermatology tech, you know like one of those TikTok veneer techs that got their degrees in 2 days from TikTok.

Tbh I used to watch Dr. Mike until that yacht party mid-covid and subsequent subpar, hidden apology.

I thought have "Shortages" of Doctors, isn't that why some appointment with Doctors can take weeks, if not MOTHS or a Year in advance... So why are they all over the Social Media?
