Ehhhhhh ... well, I will finish watching it. But. I just looked up this guy and he does two things that set my bullshit alarm off:
He is always way beyond calm in all of his interviews, in an eerie sort of way. In this one he is flipping the script to punch up the drama. Confidence men do this.
He isn't a doctor. He is a CHIROPRACTOR.
Sooooo ... there's that.
The thing about chiropractors is they call them selves a Dr. but really aren't. If you are ever watching health videos online and it is being presented by someone with a Dr. in their title, check their credentials. Chance are they are a chiropractor, aren't a doctor and almost always are talking about areas and in specialties where they have little to no knowledge.
Now, I cannot claim that getting medical advice from anyone here could in any way be any better than getting it from that dude. Of course, I can no longer really recommend medical advice be followed given by doctors either, now that we know what these people REALLY are.
What I can say is that doctors and surgeons can only be evaluated on their skills in the same way a credit rating is established: time and an evaluation of their performance record, while not an indication of future performance, certainly is a good way to manage risk.
This guy? He triggers all the con man alarms for me.
Let's see what I think at the end of this.
// EDIT: Just watched it. Well, I'm not taking mare radar down, but all of that lines up. I am not certain, but I believe that all medicines are basically remixes and reuses of naturaly occurring components and substances in different contexts. I don't believe humans have successfully created a completely from scratch molecule that was effective in treating anything in any way. That is because the computation power of evolution is so vast it makes more sense to sift through what nature has engineered accidentally and chop things up and see how they work and repurpose them. It's what we do in tech. sometimes we start from scratch, but that is rare, we mostly polish turds until the c levels cannot tell the difference. Which is how science work.
The explanation of what remdesevir and the rest of the chain actually is rings true. Thanks for posting this.
Some chiros can have a lot of / similar medical training in to medical doctors. Honestly, I don't trust any of them. I research and medicate myself. I have a naturepath who is also an MD and only use her to bounce ideas off of and discuss any lab results I can't find clear answers on (most of the time she confirms there are no clear answers). I know most people don't have the time to research and would rather trust an MD or DO but I work with them daily and they just regurgitate what they have been fed by pharma and med school - almost none of them think on their own.
In full agreement. I work with them as well and have noticed that as well.
