He's gets his way so much when somome actually disagrees with him he throws a fit... You know my four year old throws a fit when he doesn't get his way.

To be fair, it was a takedown of the clip, not the whole podcast.. but I agree with your general annoyance and implied eye roll.

He cites studies on nicotinic acid, which is niacin (vitamin B3), not nicotine and barely present in cigarettes. It’s funny b/c we call it niacin today due to FDA thought people might confuse it with nicotine - history lessons even undergrads should know. His team might have known better lol

This guy is definitely hiding something, trying to make unsubstantiated claims. These absurd but hilarious claims, equivalent to saying "drinking cyanide is the best way to cure your cancer" and "eating grapes will make your d**k smaller" is really just a wtf.

“Can’t handle the heat I guess” Didn’t want the smoke was right there! But yes I agree

It just sounds like dr. Grundy is just dangerous. The way he talks in the other clips with the people who don't challenge him, sounds as if he knows people are becoming less and less informed and he's praying upon it.

Insane right🤯

This was a Covid talking point too. Several people in the medical community definitively had some divisions among them.

Eh, not really, at least not anymore. We've seen so many similar situations of slapsuits and people threatening legal action to silence people.

The confusion you're having is because Dr Mike is knowingly misrepresenting what Dr Gundry said. He knows Dr Gundry was not referencing smoking Cigarettes, but referencing the Kitavan Community (on the island of Kitava) - Whom are daily smokers and smoke imported black or home-grown tobacco... Not Cigarettes

​@lastfreemen He clearly was referencing smoking cigarettes in this video AND in the podcast. If he felt misrepresented why continue with a smile? He knew what he was doing and you have been duped by big words. Congratulations.

@@CM-iz5ny What big words are you talking about? 😂 Mike has clipped it so you don't see the context in which the topic originated 🤦

@@lastfreemen Are you dense? WATCH THE PODCAST! nothing was taken out of context.

My favorite part of all this is that now Dr Gundry's lawyers are claiming they never sent Dr Mike a Cease and desist. When pushed further about it by an outlet they later claimed the letter technically wasn't a cease and desist, it was just asking him to take the video down, and then lied about Dr Mike editing the clip even though he didn't...

And explain again why it is wrong :)

Irresponsible driving habits lower ones risk of developing Alzheimer’s

Apparently Dr Gundry can! Edit: not saying Gundry is right. Just saying he’ll argue it even if he is wrong.

Invading people's homes in Texas lowers the risks of developing Alzheimer's!

My dads mom never smoked and lived to 96 with no cognitive decline. My mom's mom died at 84 from troath cancer and emphysema 10 years after she stopped smoking. No parkinsons or dementia though

I’m sorry to hear that

If she smoked more she would of lived, others must of tried to make her quit.

someone should have told Biden to smoke then!

So you're telling me that smoking prevents dementia and alzheimer's because it kills before they can get them? Whoo!

Gundry might as well say "trust me bro"🙄

That's one clip from the whole thing, and as he said the whole podcast kept going back to the subject. On the other hand, the opposite argument is literally "the sky is pink and elephants fall from the sky," and offered no evidence, while there is a massive body of research dating to the early 19th Century that the sky is not pink and elephants do not fall from the sky. That even without controlling for income (as smokers have a higher median income and all the benefits of that money) smokers still die younger. Absurd claims do not merit good faith argument.

@Anti-Villain-Wolf, Thank you!

FR ppl js dont understand the fundamentals of debating anymore lol

That isn't an argument, that's just contradiction! An argument’s a collective series of statements to establish a definite proposition. Argument’s an intellectual process. Contradiction’s just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.

AYOOO!

YOOOOOO

YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

Roasted

For real I am itchin to go grab a box right now tbh I never knew I could enjoy ciggies and live long too

imagine a physician indirectly incouraging people to harm themselves. because that's what Gundry did. isn't that against the Hippocratic oath? "I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgment, and I will do no harm or injustice to them. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, _nor will I suggest such a course_ ." Cigarette smoke is confirmed to be basically a poison. Gundry is suggesting (indirectly, but still) to take it, through enticing towards a longer lifespan.

I find it hard to believe it's not on purpose either, because he does it all the time. Like at another point in the interview he says you "might as well be eating a Hershey's chocolate bar" if you're eating a bowl of grapes because the sugar content is the same, and when it gets pointed out that grapes have more nutritional value for the amount of sugar they contain than a Hershey's bar he starts trying to make chocolate seem healthy by talking about extra dark chocolate, ignoring that Hershey's is milk chocolate and ignoring the criticism that some people will take that to mean "I might as well eat the Hershey's bar over the bowl of grapes" he simply replied "Might as well..." before later conceding that milk chocolate is in fact worse than eating a bowl of grapes. Still didn't seem interested in changing the way he put that messaging out though.

The problem is, and I don’t follow Gundry, Dr Mike didn’t prove him wrong yet. Dr Gundry was very clear, it was the nicotine that was helpful for the mitochondria, and said the smoking and the tobacco were unhealthy. Dr Mike in this video only should smoking and tobacco as unhealthy, so Mike just proved they agree. Dr Mike needed to refute nicotine was why smoking was bad. That Nicotine was unhealthy. He didnt show one study about nicotine, so Dr Gundry will still be walking around saying he is right.

Don't read my name

@@hangtownranger The thing is that the statement he led with was that *smoking* could provide health benefits, not that nicotine acid consumed from smoking could provide health benefits. He then repeated the same statement multiple times, only mentioning nicotine acid once in the clip. It’s his wording and desire to invoke controversy that incriminated him, not misleading clipping by Dr. Mike’s team.

​@@hangtownrangerFeel free to try smoking and see how it works to "extend your life" based on Dr. Gundry's feelings. We can just just watch you and see how he lied to hurt you.

@@hangtownranger No, YOU'RE being intentionally misleading or ignorant, because Dr. Gundry SPECIFICALLY said it was "smoking" that did it.

My dad was a little more older when he got throat cancer, but I can definitely attest to the fact that it is a _horrible_ way to die.

There is a contrarian side to humanity, which is a reason why conspiracy theories get popular. Some people like to think that they found some secret that most of society doesn't know about. It's a powerful feeling. But pair this up with social media and internet, and it's poison. But where there is audience, there is money to be made. And thus the books promoting it. It's cornering a market.

@@PROVOCATEURSK No, because when doctors do it is more dangerous than when politicians and priests do. Not that is good when pol and pri do it, but when a doc does its worse

Always take a cause and effect and consider the reverse. If people who smoke are less likely to have Parkinsons, then maybe an indicator for Parkinsons is inherent in something about not smoking.

@@PROVOCATEURSK nobody should, and no one here is suggesting otherwise. This video and the context of it is specifically about doctors and healthcare experts.

Isn't this? This was mainstream in the 70's when doctors, the supposed experts in the field, used to call 'smoking good for you'. Just like when "Doctor" Mike painted all the other doctors who spoke against c0v!d v@x's with facts. He called them nutters and was shilling hard. People have short memories, it's crazy.

Those who survive smoking all their lives long enough to be in the relevant age group for dementia patents probably have very good genes, otherwise they wouldn't have survived smoking all their lives. So that basically means that it's their genes that prevent them from getting dementia and all the other diseases, not the smoking.

Literally not how statistics work if they are done correctly. Smoking could help with parkinsons and dementia, other side effects don't matter to those stats but you are all too slow to use logic and understand numbers and reality.

That's not what the cease and desist is about. He isn't asking for the podcast to be removed or the information he said during it to be removed. The cease and desist is purely for the short which shows a small segment of the overall content in an out of context manner. In being out of context, the short makes it appear like that Doctor is recommending smoking which isn't the case, with Doctor Mike here acknowledging that this isn't the case. This is why the cease and desist has been made. The request isn't to stop Doctor Mike showing what he said during the interview, it's about stopping Doctor Mike taking what was said during the interview and displaying it in an out of context manner, as in doing so Doctor Mike created a misleading narrative that the other Doctor recommended smoking. While a fan of Doctor Mike myself, on this occasion, he is in the wrong, displaying the cease and desist as if it's a request for the misinformation to be hidden, when in truth it's a request for the false narrative - that this other Doctor recommends smoking - to be removed, through the removal of the short. The cease and desist was the correct course of action for the other Doctor to take here as he is being defamed by the negative impression the out of context short provides. (Note: The negative impression to the extent that would be defamatory is that of the short displaying the other Doctor as recommending smoking and has nothing to do with the misinformation provided by the other Doctor or any separate or additional negative impressions brought on from that misinformation).

Goddamn that's actually a fantastic point/comparison. I'm going to have to steal it when talking about nonsensical correlations lol

It was sad to see someone I thought was fairly unbiased (as unbiased as anyone truly can be) clearly either being paid or otherwise compensated to push a narrative that was actively harming people.

That's why you go with the research, because the peer reviewed research will be the closest to the 'truth'. It's not infallible, but nothing is.

Imagine that..... Now apply that logic to twitter gender nonsense 🤷🏼

I’ve met more doctors I don’t trust than I do…. Seems like they barely even try to help you anyways

I mean, you should never fully trust a single source. Unless you look into both sides of an argument yourself, you should always take what others say with a grain of sault and assume it could be wrong. There's no such thing as an unbiased source. Even if I look into something myself, I always try to have the mindset that anything I'm reading could potentially be proven false.

I didn't watch the longer interview, but maybe what he's trying to say is that NICOTINE is what is good against Parkinson's and dementia, but the way it's administered is what will kill you. Wanted to add, satanicaries, that I agree with everything you've said but chose to tack my reply onto you because you're up top without dozens and dozens of replies. That cardiothoracic surgeon is nuts - he's giving himself so many future patients that he'll need to operate on for AAA and stents galore.

Just to clarify something, but the Hippocratic Oath which features the words "first do no harm" is actually not sworn by a lot of doctors - it depends on region and so on but a lot of the time there will be other codes that are sworn unto. Many doctors swear no such oath at all. The Hippocratic Oath is a stereotype a lot of the time, so it's not really a good example.

Gundry outright explained the (made-up) benefits of smoking (Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease), while confronting the host and the other guest with just a stern "you are wrong" dismissal while talking over them as loudly as he could. He made himself clear that he believes smoking is beneficial to one's health, and he is all for it.

​@@OrdinaryEXP "He made himself clear that he believes smoking is beneficial to one's health, and he is all for it." This is just completely made up. He said certain people lived long because they smoked because it was paired with other things. Now, you don't have to believe that's true and he admitted it was a theory, but he never said smoking is beneficial to one's health. You just lied. Plain and simple

He's actually correct with the cease and desist. If you re-listen to the section of this video where Doctor Mike addresses the content of the cease and desist, it is solely about the fact that the short - being out of context - portrays the other Doctor as recommending smoking, which he doesn't. He isn't saying "I don't want to be held responsible for my own words" he is saying, "Your short paints me in a false narrative suggesting I endorse smoking which I don't, take it down as it's harmful to me" He isn't asking for the podcast to be removed, or for the specific section of misinformation he said during the podcast to be removed; he only wants the short that falsely portrays him as recommending smoking removed, and he is correct to do so. I'm not sure why Doctor Mike glosses over this and focuses on the factuality of the information given by the other Doctor, but the incorrect information that was given by the other Doctor has absolutely nothing to do with the cease and desist. Given the content of the cease and desist, it's not an attempt to bully, silence or scare Doctor Mike, but instead the correct legal response to a form of defamation caused by an out of context short creating a misleading and false narrative. It would be right for Doctor Mike to, in this instance, remove the short as it is defamatory.

Thank you for commenting this! It definitely clears up what nicotinic acid is. It also makes me wonder if Gundry chose that term instead of niacin, knowing his audience will also assume its nicotine-related so it might improve his rhetoric.

Sadly where I live, even when they aren’t allowed to practice they still lecture/tour/post online

​@@user-bd7mo7mr6p yep, just look at "Dr" Phil. He ain't no board certified doctor and hasn't been for many years because he got up to some f*d up stuff & was told he needed to do some relearning before he could practice again. He didn't want to do he switched tracks.

Which is why I will never listen to a thing Gundry says.

💯 Agree

I hope he gets his license revoked.

Mike lost his integrity during plandemic.

agreed! peer review is such an important part of science and that includes medicine

depends if its a scientific peer reviewed paper, like for NATURE, or journal medicine, those will get heavily scrutinized. if the quack doctor, is publishing the paper in a sketchy magazine(pseudoscience) then there isnt much you can do against the paper. Or if hes putting up on his own blog, or another site, yea that isnt a source or evidence, and the bad thing is many low information people often believe blog sites.
