Just listening to you guys talking (NOT your accents, but the content of your presentation) I was sure that you weren’t American. Republican American doctors are incapable of talking in such a manner.: light, humorous and yet very serious and caring at the same time. American doctors are Republicans because of the nature of the health care system. As an American who has lived in France for 2 decades, I’ve noticed that the personalities of doctors are completely different because of the health system. Long-live France ! ! ! Long-live Canada ! ! ! When can us Californians join the UNited States of Canada? Until that time, I will stay in France.
for those of you that think these two know about turmeric, guess again. they look this stuff up online just like you do. the problem with md’S giving alternative suggestions is they never learned this in college, which might be a plus, so the only other place is the internet. Problem with this is it’s not their field. so its like dr oz telling you how much magnesium to take. he has no freaking clue. so he reads up and you jokers think oh, a dr told me. that’s insanity. An AYURVEDIC DR KNOWS TURMERIC, THESE BOYS DO NOT.
DON’T TRUST THE SCIENCE, TRUST YOUR GUT.
Thank you Doc’s very good information
America doctors know nothing about food or nutrition. Or cannabis. We should change that problem. Oh right, you can’t make billionaires in profit off of really helping people with disease. I mean, you wouldn’t want to cure them that is for sure! No money in cures. Greed demands a lifetime prescription for drugs with side effects so you need other drugs to treat the side effects, endless surgeries, insanely priced medical devices and treatments that don’t even help with symptoms that much. This is not a healthy healthcare system. We simply do not have a healthcare system in the USA. We have a greed maximizing disease exploitation system.
