@@wp2312 before going vegan he was told to stop fiber, fruits with seeds, acidic fruits, nuts and grits. Now he has loads of fiber, everyday he has a pint of smoothie, with 20g flaxseed, 15g milled chia, strawberries, apple, banana, mixed berries and lemon. There are seeds and skin from the fruits left in the smoothie even after blending it. Then he normally has a veg soup that I make. Sweet potato, potatoes, leak, chickpeas, onions, carrots, garlic, peas, spinach and kale. Since he stopped the meat , dairy and eggs hes like a new man.

This man has saved so many lives. He deserves a Nobel prize. When I switched to a whole food plant based diet at 58 years old I knew that what this man is saying is true. At 71 years old now I am healthier than I was at 30 years old. No pain and no pills. It is so sad that that more doctors are not trained in this knowledge.

[@annemccarron2281]

Why do people say WFPB physicians deserve the Nobel Peace Prize? I hear that over & over. Not only is it not origional, it is incorrect. The prize usually goes to a new discovery that the scientific research community was unaware of until the researcher discovered it. Dr. McDougall was fantastic - a generous man who contributed much to society, yet I don't think he deserved the Nobel prize.

It’s great to read all of the comments from people who have experienced life changing health benefits. I too, have turned my health around radically by simply eating starch/whole-food/plant based. No animal products, no processed foods, dairy or added sugars. What a game changer this has been for me. Lower heart rate & blood pressure, no more pains, sustainable weight loss, no cravings, more energy, sleeping better and generally feeling great. This should be taught to all front line general practitioners around the globe.

[@WDWmommy]

Wow, I wanted to become an RN at one time. I worked a Candy Striper and a CNA. I saw what the nurses did. They passed meds and charted about it all shift. I had to report any ill effects for the nurses. The residents suffered with different side effects, even nausea or vomiting and I also had to let the next shift know. Some of the residents even refused to take their meds because of how they made them feel and they weren't all dementia residents. So I decided to stay a CNA/HHA/PTC, helping care for the residents and trying to keep them comfortable after the meds. Thanks again doctor for the book and the video.

[@pallavisingh62]

Depends on your genes. Vitamin D is metabolised in three different stages. Depending on how close your genes are to the equator, the second and third stages of the metabolism vary in efficiency. If your ancestors lived near the equator, you will not make Vitamin D very effectively. Dark skin in Canada? A ship wreck without supplimentation. Northern genes + supplementation? Long term toxicity.

Drs have been trying to find out what my illnesses are with a confirmation that I have RA/OA and fibromyalgia. To be honest I’m not even sure that’s what I have. I definitely don’t want to put drugs in my system, but at this point if I don’t I can’t even function daily and I’m in a lot of pain. I guess what I’m wondering is if this way of eating could help someone like me and if anyone else is struggling. Is there a certain things I should be eating or vitamins I should be taking? I wish I had Dr McDougall at my fingertips lol he’s so very knowledgeable!

[@susanshopsabout943]

Please address our ancestors didn’t eat 3x or more a day. They often had to go some days without food because they had to hunt for it. Today incorporating delayed eating times is good … every 6 months or so fasting for 24 to 48 hours is healthy. Honestly, how else can we lose our fat. Solution is very difficult to do if we constantly keep feeding every day.

[@Kristers_K]

As always, quality information from McDougall, 73 years and still a healthy badass :) Plant based ftw, if only more people ate as properly as he does, unlike these social media vegan influencers who fast, drink piss and barely eat.

[@Fearzero]

Fasting is scientifically proven to extend healthspan.

[@Kristers_K]

@@Fearzero For very short periods on occasion under strict supervision if necessary under certain health conditions, but otherwise the benefit is small and insignificant if you eat whole foods plant based, most importantly fresh produce full of anti oxidants.

[@Fearzero]

@@Kristers_K Any studies that back that claim up?

[@Kristers_K]

@@Fearzero You are yet to provide yours, i don't recall a single health benefit from starving your body of fuel.

[@sunnygirl87]

@@Kristers_K I did intermittent fasting, lost gaboodles of weight. It triggered an old eating disorder. Zoiks!

[@getoutsidenow420]

Plant based diet reduced my chronic inflammation big time, now i be training my abs when im not lazy, walking with all trails, love it, and i love lentil curry concoctions as a staple, dont be all OCD just take baby steps, peace! The body adjusts to legume flatulence once the microbiom develops the proper bacteria from regular legume consumption, you wont be a gas bag in time

[@smallfootprint2961]

I could listen to this often, and do. I've heard it many times, and am inspired every time. Thank you Dr. McDougall for being there when I needed help. I was like a lot of people; knew better, and mostly did it but slipped around a lot. Now, I see the benefit of jumping in with both feet, but still need the encouragement. Thanks for saving my life.

[@CindyKrenik]

It hurts to hear that they lost everything, including their beloved cat. Dr. MCdougle will be dearly missed.

[@ruggertictac526]

Thank you Dr McDougall💚

[@cynthiagaudino9272]

AWESOME information....Thank you so much ❤

[@LisaMurphy]

Well he is limping and breathing really hard. I would never go on a vegan diet because vegans seem to get a lot of osteoporosis and fractures. I think the ideal diet includes some meat, tho obviously junk food has no place in anyone's diet.

[@peejm1424]

I don't believe in starch either. Starch turns to sugar, sugar causes cancer.

[@peejm1424]

Different diets for different people.

[@NeoZen888]

​@@peejm1424the science Dr. McDougall shows is that oil causes cancer; not sugar.

Greetings: Dr. John, I truly appreciate you so much! I want you to know, how did you get vitamin B12? Stay blissful daily & peace for now.💚✅😊🔋

[@evlredsun]

"what your doctor isn't telling you" ironically my doctor told me to check out your videos... maybe because i don't live in the us, and doctors tend to give more of a shit about their patients under public health care, instead of insurance bonuses in the US.

[@Constructology]

Thank you

I’m so happy to hear him speak again.

[@samsam060402]

The guy had me in the first half. To recommend grain is not bad in principle, oil is not needed by humans, but humans need nutrients. And to demonize food supplements is guaranteed the wrong approach to a vegan diet. Vitamin D no longer causes bone fractures, the test subjects were all old and received over 100,000 Iu (if I remember correctly) in one shot. This gave them such a surge of energy in the next few days that they went out much more and thus had statistically more accidents. But the vitamin d per se was not responsible for that. Dr. Greger has analyzed this study. It is true that one should not take vitamin a, e, beta carotene as a food supplement but a solid dose of about 3-5k iu of vitamin d and at least 50mcg of methylcobalamin should be taken by every vegan. In addition, according to his diet, there will eventually be problems with calcium, zinc and vitamin e. You need nuts for a balanced vegan diet, not only if you want to gain weight. You can certainly live for a year, but at some point the body has no strength without the missing minerals and vitamins.

[@Sunnysue31]

Ahhhhhhhh was 100% on board and will follow most of what's been said... But having viewed most of the peer-reviewed publications on the importance of Vitamin D supplements (Much has been done recently with connection to Covid)... I can't accept dear Dr McDougalls take on this... But everything else is brilliant :-)

Why, then, are you commenting on this video? Good for you for finding what works for you! But why come over here to be critical? I just don't get it.

[@Arnsteel634]

@ because I’m sick of these videos showing up on my KZbin page when I open the app. And I hate doctors that promote plant based diets.

[@ConsciousBrosCommunity]

Thankfulness for the information provided :)

[@georgemcconnell5405]

It is way harder for me not to drink alcohol than to eat healthy. I can imagine though, how that could easily be the other way around.

[@Combinationlock]

I can see plant based nutrition and the vegan lifestyle is treating McDougall incredibly well.

[@redpillcanucklofi]

Great review...very indepth! This was like reading the manual but more fun :) Do people even read manuals anymore though...lol. Great job on your video :)

[@GreenpetesWorld]

Fascinating and cogent presentation; thankyou.

[@george480]

How the hell these super renowned MDs are giving this info away for free. These are not some guru pretend bullshiters, they are actual scientists and practitioners. And yet still so many of us, including me at times just walk past this knowledge. Although since he has a few national bestsellers, so not all is lost.

[@MistMonkey]

Most ov the vegans are pretend bullshiters, cause the vegan diet is a high carb lie.
