Dr. Paul Mason - 'Trust Issues: How Bad Science Sells Drugs'

[@craftycalley]

If Dr.Paul Mason is talking, I’m listening. I’ll never forget his bar chart, where he said no, I haven’t missed something out.

[@alex9046]

the one about fiber?

[@rave1704]

This was the only case where I couldn't find any evidence in my personal life for this finding

[@just_me8796]

That was awesome, wasn’t it? 59 years I suffered and docs kept telling me to take more Metamucil though I kept trying but it made everything worse!

[@anthonychaffeemd]

Great video!

[@katetuhoro4623]

Dr Paul Mason is my ‘Guru’. I’ll listen and read anything he puts out there. I never get tired of going over his content. I really appreciate that he doesn’t talk quickly, instead he deliberates, giving his audience time to process what he saying.

[@AllThingsConsidered333]

Agreed!

[@MrSojek]

Search for confirmation elsewhere, trusting only one source can't be misleading.

[@marcjames3487]

Clarity, Eloquence and a soupcon of Humour make Dr Masons' lectures a perfect human diet.

[@larsbitsch-larsen6988]

As a doctor I totally agree. Big pharma doesn't care about people, they only care about revenue. There is very little difference between the industry of illegal drugs and the industry of legal drugs. But aside from that, in medicine, there are still a lot of myths in health issues. This is also a large industry in it self. I like the the phrase " experts and expertise is all about the person, not the subject."

[@Recordesk]

Well put. Thanks for your comment

[@T-aka-T]

Love that you stated your credential right up front ... 😏

[@roxanne2977]

I’ll forever love low carb down under and Paul mason. I’m sure this is genius true and needs to go into the truth algorithm. ❤

[@jimwilson5202]

This is a great doctor that tell the truth in many videos. Great doctor!!!!!

[@mvot966]

Look no further for rational, analytical medical truth-telling than Dr Paul Mason, my favorite down under hero!

[@AnneMB955]

Dr. Paul is always the voice of reason. Believable and knowledgeable.

[@monnoo8221]

he is a very unique person, great to have him on this planet !!!

[@Alecmcq]

Dr Paul, you mention trust… alas, all trust is gone. All of it. It becomes very uncomfortable when you can’t trust any politicians, governments, scientists, academics, medical authorities, doctors, doctors societies, police forces, big businesses, small businesses, insurance companies, hospitals, all main stream media, or scientific journals. We live in information-rich times. Alas, that leads to loss of trust when you see what’s really going on.

[@jasoncee666]

My trust in everything in life has been so abused my soul will ache until I depart this life 💔😢

[@nadja8620]

Dr. Paul Mason is the best! It’s easy to listen to him and his speeches are so well put together, it’s also easy to follow :)

[@sandramorton5510]

Dr. Paul Mason is brilliant. Keep encouraging a change.

[@cynthiasymons]

As someone who taught statistics and research methods for 30 years, I have long known that a great many people cannot interpret research findings-particularly those who report it in the media. What has become very clear to me in the last few years is that most doctors I meet cannot do so either. They don’t know statistics (I had an optometrist, who, when I asked him to interpret my scores on one of my tests told me that he didn’t do well in statistics class!) and they don’t even look at research findings, much less know how to interpret them. They take the path of least resistance and use protocols given them, and treat you like you are ignorant if you question them. It is a very, very scary world to me, when it comes to medicine. What is the use of having “evidence-based medicine” if the so-called experts don’t know what to do with it?

[@Richard-Smith-Nutrition]

Another great presentation

[@magsrankin6166]

Thanks much, Paul. Elucidating and insightful as usual.

[@niceadz6164]

Dr Paul Mason is fantastic. I've learned so much from him.

[@stephenarkless9444]

All in all what this boils down to is…..MONEY! They don’t care about you or your health

[@kateabbott7919]

This is such a brilliant video! It should be compulsory viewing for every human being!

[@rowandowland1391]

On the same day I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes I was told I could go blind and lose a leg so I needed to take a statin and insulin. I took neither. Instead I researched the cause of the disease and took the advice of people like Paul Mason and his other low carb colleagues. A decade on I continue to be in remission and Ive never taken a statin and never taken insulin. For the sake of his patients I hope the Professor of Cardiologist who posted his insults of Paul Mason catches on some day

[@Lamz..]

Fabulous talk about horrendous practices. Here's 'science' for you. Well done, Paul!

[@peterbedford2610]

We can all get CAC and CIMT scans to get an accurate indication of our arterial health. As well as blood glucose meters readings. Measurements are a critical part of evaluation and analysis.

[@williamh5103]

Yes very much so, fasting insulin, c- peptide as well

[@margaretgibbs1007]

What a great talk. It must have taken a huge amount of time and work and effort to put it all together. Thanks!

[@paulchristian8271]

Is it about money, or about population control? People seem to underestimate the evil involved.

[@williamh5103]

A wonderful overview and illustrates how medical science even when done as it should be, is constantly changing! Horrifying to think of how many medical papers are flawed. A real challenge to find information that reflects the truth as our knowledge stands at this moment in time.

[@standom2390]

This lecture is long overdue. Thx dr Mason.

[@MartinFALLS-j4d]

Thank you for the concluding statement about taking more responsibility for our own health. I see areas we can act on as individuals. 1. Do what YOU can as in diet, exercise, sleep, getting off tabacco & alcohol etc 2. We have access to a vast array of information through the internet. Use it to inform yourself. 3. Learn obout your body and what it is made up of. eg. Your brain is mostly cholesterol. 4. Teach yourself to think in logical paterns that connect all the dots of information you can line up in a logical manner. 5. Find out about how various medications actually work with and against your body's natural systems, not just the illness it is meant to treat.

[@T-aka-T]

Yes, thank you. And 6 "Don't rely on naive notions of leadership in politics to bring about change". (That one is for the USA for now, but ultimately all of us. It has to be bottom-up change, not "out of the frying pan into the fire" stupidity.)

[@geosochi]

1:48 You shouldn't hide the shame of Dr Alo...

[@Alecmcq]

Alo is a complete clown. Zero credibility.

Serrapeptase: We analyzed the inflammation and changes in the aorta by H&E staining. SOD, MDA, and GPx levels were determined as per the instructions of the kit protocols. ELISA was used to measure the levels of interleukins, whereas immunohistochemistry was carried out for the evaluation of MCP-1 expression. SRP treatment significantly suppressed vascular inflammation in BALB/c mice. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that SRP significantly inhibited the LPS-induced production of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-2, IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α in aortic tissue. Furthermore, it also inhibited LPS-induced oxidative stress in the aortas of mice, whereas the expression and activity of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) decreased after SRP treatment. In conclusion, SRP has the ability to reduce LPS-induced vascular inflammation and damage by modulating MCP-1.

[@TheRadischen]

been waiting forever for paul

[@toni4729]

That Aussie health eating guide has been around for years, and it's lousy. I took a photo of that years ago. I still have it.

[@XaqNautilus]

Thank you Dr. Paul Mason. You are a legend.

[@scottjones6624]

magnificent overview

[@pointshealthcoaching8474]

This info is on point. I grieve my own ignorance for decades... & continue to observe the same ignorance that permeates this modern world.

[@CynCopeland-TheAnswerIsMeat]

Certainly one of Paul's 'best'! Into the pot of dank stew, alongside BigAg, BigFood, BigPharma, may I include one more ?? 'BigResearch' Up there with 'if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears, did it make a noise' we can add 'if a Research paper is published with the help of BigFood, BigAg, BigPharma - does it have any credibility at all??'

[@lessmith3799]

I can't agree that systematic reviews and meta-analyses are worthwhile. The choice and categorization of the costituent studies is always subject to the opinion of the researchers. Will any researcher rate highly a study they disagree with? Thus a meta-analysisis a very efficient confirmation bias amplifier. It's especially important to disregard the meta-analyses you agree with.

[@gerrywaneck377]

RCTs can only control for known variables even when the data are sound. Having mortality as an endpoint controls for unknown variables as well as unknown interactions between known variables.

[@sadtosuccess]

I wonder how old that surviving rat is? I have pet rats and they generally only look that old and bedraggled after about 3yrs and significant illness, and most rats don't live to be 3yrs old! That was one exceptionally sick (I doubt it was old) rat! Even if they all survived if they looked like that it should give anybody who knows anything about rats (and scientist working with them should) cause for concern.

[@Astronurd]

Thank you Paul.

[@cherylking1459]

Still chuckling over the chameleon in a bowl of skittles. And the cat sitting on the bent roof from other videos. Thank you, Dr. Mason, for sharing your intelligence and sense of humor.

[@cherylking1459]

Oh, wait. There's the kitty again in this video, too. :)

[@sarahb.6475]

Those people are evil for injecting those poor ratties with that stuff! Years ago I had pet hooded rats. They don't live very long. They are lucky if they get 2 years.

[@rockymountainwoman2618]

Great analysis!

[@davidelang]

randomized trials also have the risk of what pool the people who are in the trial are drawn from. are they all male college athletes? Are all the females in the study on birth control? are any females pregnant? how participants are overweight, diabetic, etc? There are lots of ways that randomized trials can be far less random than they should be.

[@BeatrizHatfield-vc4ig]

Brilliant. Using carnivore diet to support healing while hyperbolically tapering off psychotropic drugs, after iatrogenic harm.

[@btudrus]

The problem with Mendelian "randomization" is that it proves that there is a causal relationship BUT it cannot prove what causes what. In Mendelian 'randomization' the Genes are 'randomized' but never the variable you are interested in and it is only assumed that gene causes directly this variable which then causes the outcome but there is no proof and cannot be. In most cases you even don't know what the genes actually do you just statistically infer that there must be some genes which cause something else...

[@darinl848]

my previous doctor said he didn't care what my numbers were, because i'm a type 1, he wants me to take a statin.

[@toni4729]

I hope you fired him.

[@wmfami]

4:47 These are the _current_ Australian food guidelines... they are barely better than the decades-old Food Pyramid. I am surprised that the current Canada Food Guide is better than the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating. Australia is superior to Canada when it comes to food production.

[@standom2390]

It’s about profit making, the politics follows. As old Marxists would say: the structure (economics) defines the superstructure (policies, politics, laws and so on).

[@JYAN2852]

That is Dr Alo cardiologist who is a joke hung up on cholesterol and statins

I know it was him. Haha

[@stevelanghorn1407]

All this may be completely true, but the problem for the vast majority of people today is "Who do we trust for our nutritlonal health advice?". Both Dr Alo and Dr Mason have a degree of "vested interest" and possibly career-focused financial incentives for promoting their principals and methods. Both reference scientific research fiindings that align with their beliefs and practice. Caught somewhere in the middle is a confused and possibly misled population!

[@PhillippeduPoisson]

It isn't a matter of trust - Dr Mason provides tools to assess research and medical claims, he is saying you have to take responsibility for your own health. There is genuine research, we each need to be able to work it out ourselves and not rely on the *views* of Dr Alo, nor those of Dr Mason without our own investigation.

[@Sp1n3c]

Carnivore diet works short term. No carnivores in their 90s doing if for 30 + yeras....

[@matthiaspriester2368]

But there is one of 82 years doing it for 65+ years and doing exceptionally well. Carnivore is not that mainstream for that long of a time so if course cases are limited. Maybe there will be more data in 20 - 30years time.

[@williamh5103]

Inuits, Mongolians do keto for their lifetime! No carbs! Unless they eat the devils western food full of carbs!

[@OGPedXing]

On the contrary, there are several multi generational human populations in which the members live to a ripe old age and have objectively better health outcomes than a standard western diet. (Low or non existant cancer, heart disease, and diabetes..)

[@MrSojek]

Great elimination diet, not very much useful for people going to gym and doing heavy lifts.

[@petertownsend252]

Maggie White, 83 year old rancher and mother of 10 from Canada has been on a carnivore diet for 66 years. She is arguably the healthiest and fittest 83 year old on the planet.
