Is the Healthcare System Designed to Keep You Sick? | Dr. Casey Means

[@kf8045]

I had a mental breakdown due to severe work stress eight years ago. I wasn’t sleeping and my doctor prescribed an antidepressant and it made it worse. Way worse! After not sleeping for three weeks I started hallucinating. Then they diagnosed me with bipolar at 56 years old and said I would have to take bipolar medication for the rest of my life. After quitting the stressful job, and then getting a better job a year later, I got much better. I weaned myself off the meds, and am back to normal. I didn’t have bipolar, just severe stress. This and subsequent experiences have opened my eyes to the corrupt, inept medical system.

[@judyvaughn761]

I lost two of my younger sisters to all the drugs that the medical system gives out they said they had bipolar I think they were just very depressed and stressed but I don't think they really care

[@HopefulEmpath]

I’m so sorry about your breakdown. I don’t want to get into details, but I had a similar situation from working 60-70 hour weeks. Dx with major depression and tried tons of meds. It’s not depression. I was/am normal! I watched a documentary a couple weeks ago called “Medicating Normal.” I swear I got all ticked off again, lol!

[@No._1_Karen]

I remember the big bipolar disorder diagnosing craze of the late 1990’s and 2000’s. It came into fashion after the ADHD diagnosing craze started getting tired. Of course, today we are experiencing new, fashionable diagnosing fads for disorders that everyone seems to have. But, yeah…. I was in my early twenties and had met with this psychiatrist for the first time in my life, for around 5 - 10 minutes. He asked me and my mom a couple questions, and I left that day with a brand new diagnosis and about three different medications. No assessment surveys or questionnaires, no measurement tools (diagnostic tools) no bloodwork, no thyroid check, no nutrition panel, no background and psychological history, no questions about current environment (work, relationship, or housing related)…. Just a li’l ten minute diagnosis that “proved” to my narcissistic mother & brother that I was indeed a loser. 😉 Fastfoward to today and I am working on, and very soon will be a licensed professional, who can assess, diagnose, and treat. But I have little faith in the industry now, I feel it is exploitive and just another way to commoditize and exploit people’s ailments, and capitalize on mental health needs.

A large number of Functional Medicine providers do not take insurance, so mostly wealthy people can afford them.

[@nehow-jg4vz]

It isn't that providers don't take insurance, it is that insurance companies don't cover functional medicine...there is no money in it for the insurance company if you heal yourself through food and/or supplements. It is a business for insurance companies to promote medical doctors who prescribe the drugs/meds.

[@believ100]

The functional med doctors charge an arm and a leg and really they don’t have all the answers and they are the smartest business people. They promote their own supplements at astronomical prices. So the poor sick people are stuck between a rock and a hard place!

[@dontatme7]

Another aspect I'd like to add is also that many patients will only seek the level/type of "care" that is authorized by their insurance, meaning that the power that high healthcare costs has in shaping the patient's choice of doctor is apparent... A patient may not opt for a route of care that could be better simply because of their insurance not approving it, and vice versa if their insurance approves a risky healthcare modality (such as chiropractic) it can coax the patient into accepting that level of care since their insurance approved to pay for it

[@PraveenSrJ01]

They also work with poorer patients by giving them payment plans and zero 0️⃣ percent interest financing

His skin has improved, but it still flares up easily. He has asthma, allergies, food allergies & eczema that we have been trying to heal naturally for 4 years. Been working on healing the gut. He has done 2 tiny health gut tests and only has 52% beneficial bacteria in his gut. Could have improved more by now. He was breastfed 15 months, fed an organic diet from the start, & has always been a very active kid (loves soccer, basketball, cross country, & track). I truly believe all of the medical interventions at his “well checks” caused him to get worse and worse (we stopped those at age 6). He mostly eats pasture raised chicken, grassfed beef and pasture raised lamb, veggies & fruits (only berries, pears, apples).

My oldest brother especially was a victim of malpractice where they put in a pancreas stint by two medical students who did it incorrectly and then called it cancer and let him waste away on fentanyl. They neglected to feed or give him IV. And we watched him slowly die for 41 days.

[@dberd9149]

I am so sorry. 😢

[@ClaireCopeland-n6y]

Im sorry also. I had major surgery for stomach ulcers at UT hospital in TN. I cannot get my records nor get barely out of bed 1 year later. I also think they gave me covid vax unaware. They lie and hide. I'm seeking a lawyer

25:45 to 31:25 for the full explanation of a simple food plan for any type of diet: 1. Micronutrients and antioxidants. 2. ⁠Protein. 3. ⁠Fiber. 4. ⁠Omega 3. 5. ⁠Probiotics. Find favorite foods from each group to create a personalized plan that works for you. That’s the gist of it.

[@sylviabryden-stock1695]

It is the same here in the UK. U am healing naturally from burnout - homeopathy and diet plus looking at life balance and God's healing power.. I have been told I should see "a proper doctor"! With a nursing background working with our NHS I see how we are in the pockets of big pharma. I literally than for finding you.

[@maryanneselvey2682]

Thank you for speaking truth!!!!! I have been a nurse for 25 years and was sickened by what I saw. I left my career early because of what I saw.

[@Harvesterain]

Doctors definitely don't know what they're doing anymore. Or, at least, they aren't taught what they need to be taught. Since January I've had issues with my stomach and intestines. Food will sit in my stomach for 12-24 hours, and I'll either throw up the undigested pieces or I'll feel the sphincter in my stomach release after several hours of bloating and discomfort and drain into my intestines. My bowel movements are almost all liquid or semi-liquid. I have lost so much weight I look like skin draped over a skeleton. I weigh less than I did in high school. I have no hunger, no desire to eat and eating most foods causes pain, discomfort or vomiting. I'm vomiting 1-5 times a day. Every doctor I've been to has pawned me off to someone else. "I don't know what's wrong with you" or "that's beyond my scope" or they will only listen partly to what you say and ignore the rest. Then you wait 1-4 months to see another specialist. It's weird because most of them don't want to do any testing now, when before it was that they wanted to do excessive testing. I am literally starving on less than 600 calories a day and no one feels any sort of urgency or concern. I feel like I live in weird alternative universe where doctors don't know anything and won't do anything. I do not trust them, especially ER doctors and nurses.

[@rachellenale]

I’m sorry you’re going through this.. I don’t trust them either. I almost had an unwanted pregnancy because my doctor prescribed me a migraine pill that interacts with birth control and makes it less effective. She prescribed the birth control too so there’s really no excuse for it. So I got a new doctor. My main thing is needing medication for my migraines. This new doctor had me doing all kinds of testing and imaging for my thyroid and had me worried sick. (The ultrasound was normal btw) She wanted me to see a specialist and tried to pick one out for me. I said no and I ended up seeing a specialist I wanted to see. Long story short, this endocrinologist told me I had nothing wrong with my thyroid and the reason for one of my thyroid levels to be elevated was because of the birth control pill that I’m taking.. this incompetent doctor also had me taking a supplement for no reason that also caused me to become very sick. You have to be careful with holistic doctors too.

[@sheilacoon3129]

You should find a functional medicine doctor to get to the root of your issues.

[@sassysandie2865]

Contact Dr. Pam Popper of The Wellness Forum. She specializes in gut issues.

[@layinlow77]

Wow that sounds terrible. I'm sure Dr. Axe would have some recommendations. I've also listened some to this channel on yt called "Kick it Naturally" that seems to focus mainly on the types of issues you talk about. From what i've heard from that, it sounds like part of your problem could have to do with bile production or movement. They offer a whole course on digestion. Anyway, i would try to find a holistic Dr. that specializes in gut health. Best wishes!

[@JESUSisGODourSAVIOUR]

Did you take any Antibiotics prior to this sad happening with your Health ?.......If so, that was the Cause..... You need to load you body with Prebiotics and Probiotics. Drink only Distilled Water....Learn about Magnesium Oil . Eat only Non GMO Organic Food.....Find out if you have any Parasites living in you .

[@overcomer5574]

The knowledge and wisdom Dr. Casey is equipped with is truly impressive! I can only imagine the time she has poured into obtaining the knowledge she has. Thank you Dr. Axe for hosting such an amazing guest! I truly felt educated on how to help my body heal and obtaining optimal health! This was a high quality, beneficial conversation and was worth investing my time in! 👏👏👏

[@soleildhiver7396]

The real issue: People enroll in medical school not to help others, not because it is their calling, but rather to make money. For the title and the glory attached to it.

[@mombeaubob]

$$$$$$$$$$$$😢

[@LindaMcNeely-l6l]

My granddaughter is in 1st year residency in family medicine. She really thought it was an honorable profession. I am suggesting she continue in a new direction of functional medicine. 🙏

[@rdallas81]

Isn't that also the reason nasty people get into being in porn?.

[@sophiam9886]

I have a younger cousin who just got her MD and the whole family is so excited. I've just been quiet because I refuse to kiII her spirit by poo-pooing on her dreams. It really makes me sad, though.

[@touchofclassfun6984]

Exactly !

[@SusanDaschner]

Thank you both.

[@mistergarrett8175]

Being active is also important because it keeps your lymphatic system/lymphatic fluid moving which is what gets rid of all of the waste from your cells.

[@alpha7ization]

Thanks Dr Means for your message. I can relate to the last part of your talk concerning our fears....Jesus says Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. The world needs this rest more than ever before

[@karenbaucom2078]

I wish Casey would be our President. Can you imagine?!? Her clear understanding, thinking and explaining - and her respect and professionalism - would be life changing for us in America!!

[@allison471]

Her brother Calley is just as amazing 😊

[@karenbaucom2078]

Yes I agree!! I am amazed at their honesty and logical thought process - and how kind and humble they both are!

[@blazingarrows6117]

Changes I have made. Starting to lose stubborn weight gain. Avoiding as much carbs, limiting the veggies, very few fruits, switching to more beef, eventually I want to be only eating meat and veggie ferments, which I feel the best on. I feel better when I only have beef. I do not keep a food journal and do not count calories.

[@mickieharrell2247]

Great video...much needed. Thanks Guys

[@tammywade3649]

Help me heal my cells! Obesity, fatty liver, diabetes, PCOS, hypothyroidism, sleep apnea, rheumatoid arthritis, emphasema. I'm 60, is it too late for me?? I've started walking 3 miles a day 3 x a week. It's tough for me but I'm doing it!

[@curiouskitten]

Never too late. Keep learning .

[@emilymiller1792]

Have you changed your diet? Gotten rid of processed food (even bread, at least temporarily)?

[@Neo_Red_Pill]

Completely agree. As an aging person of 67 my goal is to stay away from the doctor and medications and looking for disease to eat a whole food plant based diet and exercise and keep socially and psychologically well.🙏

[@andrewvanoort8539]

Immediately makes me think of the book Bad Therapy which was a phenomenal read with excellent points

[@dianahuarneck5849]

I have been saying that for quite sometime now i so glsd that these two Doctors are saying the same...its a big chain of money😢 really awful with so many illnesses going on and on😡 thank you Dr Axe bless you.

[@celiahoover4317]

Thank you for saying the truth

[@susansmith9486]

Fantastic interview! The information in this video is invaluable for everyone on the trip to improved health. A big thank you. Both of these people are truth seekers in the medical industry. Unfortunately truth is a rare commodity in big medicine/big food/pharmaceuticals/etc.

[@brendaspurlock5751]

Excellent episode and guest! Thank you!

[@healthynutritionfithealthy3090]

Great information😊Thank you❤

[@ranakhader2816]

Wow this is so true and amazing!

[@mothertreasa]

What a helpful conversation, thank you both!

[@danpszeniczny9664]

All by design.

[@rdallas81]

Lol. It is, and it isn't

[@jennypennylane5851]

Not surprised.

[@rivinesh4566]

Wow Dr Means enlightened my path today! My hope is for more brave physicians like her stop the corruption ASAP. It's such a blessing to learn this today 🙌🏻

[@lindabell6954]

Excellent conversation! This is the most important health information we need to think about. Thank you for this video.

[@rossentownsend4936]

Your guest is more hemispherically balanced then most people in Western culture.Dr Casey has a way of presenting truth in a holistic form that is more on point then any influencers I've come across in the past 13 years. You can see in her face the reactions to the thoughts passing through her mind as her colleagues share thier wisdom. She applies gustalt principles and frames wholes that are greater than the sum of their parts. A real gem!

[@harrytinker2328]

Our health is one ball of wax, so to speak. I too believe it is often somewhat dangerous to look to the current medical system for wellness because of their limited and narrow view of the whole person as well as their reliance on drugs to fix things. It does take courage to get this message out; thank you!

[@christineweston5242]

I enjoyed that message so much! Thanks to you both!

[@DavidC-rt3or]

Troubleshooting 101 finding what is in common of all the symptoms to then treat the root cause, not manage and treat the end symptoms.

[@HopefulEmpath]

Apparently, most doctors forgot how to treat that way or they changed the curriculum as pharma got it’s claws into the medical system.

[@roger236]

Dr. Casey is an enlightened being! 🧘‍♀️

[@lynnritchie231]

Or people could just take responsibility for their own health via diet and exercise........

[@greenkitty82]

Absolutely. It's your body and noone knows how to care for it better then you. Trouble is we are conditioned to abdicate that power over to someone else.

[@sharons.4590]

Try exercising with congestive heart failure.....see how you feel!

[@sharons.4590]

Try exercising with CHF and see how you do!

[@targetguy777]

Same thing i have been saying with all the processed foods and sugar no wonder so many diabetes patients.

[@Jose-jb8xo]

Thank you Dr. Axe 🌹🌹

[@nas6315]

Basically, whatever the medical profession tells you do the opposite. It’s time people took ownership of their health. Diet and exercise are so important.

[@kath.9505]

Dr. Axe and Dr. Casey, I want a doctors just like you!!!!!

[@trixiec4880]

As some who works in healthcare yes, it is designed to make the maximum profits and that means they need to create high numbers of patients who need all kinds of services and meds. So, when you go for your annual screenings, just be aware of that and get second opinions always.

[@violelowndes7992]

Wow love this so great to know all this what your speaking about of metabolic health. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@terencesingerline135]

Thank you Dr Axe and Dr Means for your truth about our current health care system..It is so obvious to so many people that they are being exploited and their personal health is not addressed..

[@LindaMcNeely-l6l]

Dr Axe you have convinced me. I was sick 11/8/23 until today 5/2/24 cough, kept getting worse every week. By Christmas I had pneumonia, sinus infection, ear infection, fluid behind both eardrums. In calling my PCP I got 4 appointments w my doctor’s PA. Every time I went the response was “well you need another antibiotic.”😢Last time I said “No” Instead Rx for steroids along with musinex and allegra. I said NO to that. I asked to be referred to Pulmonary. My dx Bronchiectasis. Now new meds, new approach. Next appt is with Integrative dr in my area. I am ready!!!

[@di4085]

I listened to a doctor who said that if you have a continous cough that it's usually sinus drainage from a sinus infection. You can get a neti pot and use salt water or try Seagate olive leaf nasal spray. And definitely get some pro-biotics.

[@tomjones2348]

So true, Dr. Means. My brother was an ER doc. He totally bought into the system of big pharma. He died at age 52....on 13 different meds. Just insane.
