Dr Klaper you are still my hero whom I respect and admire .

[@Veganvipassi]

We're sorry that you had to go through that. Even when we disagree with each other there is no need to be mean or rude. We love you! Oh, my!

[@RafaelbySuzannah]

I love you Dr Klaper! I hired you before I hired Andrew Taylor and you both really helped me! I know that you are full of integrity and genius you're really really intelligent and your video on walking down the supermarket aisle when cookies callouts who is one of my favorites! I thought Andrew Taylor's response was really excellent. He is my coach and I have lost 40 pounds and maintain a 40 pound weight loss. White potatoes are big part of my diet although not my entire diet and my blood work is excellent now that I've lost all the weight. I was surprised by your video but I know how awesome you are and how much integrity you have so I'm really pleased to see this response and I'm so sorry that people hurt you and you lost followers I wish they would watch this KZbin and re-subscribe. Your video just shows what a great human being you are as well as great doctor and how compassionate and understanding you are!

[@mreverydaylife259]

Thank you Dr. Klaper, your voice is needed, necessary, and appreciated in the plant based community. It's unrealistic to expect everyone will be happy with the every message or that anyone will be absolutely perfect. I imagine a percentage of people having trouble with potatoes are cooking them with oil, putting fatty sauces like ranch on top of them, or worse case scenario "loaded" with bacon & cheese. Side note: I've heard you voice direct opposition to people who typically use the words "cancel culture". If it isn't a wish to be aligned with their way of thinking, I'd reframe from using the term.

[@elisonlau2076]

Dr.Klaper dont worry about what people say . Focus on the science. Thats important.

Wow people want to fight you over potatoes?!? Calm down people. Use your own discernment in food choices anyway. You're awesome Dr Klaper

[@SpudFit]

Thanks Dr Klaper, always appreciate your work. You’ve helped me and my family so much over the years. Especially raising young vegan kids I’ve always looked to you to make sure we are on the right path with them. Keep up the great work!

[@ladyjennyver6303]

I was one that asked a sincere question on the last video as I was confused. Thank you for clarifying, it makes sense now. I am sorry you were hurt by rude comments. You don’t deserve that at all. I am very grateful for this channel and the information you give us. Subscriber forever :)

[@joyceruddy584]

I am sorry there were so many intensely negative reactions. You are so kind and gracious in sharing your considerable knowledge. Thank you!

[@Matt-je1ck]

Your a great man Dr. Klaper how wonderful and kind you are truly. It fills me with such sadness that anyone would be malicious towards you for expressing a nuanced caveat that you’ve witnessed with your decades worth of experience in medicine utilising plant based diets. You have the clinical experience and have seen discrepancies with certain patients and we’d do well to respect that. Much love from Ireland x

[@dianakendall5769]

Truth be told, Dr. Klaper, you are the one plant-based physician that I most truly respect and your discussion on the white potato was very clear to me. I listen to and do respect all of the plant-based physicians but put all of the thoughts about nutrition into perspective. Though knee-jerk reactions to tightly held beliefs will surface on occasion, don't ever worry that those of us who truly understand will ever disrespect your informed and science-backed recommendations.

[@HenchHerbivore]

Some people can be very silly. I’m so sorry that you had to endure that. For what it’s worth, I for one know you to be a great and caring man, meticulous in what you do. It’s their loss is all I can say. One love, brother

[@straightedgeveganbel2453]

Wow I'm shocked to hear how rude ppl can be, so sorry you were treated like that. But remember there are still a lot of us here and not going anywhere 👍

[@lorihenson7687]

Dear Dr. Klaper, Oh my goodness, I would like you to know that I have the upmost respect for you and how you teach and share in your knowledge of health and wellness with such a common sense approach. Thank you for all that you do! Thank you for your true kindness! In the world we live in today, we need more of You!!!! You truly are a blessing!!!!! You remind me of the kindness I grew up with in my family. Thank you!!!! When we know better we do better. You are a part of knowing better to do better. Food is medicine!♡

[@MrsSmith-vf2vw]

I normally don't comment, I listen and learn, I think the world of you Dr. Klaper, just please don't stop what your doing, cause I love your channel, I personally just try to eat a wide variety of plant food, thank you for what you do!

[@SamMontana2008]

Excellent advice as always. Dr. McDougall, Dr. Klaper and Dr. Esselstyn are the best of the plant-based doctors.

[@stewartwhittier3455]

Still here and not going anywhere Dr. Klaper! Thank you!

[@sandyp9891]

I'm so sad to hear this happened! I don't always look at the comments and had NO idea. I'm a person whose blood sugar levels rise too much after eating basically plain white potatoes and yet it's a food I absolutely crave, so I have to be careful, even though I'm not diabetic. THANK YOU for this. I'm just one person, but I'm still with you, Dr Klaper. I'm 62 and I've lost almost 70 pounds. You have and still continue to teach me a LOT about my health. Thank you again.

[@debveve2839]

I'm still a subscriber. When I saw the potato video I wondered about my own potato intake, but my numbers are good, and I see no reason to personally cut down so I figured I am not in an at-risk group who may do better watching their choices and perhaps cutting down on taters. I think it's good that we can have discussions like these, aside from the vitriol of course. I respect you, Dr. Klaper, for making this video. You do so much to help so many. You do not deserve to be canceled or berated - I am sorry to know this hurt you. But I also know you are imbued with can-do spirit and integrity, and that's why I follow you. Thanks for all the very important work you and your staff do to help people, animals, and our planet.

[@joanie9923]

Dr. Klaper I'm so sorry that this happened to you! I'm still with you and always will be! There are only a handful of doctors in the field of nutrition that I trust and you are at the top of the list! Other spots on the list are occupied by Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Michael Greger, etc. I have no idea what is wrong with folks these days, they are so fast to attack if your opinion differs from theirs in any way. It's really sad to see the anger and intolerance that lives among us these days. Dr. Klaper in my life, you have been a God send and a true blessing! I very much appreciate the very compassionate, selfless, work that you do daily in trying to spread the message of natural health! Thank You Dr. Klaper! Much Love and Deep Respect!

[@kathleenkulp240]

It never fails to amaze me how people feel that the "hidden" nature of the internet gives them license to be rude, ignorant, and disrespectful. You have done such wonderful work! Each and every person is a unique biological entity... and the way each of us reacts to the food and environment has to be considered. Please keep up your wonderful work. It is most necessary.

[@gilpvfin868]

All those negative comments you received are no reflection on you but rather on the viewers who sent those comments. They are so rigid that they can't stomach any differences from their ideology. Keep up the great work you do and pay no attention to those angry people. Of all the people to attack, you were the last person I thought people would target. Conversation and dialogue have apparently been outlawed. The cancel culture is a cancer that is threatening free speech.

[@carolynhill7726]

A few years ago you helped my 19 year old daughter recover from Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome at True North. Because of your clinical expertise and care she was able to return to college and graduate. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for you kindness to her. She lives in London now and lives a normal, healthy life.

Could you give a summary of what they did for your daughter? I also have a tachycardia (PSVT) and wondered if it could be managed or even fixed with diet.

[@carolynhill7726]

@@KudukUngol she went to True North and fasted for about 7 days. She was not able to fast beyond that as her weight was low to start, but even doing that short fast reset her system and she did not have to go back on any of her pharmaceuticals for that condition and she improved to the point where she was able to go back to school. Prior to going to True North the conventional treatment she received had not worked for her.

@@carolynhill7726 What an amazing story! I believe in the healing power of fasting but I've not had any lucky doing it myself and would love the opportunity to do it under supervision at a facility like True North.

I feel for you Doctor. When somebody said they got better nutrition advice from Durian Rider I knew you were in trouble with that potato video. That’s a rough comment.

It was stumbling upon one of your whole food, plant based lectures that persuaded me to completely change my diet. Within a week, I was feeling better than I had felt for awhile. I've now been on a WFPB diet for about 8 weeks and I'm seeing steady improvement all over. I'm finding that now when I get a craving for those things that are NOT FOOD, I think about the things you have said and find the desire fades away. I think of how much better I feel and go grab some celery, carrots, pea pods and smile thinking every bite now contributes to my feeling better. Let the "neggies" (negative commentators) spout what they will, but YOU are the one who finally showed me a way of living that works for me - and I'm ever so grateful.

Shame that you recieved so much negativity.
