At 23 I may not have a fancy car, a big house, heck, even a steady income...but boy am I thankful to have all the information Dr. McDougall has given us!
You are so right, so fortunate, and so wise beyond your years...Remember what Emerson said, "The first wealth is health" You have great wealth in your heart and soul... Congrat's
My John Burkitt is a cousin of Dr. Denis Burkitt. He loves to eat cereal already so he is halfway there. So I am hopeful that in the not too distant future my sweetie will join me in Dr. McDougal's food plan. I have lost eight pounds in about two weeks and feeling good. Thanks Doc and Mary!
This interview contains great knowledge. And, this interview is a wonderful example of how an interview should be conducted. Dr. McDougall never interrupts the interviewee.
I can see why Dr.McDougall was influenced by this highly intelligent and sincere Doctor. It is a gift to us all that gifted Dr.McDougall crossed paths with this amazingly gifted man. I may want to listen to this a few times to make sure I don't miss any life enhancing information.
Only 66,393 views.... There should be 660 Million views. Burkitt was an amazing human and Dr McDougall was so perceptive to get this video.. Kudo's to Dr John.. I love the book FIber Up and also Burkitt Cancer Fiber. Burkitt's life story is an amazing tribute to a true humanitarian
I am so thankful and happy that we were able to come across such a great personality. What a great information! Thanks Dr. Denis Burkitt and Dr. John Mcdougall. This is Gold.
He didn't find any health problems in Africa because they didn't live long enough to get any but the real reason is he was blinking his eyes and twitching so much from eating so much junk like margarine and skim milk he got no real Vitamin A1 which is Retinol. He admitted he had no credentials in nutritional biochemistry.
“The sadness to me (and this particularly concerns the cancer field) is that all the emphasis today is put on diagnosis and treatment of disease, and yet we are never going to reduce any disease by early diagnosis or treatment. The only way you reduce disease (other than infectious disease, by immunization)… is to identify causative factors and reduce causative factors. Yet all the money goes into early diagnosis and treatment….Therapeutic medicine is where the money is.” That comment is so important to remember when thinking about the health of ourselves and other loved ones.
I went and READ about Dr, Burkitt's life...wow.....remarkable.....so GLAD he found out about the FIBER....my dad and brother both died of colon cancer, 1988 and 2010 respectively.....both were depressed and eating total CRAP for foods at the time--they did not CARE anymore...and BOTH former smokers but I believe colon cancer is not heavily linked to cigarette smoking. LOVE my plant-based lifestyle since 2010....at 64, I donate blood regularly, and have ZERO aches or pains and am not on any scrips.
Thanks Dr McD. I worked with Dr Dennis Burkitt's brother, a general surgeon, Dr Robin Burkitt in 1967 at Ashford Hospital in MDDX, UK.He was also a greatly passionate surgeon and a fine human being like his brother. Enjoyed the interview. I also found a copy of Dennis Burkitt's book, "Don't forget Fiber in your Diet" Of course it is a way to stay away from many GI diseases. Thanks again.
Amazing!!!! So happy to see your post. After many years of doing a "lighter side" study of weight loss and health, I found Dr. McD.... and am so heartened to hear stories like yours... Love Dr Burkitt... he story is so fabulous!! We are truly a young society ....dealing with everything that relates to propaganda by Big Food....ugly.. but for people like McD, Esselstyn, Campbell, and a number of great DR's who have put their lives and reputations... and careers on the line... where would we be .. Thanks again for your post Dr Charania
This interview is a treasure. Burkitt is an inspiration. He felt the call to become a physician and serve in Africa. You never know where life will lead. His was a great life and what a witness.
As far as life changing clues.... I agree. Whenever I saw the list of diseases that were rare, unheard of, or didn't exist in Uganda when Dr Burkitt was there. I was speechless for 1/2 an hour. Burkitt changed my life .... and so didn't Dr John
Great man indeed! Thank you Dr McDougall. You've had and continue to have a great influence on my life. After 20 years though being a vegan, just the last month I've come to realize the importance of a low salt diet. My blood pressure is the lowest I've ever known it to be in my life and I'm almost 60. I wish along with learning about meats, dailry and oils, I learned about salt 20 years ago too. Perhaps I wasn't ready.
Dr McDougall knew this information would be lost if he hadn’t filmed it. This and the Nathan Pritikin interview show proof that Dr McDougall can see the future. GREAT THINKING, Dr McDougall 👊🏼
Can't Thank You enough Dr McD for all you have done. I loved this interview... The story about prevention vs high tech cures.....incredible insight !!! Dr Burkitt was an amazing human being... Loved this interview to the moon and back.. TY again Dr M.
What an interesting man! His message is excellent, obviously but I also so enjoyed watching all his mannerisms and listening to his wonderful accent and his pronunciation of “r”. An absolute pleasure to watch and listen to in addition to the expert message! 😊
Thanks for the upload. This gentleman's pioneering of a fiber rich diet had to have had a positive impact on those fortunate enough to be around him. My whole foods plant based diet is likely a modern, and updated version of this diet. Taking out the horrors of processed foods and oils, and saving my body from the torture people put themselves through to indulge in wasteful and meaning less food choices.
i love how he is not imposing his own thoughts and views on the interviewee just giving him stepping stones on what he should talk about next sadly a very rare quality in an interviewer these days
So glad this popped up in my YT feed. Doctors, for the most part today, don't have the opportunity to make observations like these 2 doctors have (also Drs T Colin Campbell and Caldwell Esselstyn). Or, it doesn't occur to them to go beyond what they are taught.
This guy is great....I travel to Africa a lot on business. Everything he says is true. To think you can visit a country where the average person maybe makes $1K a year, yet these look 100x better than Americans says a lot.
I've been very very ill and sick for a very very long time Long story short . Iam massively lowering my fat intake , even the healthy ones for how and massively increasing my fiber intake in lentils and peas and I've got a feeling it's going to save my life Thank you John and this other man To anyone trying this also . Make sure you check the fiber content of your lentils and peas . Buy organic and dry . Soak them 12 hours and then boil . Some have higher fiber than other . A decent type will habe 20+ g of fiber per 100g x
Hi, hope you are well. I've been watching quite a few of dr. Peter Roger's videos on nutrition. He combines the teachings of dr. mcDougall, Burkitt, Pritikin, Kempner etc with his own background in biochemistry (he was first of his year at Stanford). His videos on chronic diseases and what happens on a cellular level are excellent.
Good job friend, remember this "All fat is bad" Nathan Pritikin. The only good fats imho are the short chain fatty acids made by a healthy microbiome which thrives on starches, fiber and polyphenols. Fat consumption is the number one factor in developing cancer per Pritikin.
Dr Burkitt mentions a doctor named Peter Cleave who influenced his thinking. Thomas L Cleave, known to his friends as Peter, had a sister that died of appendicitis at 8. Here's a direct quote from Wikipedia about Dr Cleave "Charles Darwin's writings provided the intellectual framework to Cleave's lifelong engagement with the relationship between diet and health, built upon the premise that the human body is ill-adapted to the diet of modern (western) man".
Amazing that even 30 years ago he even said there's the unfortunate understanding was little money in preventing disease, and diet and lifestyle play a major part in disease prevention.
What a most amazing man! Straight forward advice, shame his hope for the future has not come through. But more people are finding out about diet, thank God for that. Thank you for posting this
Yes, he's like an animated version of Denis Burkitt! But lovely, lovely, amazing man and great interview, just the same. His tics almost punctuate his specialness among humans.
Dr. Denis Burkitt was way ahead of his time in focusing on a low fiber diet as the cause of most of the chronic diseases in the western world. Today, with greater understanding of the human microbiome, we know more about the exact mechanisms that his research could only infer. Unfortunately, most Americans only get about a quarter to a third the fiber they should be eating in their diets. Some things have not changed.
A pioneer of fibre researcher.,and prevention of diseases. His hypotheses ,now proved. But, fibre is only part of equation, for Vegan Lifestyle, which he did not stumble on Veganism.
@@Amanda_downunder They usually do intermittent fasting to get the results, which can be obtained if eating fast food and OMADing. Also, the high fat diet raises cortisol and lowers the immune system causing a feel good honeymoon period in some. Also, don't believe all the hype. I have seen in the last week two carnivore channels admit they were admitted to the hospital on the diet, one is losing her eye to a horrible infection, she is in her 20's and another had to have his appendix out. But they refuse to blame the diet. I have also had several message me and tell me of their hospital experiences on the diet, one had afib and the other lost her ability to walk. Most of it is smoke and mirrors with paid bot comments and fake testimonies.
@@riceisnice444 - ok, thanks. which carn channels mention the people who got ill ? I'm curious. as i used to listen to them. I did not feel or do well on keto or carn diets. Our body is not like a lion or tiger !! lol
@@Amanda_downunder So true, we are more like the great apes which eat a big fruit diet. I feel so bad I can't name the channels. I did that for someone else and TH-cam sent me this nasty cyber bullying warning as if I was sending people over there to bully them, which is 100% not at all what I was trying to do. I left them both what I consider helpful and kind comments, but I did tell them the truth in a nice way. 🥰
It''s sad that this video doesn't have 1,000,000 views. Educational and inspirational vid's like this could become part of the "new" health care plans and be the change we are looking for. Sadly, few people know anything about this path.... People's health would improve dramatically, and they would cease being victimized by food related propaganda.
Trying my best to copy the whole okinawa lifestyle which means not retiring and doing something useful till you die. I like the okinawa diet of herbs like turmeric, sprouts, greens, seaweed, mushrooms, fruit vegetables (bitter melon,squash), roots like sweet potato, beans, fermented food, fruits. Okinawa diet is low fat bec low in seeds/nuts and no dairy like most of asia. In africa, some places use nuts like beans. Okinawa diet also has konnyaku from a root which has almost no calories.
Good interview from Dr Mcdougal and plenty of good sense which still applies today. Sad however that after all these years we are still putting prevention on the back burner or allowing the media to. Perhaps things can change with this more open and free flow of information we know as the internet. Just one thing though margarine instead of butter Wohhh!!
LMAO at his stool (poop) stories, the lengths this man went that nobody considered before, slightly insane but genius too. Amazing foresight, he was right on so many things, slightly off on a few too, he did great work and can claim to have paved the way for follow up work. Good man, thanks for the interview.
This is a great interview. While I do not necessarily agree with every single idea, I totally agree with the general tone. It brings back memories from the time I was at med school at the end of the '70s.
What an amazing life! "More fiber, less fat." He may have been wrong on a couple particulars (margarine instead of butter) but right on almost everything else (fiber, starch, even osteoporosis).
I wonder: if diagnosis and eliminating symptoms is the main part of the medicine today, wouldn't a guide on self diagnosis (through stool, bowel movement frequency, saliva and urine pH etc) be the lever which would free up the resources of the pharma and medical world to start working in prevention or even cure of cause instead?
So in 2023, we spend 18% of our gnp on operations and almost none on prevention. We have all these brilliant,rich, educated people in charge and no one understands the power of food.
Dr Burkitt reminds me of myself, very intelligent very eloquent and he has an obvious tic disorder, I have Tourettes syndrome, people tell me it's not even noticable, (it is to me) people like that are my heroes.
I always knew my dumps where telling me about the appropriateness of my diet. When I eat lots to lentils beans and chickpeas my dumps Come out effortlessly and clean and nearly odorless. Lots of meat and it’s the opposite. Hard, sometimes painful and smells like well …
He admitted he had no credentials in nutritional biochemistry so to him margarine and shortening which are loaded in trans fats were healthy. And with his eyes twitching and nervous behavior shows he was eating a junk food diet.
So, the more fiber, the less processed food. So stay away from processed food, and remember, the dangers of processed seed oils fit the bill as well. Processed foods are primarily made of processed sugar, processed oil, and processed grains.
I have never been to any african country but my guess is africans are not crazy about margarine. It can be hard for some people give up applying margarine or butter on bread/grains/corn. I prefer sprouted grains rather than processed food like bread and other powdered products.
I appreciate all you've done for myself and so many. After a lifetime of chronic indigestion, constipation, and so on, I started eating more fiber about 10 years ago, and slowly all my symptoms went away, almost entirely. However after watching this video, I'm wondering if 35gms of fiber daily is enough. When he says some cultures consume over 100gms/daily, I'm thinking "How?" I eat almost a vegan diet of about 2000 calories, how can a person get 1gm of fiber for every 20 calories?
It's pretty trivial to get that number up if your calorie-dense foods are also fiber-dense. Black beans, for example, seem to be reported with fiber contents of 1g:20cal to 1g:14cal. Collards are 1g:10cal or so, apples are a hair worse than 1g:20 and bulgur is around 8g:150
that might be hyperbole probably they have grams of fiber looks like about .7 - 1 gm/22 calories so if ALL I ate was fruit and ate 2000 calories I'd get about 77 gms of fiber still not 100
I was commenting that getting OVER 100 was extraordinary considering the relative fiber values of common vegan foods like brown rice and potatoes and based on a 2000 calorie diet, but they may be consuming 4000 calories some people do and then you wanted to argue, now you concede, and I accept
Looking at traditional lifestyles, unrefined/unprocessed plant food, low animal products & exercise are good. Iceland is the exception and has more unique types of animal products like a2 casein protein cattle. Unfortunately, the message of Dr Denis Burkitt has been reduced from lifestyle change to just a fiber message. Africa has the lowest rates of diabetes & following many items in the whole african lifestyle is a good idea instead of focusing on just 1-2 items of the whole african lifestyle.
The mcdougall of ~24 years ago looks a bit science-fictionally healthy to me, like someone from L.A. in Blade Runner, where people are in the prime of their life because they are killed at age 35.
Well intentioned if rudimentary. All I got from wholemeal bread after 15yrs was irritable bowel. Pre 1950 when he said western diseases started was when oils replaced the saturated fats that he says caused the disease, how contradictory.
At 23 I may not have a fancy car, a big house, heck, even a steady income...but boy am I thankful to have all the information Dr. McDougall has given us!
You are so right, so fortunate, and so wise beyond your years...Remember what Emerson said, "The first wealth is health" You have great wealth in your heart and soul... Congrat's

Same here my friend 22 years old.fortunate to find mcdougal at this age.
Wise beyond your years. Now, you just need to find a way to turn the understanding into a future career.
So basically you are 23 and have no money and struggle with health,great to know

This is the greatest interview of all time. Pritikin takes #2 in my opinion.
He didn't find any health problems in Africa because they didn't live long enough to get any but the real reason is he was blinking his eyes and twitching so much from eating so much junk like margarine and skim milk he got no real Vitamin A1 which is Retinol. He admitted he had no credentials in nutritional biochemistry.

He lost me after 22:30 when he recommended margarine. But good overall
It took a few minutes to recognize Dr McDougall being so young.

I wonder: if diagnosis and eliminating symptoms is the main part of the medicine today, wouldn't a guide on self diagnosis (through stool, bowel movement frequency, saliva and urine pH etc) be the lever which would free up the resources of the pharma and medical world to start working in prevention or even cure of cause instead?
Wow, 🤯
Awesome!
It’s confusing that he eats animals daily just not more than once ? Why did Dr Mcdougall eliminate that aspect
So in 2023, we spend 18% of our gnp on operations and almost none on prevention. We have all these brilliant,rich, educated people in charge and no one understands the power of food.

Dr Burkitt reminds me of myself, very intelligent very eloquent and he has an obvious tic disorder, I have Tourettes syndrome, people tell me it's not even noticable, (it is to me) people like that are my heroes.
Don't flatter yourself snowflake
He is sooo funny about the "stool" relationships....ha ha!
I always knew my dumps where telling me about the appropriateness of my diet. When I eat lots to lentils beans and chickpeas my dumps
Come out effortlessly and clean and nearly odorless. Lots of meat and it’s the opposite. Hard, sometimes painful and smells like well …
Same here 💯 😊
Man I miss old TV/movie cameras, much more pleasing to the eye.
Margarine, skim milk? Eek😮
He admitted he had no credentials in nutritional biochemistry so to him margarine and shortening which are loaded in trans fats were healthy. And with his eyes twitching and nervous behavior shows he was eating a junk food diet.
Interesting guy.
Is this the famously wonderful ’cow flop’ statement??
So, the more fiber, the less processed food. So stay away from processed food, and remember, the dangers of processed seed oils fit the bill as well. Processed foods are primarily made of processed sugar, processed oil, and processed grains.
I have never been to any african country but my guess is africans are not crazy about margarine. It can be hard for some people give up applying margarine or butter on bread/grains/corn. I prefer sprouted grains rather than processed food like bread and other powdered products.
2:52 - That part brought tears to my eye. What an interesting perspective.
I appreciate all you've done for myself and so many. After a lifetime of chronic indigestion, constipation, and so on, I started eating more fiber about 10 years ago, and slowly all my symptoms went away, almost entirely. However after watching this video, I'm wondering if 35gms of fiber daily is enough. When he says some cultures consume over 100gms/daily, I'm thinking "How?" I eat almost a vegan diet of about 2000 calories, how can a person get 1gm of fiber for every 20 calories?
It's pretty trivial to get that number up if your calorie-dense foods are also fiber-dense. Black beans, for example, seem to be reported with fiber contents of 1g:20cal to 1g:14cal. Collards are 1g:10cal or so, apples are a hair worse than 1g:20 and bulgur is around 8g:150
splatted maybe I had the information wrong, I was focusing on fruits too much
that might be hyperbole probably they have grams of fiber looks like about .7 - 1 gm/22 calories so if ALL I ate was fruit and ate 2000 calories I'd get about 77 gms of fiber still not 100
I was commenting that getting OVER 100 was extraordinary considering the relative fiber values of common vegan foods like brown rice and potatoes and based on a 2000 calorie diet, but they may be consuming 4000 calories some people do
and then you wanted to argue, now you concede, and I accept
MORE PLANTS. Fruits n vegetables are high in fiber and low in calories, so i add in another serving or two of whole plant foods, up your fiber.
Looking at traditional lifestyles, unrefined/unprocessed plant food, low animal products & exercise are good. Iceland is the exception and has more unique types of animal products like a2 casein protein cattle. Unfortunately, the message of Dr Denis Burkitt has been reduced from lifestyle change to just a fiber message. Africa has the lowest rates of diabetes & following many items in the whole african lifestyle is a good idea instead of focusing on just 1-2 items of the whole african lifestyle.
The mcdougall of ~24 years ago looks a bit science-fictionally healthy to me, like someone from L.A. in Blade Runner, where people are in the prime of their life because they are killed at age 35.
Dr. Young McDougall
I wish he knew back then what caused osteoporosis.

Good looking fella :)
Turrets Syndrome is a mineral deficiency. He, (Dr. Burkitt) should have contacted Dr.Wallach about that.
Burkitt that is.
18:40 Uselessness of medicine
Well intentioned if rudimentary. All I got from wholemeal bread after 15yrs was irritable bowel. Pre 1950 when he said western diseases started was when oils replaced the saturated fats that he says caused the disease, how contradictory.
Amazing, what one can accomplish with a server handicap. He lost his right eye at 11 years of age.
Main stream doctors around the world are still on the other extreme .
