just one thing tho, why isent there a plethora of clinical trails showing actual reversal of arthrosclerosis. its important to be careful when we use these terms. reversal has never been conclusively proven and anecdotes are not proof.
@@cypriano8763 Big food or Big Pharma ain't eager to fund such studies. It's been shown, however, that by using strong anticholestherol medication, plaque diminish. If I recall correctly, LDL- cholestherol had to be treated to level 1.1-1.4 mmol/l to accomplish that. WFPBD is much more wholesome approach.
Great interview! Thank you for the work you are doing to change the information being “fed” to medical students, Dr. Clapper. I also found it interesting that my TH-cam video was being bombarded with ads from doctors promoting diets high in fat and animal products while I was watching this video. Coincidence?
At 58 diagnosed with end-stage coronary artery disease. Put on 5 different meds and booked in for a stent. After 3 months of whole plant-based, no oil, no salt, no caffeine, no dairy, my angina pain was gone. After 6 months, I turned down the stent procedure. 2 years later at 60 I have low LDL, low APOB Low LPa Low CPR and most of all have my life and health back and take no meds. Reversal exists.

Adults Should Not Be Pampered! Great message but I believe that this message has been and is being watered down. It is nice to be nice when speaking to people, but if people are truly willing and "hunger" about becoming healthy, the message given should not be watered down. The message should be: this is what you should eat, this is what you shouldn't eat, and how healthy of a response you get is totally dependent on your adherence to this information - more adherence equals better results, and less adherence equals less results. The "foreign" food will become much more tastier over time, and it will be craved for. The body has to forget about the "unhealthy" tastes and start craving healthy tastes - and it will. Remember people, moderation comes in all forms - do you want moderate diabetes or moderate heart disease. If not, you should not be eating moderately healthy food - it should be close to 100% healthy. Do we want to be pampered or healthy? I've lost too many friends and family members who only wanted to be pampered - I was almost one of them, but I chose to be healthy instead. I thank my long lost disease for giving me the scare, courage and motivation to wake up and change my life and future - that was over 10 years ago now. Whole Plant Based Foods all the way - baby... I love what you are doing Dr Klaper. Keep up the great work. Peace and love always.
You are the first doctor I heard apologize for feeding us this medical industry garbage. Most just don’t understand though. Thank you for spreading the truth. You are a blessing.
Dr. Klaper is wonderful! I love his combination of compassion and 'science'. :) He is a true warrior- having interacted with hundreds and hundreds of patients over the decades, he is both informed and wise.
Dr. Klapper, a member of the honorary "Old Guard" along with Dr. McDougal, Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Barnard, Dr. Esselstyn. Fortunately they have begun to see the tide turn where people are embracing WFPB medicine/lifestyle.
The 5 people you mentioned are entertainers with zero credentials in nutritional biochemistry. You should only get diet advice from a real Ph.D in nutritional biochemistry with awards and honors and or a Nobel Prize with a long term track record of being right such as Roger J. Williams, Frederick Gowland Hopkins, Fred Kummerow, George H. Whipple, William Parry Murphy, Edward Adelbert Doisy, all 6 would say that single ingredient meat, poultry, fish and eggs are good for you in moderation and that dairy is ok in small amounts if you like it and are not allergic to it but a human is an omnivore and they should still consume a balanced diet in the basic 4 food groups.
@@StanDupp6371 They're entertainers, not doctors? You showed your hand. I looked up those men. Brilliant, yes. But not one of them had "a PhD in nutritional biochemistry." And two of them were physicians. One PhD was in physiology. The others were in chemistry or biochemistry. One of the old guard plant-based diet men is Colin Campbell, a biochemist. The most recent PhD seems to be from 1943. There have been too many discoveries, too many shifts in what foods are like and which ones are available to hang your hat on that alone. I'd be more interested in what biochemists are saying about vegetarian or vegan diets *now*. Or at least in the past 50 years! In particular, I'd be interested to see if the ruling idea in the field nowadays is that everybody has to eat animal products. As far as I know, that answer is "no." Some of the old guard plant-based diet folks are motivated by the philosophy of veganism, which leads them to do things like blur the distinction between evidence for vegan diets and evidence for predominantly plant diets. I'm convinced that humans are omnivores. But omnivores like our closest relatives: chimps, bonobos, and gorillas. Their diets are 95+ percent plant based, and contain no dairy. I'm also convinced that people can enjoy fantastic health on a plant-based diet.
In other words, it's important to selectively listen to those medical professionals who align with your viewpoints and disregard opinions that do not resonate with your own.
Anyone who knows what goes on in slaughterhouses becomes an instant vegan. Like Paul McCartney said, if slaughterhouses were made of glass everyone would be a vegan.
Yet people know what goes on in slaughterhouses and the majority it seems would rather put up with the risk or the serious metabolic disease itself than go vegan. There are the same percentage of vegans worldwide as there was in the 70s
@@baganbobik9312 You are correct 👍 However what he said is true. Maybe, When he grows up, he will hopefully add eggs, and dairy products to his comment.
I became vegan 30yrs ago for the animals and because I'd always followed a healthy diet and done loads of exercise, I never had to worry about the health benefits of my diet. I knew I was getting all the nutrients I needed, but it's been really interesting to hear the benefits explained clearly by a respected doctor. Excellent interview Joe.
In the last couple of years my husband, from taking 120+ units of insulin a day + lots of other medications, changed his diet gradually got off his medication, then lost 50kg. He was not asked once how he did it, and had to fight with his dr to stop the last diabetic medication. The diabetic nurse who also did not ask how he did it was the only one to congratulate him. She said in her 14 yrs of being a diabetic nurse, he is the only person who has reversed diabetes. Yet no one is interested. Why is this achievement not lauded by the medical profession? Is it lack of interest? Is it they would prefer to continue prescribing medicine? Is it challenging the Drs knowledge when someone can do this for themselves yet the Drs with all their medical knowledge and education can’t do it? My husband is doing well and getting healthier and healthier. 🌿
@@melanieclay1262 we follow Medical Medium. He stopped eating some bad food, increased plants, still eats kippers. Takes many natural supplements and alcohol free herbal tinctures. He still has some food to stop when he is ready for the next stage. He has started on the next stage now.
Doctors simply don’t think their patients will be able to make and stick to significant lifestyle changes. It really reflects that they think their patients are stupid.
I think Dr. Klaper is being kind in reasons that physicians resist plant based medical solutions. Let's compare a cardiologists fee received for a referral to a plant-based nutritionist versus a bypass procedure. Modern medicine is a business and it will always trend in education and practice toward the highest profits.
Love Dr Klapper. Met him at TRUE NORTH in Santa Rosa when I went for my first 15 day water fast. (Amazing experience. I’ll never forget). He was my Favorite Dr there!. He has now left TN after being part of establishing this incredible first US health fasting center, to do his own thing. So sharp, so wise, walks his talk.
Hello before I was a Vegan my Doctor did blood work the blood came out slow and it was very thick and that bothered me and the fact my Doctor told me I am 300 pounds I was talking to my sister and I told her I was going straight Vegan she told me good. When I got home I told my wife what I was going to do she told me how are you going to get protean that was in 2000 now it is 2024 and my blood is like water. Do you want to watch your kids grow up change God Bless.
Brilliant interview! Many thanks to Joe Best for asking such probing questions; he really draws out the best from Dr Klaper here. Gosh, I feel like I need to be locked up at True North for 90 days. I will try his advice for the soups and salads,.. and to lower my starchy starches.
There is an English Vegan & Animal Rights Activist who works at Harvard University as a lecturer, he has a big following on TH-cam he is known as Earthling Ed( Ed Winters). Although he advocates Animal Rights I think he would be a good person for Dr Klaper to talk to at Harvard. 🌻🌎✊🏽
Thanks to Jesus Christ, I have been vegan since 2003 and dropped modern medicine for herbs! I am feeling and looking much better. ❤ An occasional juice fast is also helpful!
Eggs are a perfect food. Cholesterol btw is falsely demonized. Cholesterol is great. It's DAMAGED cholesterol and TRIGLYCERIDES that are the problem. And what damages cholesterol? Sugar, refined carbs and vegetable oils. The research is overwhelming. This guy is disingenuous.
Really, I've heard the same claim from people who go carnivore,......I don't like eating animals, I don't like veggies, plus all the toxic lectins and oxalates in veggies, so for me I feel that going to fruit based diet is going to be where I should go Genesis says to eat only from seed bearing follage(trees).
Going to plant-based food only is the right thing to do because it not only saves the animals from needless suffering but it's also good for the planet and our health. You can get all your nutrients from plant-based food.
@@Marley-ii6ls actually plant-based food gives you all the nutrients you need. Meat causes heart disease high blood pressure diabetes and some cancers.
Joe Best's point about letting the former gp know about changes resonated with me as I too left the system. The only thing I've seen physicians for since going wfpb is fractures (bike crash) but my last gp has left the country and the one before that has lon been retired.
20 minutes in and still no talk about what you put in the thumbnail, eggs being bad. so i turned the video off because you guys are looking real clickbaity
What about the thousands of videos on TH-cam that show people recovering from several illnesses, feeling fantastic, and losing hundreds of pounds by switching from a vegan to a carnivorous diet?
I'm one of those people that switched to a ketogenic, high protein diet and got better. Because of how it affected my micro biome. I had some pathogenic bacteria in my God that actually preferred carbohydrates. Starving them did wonders for my health. I recovered from CFS, and two other auto immune diseases. Fast forward, 20 years and I now have cardiovascular disease. Not for eating process food and junk but eating a zero processed food, zero sugar, low Paleo diet. Now, switching to vegan.
Turning your back on animal food is fine, saying it’s the wrong way when millions of people are gaining disease reversal is not right. Maybe you need to investigate the power of animal food.
Love you dr klaper!!!! Does anyone know any plant based dietician programs in California? Do they require you to go to medical school?? I’m so sad my local plant power restaurant closed recently. Does anyone know what’s happening to that chain?
most of the reversals can be related more to removing processed foods from our diets rather than plants vs. meats ~ all that really matters is you find what works best for you and keeps you healthy regardless of which one you choose and what someone else might say because if you're healthy and they are healthy.... who the hell cares what you eat ~
Not that I eat eggs, but why go overboard and claim eggs are always eaten with toast? A large percentage of eggs are boiled and eaten in salads or deviled and eaten without toast or anything else etc.
I was strictly plant based for almost 2 years and developed high blood pressure, frequent herpes outbreaks, seborrhea, borderline diabetes and insomnia. I then went on carnivore diet while eliminating all plants and all of my conditions went away. I discovered when adding back plants that it was the sugar, starch and fructose that was causing the issues. The key is 'whole food' and stay away from sugar, fructose and high carbs to be healthy.
If you ate wheat soy corn canola etc… these are all GMO and lots of nuts and seeds is not good either. If you eliminate them going carnivore you will heal. Initially… up to the point your adrenals can compensate… then problems start all over again… plant based can be healing or not so much … depends on what you are eating…
For those who say meat and eggs are evil & the cause of bad health, please look up Laura Spath and tell me the science behind how carnivore, cheese, and eggs transformed her life as well as her husband's life. 😮 That woman is definitely healthier now than 5 years ago.
What will these people by like by age 60 or 70. That is the real test. Animal fats and protein build up in the arteries over time, causing arteriosclerosis. Doesn’t happen overnight. Takes time. Catches up with everyone eventually if they live long enough. Im 63 and vegan for 8 years. Was a caregiver to elderly parents and my grandmother for 17 years. If you pay attention to what happens to old people, you’ll realize the plant-based doctors are right.
I am a 72y/o retired physician who started a whole food plant based diet 3 years ago. I lost 60 lbs and am off all prescription medications for hypertension and hyperlipidemia. I've started weight training, am building muscle and feel like a teenager.
Personally I take a vegan multi supplement called Compliment i think it was roughly $35 a month but it covers all of the supplements that we WFPB eaters could ever want @versewriter8123
Love Dr. Klapper. He's 100 percent right. Went vegan a little over a year. Had i known what they do too these beautiful animals would have done it years ago. Once you really know how can anyone eat these beautiful sweet sentient beings?? So true about what Paul McCartney says anyone who knows what goes in a slaughter house becomes vegan. I saw some footage on Instagram and that was it for me.
Fantastic! I am a Urologist and give my patients a flyer on plant based nutrition. To bad the Cardiologists, Pediatricians, and Internists are not on the same page. You would think that endocrinologists would know that fat and oil cause insulin resistance (intra-myocellular fat), sadly they do not.
Yeah it's strange how the mantra of high blood glucose is the main cause and not the symptom of diabetes amongst medical professionals just proves what a smokescreen is being perpetrated.
I truly believe it's in the hands of the physicians to guide the population to health. Doctors quit "doctoring" for sure when covid hit, which is another thing altogether but now, now, what an opportunity to gain the trust of the population back...whole food plant based will change the world.
@@traceybaucom5755 I do not believe that my health should be in the hands of a physician. My health is my personal responsibility. I am not sure doctoring should include dispensing nutrition advice unless a person has a lifestyle disease. (which granted, many people do). My doctor doesn't have a clue what to do with me, a healthy 62 year old on no medication.
@@cherij7000 I also believe that my health should not be in the hands of anyone else. That being said, look at the population sitting in doctor's offices every day. Millions go weekly. Most health issues stem from lifestyle. All of these people listening to everything an allopathic doctor says like God is speaking in their ear. At least if the doctor has had nutritional training and is in tune with lifestyle medicine the population would be in much better shape. My doctor as well has no clue what to do with me as a 67 year old vegan. All of this being said...I have worked with physicians for years (administratively), I worked nearly 30 years in the environmental field (hospitals, facilities, etc.) and have worked in the mental health and legal fields. My degrees are in Psychology and I have Nutritional and Lifestyle certifications. I have taken care of dying family, all from lifestyle diseases ..and they ALL listened to allopathic doctors and made no lifestyle changes. So, since these doctors have these people's direct attention, I feel the onus is on them to educate themselves and actively promote healthy living.
I've turned 75 last month. I stopped eating ALL kinds of meat AND eggs in 1976, 48 years ago. My BMI has been between 22 and 24 since I was 18 y.o. I exercise a lot everyday in my garden, barefoot and shirtless. I went almost only organic in 2008 (16 years ago). I dropped eating everyhing from wheat some 5 years ago. I practice Int. Fasting. I consume mostly non sweet fruits like coconut and avocado. I've nevertaken any supplements or pharmaceutical drugs.The diseases I've had along the last 50 years was pharingiitis, that I cured with Homeophatic compound, nail fungus that I cured with iodine and a mild dengue fever that I cured with a 6 day water-only fast. My most common staple foods for the only warm meal (dinner) are oats, lentils or other beans, organic brown rice, sweet potatoes, okra, and several greens from my garden. As a retired engineer I live a minimalist, stress-free life in a small countryside town in Brazil.
A great video, thank you both so much. My doctor has been trying to get me on statins for years. I finally had a ct angiogram and my arteries were perfect! I do have hereditary high cholesterol but no problems from it. Thank u from Melbourne Australia xx
Great video & a wonderful plant based doctor 😊 When I was diagnosed with heart disease (atherosclerosis), high blood pressure & type 2 diabetes, I was told there was nothing I could do about it, except take medication for the rest of my life. At the age of 46, I became vegan for ethical reasons, having no idea about the health benefits. I'm now 52 & have totally reversed ALL these conditions & I'm the fittest & healthiest I have ever been in my life 💚
That is fantastic!! :D Blessings on you, for changing your diet for all the right reasons~ We are all connected, and what we do to others (innocent non-human animals) we do to ourselves. It is only when we stop participating in the torture of innocents, will we find our way home (as individuals, and as a species..).
I’m 63 and vegan for 8 years. I take no medications. I’m glad you were able to get off medications. Many elderly people are in kidney failure right now from medications which they have taken for the last 30+ years. The liver and kidneys were not designed to break down medication chemicals every day, year in and year out. My parents and my grandmother took high blood pressure medications for 40+ years from about age 40. Those medications had a debilitating effect on them in the long run.
Was vegan for 5 years, was able to stay lean, felt great! Went through mild addiction and started eating meat & dairy again 😢 I’ve been eating vegan again for 7 days already feel so much better again lost 4lbs of water weight don’t wake up “hungover” from animal based food.
Dr. Klaper is a national treasure. To him, and all who work with food and lifestyle as a healing and wellness tool, I thank you. Keep up the amazing work!
He says that eggs are a problem because they raise cholesterol, but cholesterol actually isn't a problem. Triglycerides are. What raises triglycerides? Starch and sugars. 34:50 The host says " I've never seen anybody eat an egg without toast." He must exist in a plant based bubble. I eat plenty of eggs. I never eat toast. I eat very little wheat period. It's the worst..
@@gmw3083 Eggs help increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels - or “good” cholesterol as it’s commonly known - and this is one reason why eggs have been found to have little to no effect on heart disease risk. It's low-density lipoprotein (LDL) - or "bad" cholesterol - that can put heart health at risk. Meals high in saturated fats and trans-fats such as deep-fried takeaway foods are the key culprits when it comes to increased risk levels of LDL cholesterol.
Thank you so much for including the animals in this conversation. I’m vegan for the animals and believe that is what being vegan is about. Otherwise a person is plant-based. It’s much easier to stay true to your convictions of leaving animal products out of your life if you’re really doing it for them.💚 Great conversation gentleman 👏🏻
Excellent video. It’s so frustrating that people still do not accept the truth that’s in front of them…

This is because they are conditioned with the meat industry marketing that is everywhere. It’s on the street, in the ads and every supermarket is full of animal products. We need more marketing for good vegan food to slowly make a switch. So we need to do the same as they do. To advertise everywhere. 😊
I am just starting to watch this video. I just wanted to say, the people I know including my own family, they are just so into eating animals and all there byproducts that nothing else matters to them. I just don't get people, I have to endure a weekend of meat eaters and they just don't get me. They say you just can't live on plants yet I have done so for just about 7 years and I am older and yet to take any drugs for these sickness people of my age suffer from. I just shake my head. Keep stuffing your face with things that make you sick and I will keep going with my plants. Dr. Clapper is great.
I find it shocking when people make assertions that vegetables and fruits are killing us. If the same funds were applied to organic fruits and vegetables as applied to animal agriculture populations would be much healthier.
PharmacoSclerosis! (@ 18:00) LMAO😂 - Love ya Dr. Klaper. It was either the FDA or the USDA sent the egg industry notice that they could not call eggs a healthy food, so the egg board had to come up with all these other nutrients, saying they are good for you. But obviously can be gotten from healthy plant-based sources too!
34 yrs vegan, and- though I had true allergies to dairy and eggs- and was raised with the SAD like everyone else... the ONLY thing that stopped me- out of the blue, one day, at age 29- was walking by the smelly, flesh- decomposing, meat counter at Whole Foods, and having an a-ha moment of the tremendous suffering of animals -required for the 5 min taste sensation for humans... From that moment on, that awareness in my heart/soul was the driving motivation to never eat animal flesh again. Later, I would travel cross country, and pass by the despicable, cruel, inhumane, barbaric factory farms of the midwest, with cows knee deep in their own manure, confined in the glaring sun and heat with no shelter, and with no green space in sight... I had many many pig slaughter transport trucks pass me on the highway- with the pigs' intelligent and conscious eyes peering out of the slats in crowded trucks, with horror/fear/desperation in their eyes... later, learning that these transport trucks did not provide water or food or climate control, and these suffered in untold ways until, and including, their way of death. I will NEVER EVER support this industry in any way again in my life.
Yet you support the killing and torture of of animals to grow the grains and fruits and vegetables you eat. There is no human food without death and destruction of animals. Your way of eating is just as cruel but it happens far away from you out in the fields so you can delude yourself into thinking that “ No AnImaLs WerE HarMeD for the FoOd I eat”. Stop with the lies and self delusion. You’re no better than the rest of us.
I wish people would stop saying that it is hard to eat fresh soups salads and legumes. It is a diet all you can eat. You’re never hungry. The food is wonderful! And immediately, you see and feel the benefits of eating Whole Food Plant Based.
One of the worst is HMOs, the doctors must adhere to a standard of care protocol. I've to fight everyone from MD to assistants, to self manage my health primarily thru diet, lifestyle, exercise. If I even mention reversal, I'd be blacklisted as a difficult patient.
I just don't go to my doctor. I haven't shown up for a checkup in years. I get the odd call, text, email, and written correspondents to allow them to manage my health care. I only respond to the phone calls, and after I allow them all the time they need to make their pitch, I tell them that I will make an appointment as soon as I have a problem. Then I politely say thanks and goodbye and hang up. 😁
Today on my gardening post in Facebook. Someone said they like artichokes with olive oil on them and then they eat it with mayonnaise. I mentioned that that’s not really healthy considering how you had a healthy thing and turned it into an oil dish. The responses were I’m not worried about that, I love mayonnaise and olive oil is healthy. As Dr. Klaper has always said it is the food that dictates our health.💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Olives are nutritious and a handful of them contains a small amount of oil. The amount of extracted olive oil found in dressings, dipping sauces and mayo is too much. It is possible to have too much of a “good” thing, turning it into a bad thing.
I needed to hear this interview to feel confident about my WFPB lifestyle choices again. So easy for doubt to creep in amongst all the opposing social media noise.
It's a shame that, according to the comments on protein and "complete protein" here, people are still kept so ignorant by the mainstreams. They have you right where they want you.
Fixed my angina heart disease. Then found out that I have prostate cancer in 2018. When the psa test went up to 7.76 in and doctor had me take a MRI a months 1/2 later. Then finally when I had my next doctor visit and had another psa test. They had me fill out some paper work asked me if I change anything and I wrote down a whole plant base diet. Found out my psa test came back 3.31. Then the doctor told me if the psa test came up again they were going to do another biopsy. That was last year and that was all had to tell me! This March psa was 2.66. BTW, I found out that the plant base meat substitute mimics meat to well causing the cancer to grow. Now I make black bean burgers! No problem!
I went on plant base diet two years ago my blood counts are good compared what they were. I will stay on a vegan diet plant based because I've seen what it's doing for me.
Big part of the problem is that the powers that be do NOT want to see people healthy. So much $ and energy is put into driving disease, disability & premature death.
You can talk sense but you CANNOT make people sensible. Great interview. Fruit and veggies for me, mainly fruit. People become TRIGGERED if they are eating meat, dairy and eggs. Just cannot handle the TRUTH just too programmed. Ego rears its ugly head. Now that RFK Jr and DJT are all about health everything will change for the better. HEALTHIER PEOPLE is what we all want.😊
"So tell me again, you're saying that for around 2,000,000,000 years life on this planet, the third one from it's star has had no alternative other than to 'eat each other'? With the result being a veritable blood fest for 99.99% of life ever since? But since we were here last there's a new kid on the block with the ability not only to ponder all that, but the dexterity, intellect and cultural rigidity to - for the first time - massively reduce the bloodshed and suffering..? Pass me the popcorn Zzorg and budge up, this should be good. We don't see potential for change like this very often... ... .. ... .. .. Oh that's disappointing..." : )
I used to be plant based for decades before it was cool. Absorption of some nutrients was obviously difficult. I noticed when I ate an egg I felt fantastic and it helped my heart condition. I then started intermittent fasting of 18 hours a day. Now I feel better than when I was 18.
49 yo and diagnosed 2 years ago with psoriatic arthritis. I was at a pain level of 10 and almost in a wheelchair. I went vegan and I went down to a 5 pain level and now able to function. I unfortunately still have to do some medication so to not exacerbate my condition. But I feel great all my lbs are perfect and my doctor is amazed that just by diet alone I have cut my pain level in half.
You are radical if you diminish their profitability. I think the only time "radical" is okay is when it is part of a disinfomercial. (i.e. "Check out this 'radical' new diet! You'll be losing weight and spending money in no time!")
I'm 66 and eaten lots of eggs most of my life. I've got great cholesterol and triglycerides? No prescriptions and healthy? How are eggs bad? Is it just the large factory farms? I'm thin and it hasn't caused high sugar either? I'm confused
I remember that old video describing this.......and I have felt VERY sleepy after eating a high fat meal......I suspect it's the blood sludge slowing down the blood flow to my brain.
From the Cheeseburger, do you think the 46 different ingredients in the Bun, Cheese, Ketchup, Pickle and Mustard are very healthy, but the Beef, Salt and Pepper in the patty is to blaim for all health issues ? Home made food made from plants and animals as they occure in nature, gardens and farms is a good start to a healthy diet. As low carb as possible, say 5-10% of energy intake for diabetics.
"Rice and beans don't complain and I've never heard a carrot scream." One of the best lines in this whole video! :) We love you and your work Dr. Klaper! I wish everyone practicing medicine and working in healthcare took on this attitude about health. What a difference it could make! I am almost done with Nursing school and I work as a Nurse assistant in the Emergency room... you're absolutely right that the overwhelming majority of people who come in for treatment are the victims of lifestyle diseases and self-inflicted ailments from poor choices (mostly dietary, alcohol, and tobacco intake along with sedentary ways of life). They are the epitome of the standard American diet and lifestyle. It's really sad. And more and more, we are seeing young people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s coming in with strokes and heart attacks... it all goes back to this awful way of life that has become all too common here in the States. It's really sad. ALL of this is PREVENTABLE and REVERSIBLE!!

Adults Should Not Be Pampered!
Great message but I believe that this message has been and is being watered down. It is nice to be nice when speaking to people, but if people are truly willing and "hunger" about becoming healthy, the message given should not be watered down. The message should be: this is what you should eat, this is what you shouldn't eat, and how healthy of a response you get is totally dependent on your adherence to this information - more adherence equals better results, and less adherence equals less results. The "foreign" food will become much more tastier over time, and it will be craved for. The body has to forget about the "unhealthy" tastes and start craving healthy tastes - and it will. Remember people, moderation comes in all forms - do you want moderate diabetes or moderate heart disease. If not, you should not be eating moderately healthy food - it should be close to 100% healthy. Do we want to be pampered or healthy? I've lost too many friends and family members who only wanted to be pampered - I was almost one of them, but I chose to be healthy instead. I thank my long lost disease for giving me the scare, courage and motivation to wake up and change my life and future - that was over 10 years ago now. Whole Plant Based Foods all the way - baby...
I love what you are doing Dr Klaper. Keep up the great work.
Peace and love always.
Tell it like it is! People respond to truth. Totally agree.
You are the first doctor I heard apologize for feeding us this medical industry garbage. Most just don’t understand though. Thank you for spreading the truth. You are a blessing.
Dr. Klaper is wonderful! I love his combination of compassion and 'science'. :) He is a true warrior- having interacted with hundreds and hundreds of patients over the decades, he is both informed and wise.
Dr. Klapper, a member of the honorary "Old Guard" along with Dr. McDougal, Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Barnard, Dr. Esselstyn. Fortunately they have begun to see the tide turn where people are embracing WFPB medicine/lifestyle.
The 5 people you mentioned are entertainers with zero credentials in nutritional biochemistry. You should only get diet advice from a real Ph.D in nutritional biochemistry with awards and honors and or a Nobel Prize with a long term track record of being right such as Roger J. Williams, Frederick Gowland Hopkins, Fred Kummerow, George H. Whipple, William Parry Murphy, Edward Adelbert Doisy, all 6 would say that single ingredient meat, poultry, fish and eggs are good for you in moderation and that dairy is ok in small amounts if you like it and are not allergic to it but a human is an omnivore and they should still consume a balanced diet in the basic 4 food groups.
@@StanDupp6371 They're entertainers, not doctors? You showed your hand. I looked up those men. Brilliant, yes. But not one of them had "a PhD in nutritional biochemistry." And two of them were physicians. One PhD was in physiology. The others were in chemistry or biochemistry. One of the old guard plant-based diet men is Colin Campbell, a biochemist.
The most recent PhD seems to be from 1943. There have been too many discoveries, too many shifts in what foods are like and which ones are available to hang your hat on that alone. I'd be more interested in what biochemists are saying about vegetarian or vegan diets *now*. Or at least in the past 50 years! In particular, I'd be interested to see if the ruling idea in the field nowadays is that everybody has to eat animal products. As far as I know, that answer is "no."
Some of the old guard plant-based diet folks are motivated by the philosophy of veganism, which leads them to do things like blur the distinction between evidence for vegan diets and evidence for predominantly plant diets. I'm convinced that humans are omnivores. But omnivores like our closest relatives: chimps, bonobos, and gorillas. Their diets are 95+ percent plant based, and contain no dairy. I'm also convinced that people can enjoy fantastic health on a plant-based diet.
Yes, Earthy. Agree
In other words, it's important to selectively listen to those medical professionals who align with your viewpoints and disregard opinions that do not resonate with your own.
Dr Klaper is also one of my heros...
Anyone who knows what goes on in slaughterhouses becomes an instant vegan. Like Paul McCartney said, if slaughterhouses were made of glass everyone would be a vegan.
Yet people know what goes on in slaughterhouses and the majority it seems would rather put up with the risk or the serious metabolic disease itself than go vegan. There are the same percentage of vegans worldwide as there was in the 70s
And yet he didn't go vegan, he's a vegetarian, which is so lаmе
@@vthomas375where did you get this data about percentage now and 70s?
@@baganbobik9312
You are correct 👍
However what he said is true. Maybe, When he grows up, he will hopefully add eggs, and dairy products to his comment.
Shame Paul refuses to go Vegan, Vegetarian since the 70's he refuses to give up cheese. #Hypocrisy
Love that you’re interviewing Dr. Michael Klapper, love him and Dr. McDougall as well
Saw Dr Klaper live in Dallas last fall, his presentation was riveting and made the science crystal clear
I became vegan 30yrs ago for the animals and because I'd always followed a healthy diet and done loads of exercise, I never had to worry about the health benefits of my diet. I knew I was getting all the nutrients I needed, but it's been really interesting to hear the benefits explained clearly by a respected doctor. Excellent interview Joe.
In the last couple of years my husband, from taking 120+ units of insulin a day + lots of other medications, changed his diet gradually got off his medication, then lost 50kg. He was not asked once how he did it, and had to fight with his dr to stop the last diabetic medication. The diabetic nurse who also did not ask how he did it was the only one to congratulate him. She said in her 14 yrs of being a diabetic nurse, he is the only person who has reversed diabetes. Yet no one is interested. Why is this achievement not lauded by the medical profession? Is it lack of interest? Is it they would prefer to continue prescribing medicine? Is it challenging the Drs knowledge when someone can do this for themselves yet the Drs with all their medical knowledge and education can’t do it?
My husband is doing well and getting healthier and healthier. 🌿
To answer your questions, follow the money.
And BTW, congratulations! Be proud!
Congratulations!! What a magnificent accomplishment!! Is your hubby plant based, or, how did he do it?
@@melanieclay1262 we follow Medical Medium. He stopped eating some bad food, increased plants, still eats kippers. Takes many natural supplements and alcohol free herbal tinctures. He still has some food to stop when he is ready for the next stage. He has started on the next stage now.
Doctors simply don’t think their patients will be able to make and stick to significant lifestyle changes. It really reflects that they think their patients are stupid.
I think Dr. Klaper is being kind in reasons that physicians resist plant based medical solutions. Let's compare a cardiologists fee received for a referral to a plant-based nutritionist versus a bypass procedure. Modern medicine is a business and it will always trend in education and practice toward the highest profits.
Thank you! 🙏 18 months in & never felt better!! My doctor had NO CLUE & I’ve since shared.
Love Dr Klaper, he’s so credible
He is clear and practical, great doctor
Love Dr Klapper. Met him at TRUE NORTH in Santa Rosa when I went for my first 15 day water fast. (Amazing experience. I’ll never forget). He was my Favorite Dr there!. He has now left TN after being part of establishing this incredible first US health fasting center, to do his own thing. So sharp, so wise, walks his talk.
Dr. Klaper is the best
Hello before I was a Vegan my Doctor did blood work the blood came out slow and it was very thick and that bothered me and the fact my Doctor told me I am 300 pounds I was talking to my sister and I told her I was going straight Vegan she told me good. When I got home I told my wife what I was going to do she told me how are you going to get protean that was in 2000 now it is 2024 and my blood is like water. Do you want to watch your kids grow up change God Bless.
I do idk about anyone else
Great interview with Dr. Klaper. He explains it well.
Brilliant interview! Many thanks to Joe Best for asking such probing questions; he really draws out the best from Dr Klaper here. Gosh, I feel like I need to be locked up at True North for 90 days. I will try his advice for the soups and salads,.. and to lower my starchy starches.
There is an English Vegan & Animal Rights Activist who works at Harvard University as a lecturer, he has a big following on TH-cam he is known as Earthling Ed( Ed Winters). Although he advocates Animal Rights I think he would be a good person for Dr Klaper to talk to at Harvard. 🌻🌎✊🏽
Ahimsa! 🙏❤️
Thou art that
Once you see you can’t unsee 🖖
Thanks to Jesus Christ, I have been vegan since 2003 and dropped modern medicine for herbs! I am feeling and looking much better. ❤
An occasional juice fast is also helpful!
I switched from peanut butter and jelly to raw peanut butter and dill pickles. Excellent flavour and no sugar. 👍👍
Eggs are a perfect food. Cholesterol btw is falsely demonized. Cholesterol is great. It's DAMAGED cholesterol and TRIGLYCERIDES that are the problem. And what damages cholesterol? Sugar, refined carbs and vegetable oils. The research is overwhelming. This guy is disingenuous.
Really, I've heard the same claim from people who go carnivore,......I don't like eating animals, I don't like veggies, plus all the toxic lectins and oxalates in veggies, so for me I feel that going to fruit based diet is going to be where I should go
Genesis says to eat only from seed bearing follage(trees).
Read Genesis 9:1-3 God gives us the authority to eat animals after the flood.
Check out esse honiball
Going to plant-based food only is the right thing to do because it not only saves the animals from needless suffering but it's also good for the planet and our health. You can get all your nutrients from plant-based food.
Actually only meat provides some of the essential macro nutrients.
@@Marley-ii6ls actually plant-based food gives you all the nutrients you need. Meat causes heart disease high blood pressure diabetes and some cancers.
Joe Best's point about letting the former gp know about changes resonated with me as I too left the system. The only thing I've seen physicians for since going wfpb is fractures (bike crash) but my last gp has left the country and the one before that has lon been retired.
20 minutes in and still no talk about what you put in the thumbnail, eggs being bad.
so i turned the video off because you guys are looking real clickbaity
What about the thousands of videos on TH-cam that show people recovering from several illnesses, feeling fantastic, and losing hundreds of pounds by switching from a vegan to a carnivorous diet?
I'm one of those people that switched to a ketogenic, high protein diet and got better. Because of how it affected my micro biome. I had some pathogenic bacteria in my God that actually preferred carbohydrates. Starving them did wonders for my health. I recovered from CFS, and two other auto immune diseases.
Fast forward, 20 years and I now have cardiovascular disease. Not for eating process food and junk but eating a zero processed food, zero sugar, low Paleo diet.
Now, switching to vegan.
Go by the results of independent scientific research
Eggs yum yum!
Hallelujah ❤
How about Biotin??
Turning your back on animal food is fine, saying it’s the wrong way when millions of people are gaining disease reversal is not right. Maybe you need to investigate the power of animal food.
Love you dr klaper!!!! Does anyone know any plant based dietician programs in California? Do they require you to go to medical school??
I’m so sad my local plant power restaurant closed recently. Does anyone know what’s happening to that chain?
Good question
most of the reversals can be related more to removing processed foods from our diets rather than plants vs. meats ~
all that really matters is you find what works best for you and keeps you healthy regardless of which one you choose and what someone else might say because if you're healthy and they are healthy.... who the hell cares what you eat ~
Yes! Whole food is the point. I eat mostly animal products and my inflammation markers are DOWN drastically.
The animals do
Not that I eat eggs, but why go overboard and claim eggs are always eaten with toast? A large percentage of eggs are boiled and eaten in salads or deviled and eaten without toast or anything else etc.
I was strictly plant based for almost 2 years and developed high blood pressure, frequent herpes outbreaks, seborrhea, borderline diabetes and insomnia. I then went on carnivore diet while eliminating all plants and all of my conditions went away. I discovered when adding back plants that it was the sugar, starch and fructose that was causing the issues. The key is 'whole food' and stay away from sugar, fructose and high carbs to be healthy.
This is absolute BS! Herpes!? 😅
If you ate wheat soy corn canola etc… these are all GMO and lots of nuts and seeds is not good either. If you eliminate them going carnivore you will heal. Initially… up to the point your adrenals can compensate… then problems start all over again… plant based can be healing or not so much … depends on what you are eating…
For those who say meat and eggs are evil & the cause of bad health, please look up Laura Spath and tell me the science behind how carnivore, cheese, and eggs transformed her life as well as her husband's life. 😮 That woman is definitely healthier now than 5 years ago.
What will these people by like by age 60 or 70. That is the real test. Animal fats and protein build up in the arteries over time, causing arteriosclerosis. Doesn’t happen overnight. Takes time. Catches up with everyone eventually if they live long enough. Im 63 and vegan for 8 years. Was a caregiver to elderly parents and my grandmother for 17 years. If you pay attention to what happens to old people, you’ll realize the plant-based doctors are right.
Poor animals - more suffering........
Nothing on this planet lives without the death of something else.
@@mattoltman7122 What a stupid reply!
Laura is still young. Check in with her in another 10 or 20 years.
Carnivore for a year here. Only meat and eggs. Pain in all my joints gone, lost 24 pounds. B.P. is 120/80.
i was carnivore as well. Wait...and you will see.
@@mesterferenc2688What happened?
Respect. I haven't yet tried pure whole food plants or pure whole food carno, but I've heard good things about both.
Just give it time. My own keto/carnivore journey started out well also. But then...total health disaster.
it well end badly and you will be a drain on the health system. it really is a dangerous fad.
Excellent....raw vegan is the only way to eat... you kill your food by cooking it so vegan is not enough, but it’s a good start🙏🏼 💜🇨🇦
❤
I am a 72y/o retired physician who started a whole food plant based diet 3 years ago. I lost 60 lbs and am off all prescription medications for hypertension and hyperlipidemia. I've started weight training, am building muscle and feel like a teenager.
How do you keep your B12 levels optimal?
I take supplements. It is not a prescription. I also take Vitamin D3, K2 Zinc and DHA from algae.
Personally I take a vegan multi supplement called Compliment i think it was roughly $35 a month but it covers all of the supplements that we WFPB eaters could ever want @versewriter8123
Thank you for speaking from first hand experience.
What do you eat for complete protein?
Great interview!! Whole foods, plant based now for over 7 years!! No chest/ heart pain and feeling great in my 65th year!
Love to hear it & thanks for the support ❤
I just love him. A life of honesty and love has kept him youthful and energetic 🎉💚✨
Wel said.
Love Dr. Klapper. He's 100 percent right. Went vegan a little over a year. Had i known what they do too these beautiful animals would have done it years ago. Once you really know how can anyone eat these beautiful sweet sentient beings?? So true about what Paul McCartney says anyone who knows what goes in a slaughter house becomes vegan. I saw some footage on Instagram and that was it for me.
I work at a desk in endocrinology and our nutritionists don't promote plant based. I believe if our clinic did, we'd go bankrupt.
Fantastic! I am a Urologist and give my patients a flyer on plant based nutrition. To bad the Cardiologists, Pediatricians, and Internists are not on the same page. You would think that endocrinologists would know that fat and oil cause insulin resistance (intra-myocellular fat), sadly they do not.
Thank you
Yeah it's strange how the mantra of high blood glucose is the main cause and not the symptom of diabetes amongst medical professionals just proves what a smokescreen is being perpetrated.
I truly believe it's in the hands of the physicians to guide the population to health. Doctors quit "doctoring" for sure when covid hit, which is another thing altogether but now, now, what an opportunity to gain the trust of the population back...whole food plant based will change the world.
@@traceybaucom5755 I do not believe that my health should be in the hands of a physician. My health is my personal responsibility. I am not sure doctoring should include dispensing nutrition advice unless a person has a lifestyle disease. (which granted, many people do). My doctor doesn't have a clue what to do with me, a healthy 62 year old on no medication.
@@cherij7000 I also believe that my health should not be in the hands of anyone else. That being said, look at the population sitting in doctor's offices every day. Millions go weekly. Most health issues stem from lifestyle. All of these people listening to everything an allopathic doctor says like God is speaking in their ear. At least if the doctor has had nutritional training and is in tune with lifestyle medicine the population would be in much better shape. My doctor as well has no clue what to do with me as a 67 year old vegan. All of this being said...I have worked with physicians for years (administratively), I worked
nearly 30 years in the environmental field (hospitals, facilities, etc.) and have worked in the mental health and legal fields. My degrees are in Psychology and I have Nutritional and Lifestyle certifications. I have taken care of dying family, all from lifestyle diseases ..and they ALL listened to allopathic doctors and made no lifestyle changes. So, since these doctors have these people's direct attention, I feel the onus is on them to educate themselves and actively promote healthy living.
Dr Klaper has a beautiful soul, lovely man.
I've turned 75 last month. I stopped eating ALL kinds of meat AND eggs in 1976, 48 years ago.
My BMI has been between 22 and 24 since I was 18 y.o.
I exercise a lot everyday in my garden, barefoot and shirtless.
I went almost only organic in 2008 (16 years ago). I dropped eating everyhing from wheat some 5 years ago. I practice Int. Fasting. I consume mostly non sweet fruits like coconut and avocado.
I've nevertaken any supplements or pharmaceutical drugs.The diseases I've had along the last 50 years was pharingiitis, that I cured with Homeophatic compound, nail fungus that I cured with iodine and a mild dengue fever that I cured with a 6 day water-only fast.
My most common staple foods for the only warm meal (dinner) are oats, lentils or other beans, organic brown rice, sweet potatoes, okra, and several greens from my garden.
As a retired engineer I live a minimalist, stress-free life in a small countryside town in Brazil.
A great video, thank you both so much. My doctor has been trying to get me on statins for years. I finally had a ct angiogram and my arteries were perfect! I do have hereditary high cholesterol but no problems from it. Thank u from Melbourne Australia xx
Most nutritionists don’t even have an understanding about a vegan diet!
Because it isn’t healthy 😂
Great video & a wonderful plant based doctor 😊 When I was diagnosed with heart disease (atherosclerosis), high blood pressure & type 2 diabetes, I was told there was nothing I could do about it, except take medication for the rest of my life. At the age of 46, I became vegan for ethical reasons, having no idea about the health benefits. I'm now 52 & have totally reversed ALL these conditions & I'm the fittest & healthiest I have ever been in my life 💚
I hope that your loved ones are listening to your story. So happy for you!
That is fantastic!! :D Blessings on you, for changing your diet for all the right reasons~ We are all connected, and what we do to others (innocent non-human animals) we do to ourselves. It is only when we stop participating in the torture of innocents, will we find our way home (as individuals, and as a species..).
I’m 63 and vegan for 8 years. I take no medications. I’m glad you were able to get off medications. Many elderly people are in kidney failure right now from medications which they have taken for the last 30+ years. The liver and kidneys were not designed to break down medication chemicals every day, year in and year out. My parents and my grandmother took high blood pressure medications for 40+ years from about age 40. Those medications had a debilitating effect on them in the long run.
fantastic news ❤
Was vegan for 5 years, was able to stay lean, felt great! Went through mild addiction and started eating meat & dairy again 😢 I’ve been eating vegan again for 7 days already feel so much better again lost 4lbs of water weight don’t wake up “hungover” from animal based food.
Dr. Klaper is a national treasure. To him, and all who work with food and lifestyle as a healing and wellness tool, I thank you. Keep up the amazing work!
Dr Klaper is not your national treasure but the treasure of all the worldwide TH-cam community.
He says that eggs are a problem because they raise cholesterol, but cholesterol actually isn't a problem. Triglycerides are. What raises triglycerides? Starch and sugars.
34:50 The host says " I've never seen anybody eat an egg without toast." He must exist in a plant based bubble. I eat plenty of eggs. I never eat toast. I eat very little wheat period. It's the worst..
Get your vitamin D from soy milk. They put it in there....
BRILLIANT
@@gmw3083 Eggs help increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels - or “good” cholesterol as it’s commonly known - and this is one reason why eggs have been found to have little to no effect on heart disease risk.
It's low-density lipoprotein (LDL) - or "bad" cholesterol - that can put heart health at risk. Meals high in saturated fats and trans-fats such as deep-fried takeaway foods are the key culprits when it comes to increased risk levels of LDL cholesterol.
Thank you so much for including the animals in this conversation. I’m vegan for the animals and believe that is what being vegan is about. Otherwise a person is plant-based. It’s much easier to stay true to your convictions of leaving animal products out of your life if you’re really doing it for them.💚 Great conversation gentleman 👏🏻
Excellent video. It’s so frustrating that people still do not accept the truth that’s in front of them…
This is because they are conditioned with the meat industry marketing that is everywhere. It’s on the street, in the ads and every supermarket is full of animal products. We need more marketing for good vegan food to slowly make a switch. So we need to do the same as they do. To advertise everywhere. 😊
Cheeseburgers, pizza, and Buffalo wings all have wheat in them. It's not the meat that's the problem.
@name one "meat industry" ad. All I see is junk food vegan ads 24/7.
So who conditioned them before marketing existed?
@@happycarnivore.....and people say vegans are a pest. They obvs never met a carnivore. *eye roll*
Thank you for this excellent interview !
Always a pleasure to see and listen to Dr Klaper !
I am just starting to watch this video. I just wanted to say, the people I know including my own family, they are just so into eating animals and all there byproducts that nothing else matters to them. I just don't get people, I have to endure a weekend of meat eaters and they just don't get me. They say you just can't live on plants yet I have done so for just about 7 years and I am older and yet to take any drugs for these sickness people of my age suffer from. I just shake my head. Keep stuffing your face with things that make you sick and I will keep going with my plants. Dr. Clapper is great.
Emotional attachment.
I find it shocking when people make assertions that vegetables and fruits are killing us. If the same funds were applied to organic fruits and vegetables as applied to animal agriculture populations would be much healthier.
PharmacoSclerosis! (@ 18:00) LMAO😂 - Love ya Dr. Klaper. It was either the FDA or the USDA sent the egg industry notice that they could not call eggs a healthy food, so the egg board had to come up with all these other nutrients, saying they are good for you. But obviously can be gotten from healthy plant-based sources too!
👏🏼 🙌 Vegan for animals and health 💚
34 yrs vegan, and- though I had true allergies to dairy and eggs- and was raised with the SAD like everyone else... the ONLY thing that stopped me- out of the blue, one day, at age 29- was walking by the smelly, flesh- decomposing, meat counter at Whole Foods, and having an a-ha moment of the tremendous suffering of animals -required for the 5 min taste sensation for humans... From that moment on, that awareness in my heart/soul was the driving motivation to never eat animal flesh again. Later, I would travel cross country, and pass by the despicable, cruel, inhumane, barbaric factory farms of the midwest, with cows knee deep in their own manure, confined in the glaring sun and heat with no shelter, and with no green space in sight... I had many many pig slaughter transport trucks pass me on the highway- with the pigs' intelligent and conscious eyes peering out of the slats in crowded trucks, with horror/fear/desperation in their eyes... later, learning that these transport trucks did not provide water or food or climate control, and these suffered in untold ways until, and including, their way of death. I will NEVER EVER support this industry in any way again in my life.
Yet you support the killing and torture of of animals to grow the grains and fruits and vegetables you eat. There is no human food without death and destruction of animals. Your way of eating is just as cruel but it happens far away from you out in the fields so you can delude yourself into thinking that “ No AnImaLs WerE HarMeD for the FoOd I eat”.
Stop with the lies and self delusion. You’re no better than the rest of us.
I wish people would stop saying that it is hard to eat fresh soups salads and legumes. It is a diet all you can eat. You’re never hungry. The food is wonderful! And immediately, you see and feel the benefits of eating Whole Food Plant Based.
It’s the same stuff ALL the time. Just beans salads and veg that’s it. Pretty boring
One of the worst is HMOs, the doctors must adhere to a standard of care protocol. I've to fight everyone from MD to assistants, to self manage my health primarily thru diet, lifestyle, exercise. If I even mention reversal, I'd be blacklisted as a difficult patient.
So what? Make a stand and stand up for yourself. Be brave.
I just don't go to my doctor. I haven't shown up for a checkup in years. I get the odd call, text, email, and written correspondents to allow them to manage my health care. I only respond to the phone calls, and after I allow them all the time they need to make their pitch, I tell them that I will make an appointment as soon as I have a problem. Then I politely say thanks and goodbye and hang up. 😁
Love Dr. Klaper he is such a wonderful teacher. ❤
Dr. Klapper is a jewel! His smile is so contagious ❤
😄❤️
Today on my gardening post in Facebook. Someone said they like artichokes with olive oil on them and then they eat it with mayonnaise. I mentioned that that’s not really healthy considering how you had a healthy thing and turned it into an oil dish. The responses were I’m not worried about that, I love mayonnaise and olive oil is healthy. As Dr. Klaper has always said it is the food that dictates our health.💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Olives are nutritious and a handful of them contains a small amount of oil. The amount of extracted olive oil found in dressings, dipping sauces and mayo is too much. It is possible to have too much of a “good” thing, turning it into a bad thing.
I love dr Klapper, such an inspiring person! Thank you for visiting Poland in the past!! And empowering doctors and us, regular people :D
I needed to hear this interview to feel confident about my WFPB lifestyle choices again. So easy for doubt to creep in amongst all the opposing social media noise.
My GP dumped me when I told her I was eating vegan. I have not been to a doctor in 14 yrs. due to this.
You’re lucky to get away from that doctor.. I dumped my doctor when they questioned my decision to go plant-based.
Why would she dump you for that?
Her loss. She obviously could have learned something valuable from you!
I had a similar response. I was told 'Vegans have less energy'. Just what the..!?
No more source of income 😅
Thank you both! What an informative interview. Dr. Klapper is one of my Plant Based heroes.
the term "Bean counter" has just been redefined, loved that! thank you Joe, Dr K and pbn ❤️
Thanks so much for your support ❤
It's a shame that, according to the comments on protein and "complete protein" here, people are still kept so ignorant by the mainstreams. They have you right where they want you.
Dr klapper is my jam.
I love Dr Klapper. He's on my list of physicians I am thankful for.
Love this plant based power
😂😂 laughable nonsense
Fixed my angina heart disease. Then found out that I have prostate cancer in 2018. When the psa test went up to 7.76 in and doctor had me take a MRI a months 1/2 later. Then finally when I had my next doctor visit and had another psa test. They had me fill out some paper work asked me if I change anything and I wrote down a whole plant base diet. Found out my psa test came back 3.31. Then the doctor told me if the psa test came up again they were going to do another biopsy. That was last year and that was all had to tell me! This March psa was 2.66.
BTW, I found out that the plant base meat substitute mimics meat to well causing the cancer to grow. Now I make black bean burgers! No problem!
This! Thus is absolutely true. PSA will go down. My husbands went down as well on no dairy. That was before we went WFPB. Now we are WFPB.
Thank you. Ace interview xxxx
Me again! Why eat the middle man? Don't eat plant eaters, eat the plants yourself.
Because plant eaters have a digestive system that can get the nutrients out of the plants that my system can't.
Circle of life.
I went on plant base diet two years ago my blood counts are good compared what they were. I will stay on a vegan diet plant based because I've seen what it's doing for me.
Whoke food plant baded for 7 yrs. now, will never go back.
Big part of the problem is that the powers that be do NOT want to see people healthy. So much $ and energy is put into driving disease, disability & premature death.
You can talk sense but you CANNOT make people sensible. Great interview. Fruit and veggies for me, mainly fruit. People become TRIGGERED if they are eating meat, dairy and eggs. Just cannot handle the TRUTH just too programmed. Ego rears its ugly head. Now that RFK Jr and DJT are all about health everything will change for the better. HEALTHIER PEOPLE is what we all want.😊
"So tell me again, you're saying that for around 2,000,000,000 years life on this planet, the third one from it's star has had no alternative other than to 'eat each other'? With the result being a veritable blood fest for 99.99% of life ever since? But since we were here last there's a new kid on the block with the ability not only to ponder all that, but the dexterity, intellect and cultural rigidity to - for the first time - massively reduce the bloodshed and suffering..? Pass me the popcorn Zzorg and budge up, this should be good. We don't see potential for change like this very often... ... .. ... .. .. Oh that's disappointing..." : )
I used to be plant based for decades before it was cool. Absorption of some nutrients was obviously difficult. I noticed when I ate an egg I felt fantastic and it helped my heart condition. I then started intermittent fasting of 18 hours a day. Now I feel better than when I was 18.
49 yo and diagnosed 2 years ago with psoriatic arthritis. I was at a pain level of 10 and almost in a wheelchair. I went vegan and I went down to a 5 pain level and now able to function. I unfortunately still have to do some medication so to not exacerbate my condition. But I feel great all my lbs are perfect and my doctor is amazed that just by diet alone I have cut my pain level in half.
Love Dr. Klapper!
You are radical if you diminish their profitability. I think the only time "radical" is okay is when it is part of a disinfomercial. (i.e. "Check out this 'radical' new diet! You'll be losing weight and spending money in no time!")
I didmt even started watching the video. But i love it
I'm 66 and eaten lots of eggs most of my life. I've got great cholesterol and triglycerides? No prescriptions and healthy? How are eggs bad? Is it just the large factory farms? I'm thin and it hasn't caused high sugar either? I'm confused
Love this man!
I remember that old video describing this.......and I have felt VERY sleepy after eating a high fat meal......I suspect it's the blood sludge slowing down the blood flow to my brain.
Would love a deep dive into milk/dairy just like this discussion on eggs. Great discussion
From the Cheeseburger, do you think the 46 different ingredients in the Bun, Cheese, Ketchup, Pickle and Mustard are very healthy, but the Beef, Salt and Pepper in the patty is to blaim for all health issues ?
Home made food made from plants and animals as they occure in nature, gardens and farms is a good start to a healthy diet.
As low carb as possible, say 5-10% of energy intake for diabetics.
"Rice and beans don't complain and I've never heard a carrot scream." One of the best lines in this whole video! :) We love you and your work Dr. Klaper! I wish everyone practicing medicine and working in healthcare took on this attitude about health. What a difference it could make! I am almost done with Nursing school and I work as a Nurse assistant in the Emergency room... you're absolutely right that the overwhelming majority of people who come in for treatment are the victims of lifestyle diseases and self-inflicted ailments from poor choices (mostly dietary, alcohol, and tobacco intake along with sedentary ways of life). They are the epitome of the standard American diet and lifestyle. It's really sad. And more and more, we are seeing young people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s coming in with strokes and heart attacks... it all goes back to this awful way of life that has become all too common here in the States. It's really sad. ALL of this is PREVENTABLE and REVERSIBLE!!
WOW absolutely wonderful!
Thanks so much!
