Dear Dr. McDougall, Our family has been following your diet advice (which my mom knew and taught us) since the '70's. No cancer, or any health issues, at all and there are over 30 of us now, and some are enjoying good health in their mid 90's. Thank you!!
Hello dr mcdougall. I am a conservative christian truck driver from oklahoma. Since meat eating was allowed and even prescribed in the old testament, i had dismissed veganism. But in the garden, or the more perfect state, there was no meat consumption, so maybe God later allowed it since food might be scarce. Anyway, i try to follow truth wherever it leads and it seems in your life so have you. I respect you for that and i think you may be on to something. Your defense of the historical starch diet makes perfect sense to me. Your medical explanation about MS and autoimmunity was quite compelling. I will play that video for my wife when i get home. She has sarcoidosis and i have hashimotos. The last 2 weeks on the road ive been eating grits for breakfast and beans, rice, mashed potatoes or corn for dinner. I dont even miss meat. Ive moved my belt notch to #6 for the 1st time in years. After watching your video my brother and sister in law are adopting your diet. Thank you dr for standing up to the absolute evil in the medical system. God bless you, sir!
The old school Southern diet -- lots of seasonal veggies slow cooked and eaten with beans, rice, and potatoes is easy to accomplish as long as you leave out the dairy and fat. It's easy to make low fat and delicious cornbread. I have discovered that smoked paprika and garlic will season your greens as well as any kind of sidemeat. Grits with okra and corn and tomatoes have replaced grits with fried eggs and bacon. I'm never hungry and am slowlyand steadily losing weight even though I am still not 100 percent perfect. Hang in there!!! Just as an aside, the traditional Biblical diet is based largely on grains, veggies, fruits, and legumes. Meat was reserved for high holy days. Even people in the middle East now eat lots of veggies for breakfast. Hummus and salad is a typical Israeli breakfast!!
Good on you! People don't think about how God didn't change human biology in any way after they got kicked from the Garden. Humans have always been, and still are, herbivores. You could almost think of it like a challenge from a parent to His children. We were naughty so we were kicked out of the house. We had some rough few thousand years but we made it. Now we've grown up enough that we have the ability and opportunity to make a home very similar to what we had before. We could make a similar Garden and live once again on the beautiful bounty we were always meant to eat.
And also the Daniel diet is vegetarian ,isn't it? I had the exact same response. If it's in the bible, it's ok. Fasting is good. But maybe there's good better and best.
This man is a legend, known world wide (i'm writing this from Romania so believe me when i say he's known world wide) i followed his advices and those of Caldwell Esselstyn, Klapper and M. Greger and may others they've changed my life and got back my health, and i thought i was ok, only after a few years on a plant based diet i was able to compare and realise how sick i was before, so just wanted to say THANK YOU!!
@@saapasseblief9464 50-60 grams you don't really need to pay attention to protein rather to calories 40-50 or more depending on how much exercise you do daily
I haven't consumed dairy for 50 years. My Doc told me I'd develop osteoporosis. At 68, so far so good - perfectly normal bones. I gave up animal products over a dozen years ago. I get my blood drawn every year - all measurements in the normal range and I don't have to take any "elderly-medications". BMI is 23. I eat a whole food plant based diet i.e., McDougall's plan and many of Mary's recipes. I eat whenever I am hungry and eat until I am satiated. I am perfectly healthy. I never diet. Think about it - do cows drink cows milk? No, they don't. Humans are the only being that consumes the lactations of a different species. None of the grazing mammals of earth - giraffe's, hippos, chimpanzees, deer & elk, elephants, mice, etc. consume milk of any species after weaning. This is a great lifestyle!
I love this way of eating, but I’m ready to give up because of the pain I get from eating so much starch and veggies. How did you deal with it? I’ve tried cycling veggies, I tried switching up my legume’s- nothing. I’m so gassy, my stomach gets bloated and I get pain. I feel healthy and light in my feet and definitely immediately dropped weight. My stomach just hurts allllll the time.
unfortunately i ate the "atkins diet" way for about 25 years i did eat a salad maybe 3 times a week plus i drank alcohol & used a tanning bed & smoked because i worked 5-6 days a week i thought tanning smoking & drinking were my rewards for working so hard, i was thin & had muscles but when i turned 51 i was 50 lbs over weight couldn't burp or fart my stomach got bloated every time i ate no matter what it was (no veg of course) well i watched what the health & the very next day i went plant based i am all better now almost 4 years later & i will NEVER GO BACK! i also quit drinking smoking & tanning.
Dr. McDougall I cannot thank you enough for the knowledge you share and for being brave enough to do it with no apologies. Your teachings and dietary recommendations have saved my life and I know this. Everything you’ve said has been 100% true for me and I literally feel like I have my life back and even better than before because of your advice. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I’m only 6 days in, have fibromyalgia and already feel 75% better. I was eating this way last year but only made it a month then the holidays came and I caved. Back for good!
Dr. McDougall, thank you for everything you have contributed to debunk the misinformation in the medical community - you have profoundly made a positive impact in my life!
Returning to watching McDougall lectures after what's been a while, I remember why I found watching them so healing, not just from the physical perspective - if their conclusions are applied. I find them healing to watch because they're a source of truth and because Dr. McDougall is so inspiring in the way he fights for the truth. He's a rebel and a truth teller and I find the presence of rebels and truth tellers most comforting of all when I feel like I'm lost. To be around, be it just in thought, someone who knows what's what and who's not afraid to say it, and to be around someone I can learn from, and who reminds me just how great of a contribution one individual can make to this world, it fills me with feelings of hope. And there's so much love in his communication, love for those whose wellbeing he's tried to save - humans and animals alike - such clear constant displays of love for his family, love for his heroes, love for the planet. So much respect for this man. Wish I could even be 1% of the person he is. Thank you Dr. McDougall.
Finally a doctor that acknowledges this!! I was reading the Mucusless Diet Healing system by Arnold Ehret (1930s) and he spoke about this at length which I thought was mind blowing. Glad to see modern doctors supporting this because it resonated so much with me
Such an excellent and informative talk, thank you Dr. McDougall and Heather. If anyone wants proof of how well someone can live and how good someone can look, Heather is all the example needed.
Wonderful talk on protein requirements! I changed from vegetarian to vegan in Oct, 2021 thanks to a utube lecture of John McDougall What a blessing! I am 65 and a long-distance runner. I am a tennis coach on weekends and never felt fitter! No aches and no knees pain after exercise. Unfortunately most people don't GET it! And doctors in India are not bothered what their patients eat. And some recommend a high protein diet. Pediatricians too. Dairy protein for kids is promoted. When will the world change this wrong Mindset. Each of us listening to this lecture must quote these truths in whatever way we can!
You are the first indian in 6 years of following Dr McDougall that I met . Veganism in india is next to impossible. They are so sure about their ayurveda that nothing is wrong except them.
So grateful that Dr. McDougall's message is here for others to find. He was a generous man to have shared his knowledge so freely. I have been a follower for years. Unfortunately for my health, I have not followed the diet! I am moving back to a WFPB, starch centered diet, for my health. His family in my thoughts and prayers during this time following his death. We have lost a pioneer.
Such an awesome talk. Thank you Dr Mcdougall for not stopping to share the truth so many people need to hear. And thank you Heather for all you do. I just love and respect the Mcdougall family soooo much!!🥰
Sound advice and insight. I've been plant based now for over 2 years and feel great. Funny because where I work 3 people are on medication for high blood pressure, one is hobbling around with inflammation and another is grossly overweight and always has some kind of health issues. And I'm the one who gets ridiculed. 🤣🤣
How did you stay consistent? I've started about 5 days ago and havent craved the junk since then. Does it remain this way or does the temptation eventually kick in?
@@sis_yd_jesuschrist Well I did eat the typical Western diets for 51 years and went plant based almost overnight. You'll find it easier to make your own meals. I do have the odd bit of processed vegan food but most stick to a whole food plant based diet. In the early days I did eat something which I shouldn't have, just read the labels and don't stress if you have the odd mishap. Eating out is getting easier in general (obviously not atm) Good luck on your journey, I have never regretted my decision. Family members still eat animal products but they also eat plenty of the food I prepare as well. People will make their own minds up. Best of luck. 👍
@@cheshirehomebrew thank you for your response. I'm definitely enjoying the transition and I want to do this for life. I'm sick and tired if feeling sick and tired. I'm 5 days in and have a bit of energy after a long day at work I came home and walked my dog mind you I have been a couch potato since the age of 10. Thank you for the best wishes take care
@@sis_yd_jesuschristyou get tempted sometimes and sometimes you'll fail but when you fell you feel horrible and so that the failing tends to get longer and longer between when you do because it is good to feel good
I so admire you, Dr. McDougall. In just looking at You Tube channels and all the people you have helped to not only lose weight but to regain their health and all for free!!! No telling how many people NOT on You Tube you have helped. What an unsung hero you are. Hope to meet you someday. The amount of protein is different for different age groups? As a 76 year old woman, how would I calculate my protein intake?
This needs more views!! I went on the starch solution and had incredible results. No more greasy hair! It was awful, had to shower twice a day sometimes. Now I wash my hair every other day. Acne is gone. The best so far is my hypothyroid medications have been stopped. I found that the longer I did the diet the more I felt sick taking them. Now I'm off of them completely which is amazing because I've been taking them since I was 14 years old and am now 33 years old. Never been healthier!
This is so so true! It’s all a giant advertising campaign people haven’t cottoned on to. For most changing ones diet is a huge thing for many reasons emotionally, mentally and culturally. For me health overrides any of these things but I’ve always been called weird so eating the way I do I don’t care 😅
Both the McDougall's skin looks so good- looks like they're using an anti-aging filter! Dr. McDougall looks so proud of his daughter. Great video, thank you :)
I believe in eating for my blood type, which is O- .... and I'd like to eat clean. I've an assortment of Raw Nuts..& pumpkin seeds... But no cashews. 1 month ago today, was hit by a car, thrown 50ft. Landing on my face. Am now in an acute care senior center. Needless to say the food is less than optimal... Not able to walk YET, but am healing fast. I'm doing my own PT. Out of necessity, doubling up on everything each day... I have a bunch of titanium in my left shoulder & left foot. Thank God for your helpful advice and guidance... 💜AGAPE 2 Y'ALL 💜
Good content. I wish more people would listen to you. I went to eating a starch based diet with fruits and vegetables and got healthy and slim. No more medications anything. People look and see im lean and not carrying alot of fat on me. Some people are rude but when I look at them it's sad. They look like they are suffering from food poison. So large with bulges on top of them. All that you say is 100% correct. Thank you for all that you have done to educate us about the potatoe and stach based eating, living and dieting.
I've been eating Quinoa for the past 3 days with a lentil and vegetable soup on top and I am never hungry between meals .And I am usually the kind of person that eats every 2-3h , now I easily go 6h between meals
The best part of this entire talk was when he said “ do we have to eat protein from muscles to build muscles and eat bones to build bones and brains to build brains so what do we eat to improve our sex lives? 😫 I died laughing!
Thank you! I Started following your recommeded diet 5 years ago. I have one great hummus recipe: smash together 1 can of chick peas, 1 or 2 garlic clove, juice of 1 lemon slice, 1-2 tablespoon of apple vinegar, 0.5 teaspoon salt, little bit chilli... smash all with handmixer or potato smasher. it tastes so great. I eat it with fresh cabbage or cucumber pieces usually
Dear doctor McDougall, this lecture is wonderful! An accumulated knowledge amassed over a lifetime. I would love to have a copy of this for my library. If you have not done so already, would you please offer a DVD set on your website? I would buy extras to give away to people who need to hear this. God bless you sir
I don’t think I commented on this talk but it is one of the only places where the science is being brought out for any person, no matter their background, can understand. Not only that, there is solid explanations and examples of primary source material and how anyone can now access and learn about the research papers to check for factual information being given. Learning about one’s own body, its functions and what the processes are for common diseases is so helpful for people to be able to make informed decisions on their health and their family’s health. There is solid explanations much bs out there that learning the tools to not get scammed is essential because in the end people are out there to make money anyway they can, even if it’s made up ideas instead of fact. This basic intro to protein is the most important thing to learn of because it has the greatest impact on quality of life. Just being shown what has happened over time to science by industry is an eye opener that lets people start asking questions about how they know things are true. I would love for science to no longer be trampled for ideas and beliefs that do so much harm. Thank you for taking the time to teach people the basics that can protect them from being taken advantage of. ❤
I wish my brother would have listened to Dr McDougall and other plant-based doctors. He died a few months ago of pancreatic cancer. He had just retired, was in his mid-60s, and was otherwise seemingly healthy, except for high blood pressure. He ate keto/paleo for the last about 20 years. It's so sad. I tried to give him books, argue sometimes, etc., but he was a stubborn guy who thought he knew better than his little sister (me).
Sorry for the loss of your brother...i lost a sibling too..also an organ cancer....Im afraid for myself bc we are related...Im trying to follow Dr. Mcdougal..so far my acid reflux gone but it was replaced with joint pain in every friggin joint i mean! Hope it goes away...Any imput why this is happening ? Thanks..
Dr Mcdougall this makes total sense!!! We have been lied to for a very long time I think ... by meat, dairy and big pharma !!! I had gastric bypass surgery a couple years ago and I’m still fat !!! I am going to try your plan... I love potatoes and beans and vegetables... I never could keep up with all the protein that was recommended after surgery... and so low carbs... this whole food plant based I can totally do !!! 😀😀😀 Thank you Dr Mcdougall
I love that, “Well, let’s look at the science.” After seeing things believed with little science used to make the decision to believe. You can learn reasoning here too.
Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa, Dr. McDougall and Heather. I loved your videos on potatoes. Watched/listened to both of them the same day. Now, listening to both protein videos. Tragic that rats (& others) are used to determine what is or isn't healthy, and what is or isn't safe as medication for humans.
Thank you for giving of your time and knowledge so freely. Thank you for educating folks on how to live healthier! The planet and the animals also thank you.
Went back to eating SAD, now over weight, feel tied all the time, and I will not go back to the SAD again. Besides your food taste good. Real good. Thank you Dr. McDougal for all you have done with eating this way. Making affordable and every day normal. My son has had a mild heart attack and he said he can not eat starches and listens to his doctor. Sounds like he is on a keto type diet. no carbs like bread, starches or beans.
My high protein diet has led me to osteoporosis now. It's hard to overcome and have experienced many bone breaks. The important thing now is to eat properly, and do the exercises necessary to strengthen my bones. Thank you Dr. McDougall for all this great information.
Thank you and Mary for all your knowledge experiences and courage. I’m 78 no medications. My young grandson developed type 1 diabetes at 6 over 3 years ago I started doing my own research. I am so grateful I found your teachings. Thank you very much.
I have gone to a whole food plant-based diet and I'm trying to get my diabetes under control I've gone off all my diabetes meds and had to start adding back because I was getting too high around 4 and 500 so I added insulin back still getting high so I added a glimepiride back now I have to work harder to see what's going on. Thank you for all your videos they're really helping.
Thank you it’s a great lecture and so very inspiring. It has helped me a lot. It healed my microbiome after I had had been treated with much too much penicillin because of a lot of infection as a child - and then severe migraines. I was healed from a low fat low salt macrobiotic rice, millet, buckwheat and cooked vegetables -but I did not know the science behind until now. I am so greatfull, but wish I had known much earlier. 🙏🏻🎵🌺🎶♥️
Thank you dr mcdougall ❤ Im 22 days on starch solution,and LOVE it!!❤️🥰👍 I have very high blood pressure, and have my appendix removed when I was 2 years old!. On 22 days, I have lost 8 pounds, but still suffer from constipation, wich I hope will be better and better over time. 22 days are not much yet, but there i a world of difference, It is actually very funny to feel that Im slimming on the inside of my body, I can feel that there is more free space in my chest, and beginning also to feel it in my intestines, like the inflamations are subsiding!!😂❤WAUW!!😂👍love it. I dont take any medications, refused my doctors pressure to take blodpressure medicine, He replied, I cant take responsebility for you then! I replied: the only one taking responsebility for me and my health, is me!!!. I was NOT born with high blood pressure, so there is something i am doing wrong, I will find out, and correct it, as said, so done!!!😍😀😘👍 We, my husband and I, have bought 3 of the mcdougall books, and, all I can say, we are NEVER EVER going back!!. Thank you for all you do, to Heather, John, and Mary, allso love and hugs to Chef AJ❤🤗🥰😘👍from Denmark 🇩🇰
I had high blood pressure the Dr said for me to change my diet and go low sodium and he would check my blood pressure in a month. So when I was I was talking to my sister she told me that maybe I should try the plant based diet that my mom was on. So my mom has became my couch for the diet. Her diet was the starch solution. I have been on this diet that for two months now but not only that but I went back to get my blood pressure at it had been retaken when I was on the starch solution for two weeks and my blood pressure was normal. I not only brought down my blood pressure but I had lost 21 pounds within two weeks. I felt good but then when I weighed myself the next week I gained 10 of those back because I ate pasta all week and cooked some days with oil. So know I am not using oil. I was also walking for those two weeks and ever since the fires started I have not been walked by but doing arrobic exercises in my house.😊
Hi doctor, can you give me advice on your stroke? I had a stroke in July of 2021 and now I’m following a plant diet. Thank you! I have sweet potatoes every morning for breakfast.
The Danish researcher is Mikkel Hindhede - and the Danes experienced better health during the 1940’s because of lack of the rich foods. People had to eat less protein and less rich foods and got healthier
I’ve been a vegetarian for over 50 years and have used Diet for a Small Planet as a guide for combining foods to get complete protein from plant sources. I don’t know if it’s right or wrong but there it is.
Dr Mc D I would love for you to do a talk on the collagen/gelatin and all the protein powders craze which is booming ! I work in a health store and it sells like hot cakes. It goes to show how people believe all the hype and advertising promises while handing over their cash with glee. 🙄
When my kids were small, I was extremely poor. We lived on a plant based diet Potatoes, greens, beans, cornmeal, biscuits and rice. It's all we could afford. I had trouble qualifying for WIC as my kids were too healthy. In fact after getting WIC as a "prevention" against malnourishment my kids tests were worse. We eventually got qualified for food stamps. The only meat we ate is if it went on a major markdown.
I have not heard Dr McDougall speak about the importance of keeping a 4 to 1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3s. Chesapeake Urology uses that ratio to successfully treat prostate cancer. It slows down the cancer significantly.
I have a question. From what I understood it wasn’t protein that could cause complications, it was pernicious anemia. Is that more from iron deficiency or lack of B12. Can a vegan diet resolve that complication?
Iron is everywhere, we actually have too much iron. B12 is produced by our own body naturally when the body works well on a vegan diet without alcohol and processed food
Oh, Dr. Mcdougall, we miss you. Thank you for listening to God to help his people. You are indeed the faithful servant of the most high God. Blessings to the family you left behind.
Dr. McDougall, finally made it here to your IRIE TH-cam Channel,thank you for your help for all of us who listen to ya and of course also your beautiful and witty wife, Mary! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise, 👍and greetings👋for your family and you from Querétaro, Mexico. Oh and also subbed.😊
I forgot to mention that the same trampling of science for comfortable beliefs that generate profit is also erasing history. So it’s good that this presentation talks about history that is being obscured, ignored and rewritten.
Doesn't the current evidence show that to maintain health, you need a protein amount of 1.2 to 1.6 g per kilogram of body weight, which works out to be approximately 60 to 80 g of protein per day?
One thing I can say from experience that eating fake meat only makes you crave actual animal meat. Which leads you back into old habits of eating. It did me. Then I just kept getting stomach and bowel issues. Why? Real meat and fake meat. Had zero issues eating a starch heavy, plant centered diet. My cholesterol went up and my blood pressure too. So bad the doctors threatened to put me on lots of medication if I didn't get it under control. Guess what I did? Fed the cat the meat and I am going back on a McDougall based diet. I may modify it a bit, but basically right from the books I own. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I am currently recovering from several broken bones including my clavicle, which needed surgery to fix. I was on my ebike just slowing down for the light when a skateboarder plowed into me and I woke up in the ICU. I am 64 and I was going to work. Eating the McDougall way has allowed me to heal faster than I was. My first set of X-rays after I got out of the hospital showed minimal healing. I quit the meat and focused on starch and vegetables with some fruit and guess what my next set and the CT showed of my brain which was bruised and bleeding at first. 2 weeks between X-rays CT was 3 weeks between the last one at the hospital and the following one. Healing fast. My shoulder had very limited usage at first and now almost back to normal. I should be released to go back to work on Thursday. 8 weeks since the accident. I am so grateful for you guys. If I was still eating a meat based diet, I sincerely doubt I would be as healthy as I am and ready to work. I am a personal shopper at Walmart. So I lift 44 pounds up to chest high on a regular basis. That is what a case of water weighs or a large sack of pet food. I may have to take it easy for a week or two, but I have tested myself with heavier items and with doing most of the lifting with my left I can manage it. One more week of staying at home and I can go back to work. Thank you so much for everything. My doctor's were amazed at the difference in my healing. They didn't say much, just big smiles on their faces. I didn't get a chance to tell them the secret. If they give me a chance I will for sure. ❤
i like realness and passion and after 5 minutes of watching this man i sence both in abundance , great man we are not human we are spirit, a soul thats come here to live in a human body for a very very short exsperience compared to our real reality of spirit the main thing were getting wrong here is eating animals . question yaself and look into the subject more
your diet should be 1/4 veggies, 1/4 fruits, 1/4 legumes, 1/4 whole grains and a bit of seeds and nuts I dont really care that much about it tho i just buy whole foods i like. with variety of course(a bit of it)
Great insight Dr. Only diary product I eat is, yogurt . My question is.... Is yogurt heart healthy? Otherwise I am vegetarian. What does your research say?
Also I'm very concerned about the way that my skin is drying out!;; I'm used to having 2-3 T of EVOO every day on a dark greens salad. Also, I use real butter, which is impossible to get here. And I like to eat fish 2- 3x a week. How do I receive the oils my body needs to avoid this annoying itchy, dry skin? 😢🥴😮💨....on a vegan diet? When at home I was also using castor oil, coconut oil, frankincense and lavender. With a king sized heating pad under my back all night. so I didn't experience much pain while sleeping... But, here I've got to take all these pain meds 😢. I was taking Frankincense orally also. Thank you for any suggestions you may have. Getting out of here ASAP, is of course my ultimate goal ! ❤🎉❤ !
I agree. There is so much missinformation, and everyone is an expert, that we are left to decide and figure it out alone what could be right and what could be wrong. And we pay for following the wrong experts with our health and ultimately lives.
It is really difficult to really pay attention to your powerful video, when it is interrupted every 5 minutes by ads. Even worse, is that these ads are full of products you would never want people to consume. What a shame.
I'm really curious whether Dr.Mcdougall got vaccinated or not for Covid 19. I sincerely respect Dr. Mcdougall's way and I want to protect my body by my own immune system without any side effect.
I would like to know that too. I went and got the Johnson & Johnson oh, and I would not do it again. I'm hearing that coronavirus 19 lives off from cholesterol. And I do not eat cholesterol.
I heard him say on TH-cam recently that he and Mary did get the first shots but that he felt that further vaccinations were not useful - I’m paraphrasing because I don’t remember his exact words.
I have Multiple Sclerosis and I am getting worse every day. I've tried the medications, I keep getting worse. I can walk a couple steps and that's about it and the fatigue is overwhelming. I feel like I'm on deaths door. I think this may be my only hope left although my actual doctor has warned me against a strict vegan diet. Any advice?
Dr McDougall has information on MS on his website, and probably also videos on TH-cam. There's another pro-plant-based-diet doctor who has worked with MS, I believe, but I forget his name, sorry.
Also check out Dr. Brooke Goldner. There is so much damage that animal products can do in setting up autoimmune disease, it's smart to drop them immediately (I also have MS, btw). But of course, just as in a non-vegan diet, you need good nutrition through whole plant foods, and sufficient calories. Goldner has interesting input on Omega 3:6 ratios and autoimmune - I'm now watching this more closely in my diet since reading her books, and sometimes do her smoothie protocol.
I have been eating plant based food for almost 6 years. I recently went to get my blood work done, my doctor told me I am a little low on protein and he said that it’s not too bad but be careful 😮 I am concerned about it, I eat plenty of black beans, and other foods with protein. I got so worried that I just started a plante base powder shake. I don’t like it. Not sure what to do.
They did blood work and my protein results are: Protein value 6.1 g/dL Reference Range 6.0 -7.7 g/ dL I do not know much about medical things but I think I am barely at the range that I supposed to be at 🤷🏻♀️
I went to the doctors last week and my total cholesterol was 300. I told him that I follow a WFPB SOS free diet. He said I must have familial high cholesterol. Is there anything that can help this beside cholesterol medicine. I never thought I’d have to face this. I feel so helpless. I’ve tried so hard to stay off medication. My mother and step father both died in their 50’s and I’ve never met my biological father. Growing up with sick parents I’ve tried my best to avoid this. So upsetting.
@Joan B Did you lower it without drugs? I thought that I wrote some of your post😂 2 years ago I got 280 cholesterol results. Some doctors said that it must be hereditary because my parents have that, and my weight and BMI was good. One doctor advised to go on statins ASAP. I was only 40 then, and not planning to deal with more drugs for years to come. The doctor who was treating me agreed with me to keep monitoring my blood, and I decided to change and tweak my diet even more. After about a year more or less, my cholesterol was 180👍👍👍 So I proved that it is not hereditary for me, and it can be controled and lowered by different diet and nutrition.
Have a look at Dr. Neal Barnard's video on reversing kidney damage. (Not sure if McDougall has made videos on this). McDougall and Barnard know each other, so I don't think he will mind me mentioning Barnard....."It's the food" -Heather McDougall
Dear Dr. McDougall,
Our family has been following your diet advice (which my mom knew and taught us) since the '70's. No cancer, or any health issues, at all and there are over 30 of us now, and some are enjoying good health in their mid 90's. Thank you!!
Can I ask if you guys take B12 and Omega 3s?
💕💕💕💕💕
@@Mimicry161 I’m 54, and yes I take vit B12😊
That's wonderful and inspiring!
miles kirk Thank you for sharing! Do you or your family members take B12 or omega 3 supplements?

Good luck on your diet change, I know that it helped me with my angina. Check out the movie “forks over knives” I think you will find it helpful.
The old school Southern diet -- lots of seasonal veggies slow cooked and eaten with beans, rice, and potatoes is easy to accomplish as long as you leave out the dairy and fat. It's easy to make low fat and delicious cornbread. I have discovered that smoked paprika and garlic will season your greens as well as any kind of sidemeat. Grits with okra and corn and tomatoes have replaced grits with fried eggs and bacon. I'm never hungry and am slowlyand steadily losing weight even though I am still not 100 percent perfect. Hang in there!!! Just as an aside, the traditional Biblical diet is based largely on grains, veggies, fruits, and legumes. Meat was reserved for high holy days. Even people in the middle East now eat lots of veggies for breakfast. Hummus and salad is a typical Israeli breakfast!!
Good on you! People don't think about how God didn't change human biology in any way after they got kicked from the Garden. Humans have always been, and still are, herbivores. You could almost think of it like a challenge from a parent to His children. We were naughty so we were kicked out of the house. We had some rough few thousand years but we made it. Now we've grown up enough that we have the ability and opportunity to make a home very similar to what we had before. We could make a similar Garden and live once again on the beautiful bounty we were always meant to eat.
And also the Daniel diet is vegetarian ,isn't it? I had the exact same response. If it's in the bible, it's ok. Fasting is good. But maybe there's good better and best.
Yes and the animals in th garden weren't food either🤭
This man is a legend, known world wide (i'm writing this from Romania so believe me when i say he's known world wide) i followed his advices and those of Caldwell Esselstyn, Klapper and M. Greger and may others they've changed my life and got back my health, and i thought i was ok, only after a few years on a plant based diet i was able to compare and realise how sick i was before, so just wanted to say THANK YOU!!
👍👍
Hi I am from Romania living in USA , can I ask you what was you body signals when you got sick and If you are still eating plant base diet?
@@maricutalup5475 are you for real right now?
How much protein we need everyday?
@@saapasseblief9464 50-60 grams you don't really need to pay attention to protein rather to calories
40-50 or more depending on how much exercise you do daily
I haven't consumed dairy for 50 years. My Doc told me I'd develop osteoporosis. At 68, so far so good - perfectly normal bones. I gave up animal products over a dozen years ago. I get my blood drawn every year - all measurements in the normal range and I don't have to take any "elderly-medications". BMI is 23. I eat a whole food plant based diet i.e., McDougall's plan and many of Mary's recipes. I eat whenever I am hungry and eat until I am satiated. I am perfectly healthy. I never diet.
Think about it - do cows drink cows milk? No, they don't. Humans are the only being that consumes the lactations of a different species. None of the grazing mammals of earth - giraffe's, hippos, chimpanzees, deer & elk, elephants, mice, etc. consume milk of any species after weaning. This is a great lifestyle!
💕💕💕💕💕
I dont drink milk but i will eat a grassfed cow
Uhhh yeah...cows actually do drink milk from their mother's (cow's milk)
I love this way of eating, but I’m ready to give up because of the pain I get from eating so much starch and veggies. How did you deal with it? I’ve tried cycling veggies, I tried switching up my legume’s- nothing. I’m so gassy, my stomach gets bloated and I get pain. I feel healthy and light in my feet and definitely immediately dropped weight. My stomach just hurts allllll the time.
@@vanessakargbo2129 sane here. I can’t seem to get past it.
unfortunately i ate the "atkins diet" way for about 25 years i did eat a salad maybe 3 times a week plus i drank alcohol & used a tanning bed & smoked because i worked 5-6 days a week i thought tanning smoking & drinking were my rewards for working so hard, i was thin & had muscles but when i turned 51 i was 50 lbs over weight couldn't burp or fart my stomach got bloated every time i ate no matter what it was (no veg of course) well i watched what the health & the very next day i went plant based i am all better now almost 4 years later & i will NEVER GO BACK! i also quit drinking smoking & tanning.
Good for you! Best wishes.
Good on you. 👍
way to go man!
Great on you keep up the hard work!! WFPB is the way to go! Animal ag and their agi-prop is going down!
Sounds you did a 180 degrees reverse course on your life...respect!
Dear Dr Mcdougall, many thanks for still being active. It has always been interesting to listen to your lectures and thoughts. Hello from Kazakhstan.
When Dr. McDougall speaks I listen.
Amen!
🌱
@@johngaspar4425 did he just die?
@@beautifulrose8619 He did. Now it's up us which is what he always taught.
Dr. McDougall I cannot thank you enough for the knowledge you share and for being brave enough to do it with no apologies. Your teachings and dietary recommendations have saved my life and I know this. Everything you’ve said has been 100% true for me and I literally feel like I have my life back and even better than before because of your advice. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I’m only 6 days in, have fibromyalgia and already feel 75% better. I was eating this way last year but only made it a month then the holidays came and I caved. Back for good!
Great job Heather, and Dr McDougall! Doc, you've saved more lives than penicillin!
Ridiculous to compare it to penicillin 😮

Dr. McDougall, thank you for everything you have contributed to debunk the misinformation in the medical community - you have profoundly made a positive impact in my life!
Thank you dr mcdougall , what a beautiful daughter of yours.
God bless you and your family!!
Yes Heather is beautiful isn’t she
Returning to watching McDougall lectures after what's been a while, I remember why I found watching them so healing, not just from the physical perspective - if their conclusions are applied. I find them healing to watch because they're a source of truth and because Dr. McDougall is so inspiring in the way he fights for the truth. He's a rebel and a truth teller and I find the presence of rebels and truth tellers most comforting of all when I feel like I'm lost. To be around, be it just in thought, someone who knows what's what and who's not afraid to say it, and to be around someone I can learn from, and who reminds me just how great of a contribution one individual can make to this world, it fills me with feelings of hope. And there's so much love in his communication, love for those whose wellbeing he's tried to save - humans and animals alike - such clear constant displays of love for his family, love for his heroes, love for the planet. So much respect for this man. Wish I could even be 1% of the person he is. Thank you Dr. McDougall.
Finally a doctor that acknowledges this!! I was reading the Mucusless Diet Healing system by Arnold Ehret (1930s) and he spoke about this at length which I thought was mind blowing. Glad to see modern doctors supporting this because it resonated so much with me
Love the love on your dad's face as you are speaking. Thank you
😘
And vice versa. You can see the respect and love she has for her dad. Love that.
I was thinking the same thing!
Such an excellent and informative talk, thank you Dr. McDougall and Heather. If anyone wants proof of how well someone can live and how good someone can look, Heather is all the example needed.
Wonderful talk on protein requirements!
I changed from vegetarian to vegan in Oct, 2021 thanks to a utube lecture of John McDougall
What a blessing! I am 65 and a long-distance runner. I am a tennis coach on weekends and never felt fitter! No aches and no knees pain after exercise.
Unfortunately most people don't GET it! And doctors in India are not bothered what their patients eat. And some recommend a high protein diet.
Pediatricians too. Dairy protein for kids is promoted.
When will the world change this wrong Mindset.
Each of us listening to this lecture must quote these truths in whatever way we can!
You are the first indian in 6 years of following Dr McDougall that I met . Veganism in india is next to impossible. They are so sure about their ayurveda that nothing is wrong except them.
So grateful that Dr. McDougall's message is here for others to find. He was a generous man to have shared his knowledge so freely. I have been a follower for years. Unfortunately for my health, I have not followed the diet! I am moving back to a WFPB, starch centered diet, for my health. His family in my thoughts and prayers during this time following his death. We have lost a pioneer.
Such an awesome talk. Thank you Dr Mcdougall for not stopping to share the truth so many people need to hear. And thank you Heather for all you do. I just love and respect the Mcdougall family soooo much!!🥰
Sound advice and insight.
I've been plant based now for over 2 years and feel great.
Funny because where I work 3 people are on medication for high blood pressure, one is hobbling around with inflammation and another is grossly overweight and always has some kind of health issues.
And I'm the one who gets ridiculed. 🤣🤣
How did you stay consistent? I've started about 5 days ago and havent craved the junk since then. Does it remain this way or does the temptation eventually kick in?
@@sis_yd_jesuschrist Well I did eat the typical Western diets for 51 years and went plant based almost overnight.
You'll find it easier to make your own meals.
I do have the odd bit of processed vegan food but most stick to a whole food plant based diet.
In the early days I did eat something which I shouldn't have, just read the labels and don't stress if you have the odd mishap.
Eating out is getting easier in general (obviously not atm)
Good luck on your journey, I have never regretted my decision.
Family members still eat animal products but they also eat plenty of the food I prepare as well.
People will make their own minds up.
Best of luck. 👍
@@cheshirehomebrew thank you for your response. I'm definitely enjoying the transition and I want to do this for life. I'm sick and tired if feeling sick and tired. I'm 5 days in and have a bit of energy after a long day at work I came home and walked my dog mind you I have been a couch potato since the age of 10. Thank you for the best wishes take care
@@sis_yd_jesuschristyou get tempted sometimes and sometimes you'll fail but when you fell you feel horrible and so that the failing tends to get longer and longer between when you do because it is good to feel good
I so admire you, Dr. McDougall. In just looking at You Tube channels and all the people you have helped to not only lose weight but to regain their health and all for free!!! No telling how many people NOT on You Tube you have helped. What an unsung hero you are. Hope to meet you someday. The amount of protein is different for different age groups? As a 76 year old woman, how would I calculate my protein intake?
This needs more views!!
I went on the starch solution and had incredible results. No more greasy hair! It was awful, had to shower twice a day sometimes. Now I wash my hair every other day. Acne is gone. The best so far is my hypothyroid medications have been stopped. I found that the longer I did the diet the more I felt sick taking them. Now I'm off of them completely which is amazing because I've been taking them since I was 14 years old and am now 33 years old. Never been healthier!
That’s incredible -what exactly are you eating? I eat plant based but I take thyroid too -
Ого!Это у вас прошёл гипотиреоз, это правда ?
This is so so true! It’s all a giant advertising campaign people haven’t cottoned on to.
For most changing ones diet is a huge thing for many reasons emotionally, mentally and culturally. For me health overrides any of these things but I’ve always been called weird so eating the way I do I don’t care 😅
Both the McDougall's skin looks so good- looks like they're using an anti-aging filter! Dr. McDougall looks so proud of his daughter. Great video, thank you :)
cope
I believe in eating for my blood type, which is O- .... and I'd like to eat clean. I've an assortment of Raw Nuts..& pumpkin seeds... But no cashews.
1 month ago today, was hit by a car, thrown 50ft. Landing on my face. Am now in an acute care senior center. Needless to say the food is less than optimal... Not able to walk YET, but am healing fast. I'm doing my own PT. Out of necessity, doubling up on everything each day... I have a bunch of titanium in my left shoulder & left foot.
Thank God for your helpful advice and guidance...
💜AGAPE 2 Y'ALL 💜
I agree with John McDougall he has been far ahead of his time. I also like his no backing down attitude. I really Injoy his talks. Thank you.
Good content. I wish more people would listen to you. I went to eating a starch based diet with fruits and vegetables and got healthy and slim. No more medications anything. People look and see im lean and not carrying alot of fat on me. Some people are rude but when I look at them it's sad. They look like they are suffering from food poison. So large with bulges on top of them.
All that you say is 100% correct. Thank you for all that you have done to educate us about the potatoe and stach based eating, living and dieting.
I've been eating Quinoa for the past 3 days with a lentil and vegetable soup on top and I am never hungry between meals .And I am usually the kind of person that eats every 2-3h , now I easily go 6h between meals
Thank you so much for all you have done and continue to do, Doctor! You have changed the way I eat and I’m forever grateful to you!
The best part of this entire talk was when he said “ do we have to eat protein from muscles to build muscles and eat bones to build bones and brains to build brains so what do we eat to improve our sex lives? 😫 I died laughing!
Yeahhh XD funny thing is some culture do this
yeah some culture do eat the balls of animals for sexual health
@@sheepnoisebah and tiger penis 🤢🤮
Same 😂🤣 that was like halfway through the video too lol
I think Rhino tusk is the thing in Asia, is it not? It's a problem...but you do see consistency, at least. LOL.
Dr McDougal rocks, I love his passion, it feeds my passion, cause I know he’s 100% right, thank you Dr Macdougal and Heather
Thank you! I Started following your recommeded diet 5 years ago. I have one great hummus recipe: smash together 1 can of chick peas, 1 or 2 garlic clove, juice of 1 lemon slice, 1-2 tablespoon of apple vinegar, 0.5 teaspoon salt, little bit chilli... smash all with handmixer or potato smasher. it tastes so great. I eat it with fresh cabbage or cucumber pieces usually
Sounds delish and easy!
Thank you Dr. MCdougal very informative everyone should see this presentation. I always follow your program.
Humus without the fat - nice! Will have to try.
I found pickled red pepper and blend that and put on top! Amazing
I love humus and this sounds similar, so I know this has to be delicious ! I’ll be trying it soon…Thank You 😊
Dear doctor McDougall, this lecture is wonderful! An accumulated knowledge amassed over a lifetime. I would love to have a copy of this for my library. If you have not done so already, would you please offer a DVD set on your website? I would buy extras to give away to people who need to hear this.
God bless you sir
Grateful that such people exist to inform and to inspire.
I feel the same!! I am so grateful that I came across Dr McDougal.
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I love watching all your videos and learning from you. What a Fantastic man you are!💕
Learning everyday I listen to you Dr McDougall. My life is changing so fast. Thank you for all you do. 🙏🌿🌿🌿
Dr.M is an absolute warrior for truth!
This was WONDERFULLY INFORMATIVE!!! As usual Dr McDougall!!!
I don’t think I commented on this talk but it is one of the only places where the science is being brought out for any person, no matter their background, can understand. Not only that, there is solid explanations and examples of primary source material and how anyone can now access and learn about the research papers to check for factual information being given. Learning about one’s own body, its functions and what the processes are for common diseases is so helpful for people to be able to make informed decisions on their health and their family’s health. There is solid explanations much bs out there that learning the tools to not get scammed is essential because in the end people are out there to make money anyway they can, even if it’s made up ideas instead of fact.
This basic intro to protein is the most important thing to learn of because it has the greatest impact on quality of life.
Just being shown what has happened over time to science by industry is an eye opener that lets people start asking questions about how they know things are true.
I would love for science to no longer be trampled for ideas and beliefs that do so much harm.
Thank you for taking the time to teach people the basics that can protect them from being taken advantage of. ❤
I wish my brother would have listened to Dr McDougall and other plant-based doctors. He died a few months ago of pancreatic cancer. He had just retired, was in his mid-60s, and was otherwise seemingly healthy, except for high blood pressure. He ate keto/paleo for the last about 20 years. It's so sad. I tried to give him books, argue sometimes, etc., but he was a stubborn guy who thought he knew better than his little sister (me).
So sorry for your tremendous loss! 💐
@@happycook6737 Thank you.
Sorry for the loss of your brother...i lost a sibling too..also an organ cancer....Im afraid for myself bc we are related...Im trying to follow Dr. Mcdougal..so far my acid reflux gone but it was replaced with joint pain in every friggin joint i mean! Hope it goes away...Any imput why this is happening ? Thanks..
I'm so sorry
@@hannahrl Thank you, Hannah.
Love it...always happy to see more videos on this awesome Channel!.... Thank you Dr. McDougall!!
Looking forward to your talk on what happens when we too much protein. Thank you for doing these talks!
I knew Dr. McDougall loved his interviewer before I knew it was his beautiful daughter, Healther.
Thank you for this great presentation. Love that you explained it clearly and calmly.
Dr Mcdougall this makes total sense!!! We have been lied to for a very long time I think ... by meat, dairy and big pharma !!! I had gastric bypass surgery a couple years ago and I’m still fat !!! I am going to try your plan... I love potatoes and beans and vegetables... I never could keep up with all the protein that was recommended after surgery... and so low carbs... this whole food plant based I can totally do !!! 😀😀😀 Thank you Dr Mcdougall
I love that, “Well, let’s look at the science.” After seeing things believed with little science used to make the decision to believe.
You can learn reasoning here too.
Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa, Dr. McDougall and Heather. I loved your videos on potatoes. Watched/listened to both of them the same day.
Now, listening to both protein videos.
Tragic that rats (& others) are used to determine what is or isn't healthy, and what is or isn't safe as medication for humans.
Love this...wish we would just say what all this protein marketing really is, IT'S BRAINWASHING pure and simple. Wonderful teacher!
you guys rock big time this is my 8th year following your plan still not perfect i just love watching you guys in action supper grateful.
Thank you for giving of your time and knowledge so freely. Thank you for educating folks on how to live healthier! The planet and the animals also thank you.
Went back to eating SAD, now over weight, feel tied all the time, and I will not go back to the SAD again. Besides your food taste good. Real good. Thank you Dr. McDougal for all you have done with eating this way. Making affordable and every day normal. My son has had a mild heart attack and he said he can not eat starches and listens to his doctor. Sounds like he is on a keto type diet. no carbs like bread, starches or beans.
Dr. Mc Dougall: You are a Great Library on nutrition yourself! Great and convincing talk based on well presented and well chosen research.
My high protein diet has led me to osteoporosis now. It's hard to overcome and have experienced many bone breaks. The important thing now is to eat properly, and do the exercises necessary to strengthen my bones. Thank you Dr. McDougall for all this great information.
@@RiDankulousyes, stair climbing and weights
Thank you and Mary for all your knowledge experiences and courage. I’m 78 no medications. My young grandson developed type 1 diabetes at 6 over 3 years ago I started doing my own research. I am so grateful I found your teachings. Thank you very much.
Look up the guys from mastering diabetes they both have type one diabetes
Excellent Presentation- Thank you
I have gone to a whole food plant-based diet and I'm trying to get my diabetes under control I've gone off all my diabetes meds and had to start adding back because I was getting too high around 4 and 500 so I added insulin back still getting high so I added a glimepiride back now I have to work harder to see what's going on. Thank you for all your videos they're really helping.
This diet is NOT for diabetics..do keto!
Keto makes you sick do this one.
Thank you very much Dr. John McDougall for these informations, facts and lecture.
Thank you it’s a great lecture and so very inspiring. It has helped me a lot. It healed my microbiome after I had had been treated with much too much penicillin because of a lot of infection as a child - and then severe migraines. I was healed from a low fat low salt macrobiotic rice, millet, buckwheat and cooked vegetables -but I did not know the science behind until now. I am so greatfull, but wish I had known much earlier. 🙏🏻🎵🌺🎶♥️
Thank you for the great video love everything you have said and believe!
Thank you so much Heather and Dr McDougall and Mary; I am always inspired.
Wonderful information. Thank you.
Thank you dr mcdougall ❤
Im 22 days on starch solution,and LOVE it!!❤️🥰👍
I have very high blood pressure, and have my appendix removed when I was 2 years old!.
On 22 days, I have lost 8 pounds, but still suffer from constipation, wich I hope will be better and better over time.
22 days are not much yet, but there i a world of difference,
It is actually very funny to feel that Im slimming on the inside of my body, I can feel that there is more free space in my chest, and beginning also to feel it in my intestines, like the inflamations are subsiding!!😂❤WAUW!!😂👍love it.
I dont take any medications, refused my doctors pressure to take blodpressure medicine,
He replied, I cant take responsebility for you then!
I replied: the only one taking responsebility for me and my health, is me!!!.
I was NOT born with high blood pressure, so there is something i am doing wrong, I will find out, and correct it, as said, so done!!!😍😀😘👍
We, my husband and I, have bought 3 of the mcdougall books, and, all I can say, we are NEVER EVER going back!!.
Thank you for all you do, to Heather, John, and Mary, allso love and hugs to Chef AJ❤🤗🥰😘👍from Denmark 🇩🇰
Hi, I’m only 6 days in. I also feel less bloated but a farting machine 😅😂! Have u lost more weight? Tia
I had high blood pressure the Dr said for me to change my diet and go low sodium and he would check my blood pressure in a month. So when I was I was talking to my sister she told me that maybe I should try the plant based diet that my mom was on. So my mom has became my couch for the diet. Her diet was the starch solution. I have been on this diet that for two months now but not only that but I went back to get my blood pressure at it had been retaken when I was on the starch solution for two weeks and my blood pressure was normal. I not only brought down my blood pressure but I had lost 21 pounds within two weeks. I felt good but then when I weighed myself the next week I gained 10 of those back because I ate pasta all week and cooked some days with oil. So know I am not using oil. I was also walking for those two weeks and ever since the fires started I have not been walked by but doing arrobic exercises in my house.😊
Excellent lecture! Thank you!
What a fascinating presentation ✅Thank you Dr M 💕
McDougall is a legend.
Thanks for such inspiring information.
Thank You 💖 listening again 🎉
Hi doctor, can you give me advice on your stroke? I had a stroke in July of 2021 and now I’m following a plant diet. Thank you! I have sweet potatoes every morning for breakfast.
Your are so happy to have a dad like that.
Such an interesting lecture - thank you so much for sharing your amazing knowledge! ❤
The Danish researcher is Mikkel Hindhede - and the Danes experienced better health during the 1940’s because of lack of the rich foods. People had to eat less protein and less rich foods and got healthier
You are a life saver ❤️
I’ve been a vegetarian for over 50 years and have used Diet for a Small Planet as a guide for combining foods to get complete protein from plant sources. I don’t know if it’s right or wrong but there it is.
Dr Mc D I would love for you to do a talk on the collagen/gelatin and all the protein powders craze which is booming ! I work in a health store and it sells like hot cakes. It goes to show how people believe all the hype and advertising promises while handing over their cash with glee. 🙄
I wish Dr Mcdougall would address this also! Great idea!!
Thank you for the Truth Dr McDougal!!!
Lovely talk
When my kids were small, I was extremely poor. We lived on a plant based diet Potatoes, greens, beans, cornmeal, biscuits and rice. It's all we could afford. I had trouble qualifying for WIC as my kids were too healthy. In fact after getting WIC as a "prevention" against malnourishment my kids tests were worse. We eventually got qualified for food stamps. The only meat we ate is if it went on a major markdown.
Thanks for sharing ❤
I have not heard Dr McDougall speak about the importance of keeping a 4 to 1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3s. Chesapeake Urology uses that ratio to successfully treat prostate cancer. It slows down the cancer significantly.
Very powerful and makes sense!
Thank you Dr. McDougall 🙏🏼💖💖💖
I have a question. From what I understood it wasn’t protein that could cause complications, it was pernicious anemia. Is that more from iron deficiency or lack of B12. Can a vegan diet resolve that complication?
Plenty of vegan sources of both so yes
Otherwise every vegan would be anemic
Iron is everywhere, we actually have too much iron. B12 is produced by our own body naturally when the body works well on a vegan diet without alcohol and processed food
@@harrietnew1537 B12 is actually a bacteria in the ground.
Oh, Dr. Mcdougall, we miss you. Thank you for listening to God to help his people. You are indeed the faithful servant of the most high God. Blessings to the family you left behind.
Dr. McDougall, finally made it here to your IRIE TH-cam Channel,thank you for your help for all of us who listen to ya and of course also your beautiful and witty wife, Mary! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise, 👍and greetings👋for your family and you from Querétaro, Mexico. Oh and also subbed.😊
This is an awesome lecture!
I forgot to mention that the same trampling of science for comfortable beliefs that generate profit is also erasing history. So it’s good that this presentation talks about history that is being obscured, ignored and rewritten.
Doesn't the current evidence show that to maintain health, you need a protein amount of 1.2 to 1.6 g per kilogram of body weight, which works out to be approximately 60 to 80 g of protein per day?
Yes, at least 60gr/day
One thing I can say from experience that eating fake meat only makes you crave actual animal meat. Which leads you back into old habits of eating. It did me. Then I just kept getting stomach and bowel issues. Why? Real meat and fake meat. Had zero issues eating a starch heavy, plant centered diet. My cholesterol went up and my blood pressure too. So bad the doctors threatened to put me on lots of medication if I didn't get it under control. Guess what I did? Fed the cat the meat and I am going back on a McDougall based diet. I may modify it a bit, but basically right from the books I own. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I am currently recovering from several broken bones including my clavicle, which needed surgery to fix. I was on my ebike just slowing down for the light when a skateboarder plowed into me and I woke up in the ICU. I am 64 and I was going to work. Eating the McDougall way has allowed me to heal faster than I was. My first set of X-rays after I got out of the hospital showed minimal healing. I quit the meat and focused on starch and vegetables with some fruit and guess what my next set and the CT showed of my brain which was bruised and bleeding at first. 2 weeks between X-rays CT was 3 weeks between the last one at the hospital and the following one. Healing fast. My shoulder had very limited usage at first and now almost back to normal. I should be released to go back to work on Thursday. 8 weeks since the accident. I am so grateful for you guys. If I was still eating a meat based diet, I sincerely doubt I would be as healthy as I am and ready to work. I am a personal shopper at Walmart. So I lift 44 pounds up to chest high on a regular basis. That is what a case of water weighs or a large sack of pet food. I may have to take it easy for a week or two, but I have tested myself with heavier items and with doing most of the lifting with my left I can manage it. One more week of staying at home and I can go back to work. Thank you so much for everything. My doctor's were amazed at the difference in my healing. They didn't say much, just big smiles on their faces. I didn't get a chance to tell them the secret. If they give me a chance I will for sure. ❤
i like realness and passion and after 5 minutes of watching this man i sence both in abundance , great man
we are not human we are spirit, a soul thats come here to live in a human body for a very very short exsperience compared to our real reality of spirit
the main thing were getting wrong here is eating animals . question yaself and look into the subject more
Love You John
I’d love for him to do a video on what to buy when grocery shopping. And everything to buy. And what so called health foods to completely avoid.
your diet should be 1/4 veggies, 1/4 fruits, 1/4 legumes, 1/4 whole grains and a bit of seeds and nuts
I dont really care that much about it tho i just buy whole foods i like. with variety of course(a bit of it)
How many times a day do we eat?
Watch Mary Mcdougall TH-cam video on planing meals. Excellent video
Great insight Dr. Only diary product I eat is, yogurt . My question is.... Is yogurt heart healthy? Otherwise I am vegetarian. What does your research say?
He is not against animal products completely, just in excess.
@@transracial5078o, I thought he was...
Also I'm very concerned about the way that my skin is drying out!;; I'm used to having 2-3 T of EVOO every day on a dark greens salad. Also, I use real butter, which is impossible to get here. And I like to eat fish 2- 3x a week.
How do I receive the oils my body needs to avoid this annoying itchy, dry skin? 😢🥴😮💨....on a vegan diet?
When at home I was also using castor oil, coconut oil, frankincense and lavender. With a king sized heating pad under my back all night. so I didn't experience much pain while sleeping... But, here I've got to take all these pain meds 😢.
I was taking Frankincense orally also.
Thank you for any suggestions you may have.
Getting out of here ASAP, is of course my ultimate goal !
❤🎉❤ !
I have been feeling pretty good lowering my protein recently. I feel best on high carbohydrate (easily digestible forms) and moderate fat.
the "easily digestible forms" gave me a laugh
Thank-you Dr Mcdougall you safe my life 🙏 ❤ xxx 👌
I agree. There is so much missinformation, and everyone is an expert, that we are left to decide and figure it out alone what could be right and what could be wrong. And we pay for following the wrong experts with our health and ultimately lives.
U got it...follow ur intuition!
It is really difficult to really pay attention to your powerful video, when it is interrupted every 5 minutes by ads. Even worse, is that these ads are full of products you would never want people to consume. What a shame.
I'm really curious whether Dr.Mcdougall got vaccinated or not for Covid 19. I sincerely respect Dr. Mcdougall's way and I want to protect my body by my own immune system without any side effect.
I would like to know that too. I went and got the Johnson & Johnson oh, and I would not do it again. I'm hearing that coronavirus 19 lives off from cholesterol. And I do not eat cholesterol.
I heard him say on TH-cam recently that he and Mary did get the first shots but that he felt that further vaccinations were not useful - I’m paraphrasing because I don’t remember his exact words.
I have Multiple Sclerosis and I am getting worse every day. I've tried the medications, I keep getting worse. I can walk a couple steps and that's about it and the fatigue is overwhelming. I feel like I'm on deaths door. I think this may be my only hope left although my actual doctor has warned me against a strict vegan diet. Any advice?
Have you checked out Anthony William on celery juice, read good by Lupus too. I believe in Dr. Mcdougall too.
Dr McDougall has information on MS on his website, and probably also videos on TH-cam. There's another pro-plant-based-diet doctor who has worked with MS, I believe, but I forget his name, sorry.
@@Treebard Could it be Dr. Ray Swank? He did MS work.
Also check out Dr. Brooke Goldner. There is so much damage that animal products can do in setting up autoimmune disease, it's smart to drop them immediately (I also have MS, btw). But of course, just as in a non-vegan diet, you need good nutrition through whole plant foods, and sufficient calories. Goldner has interesting input on Omega 3:6 ratios and autoimmune - I'm now watching this more closely in my diet since reading her books, and sometimes do her smoothie protocol.
I have been eating plant based food for almost 6 years. I recently went to get my blood work done, my doctor told me I am a little low on protein and he said that it’s not too bad but be careful 😮 I am concerned about it, I eat plenty of black beans, and other foods with protein. I got so worried that I just started a plante base powder shake. I don’t like it. Not sure what to do.
What test told the doctor you were low on protein? How did she/he know you were low?
@@martykerns3802
Low red blood cells. Anemia
They did blood work and my protein results are:
Protein value 6.1 g/dL
Reference Range 6.0 -7.7 g/ dL
I do not know much about medical things but I think I am barely at the range that I supposed to be at 🤷🏻♀️
That’s because we aren’t herbivores.
@@pmiller7148 That’s your opinion; it’s not a fact.
I went to the doctors last week and my total cholesterol was 300. I told him that I follow a WFPB SOS free diet. He said I must have familial high cholesterol. Is there anything that can help this beside cholesterol medicine. I never thought I’d have to face this. I feel so helpless. I’ve tried so hard to stay off medication. My mother and step father both died in their 50’s and I’ve never met my biological father. Growing up with sick parents I’ve tried my best to avoid this. So upsetting.
How is your weight? Maintaining a lower healthy BMI helps cholesterol levels.
@Joan B Did you lower it without drugs? I thought that I wrote some of your post😂
2 years ago I got 280 cholesterol results. Some doctors said that it must be hereditary because my parents have that, and my weight and BMI was good.
One doctor advised to go on statins ASAP. I was only 40 then, and not planning to deal with more drugs for years to come. The doctor who was treating me agreed with me to keep monitoring my blood, and I decided to change and tweak my diet even more.
After about a year more or less, my cholesterol was 180👍👍👍
So I proved that it is not hereditary for me, and it can be controled and lowered by different diet and nutrition.
My husband is on dialysis. His nephrologist is telling him he needs animal protein now. Is this really necessary?
Have a look at Dr. Neal Barnard's video on reversing kidney damage. (Not sure if McDougall has made videos on this). McDougall and Barnard know each other, so I don't think he will mind me mentioning Barnard....."It's the food" -Heather McDougall
no way, watch @Peter Rogers MD - we need very low protein, more potatoes are great !
