I have been vegan for 5 years, oilfree, sugarfree and salt free. I had a stroke in March after getting a flu and being so sick I almost died! I had zero factors for a stroke. It has taken me months to fight my way back. It is the most horrifying thing I have ever experienced!

Thank you for all your inspiration and information and Yes I think we got the message more fruit and vegetables lower risk of strokes , and three cups of green tee everyday lower the risk, and chickpeas and lentils have the fibers and protein that will keep you fit for rejoicing for life.
I appreciate this topic! My mom & her mom both had strokes and then were never the same.I do best on vegan diet & restarted bp meds cuz I fear that stroke! p.s. I like his quirkiness!
Lori Mills: I used to work at a pharmacy, the pharmacist said taking magnesium and potassium lowers the risk of having a stroke .Must be taken before bedtime.
Me too, mom, grandma and uncle...not going to lie, I think about it a lot and it scares me. They all had high cholesterol though and mine is low (vegan diet I guess) so I’m hoping I won’t have one.
Doubt he will. He seems to just talk about things we can prevent. He does only talk about preventable heart disease, never any of the genetic variants and components. Which can be a bit misleading sometimes since he made it recently look as if heart failure is just a lifestyle problem while in reality heart failure has many non lifestyle reasons as well. (Genetic heart muscle diseases for instance.)
Been following you for a while. Dr. Paul Saladino on JRE made what sounded a case for not eating vegetables. I do not have the expertise to follow most of what he said, but would really love to hear a rebuttal from someone who knows what they are talking about.
I believe Saladino completely messed up his gut microbiome. He has said that even plain sweet potato is disruptive to his digestion. Like most ex-vegans, he was a raw vegan, did not eat enough, starved himself, damaged his digestion, then relies on foods with no fiber, because he does not have enough of the good bacteria that breaks down fiber. Check this out th-cam.com/video/rFtL7cIwO60/w-d-xo.html Don't take advice from a doctor that damaged his own body to the point where he can barely digest white rice

Thanks for the info. I suggest you reduce the audio sensitivity to the mic input of your computer (overload distortion). Here's an idea for nuts: Costco, and not doubt others, sell salt free mixed nuts. Salt free = less sodium. They are a great snack and you won't miss the salt after a week or two of salt free.
Dear Doctor.could you please do a video on spleen issue and it's diet.i've been siffering for 7 years now and couldn't find a remedy.my spleen size is noemal but it hurt everyday.eventhough i eat clean and hot( spleen don't like cold). God bless you for your help.if anyone has an answer to help please post a comment
The latest research done since 2010 suggests saturated fat is absolutely necessary to good health and lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease. The journal of American college of cardiology just did a study suggesting not only that saturated fat is not bad for you but crucial to a healthy diet. Also you can check out Dr such as Ken Berry and Paul Mason that I've been talking about it recently. Dr Paul Mason goes into great detail showing that saturated fat will raise LDL but not the type that is dangerous.
I completely agree. The viewer should do their own comprehensive research to come up with what is right for them. This presentation seems to fly in the face of most of what I have found.
Dr. Berg the keto doctor say he eats 4-5 eggs a day and swears by its health benefits. So does "motivational doc" Alan Mandel. I think if you enjoy eggs then have them in moderation. Adequate intake of fruits and veggies is more important than eating eggs or not.
Articles based on studies paid for by egg producers. th-cam.com/video/UdO4fLO9DcM/w-d-xo.html . DO NOT follow quack chiropractor berg, who also does anti vaccination video among lots of other pseudo science
@@brandont4693 LOL! Berg is not a Keto Dr, he is not a Dr. He is a chiropractor. As is Mandel. Go to him if you are in a car accident and want to defraud your insurance company.
Now since you all know what overadjustment is and how to design study and carefully "randomly" choose participants to achieve outcomes you want to achieve, you can recheck Adventist study and you will find out how meat eating is not related to any of claimed outcomes. Thank you Dr. Greger😘👏
I thought about this too!!! When COVID started I looked up how many die of heart disease and diabetes to compare and I was like wait, what??? We are freaking out about COVID (which we should) but so many die of lifestyle diseases and we aren’t freaking out about that? What a topsy turvy world we live in 🤦♀️

Please address ace inhibitors, as opposed to, or compared to calcium channel blockers, in terms of the possible effects on lung cells susceptibility to virus. I know prevention and a whole food plant based diet are the way to reduce the need for all such drugs, but for those, 'not there yet', those still on those medications, does the data show evidence that one class of meds may be 'safer', in general, in terms of this effect on the lungs? Might carefully switching meds, even temporarily, if concerned about covid and at increased risk, due to age, co morbidities, ect, assuming the channel blockers work as well for a given patient, be useful? The 'official guidelines' are, at present, as I understand them, according to a local Nurse Practitioner, if the ace inhibitors are working, controlling BP, for example, don't change them...if not, either change meds or add an additonal med. Although she did acknowledge that the Ace inhibitors do adversely affect the lung cells in some patients. Hmmm... This is all 'above my paygrade', as the saying goes, but I am looking for reliable sources of information on this subject, as several close friends and family members are on some of these meds and are in those higher risk groups. I would like to help tip the odds in their favor, if possible. Another question, has anyone heard of studies linking previous flu shots with greater susceptibility to corona viruses, in general? Thanks.
So give us the link to the Oxford study so we can come to our own conclusions about bias. You've spent 4 minutes trying to discredit the Oxford findings - to come up with your own bias aiming to disprove their findings... Crazy.
Semantics. If you eat totally healthily consistently and don't smoke and exercise reasonably you're not going to have a stroke (barring weird genetic anomalies).
I am sorry that I have to disagree. Have you not seen healthy people getting strokes? People who are eating right, exercising right, and living right? To insist that if one can "prevent" stroke by doing all the right things, is to tell that person that he or she must be doing something wrong. Potentially this could lead to guilt and morbid introspection. Mind you, I am not saying that cannot reduce the risk of stroke. Certainly you can. But in my opinion, to say that one can "prevent stroke" is really quite wrong. And, as far as "semantics" is concern, if words do not plainly mean what they are to be plainly understood, then what are words for but to confuse?
He sounds like he's done one of those silly media courses that teaches him to speak like people don't actually speak. People rarely hesitate mid word but this guy does; way too often. It annoyed me so much I couldn't watch it through.....

Sorry to hear that. Eating healthy helps, but doesn't make you immortal. Still gotta get your flu shots and see your doctor on a regular basis.
I've been vegan 16 years, no oil for several, and never use salt. Had a stroke a year ago, still struggling to use my arm, write, and walk

Very important info for those of us with family history of strokes.
Thank you for all your inspiration and information and Yes I think we got the message more fruit and vegetables lower risk of strokes , and three cups of green tee everyday lower the risk, and chickpeas and lentils have the fibers and protein that will keep you fit for rejoicing for life.
Thanks doc. This is also useful info for my stats class! God bless.
Apparently it's SO important to know exactly where a study came from (who called for it).
Yes, because it can be a major determinant in what is researched and whether or not the findings are skewed or straightforward.

Please discuss AVM and CCM. It is genetic through my husbands family, and my 5 year old just had brain surgery after CCM caused a stroke.

Great message as usual! Unfortunately the sound quality which is normally always excellent is heavily over modulated.
He's very clear to ME....just saying!
The sound quality is definitely very bad this time

Dude 76 yes, I agree, just comparing the physiques of dr Gregor and Dr Berry makes it clear who looks healthier

Great podcast, there’s on sound that came on a few times and it sounded like an alarm was going off as I was on my treadmill!

We can't put the blame on eggs alone because these people may be consuming, sugar, processed carbs, unhealthy oil, no exercise etc..
Eggs belong to chickens, eggs are not for us , same like dairy...it is for their babies.👵🌿

Are you sure stroke is "preventable"?
Or is your "preventable" merely a "reduction of risks" of stroke?
Semantics. If you eat totally healthily consistently and don't smoke and exercise reasonably you're not going to have a stroke (barring weird genetic anomalies).
I am sorry that I have to disagree. Have you not seen healthy people getting strokes? People who are eating right, exercising right, and living right?

Which nuts protect risk of stroke?
Brazil best
Brazil nuts loaded with selenium can be dangerous if eat more than 1 a day
Interesting. I thought choline and carnitine was good for vegans? My b complex even has choline and inositol included 🤔
my entire side of my dad's family has/had high blood pressure, including me. we all eat the same. why am i the only damn one who had a stroke?
You are the only one so far. Hopefully it was a wake up call
