Functional Medicine

They actually understand the business practices better than you. They just also agree that doing things RIGHT from the getgo is important, and they’re not willing to go down your path of unproven medicine (still can’t find any stats?).

Genuinely lol’d.

Editorial Reviews
Review
“Dr. Hyman’s brilliant new book shows us that the emotional resilience and mental clarity we all seek is within our grasp. You too can unleash the body’s hidden ability to dramatically improve mood, memory, and thinking speed.” – Mehmet C. Oz, M.D., author of “YOU: The Owner’s Manual”

““The UltraMind Solution” is an amazing book that will help you today. It is packed with practical information to help you heal your body and enhance your brain.” – Daniel G. Amen, M.D., author of “Change Your Brain, Change Your Life”

“For the past thirty years, I’ve studied how comprehensive lifestyle change can prevent and reverse many chronic illnesses. Now, Dr. Hyman shows how to prevent and often reverse mood and brain disorders by addressing their underlying causes. Highly recommended.” – Dean Ornish, M.D., clinical professor of medicine, University of California, San Francisco, and author of “Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease” and “The Spectrum”

“If you suffer from anxiety, depression, memory loss, or attention problems, the help you need is right here – in “UltraMind.” Mark Hyman’s approach is right on the mark.” – Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of “The Wisdom of Menopause”

You highlight your own ignorance or stupidity. I’m not sure which…

Because one works in this industry that means they understand how the business is run?

Can you post the clinical trials for me on medicinal marijuana? I’ll save you some time. There aren’t any before it became legalized. Don’t even know if there are any out there yet. Where are all the heroin crazed zombies? I don’t hear of any either, Can’t believe this hasn’t happened with the legalization of the “gateway” drug.

If it was up to the morons who post here it wouldn’t have happened and the public would have suffered. So the public would be forced to choose the garbage drugs from Big Pharma thereby limiting choice and increasing their profits. If I could I’d put a red bouncing ball above the words so you could all follow along.

This took 12 seconds to google.

Actually America is currently experiencing a major heroin problem. There’s a major hub of the illegal trade happening ~2 hours from me. You just aren’t paying attention. Open your eyes man. Quit being a slave to your ideals and realize what’s going on in the world.

People had access to pot before legalization. People have access to pot now where it’s currently illegal. Also Big Pharma is profiting immensely from MJ. They’re going to keep profiting.

No, but it is tremendous irony that you, so vehemently opposed to all things driven by “profits” in any way, shape or form, are falling for and/or shilling for hucksters who are every bit as driven by “profits” as the Big Pharma industry that you’re railing against. One key difference is that Big Pharma actually conducts research on the treatments that they sell to determine whether they are safe and effective; hucksters just shove together a bunch of gobbledygook, put it in a book, and launch their own line of supplements (an industry that is significantly less regulated than pharmaceuticals) to avoid the scrutiny of actually having to prove that their products are safe and effective.

Like CC said above:

This is absolutely endgame for your argument. You cannot refute this point.

While we’re here, so is this:

Anyways, let’s go back to the profits well one more time and dig into this for a moment:

You mean the guy who made a zillion dollars from a television show for hawking what he himself called “magic” weight loss cures and “miracle in a bottle” supplements?

https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4501095/sen-mccaskill-questions-dr-oz-flowery-language-show

The passage from 4:03 through 4:15 is absolutely staggering.

“I recognize that often times they don’t have the scientific muster to pass as fact” - again, this dude was literally calling the supplements “miracle in a bottle” and “magic” to his audience.

“In 2012, The Washington Post Magazine ran a cover story titled “Daniel Amen is the most popular psychiatrist in America. To most researchers and scientists, that’s a very bad thing.” The Washington Post detailed Amen’s lack of acceptance among the scientific community and his monetary conflict of interest.[2] Journalist Sanjiv Bhattacharya wrote that Amen’s critics likened him “to a self-help guru rather than a scientist, on account of all the books, DVDs and nutritional supplements which he hawks so shamelessly on infomercials” and that Amen was “the most controversial psychiatrist in America [who] may also be the most commercially successful.”[16] Amen stated he felt the accolades went hand-in-hand and that “One reason why they hate me is because I make money. […] our biggest referral sources are our patients. If I’m defrauding them how would I stay in business for decades?”[16]”

(cough) Profits? (cough)

Ornish has been selling books for his entire career (mostly with bad science, by the way) suggesting that meat is the root of all evil

Here they are. Some places have a 25% growth rate in opioid deaths. Now that we have fentanyl and carfentanil (5,000 times stronger than heroin) being manufactured by the cartels… hold onto your hats.

Fixed that for you.

Try to follow this bouncing ball…

You posted a link to a guy’s video. That guy made the video series to increase sales of his supplements. Those supplements are poorly formulated and will not do what he says they will.

That’s three bounces. Can’t be too hard to follow.

Clinical studies go back to 2001. Since legalization happened in 96’ the point still stands.

Is the heroin epidemic due to pot?

People had access to pot before legalization. People have access to pot now where it’s currently illegal. Also Big Pharma is profiting immensely from MJ. They’re going to keep profiting.

So because people have access to something that is illegal that makes it okay? They should be punished by law, if caught, because they are trying to relieve their symptoms? Big Pharma is profiting from MJ as they couldn’t keep it from being legalized. So better late than never. Jump on the bandwagon or be left behind.

Those are the studies I found with 12 seconds of googling. Plenty go back further. If you care, at all, you’ll go find them yourself.

No, the heroin epidemic is due to heroin addicts. But you asked where the heroin crazed zombies are. They’re all over the place. You just don’t care to find out. You’re a sheep on a different team.

Of course not. But the point was that nobody is being FORCED. Options exist.

Welcome to how businesses work. You’re never going to come close to stopping 1% of what they do.

Seems like Zep continues to post this type of stuff just to argue w/ ppl out of boredom.

No, but it is tremendous irony that you, so vehemently opposed to all things driven by “profits” in any way, shape or form.

Again, a point you and a lot of people on this forum can’t seem to grasp, is that ALL profit is not the same. You can’t discern the difference between the different forms of profit. A point you cannot understand.

it isn’t available to me until it has gone through a lengthy process first. Clinical trials? With all of it’s revolving door policies, can they be trusted anymore than a circus clown?

These are only a few as there are plenty more.

I will grant you the Dr. Oz criticism.

Dr. Amen our biggest referral sources are our patients. If I’m defrauding them how would I stay in business for decades?” Can you legitimately answer this?

As far as Ornish is concerned maybe meat is the root of all evil. Not meat that isn’t injected with antibiotics and aren’t feed GMO corn(not their natural diet)sprayed with herbicides and insecticides.

Oh no Dr. Northrup sells something, gasp!

Is this the result of legalized marijuana?

Says who? The great Chris_Colucci.

WellYeah

Meh. You’re just one of those sheep being fooled by Big Alt Pharma. Everything Big Pharma has done in the West, they’ve done it in Asia, including filling the pockets of the government. You are getting scraps from random opportunists selling a westernized version of an industry that’s been fucking the common man for decades.

The only real things that work are ephedra(ma huang), qigong and coconut oil.

Ask if you would like to know more. Screw Big Pharma and all.

Yin guo bao ying zhong you shi.

Karma and retribution will come in time.

Bro, that’s Forbes, you corporate shill!!

Thank you, but I’m not especially concerned whether you “grant” me anything. It remains a fact that the first person that you cited giving positive press to Dr. Hyman’s book is a television-famous doctor who is the single best known “doctor making money off his name” in the country, and further, that he did it by literally referring to things as “magic” and “miracle” on his television program when there is zero credible evidence for either of the products he was hawking

#PROFITZ

You missed the four separate references to “making money” in that quote?

#PROFITZ

Ornish has been making money off this idea for decades. It’s been his entire life’s crusade.

#PROFITZ

I’m not against people selling things. You are, dude. You’ve cited “profits over people” in every single criticism you’ve leveled at Big Pharma. All four people that praised Hyman’s book, plus Hyman himself, are equally profit-driven.

#PROFITZ

If you’re going to whine about Big Pharma doing unethical things in the name of the almighty dollar, you ought to at least acknowledge that the guys on the team you root for are also seeking to make dollars.
