Rethinking Autoimmune Disease - MD Chaffee

Dr Chaffee presents his paradigm-altering thesis that autoimmune diseases are the result of the body's attack on plant compounds. He presents evidence that removal, as in a carnivore diet, leads to remission of a wide range of autoimmune diseases.

Summary
In this presentation at the Regenerate Conference, the speaker challenges the conventional understanding of autoimmune diseases—the idea that these conditions result from the body mistakenly attacking itself due to molecular mimicry or immune dysregulation. Traditionally, autoimmunity is thought to arise when the immune system is sensitized to self-antigens following an environmental trigger, such as a pathogen or toxin, often influenced by genetic predisposition. However, the speaker asserts that this model does not hold up well against clinical and immunological observations. Instead, they propose an alternative explanation focusing on environmental toxins, particularly plant lectins and glyphosate, as

Summary
In this comprehensive talk, the speaker challenges widely held beliefs surrounding fiber, gut health, and the role of the microbiome in weight management, particularly within the context of low carbohydrate diets. The talk dispels the myth that fiber is essential for a healthy diet by presenting scientific evidence showing that fiber does not alleviate constipation symptoms and, in fact, may worsen t

Nina Teicholz is a New York Times bestselling investigative science journalist who has played a pivotal role in challenging the conventional wisdom on dietary fat. Her groundbreaking work, 'The Big Fat Surprise', which The Economist named as the #1 science book of 2014, has led to a profound rethinking on whether we have been wrong to think that fat, including saturated fat, causes disease.
Nina continues to explore the political, institutional, and industry forces that prevent better thinking on issues related to nutrition and science. She has been published in the New York Times, the New Yorker, the British Medical Journal, Gourmet, the Los Angeles Times and many other outlets.

Financial Conflicts of Interests and the End of Evidence-Based Medicine - MD Fung

“Evidence-based medicine is actually so corrupt as to be useless or harmful,” Marcia Angell wrote in 2009. The statement was less a revelation than something many already knew, but it made waves because of its source. Angell, a medical insider, had spent two decades as the editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Dr. Jason Fung is also a medical insider who has become wary of scientific research that purports to be “evidence based.” A well-known nephrologist and author, Fung often speaks about Type-2 diabetes reversal and the metabolic effects of intermittent fasting, but in this presentation from Dec. 15, 2018, he turns his focus toward the many ways the foundations of evidence-based medicine have become corrupted by financial conflicts of interest.
The first conflicts of interest he highlights pertain to the corruption of doctors. Practicing physicians who accept gifts from Big Pharma are 225-335% more likely to prescribe drugs from the gift-giving company than those

Summary
This video transcript features a detailed discussion about how human physiology, particularly facial and skeletal development, has evolved and continues to change in response to nutrition and environmental factors. The speaker emphasizes that whereas past physiological adaptations were generally beneficial and sustainable, modern dietary factors—especially the excessive consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from seed oils—are creating severe health problems. Drawing on personal family examples and h

Summary
In this comprehensive lecture, the speaker explores whether humans are biologically adapted to be carnivores and what implications this has for protein consumption. Using a variety of scientific data including evolutionary biology, anthropology, genetics, and physiology, the talk challenges commonly held views about human diets, particularly the reliance on ethnographic studies of recent hunter-gatherers that do not reflect Paleolithic conditions. Key evidence points to humans’ physiological and morphological adaptations that align more closely with carnivorous rather than herbivorous or omnivorous tr
