| 0:00.0 | Welcome to making the argument. Today we have a special guest talking about, I think, |
| 0:05.8 | let's say at least a slightly controversial issue. In fact, one that has become even more so |
| 0:10.2 | over the last several years is people have started to question the medical experts. Obviously |
| 0:15.4 | after COVID, there was a lot of us that had questions because we felt like we had not only |
| 0:19.3 | being misled, but deliberately lied to |
| 0:21.3 | and punished for asking questions. And now that has carried over into a lot of other areas |
| 0:26.3 | that go way beyond things like vaccines or pandemics, but into a whole host of various treatments, |
| 0:32.5 | therapy, and pharmaceuticals that we are commonly given for common diagnoses. And today, we have an expert on |
| 0:39.9 | this topic that we trust because he doesn't necessarily go with the narrative that we're always |

| 1:12.4 | And COVID seems to have just completely ripped a hole in that to where some people are saying, |
| 1:18.8 | you know what, I'm just, I'm done with Western medicine, right? If the doctor tells me to do it, |
| 1:23.5 | I might do the opposite, not simply because they got things wrong, but kind of the arrogance |
| 1:31.8 | associated with how they got it wrong. And this has led people to ask a whole host of questions |
| 1:38.1 | with respect to therapy. And a big one of those questions is all of the drugs that we're being |
| 1:42.6 | constantly prescribed. And this is what you |
| 1:45.4 | talk about on your podcast. And so I guess the big question I want to know right off the bat |
| 1:50.6 | to kind of start this conversation, have we all gone just a little bit overboard on challenging |
