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

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
