So welcome everyone, this is Dr. Mercola helping you take control of your health and

today we are honored to be joined by Dr. Peter Breggin who has a very illustrious

career and I would categorize him as one of the true medical heroes.

One of the people who's no longer with us is David Bowie, an icon in the music industry and he had the song

Heroes which is one of my favorites and what is a hero? Hero is someone with the

to know he's a massive hero he's

confident and he really knows a difference between knowing and believing he

what when you know something at the fundamental rate and he's clever and creative so when you combine all these with a passion

you really can become a hero and he's done this for four decades he's a he's a

psychiatrist he did his residence. He trained at Harvard, taught there, and he taught at Johns Hopkins.

And he's done a lot of work and actually has over a dozen best-selling books on psychiatry and he's been appeared in major media channels like Oprah, 60 minutes, 2020, Larry King, and he's frequently referred to as the conscience of psychiatry because he's been able to successfully reform the medical health field and probably what he's best well known for and what really to me

puts him in the hero field is his ability, it's characteristic of being the first physician to come out against lobotomy. Yes, lobotomy is.

He's going to describe what that is in case you weren't aware of it already and psychosurgery.
