Blind Spots When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health

There are a lot of illustrations of this in his most recent book, which is called Blind Spots, when medicine gets it wrong and what it means for our health. The first chapter is titled The Salem Peanut Trial, How Experts Created an Epidemic.

He's also written a few books, including Blind Spots, When Medicine Gets It Wrong and What It Means for Our Health.

Blind Spots, When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health.

So when we use good science in medicine, we can help a lot of people, but when we use the opinions of a small group of leaders and central planners in medicine where they issue these broad edicts, we have a lousy track record. Food pyramid, the opioid epidemic, the obesity epidemic.

The Mayo Clinic looked at 14,000 kids and compared those who had an antibiotic in the first couple of years of life. This is a scary part of the book.

The kids who took an antibiotic in the first couple of years of life compared to kids who did not had a 20% higher rate of obesity, 21% higher rate of learning disabilities, all of which are on the rise in the modern era of antibiotics, 32% higher rate of attention deficit disorder, 90% higher rate of asthma, and nearly a 300% higher rate of celiac.

The book is called Blind Spots by Marty McCary, M-A-K-A-R-Y.

It is called Blind Spots, When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health.

The microbiome, the poison food supply, the toxins we're exposed to, the bad recommendations that we put out there, the fact that some of our modern-day health crises have been caused by the hubris of the medical establishment.

We said opioids were not addictive, igniting the opioid epidemic.

We said we gave the wrong advice on peanut allergies, igniting the modern-day peanut allergy epidemic.

The book is called Blind Spots by Marty McCary, M-A-K-A-R-Y.

He's a renowned surgeon and professor at Johns Hopkins University. Also, he's the author of the brand new book Blindspots, When Medicine Gets It Wrong and What It Means for Our Health.

So let's talk about so many there's so many blind spots in the American medical system. Why don't we start with one that R.F.K. Jr. is constantly talking about, and that is chronic disease.

He's been talking about this for a very long time. The increase in chronic disease, failures of nutrition.

We're one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and half of our nation's children are sick with overweight or obesity.

Well, that's Dr. Marty McCary, his brand new book, Blind Spots is available September 17th. Dr. McCary, great to talk to you as always.

But the book I have doesn't really talk much about COVID because people are sick of it and it's kind of tribal.

They demonized natural fat for 60 years, igniting the refined carbohydrate added sugar addiction that led to the obesity epidemic.

And so the body does not react with an acute inflammatory response. It has a low grade response and it makes people feel sick.

I was just talking to a medical student from a school in the US and he was telling me he got two hours of nutrition training in his medical school.

There is truly zero benefit at this point [to the COVID shot].

We need to ask these big questions we've never been asking. We can't just blame all the rise in chronic diseases on obesity and people not listening to our instructions as doctors. We've got to look at a poison food supply and a toxic environment.

24 years ago, the American Academy of Pediatrics saw some peanut allergies out there in the population. Most were mild, and they were rare. They decided to tell parents, you can avoid a peanut allergy by having your kids abstain from peanut butter or any peanut products for three years after they're born. That advice was catastrophic.

One of the biggest screw-ups in modern medicine was saying that hormone replacement therapy for women going through menopause causes cancer.

50 million women have been denied hormone therapy because of that false claim.

I wrote Blindspot so I could educate people about the truth on so many giant health recommendations that are either wrong or they should be reversed and have not been reversed because the science has challenged them.

to look is to see only a fraction of what one is looking at. Even in the most vigilant eye there is a blind spot. What is missing?
