VEGAN DOCTORS HARM FOLLOWERS? Today we examine Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s explosive public allegation that other prominent vegan doctors are harming their patients, and causing dementia and serious illness among “many of their followers.” Dr. Fuhrman endorses the plant-based diet, but has now asserted that the plant-based diet as taught by certain low-fat plant-based medical doctors – whom he described as “leaders of this movement” – is dangerous to the public, and will cause serious and irreversible disease, and shortened life. We are awaiting Dr. Fuhrman’s naming the vegan doctors whose followers, he asserts, have been presenting at his office in large numbers and being diagnosed with dementia, based on following the diet advice of these other doctors. Dementia can only safely be avoided, according to Dr. Fuhrman, if you follow his advice, and purchase certain supplements, which are available for sale on Dr. Fuhrman’s website. Which are the plant-based doctors who, according to Dr. Fuhrman, are inflicting serious disease onto the public? Is Dr. Fuhrman attacking Dr. McDougall? Dr. Esselstyn? Dr. Barnard? Other doctors? In his new article, Dr. Fuhrman states he was hoping to reach out to these doctors, “before it is too late,” so that they themselves did not succumb to the same devastating fate, which Dr. Fuhrman says many of their followers have fallen victim to. Check out today’s video, which is a response to Dr. Fuhrman’s article which levels accusations against other vegan doctors, and in which Dr. Fuhrman also falsely asserts I am part of some kind of conspiracy.
