My patients often share with me the myriad health newsletters to which they subscribe. Recently a patient gave me a newsletter written by Dr. David Williams. My first question before reading the newsletter was what kind of doctor is Dr. Williams? The patient responded I'm sure he's an MD. In fact, Dr. Williams is a chiropractor. Now don't get me wrong. I have nothing against chiropractors as I've used them myself for strained backs and shoulders. Also, I have no problem with anyone writing about nutrition as long as they stick to scientifically validated facts.
However, I do have two major pet peeves. People who distort information, and people who try to confuse you with information so they can sell you something. The newsletter I was asked to read concerned the lost value of eating an entire chicken and all parts of animals (not at one sitting) because otherwise you don't get the gelatin contained in bone marrow, etc. The premise was, as is often the premise in such rubbish, is that the more recent trends not to eat the chitins (pig intestine), pancreas, etc. has led to diabetes, heart disease, obesity, etc. and if you eat them, all those problems may disappear.
The newsletter starts innocently enough like they all do with a pseudo-scientific explanation of the importance of gelatin to our health. But like most of these non-credible newsletters it veers off to the fantastic when it makes unsubstantiated health claims. Of course, the moment that starts I become suspicious if there's a sales pitch coming up. To Dr. William's credit, there was no pitch for selling his own gelatin, but there was reference to another commercial product, which I could not find for sale on his website. Nevertheless, Dr. Williams's website lists many products for sale of questionable value including the now highly disputed resveratrol (due to research improprieties).
The bottom line on Dr. Williams is that he has an actual degree and a license. He is more trustworthy than those PhDs from non-accredited schools that I've been writing about in previous blogs. Notwithstanding, when Dr. Williams makes preposterous claims about the all curative health benefits of a substance like gelatin, he throws his credibility into seriously questionable territory and by doing so undermines any good he may otherwise be capable of doing.
Facts and science matter and we have enough bad information already out there. We don't need more articles that tell us this may help us and this may hurt us. It only adds to the confusion. I feel if you don't have something of value to say, stay quiet. As the old saying goes, "Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than open it and remove all doubt."

Yes, you can trust Dr. David Williams, I believe. He helped cure adrenal fatigue and a thyroid imbalance in me that a half dozen doctors (MDs!) did NOT.
ReplyDeleteYes, you can trust Dr. David Williams, I believe. He helped cure adrenal fatigue and a thyroid imbalance in me that a half dozen doctors (MDs!) did NOT.
ReplyDeleteI just happened upon Dr. David Williams' website so I really can't comment one way or the other on his practice or his reputation. I can, however, be supportive of his profession. Many years ago, after a difficult surgery, I began having numerous physical issues. Fainting, seizures, fatigue,anxiety attacks,etc. The revolving door began; neurologists, cardiologists,General Care Doctors. None of them came up with any solutions other than medications, shoulder shrugs, etc. Finally my friend drug me kicking and screaming to her chiropractor (I had never been)that also practiced nutrition and the mind/body connection. After taking more time with me than any other MD had, he suggested that I have my blood sugar analyzed. He showed me that the nerves in my spine that talk to my adrenals were being compromised and said my problem was probably hypoglycemia. I was given a very strict diet, vitamins, and spinal adjustments. In just one week I was given my life back for the first time in 3 years!!! So, even though I respect and use traditional medicine from time to time, I have had my eyes opened to the world of non-traditional healing and have experienced many positive experiences. There is a place for both in our life to remain healthy.

ReplyDeleteThe benefits from food will never be scientifically validated, the same way sugar will never be validated as a detriment to our health. It conflicts with pharmaceutical sales and food industry interest.
ReplyDeletePeople need to keep this in mind.
Why do doctors claim to be the experts on nutrition if most of them have no training in nutrition? The only people who should even be commenting on Dr. Williams are registered dietitians. Doctors knocking down the benefits of food when they don't even have training in diet or nutrition, should not be considered valid sources either.

ReplyDeleteDon't mean to post several times, I apologize. There should be an edit button.
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble losing those 20 extra pounds so I bought some of Dr Williams MeraLean Advantage to see if it would help. After taking 2 capsule every day for a few days, I started to feel digestive discomfort.I cut back to 1 capsule a day and felt worse. Until one evening I threw up everything I'd eaten. Obviously I stopped taking them and felt better.
ReplyDeleteIt could have been a coincidence - maybe I'd gotten some stomach flu - so after a few weeks I took one capsule in the afternoon. I felt lousy all evening and at midnight I threw up everything I'd eaten. Yuck.
Well obviously you could lose weight this way but I'm pretty sure it's not the way anyone wants to do so.
I called for a refund and they refunded the unused bottle, and then after I sent them back, they refunded the 5 unused bottles.
Such is the power of detox. But you didn't let it work its cleansing work before quitting.
DeleteI have used his joint supplements due to an injury at the gym. The pain went away in a few days. The. Supplements contain natural ingredients which I prefer. Mainstream medicine do not want us to use mother natures medicine because they can't be patented and make millions of dollars from.
ReplyDeleteAll alternative doctors are constantly being bashed by conventional doctors because they cut into the mainstream medicine doctors profits
If you were born into the world with drugs then i would look to an MD when i get sick. If you stray from nature you are not going to be happy with the results. When you are sick you don't wand drugs as they all give you potential side effects. Now you have more problems.

I have take Dr. Williams' newsletter for years and have found him to be a good source of information. He was warning about the dangers of bisphosphonate drugs years before the medical establishment took note of it and he was recommending probiotics long before they became fashionable. He has also sounded the alarm on the dangerous Gardasil vaccine, which is being pushed by mainstream medicine despite its many dangers. I have found over the years that many of the things that he recommended worked for me.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to contact Dr. Williams on a chat line or phone? I react to most drugs and have one month to show that Nattokinase will lower my blood pressure and control heart flutters, etc.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine was studying to be a Doctor in York. He told me that 80% of his lectures were given by pharmaceutical company representatives..they hardly had any study on diet and nutrition in all the time he was there. I do not know too much about Dr Williams , but it shocks me that most trained MD's seem to be so ill-informed of such information. They are also so busy that they are unlikely to have the time to find out further information except from pharma company representatives pedaling many highly dangerous remedies that can lead to toxic overload and worse problems than they were meant to solve. They and we as mainstream users have been conned into accepting a toxic use of harmful chemicals. At least better information is now becoming available for all of us to educate themselves on. Best to cross check everything we find out..to find out which is the most reliable information...but i certainly would not trust an MD's opinion on my health without first checking out all the facts myself...they don't seem to know enough and haven't got the time ...and possibly inclination to find out.
ReplyDeleteIt is imperative that we read blog post very carefully. I am already done it and find that this post is really amazing.

I suffered from joint pain way back in the '90s. I also had chronic sinusitus that could not be fixed by surgery -- I had the surgery, so I know. Dr. Williams web-site and his newsletters educated me in a way that MDs never could, because MDs must tow-the-line to protect themselves from lawsuits by unhappy patients. My joint problems are under control now for over 20 years. With regard to the chronic sinusitus (which left me with bad headaches any time I lay down for more then 10 minutes, yes that would include every night trying to sleep,) I walked into a health store one day and the proprietor recommended Sinna, by Dr. Vogel. I followed the directions and within 48 hours my sinus problems were completely under control. So do I respect doctors? Of course I do! They save me more than once. It's just that they don't know everything..who does? Do your own research and take the best advice you can find. Experiment if you can and like me you may find the answer to your prayers.
ReplyDeleteI learned about Yamoa Powder from Dr. William's newsletters. My wife was in the hospital with regularly with asthma issues. After one month of taking the yamoa powder mixed with local honey the asthma issues went totally away. That was over 20 years ago, and not one asthma attack since. I learned about nattokinase from his newsletter. After taking it for a few months, my circulation issues (blueish-purple toes)went away. I don't know if it's connected, but my cataracts started to dissolve as well. Where I could not drive a car at night anymore due to the cataracts, I now have no issues with them at all. I learned about Diamond V XPC from the newsletter (now sold as EpiCor). Myself and my boss were the only ones in our office who remained completely well one winter while everyone else was sick for months with upper respiratory issues they could not shake. My next door neighbor was diagnosed with I believe Stage 4 liver cancer and told to get his affairs in order. I told him about IMMPower (AHCC), that is derived from a medicinal mushroom. After a few months on that supplement he went into total remission and is still healthy 12 years later. I learned about that too from David Williams newsletters. I've also learned about and used various other supplements from his newsletters, and they've all worked for me and my family and friends!!! None of these products was purchased from Dr. Williams. The only money he made from me was for the subscription to his newletter. I did stop getting the newsletter about 10 years ago, as I found that he was not introducing too much new info and was rehashing a lot of previous info, but I learned a great deal about what alternative modalities work!!!!
ReplyDeleteI notice that you only mention Dr Williams as be a chiropractor, which is obviously a joke in your book. Why didn't you also tell everyone that he's also a biochemist?
ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
