the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day you just said something that's like very important you can't be dogmatic when you're talking about vaccines or about anything
Yes, it is good to keep an open mind, isn't it, and be flexible and look at a 360-degree view of things rather than your tunnel vision and what you're indoctrinated into, isn't it?
Yeah. And especially if you know that that indoctrination has been on purpose and profitable. And, you know, one of the great things about your book is, first of all, your book's called Dissolving Illusions.
I know I've talked about on the podcast a bunch of times, but you you also highlight a lot of things that we know are beneficial that somehow or another get lumped into nonsense, like even cinnamon.
Yeah. Cinnamon is a powerful herb, actually, and it's known to be helpful in glucose handling for a lot of diabetics taking it in capsule form now. I noticed at the end of my nephrology career. that a lot of my own patients were taking cinnamon capsules. But it also has a lot of vitamin C in it, and I think that was probably one of the keys.
A lot of those old remedies that we wrote about, the magic in them probably was the vitamin C in them.
I dismissed all that stuff as total nonsense. I was like, oh, that's hippie nonsense, like echinacea, like get out of here. It's hippie nonsense. Garlic, come on, get out of here. Then the more I've read things, especially like garlic is incredible for staph infections for some reason.
It is. And it doesn't develop drug resistance like a lot of the drugs that are engineered for it. Yeah, the hippies seem to have got it right, I think.
Well, that whole idea of natural remedies is so just universally dismissed by non-silly people. When you say natural remedies, that's great. If you have a heart attack, go to a doctor, stupid. That's generally people's appeal to authority. But the doctor should be recommending those things too. They're good too. Like vitamin D, super important. Vitamin A, super important.
