“The estimated third most common cause of death globally after heart disease and cancer is prescribed medications. What your doctor prescribes for you” – Dr. Aseem Malhotra
By 2030, 23.6 million people will die EVERY YEAR from heart disease. The food we’re eating is making us sick and the “cure” big pharma is selling is making us sicker. And worst of all – your doctors aren’t even trained to know what’s best for you.
Dr Aseem Malhotra is one of the UK’s leading heart doctors and has made it his mission to reveal the dark secrets of nutrition policy, exercise and the healthcare system. He’s the author of three books including ‘A Statin-Free Life’, and is the man behind the campaign that saw Jamie Oliver and football icon Steven Gerrard fight to have better school meals offered across the UK.
In his new documentary “First Do No Pharm”, Dr Malhotra exposes the biggest cover ups in modern medicine and says big pharma has “abandoned its moral compass in pursuit of profit”. He argues we live in a world of “too much medicine” and says drugs like statins are doing nothing to help curb rising rates of heart disease – and may be causing more harm than good.
In this episode, Tim and Aseem reveal the damaging consequences of big pharma’s influence on healthcare, and how it funds 50% of medical education in the US. They get into the lasting impact of the covid-19 vaccine and how we were lied to about its benefits. They explain just how damaging statins, and prescription drugs in general, really are. And they explore why so many people are dying from heart disease and how you can avoid becoming another statistic.
