Ask Dr. Drew
Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon โ€“ Ask Dr. Drew โ€“ Ep 488

So the cerebral vasculature, I will tell you clinically, it just is. It just is so. I guarantee you that will be proven. The coronary part I want to talk about in a second. But first, hormone replacement. Hormone responsive tumors, we just did this automatic sort of deduction, which prostate cancer and breast cancer are hormone responsive tumors. They respond to blockade of hormone.

They respond, accelerate when exposed to hormones. Therefore, these hormones must cause the cancers when there was never actually any evidence for it in either of these hormone responsive tumors. And so people have very much backed away from that. But that being the case, I mean, you don't want your cancer to get away from you if you have high risk for that, that kind of thing.

But I want to go to heart disease. So you say women die of heart disease. I would love your next book to be about really doing a big dig on heart disease generally. Because there is a chapter that nobody knows except physicians. which is that when you attempt to fill out a death certificate, the counties will accept almost nothing except heart disease.

They will say send everything back to the coroner or for an autopsy. And if families are not inclined that way, you as a physician feel sort of obliged to go, well, their heart did stop. So, okay, cardiopulmonary arrest due to cardiac standstill due to myocardial damage, which is all interpreted as heart disease. And none of it is true.

It's the mess we got into with COVID or people were dying with COVID. Maybe just do a whole expose on death certificates in this country and how doctors aren't trained to fill out death certificates and how death certificates change county to county and how the way they're constructed, they don't reflect the reality of what happened to the patient. That to me would be a huge asset. I love it.

Well, I would have to go into the research on it in every different county and stuff. I don't know if I have time for that. But the fact is that women, yes, women do have more heart disease than we pay attention to normally. But when they get it, it's usually very elderly in life, very advanced in age. And it's often women with other risk factors.

And again, more often than not, it is actually misrepresented as heart disease or cerebrovascular disease when it is not. So... Let's, you know, sort of put that down. So I have less concerns about the cardiac issues. I, like you, I think you start early and often and you protect yourself with estrogens.

Yeah. Yeah. No, I think I'm glad that you do that. And I taught medicine for a long time and emphasize exactly what you're talking about. But I realized that and Brett Weinstein confirmed this. You know, he was he was an undergraduate professor. He's the Black Horse. Oh, I know him and Heather. Okay, and he, I gave a little talk one time and he came running over to me afterwards.

He goes, that's it, that's the problem. And what I put my finger on was that we're not teaching how to do science. That people are leaving scientific STEM training programs without ever being exposed to the actual scientific method properly done. And so we have physicians entering medical school. Medical school, certainly they aren't teaching science. That has nothing to do with science.

That's a language course, essentially, right? Or maybe an anatomy course. But you have to be trained as a scientist as an undergraduate. And that's where you learn how to read literature. And when you learn how to read literature, you realize looking at a lot of clinical data that it's all bullshit. There's no actual science being done. It's just sort of... Book reports or something.
