platforms in an attractive manner ... Beware of them
The consultant warned the internal, endocrine and diabetes, Dr. Nasser Al-Juhani, whom he called "doctors selling illusion on social media platforms in an attractive manner."
Al-Juhani said: "One of the followers sent me a link to the program (second thought), which is presented on YouTube, presented by Dr. Karim Ali, and talks about many medical topics, including a topic about" the thyroid gland "in 3 parts, and asked me to give my views on its scientific content. , And methods of treatment recommended for thyroid gland. "
He added: "This doctor intends the method of drama, excitement, intimidation and intimidation in his episodes, and speaks with confidence and enthusiasm, as he extensively explains the fundamentals of a specific disease in a structural way such as the physiological aspects, for example the role of minerals, vitamins and herbs in health and disease, all of which are scientific theses known to doctors and specialists, but formulate them in a way Simple and interesting. "
And Al-Juhani added: "It is noticeable that Dr. Karim speaks in all medical specialties, and this doctor is not present in our current world! Because science, including medicine, is a sea of science, and every doctor has a specific specialization sailing in it, for example, if you bring a teacher (paint) ) To dye your apartment and you had another problem with air conditioning! I asked the painter to guide you to an air conditioning technician, but he surprised you and told you: I fix you air conditioning! Do you think you will agree to that? Often you will not agree to this because the specialization is different and also in the field of medicine, Would you allow someone to treat you without the specialization itself? Often the answer is "
He continued: "So how do you allow your treatment to be through social media and from people who have no clinical experience in treating your illness ?!" He continued: "There is no doubt that clinical experience and the practice of specialization itself are among the most important basic conditions that must be met in order for us to believe in any doctor of our dearest, which is our health."
Al-Juhani added that “Dr. Karim deliberately raises the scientific debate and contradicts doctors who are able to specialize in their specializations, and even criticizes them and advises them from time to time through his channel, underestimating their amount, as if he is the only one who understands! As for others, no. Or perhaps he studied modern medicine or native medicine. On another planet! And all the doctors of the world have not studied like their specialty! ".
Dr. Al-Juhani pointed out that the rings on the thyroid gland include the presentation of valid scientific facts about the thyroid gland, but it is inferred from them wrong treatment recommendations, and even a deception that has no scientific foundations in violation of the medical norms based on evidence to treat these diseases in all countries of the world, as its episodes include many Of medical errors. "
Al-Juhani indicated that Dr. Karim is trying hard to inflict and delude the largest segment of patients and society with his mistaken view and intimidating people that failure to follow his advice will have dire consequences, and his method of describing the treatment is wrong, and not based on scientific grounds, taking advantage of the lack of general knowledge about the details of the disease And the absence of censors, which monitors the healthy scientific content of everything that is published on YouTube. "
Al-Juhani asked: “I do not know his intention of distorting scientific facts, whether he is ignorant or intentionally! Then he announces and requests his advice through the site he is marketing to develop a wrong (and perhaps deadly) treatment plan. He also markets herbal products, and many of them are not It has sufficient scientific evidence to guarantee its safety and security. "
Al-Juhani reviewed some of Dr. Karim Ali’s delusional and complicated recipe for treating hypothyroidism, leaving the final judgment on that to readers, and he said: “He mentioned 16 prescriptions and recommendations - perhaps from the principle that if one of them strikes the other - the prescription of Dr. Karim Ali For the treatment of hypothyroidism:
1- Iodine 150 mcg once daily
2- Vitamin D 50,000 IU per day
3- Vitamin C: from eating or pills
4- Zinc - Fish - Nuts - Pumpkin Pulp
Or 25-50 mg per day
5- Take vitamin E - (olive oil - almond - pumpkin pulp - sunflower pulp - avocado - spinach) or a pill daily, without doses and limit the duration of treatment
6- Preventing gluten because it leads to immune diseases (not eating barley, corn, and wheat in grains and bread) and this is totally impractical.
7- Milk thistle 500 mg twice a day for at least 3 months a year
8- Selenium 200 mg before bed or nuts 200 mg twice a week
9- Ginko biloba every day for 3 months
10 - Indian installment 3-6 months, without doses and determining the duration of treatment
11- Take probiotics (convert T4 to T3 in the intestine) without specifying the doses and duration of treatment
12- Iron, without specifying the doses and duration of treatment
13- Estrogen and progesterin must be stopped, as it is used by women
14- Stop hydrogenated oils
15- Stop anything that raises sugar
16- It was mentioned that cow''s milk causes type 1 diabetes and is one of the causes of immune diseases, a sign of abstaining from cow''s milk. This is not entirely convincing.
However, in modern evidence-based medicine, we prescribe one pill, which is thyroxine to compensate for the lack of thyroxin, and this is very easy and practical compared to 16 recommendations, most of which are generally needed by the body, not only for the thyroid gland, and it also calls for the use of plants, not Some have sufficient studies, which expose people to the side effects of these herbs. "
Al-Juhani demanded that medical information, especially on treatment, be taken from its reliable sources To avoid possible complications, God forbid.
