Withdrawals


No, not from any food, but from seeing and hearing Dr. McDougall and Gustavo do webinars together!



In order to stop those horrible feelings I've been rewatching a lot of the older webinars. I find myself preferring going directly to Dr. McDougall's or Gustavo's YouTube pages to see them because they are mostly closed captioned, as bad as the automatic captioning service is. Yes, sometimes the captioning is as bad as this dubbing from one of the Godzilla sequels, Godzilla Raids Again (a.k.a. Gigantis, the Fire Monster):


and many times they get down-right entertaining, but for partially deaf people like me, every little bit helps.

According to the webinar page on the McDougall web site, these webinars will continue again in July "when the McDougalls return from travelling." Until then, there are over a hundred of these replays to keep me occupied.

Digestive Tune-Up Webinar # 6 - Chapter 9


I can't find any video replay from April 20th, the week my husband was on vacation and we were out of the house almost all day, every day. Was it even held? I didn't think so until Gustavo says on this one that there were questions about last week's talk. Neither Gustavo's or Dr. McD's YouTube pages have it, so I'm going to assume it was never held for some reason. With all the technical glitches they've been having, I can't say I'm surprised if it was cancelled.

Another Dr. Lisle Q&A Webinar


I haven't had a chance to watch this one yet, either. Had the landlord up doing work in the apartment. I was able to tune in for a minute about half-way through, saw comments were turned off, shook my head in disbelief (How does one have a Q and A without questions?) and planned on watching it sometime today while my husband watches his Netflix rentals.

Digestive Tune Up - Webinar 1


This is the book being discussed: Dr. McDougall's Digestive Tune-Up

This week's discussion based on: My Stomach Is On Fire and I Can't Put It Out newsletter article

The video is in 2 parts because after the first few minutes Dr. McDougall lost his connection and when he was finally able to get reconnected the talk started with the week's subject.



Next week is Dr Doug Lisle talking about his video The Perfect Personality, first seen at the 2010 ASW.

Finally - Dr. Lisle Q&A Webinar


After 2 months of technical difficulties - and about 5 minutes of problems before they actually got this working - Dr. Tolosa and Dr Lisle have their monthly sit-down, and this one is the promised Q&A.

Webinar - Arthritis

(Forgive the crankiness. I've been sick again since a few days before Christmas and still not feeling any better, then my computer starts acting up and the hard drive needs to be replaced ASAP, and being the holidays, stores are sold out of the drive I needed, and when I found one, it's going to take a few days to get here.)

I expected so much from this webinar and got so little. I really wish there was some way to reel Dr. McDougall in to keep him on topic.

And I don't know what's going on with his health lately, but his skin coloration has gotten pretty awful lately, especially all the brown splotches on his forehead and yellowed cheeks.

Webinar - Urinary Diseases


Darn! I forgot all about this and missed the live broadcast. My husband has been sick - another cold - so we've just been hanging around, reading and watching tv. At least I can watch this later while he takes a nap.

I better not forget about next week's webinar on arthritis - I even submitted questions for that one.

Dr. Lisle Subbing for Dr. McDougall Webinar

For some reason Dr. McDougall couldn't make it to the scheduled webinar on arthritis, and Dr. Doug Lisle filled in at the last minute. The arthritis talk will (hopefully!) be next Thursday. Don't forget to download the chapter from the book from the web page.

A Christmas Miracle!

In my email when I awoke this morning came an announcement from YouTube that Gustavo was currently live doing a webinar entitled "Whole Foods Webinar." Of course, it was no longer live, since I read this email hours after it was sent, but I clicked the link, anyway, and look what I found - a webinar with not only Dr. McDougall, but his wife Mary and daughter Heather, another Gustavo favorite Dr Doug Lisle, and - are my eyes deceiving me?? - Jeff Novick! This is truly a Christmas miracle, seeing Jeff in a discussion again! Oh, how I missed him!


I haven't had a chance to watch it yet but did download it to my computer, in case it vanishes. That happens frequently on Gustavo's YouTube page. I suggest you all hurry and do the same.

McDougall Webinar - Hypertension


And don't forget to download the book chapter and newsletter article that were reading material for this session from Dr. McDougall's website.

BTW, the webinar web page for this says a closed caption version of this is available on YouTube. Don't believe it. 1) This particular video, as of 10/21/2016 @ 12:45pm EDT, is NOT caption-enabled, and 2) When his videos are captioned, it's the YouTube voice-to-text software translation, not a real "someone listened and typed it out" closed captioning. 9 times out of 10 these are totally useless and instead of being informative, are either frustrating or entertaining, depending on your mood. I'm sure you all know of some TV closed captioning occasions where the text on the screen bears little resemblance to what's being said, and many times aren't even showing real words. Well, YouTube captioning is like that. Believe me, with my 60+ year history of being hard of hearing, I know bad captioning when I see it!

Webinar with Dr. Lisle: Panic Attacks and Anxiety Q&A, Part 2


With my son's new job (finally!) and then his being out sick so soon after starting, all my days are mixed up and I forgot all about the weekly webinar. Luckily, Gustavo has the replay out already so I can watch it some time later today.

McDougall's Medicine Webinar 2 - Osteoporosis

(Edited 9/25/2016 to correct the video URL. For some reason Gustavo deleted the version that was there and reposted it, hence the need for a new url.)

I just realized yesterday that the chapters from the book these new webinars are based on - McDougall's Medicine: A Challenging Second Opinion - are being given away for free by Dr. McDougall as PDF files on his web site. By the time this series is finished we'll have the entire book in digital form. Thanks, Dr. McDougall!

1 Cancer
2 Osteoporosis
3 Atherosclerosis (Next week's webinar topic)
