I am saddened by how many doctors think tapering off a medication like valium or pregabalin or any similar type of drug can be done safely in a two week period.
Anticholinergics and their link to dementia would be an interesting video. 👍 Thanks.
My mum (92) was on three of these. My mum was often sleepy and frequently dehydrated. Mum thought it was due to a morphine patch that she wore. It was the lowest strength.
Mum passed away in June 2021. Sadly, she wasn't treated. My GP requested 3 covid tests, all of which were negative. GP, after her death, said that they were not allowed to visit her!! All they were interested in was getting a dnr in place. Thank you for highlighting this. Making people aware.
What's dnr?@@helenstewart3417
One you forgot is OMNEPRAZOL
I feel like a slacker. Almost 66 years old and I don't take a single prescription drug.
You’re lying.
No your just smart, eating the right foods is medicine. You are your own doctor!
I’m 62 and I do not take any prescriptions either.
Same here.
Same here
Over 70, no doctor, no medications. Unprocessed, fresh food, yoga, weights and exercise. Living in nature. No drama. No problem.
But when it’s time, it’s time.
Cheers Doc 👍
From the sound of it, your time won’t be for a while yet
Good dna and lucky. I know people that smoked 70 yrs, 2 packs a day and lived to 93 and 96. No cough either.
@@porridge57 Who knows ?
Moment to moment but it’s all good.
@@catsamazing338 True
Same, except not yoga!
One word to describe
Dr. Suneel:
Humanitarian!
Didn't learn a darn thing from the last 3 years have you? Keep funding the next planneddemic I guess.
Phenomenal FJB
100%
Hypocrites of ancient Greece would be proud of him.
One word to describe Big Pharma: nefarious.
Another problem is that a doctor prescribes a medication for a particular problem but never takes the patient off!
Yes! I have some digestive issues and my doctor told me I'd have to take Omaprazole from now on. He said he takes it everyday. No way I'm going to do that.
Ha!! Of course not. I got badly hurt in 2016, woke up 5 hours later in the ER. Doc put me on antidepressant. I kept arguing, this doesn't even make sense. I'm not depressed. I did it anyway, trusting them. Then learned antidepressants are contraindicated for head injuries, and took myself off. Ooooooo, she became angry. Kept swearing up and down I was too hyper and needed something to calm down. It never even had ANY effect, and I just thought she was weird. And energetic is my personality.
@@KWMc1952 Take for 2 weeks then stop! See if things have improved!
Sometimes you need to take yourself off a drug; I did it with a few and my health improved in various ways and also lost 12 to 15 pounds of extra weigh!
I had a routine bloodtest and showed my colestrol was slightly up I had a call from the nurse practitioner after she told why she called I told her I was not going on statins she said OK well its not worryingly up so we will see how it is at your next blood test! Do they get paid for putting people on statins makes one wonder !
I am 61 and have had 3 of those prescribed to me in the last 5 years. I take nothing except D3+K2, Zn, Mg, B-1, B-12 and cod liver oil now. I'm of the opinion 95% of prescribed medicine does more harm than good but I'm not a doctor so who knows. Again, thank you Dr. Dhand, your a treasure.
Most doctors don't know except to prescribe (sell you) drugs.
Wise supplements you have chosen there 👌
Make sue you are getting enough copper to go with the zinc because other wise you may end up with copper deficiency. Remember lots of people during the covid debacle were taking extra zinc and then thinking they had the virus because they lost taste and smell? Likely cause was copper deficiency. Nutritional yeast is a cheap alternative to vitamin B supplements as it contains most of the B vits plus minerals including zinc. Plus protein and fibre.
May wish to consider high dose of liposomal vitamin C twice daily, too. Any mood issues- Mood probiotic.
Agree as prescribed meds have made me so I’ll and weaning myself off them

Am 70 and nil meds from birth. I thank our heavenly father and my mum for my health. We were poor so doctors visits were not possible so not exposed to meds. God bless.
Being poor can be a great blessing.
Same here .I'm 68 years young and I grew up very poor and I've seen over the year that I was nearly always in better health than my co workers .I'm still on no medication and going strong. I thank God every day for my health, I know he answers prayers, I will keep trusting him no matter what
I never knew we were poor, when growing up... but my mom always cooked everything from scratch & got no sodas for us, except on Sundays! 😂
😅
Same here. Good Peasant stock!
Dr. Dhand,
As someone with a mother who is 86, I really appreciate you making this cautionary video. So many medical complications she has experienced over the past decade have been the result of adverse reactions to medications that were introduced to her by her physicians. In popular media discussions about medicine, the degree to which medical error is a cause or contributing factor in worsening someone's condition or leading to someone's death is not discussed much.
At this point, it’s an intentional cause, so I’d be extra weary than you may have been in the past
61 no meds , dont go to doctors , take vitamins , no stress ,drink filtered water , do breathing exercises every day (sometimes Wim Hoff method) , get out in the sun , and the most important thing , have faith in my creator
I'm sharing your videos with everyone I know. I do hope they think about what you say, some people are so brainwashed, it's sad
@@soonendsims921a Canadian told me recently Trudeau is banning vitamins & supplements. Idk how, but they were very serious.
It's the third leading cause of death.
I'm 79 and my only medication is a 5 mile walk every day.
I'm convinced that walking is the key to better & longer health.
That’s good.
My 75 year old friend had a very active lifestyle . It didn’t prevent her from having cancer though.
Excellent😊
Wish I could keep it up
Must be nice to have the time. I'm nearly 78 and I spend half my time fixing things, taking the wife or daughter somewhere or chasing tossers at internet companies who drag their feet over refunds. Bet you live in a council house?
Best meds: Exercise, healthy whole food, sunshine, socializing, faith in God.
Yep. I was taught at 20, by a pastors wife. She was from Norway. They also taught me how to stay out of debt.
Which God ? there are thousands.
Not with CFS or Long Covid. Exercise aggravates these illnesses (single illness ?)
Faith in God is BS for health. STOP IT.
People make a lot of "gods" but there's only 1 true God,. He created the world, He lives, no statues, no lies, no hoops to jump. He knows us to the very tiniest atomic part of our bodies, and every thought and intent of our hearts. We sin, He paid the price so that we may be forgiven.... @@WyreForestBiker
I am 68 and I just returned from my yearly wellness check. I have had neuropathy in both legs (nope, not caused by Diabetes) for well over 15 years that has been getting just a tad worse as far as the tingling goes but not actual pain. I am always mindful of each step I take because I can be unsteady if not careful. Today my PC suggested Gabapentin and I asked what it was for. She told me nerve pain and that, since I am not on any other prescriptions, she would be happy to order it for me. I explained that I am sure it has side effects because most drugs do and she confirmed that it does although she didn't say what they were. I told her I would pass. I was told that my PC has very few patients that aren't on any medication. My blood pressure was 124/68 and my blood panel came back "fabulous" per my PC. I have lost 45 pounds over the past 7 months of being on Keto while following Dr. Eric Westman's stage 1 plan. Although I do have more weight to lose I have never felt better so I am thankful for that. How timely this info is and I so appreciate all that you do and share.
I think Gabapentin is meant to help with the pain. It does nothing to restore nerve damage. It also makes one live in brain fog, with suicidal thoughts. I refuse to take it. I'll take the pain.
My sister was on gabapentin for non diabetic neuropathy also. It caused her a lot of problems and she had to gradually get off it.
Keep on doing what you feel is right. It appears you are on a good roll.
You need Ketovore. Lots and lots of fatty red meat.
Another side effect that I’ve heard is aggressive behavior and nasty mood with people that take it.
Thank you so munch. I’m 85 and was on blood pressure. I change my diet , weight and I’m off all medications. I broke my femur bone 24 yrs ago. I don’t have any pain. I just have a walking problem. I love Jesus 14 years
Why did it break?
Thank you so munch 😂

@@frv6610 Bad diet!
I've been a nurse for 28 yrs mainly in the ED started off on orthopedics...I saw the number of meds these people were on and realized how much it affected their daily lives resulting in many falls with fractured hips limbs and head injures what amazes me the most is their inability to give reason for being on those meds stating "my doctor told me to" very sad granted they may have not understood but doctors and nurses need to explain until they understand and if not maybe the med isn't necessary...thanks Dr Dhand
Many surgeries too. I was in a fatal car accident in 2012 that left me with back and neck injuries. Doctors wanted me to have a costly (and risky) spinal fusion surgery. I declined at did PT, got a posture corrector and learned to walk differently. I have no back pain today, and take no pain medications!
My mother was an RN with great faith in conventional medicine including pharmaceuticals. I watch her decline painfully over many decades until she passed at the age of 84. She was on all of those and more at various times in her journey. Side effects would indicate another drug was needed and on and on it went. I am unbelievably angry at our sick care establishment for putting profit ahead of living full and vibrant lives! What a betrayal!
My doctor prescribed medicines for me without one word of explanation, however, thanks to the internet and U tube I can get the information I need. You might guess I'm in the market for a different doctor. But when I ask my friends why they are taking certain meds, all I ever hear is, my dr prescribed them......that's simply not enough.
Sadly there are patients who think that if they stop taking their prescribed medication they'll die. Not always true
Unbelievable! How does a person make an extremely important decision.. With absolutely zero knowledge?😱💩
My father was 94 and well . He had a known lower abdominal aneurysm for several years and a history of stomach bleeds.
A new Doctor advised him to take aspirin to thin his blood .
He died three days later due to the aneurysm bleeding out.
Many Doctors are incompetent and think that the more pills they can prescribe the better.
You mean the better for their bank accounts. That compromised quack had a hand in the death of your father. Don't let it ride.
I’m very sorry for your loss.
@@beverlypearson5332 Thank you so much.
So sad! A doctor killed my dad also by prescribing Coumadin and not monitoring it properly.
@@bornwin-sx9oz Sad for you and your Dad too.
I’m 52 and a holistic nutritionist and my husband a pharmacist is 55.. we take zero prescription meds, zero over the counters, and zero vaccines. We dont even have a doctor and our son has never been to a pediatrician or had any meds or vaccines..we have superb health. We’d rather pay our farmer
You walk on water
😂😂😂
Zero vaccinations?
WOW,interesting 🤔
My family has made the exact same choices for the last 20 years. No regrets.
Thank you! I have warned family and friends about overuse of Benadryl for years, so glad to see a professional reiterate this.
The FAA warns pilots about it often. It is a pilot killer!
I'm glad that you can warn family. I finally gave up on family because they don't look like they value anything from me. If they are interested, they can go online.
But, I let friends know.

Fasting is the best way to avoid becoming a polypharma victim! Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting.
Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin..
Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time.
Fasting increases nitric oxide release.
Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors.
Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body.
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system.
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job.
Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue!
The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness.
The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.
Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil.
Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!
Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting.
Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells
Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention!
Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Yep, 76hr fast fixed my radial nerve damage. Couldn't use my computer for extended time without very hot and painful hand/fingers for years.
Edit; this comment has lots of bot replies for some reason
Thank you for your comment. I have fasting intermittently for over two years but I really want to start regular extended fasts.
stop
I have found surprising benefits and hope you do, as well!@@kyrieeleison1905
I had sciatica all the time before I started fasting and was surprised when it just stopped one day. Incredibly annoying stuff!@@jackoverton8343
Dr Suneel have you got tons of identical copies of yourself? The world needs more Doctors like you!
My gran moved from Kent taking a tea tray of drugs. She was demented. The care home in Norfolk took her off everything gradually. Her marbles returned. One drug caused symptoms another drug given for those and so on. We all lost ten years with her because of the doctors love of kickbacks from pharm. NHS the clap they need is an STD
It's not just the NHS it's doctors in general. In private practice they rely on the kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies even more.
Dr Dhand has my vote for Surgeon General! I so wish he would be!
Thank you for raising this topic. I was concerned about my parents and medications. But now that I am older, I refuse medications. My CancerCare team said 'good for you for not being on any meds.' And they advised me to go as long as possible to avoid treatment. As did my doctor. My goal.
Just eat meat (only)
There's someone advising eating just meat, but I do not know.
Cancer team? Please, ask all the health food stores about natural products, like Essiac. Also, make a good online research. I know sugar & carbs are bad!
@@ewawyso2052 NO. We are not carnivore. Look at our jaw, teeth, and digestive tract.
@@Luna_and_Miles I did.
A neurologist tried to give me Gabapentin for nerve pain about 10 years ago and I refused. Tried it once in the past out of curiosity. It's a GABA analogue like GHB (which from experience I know can have terrible withdrawal after prolonged use), so I was put off using it. Now recent reports show it can have a very strong withdrawal syndrome on discontinuation. The neurologist said it had no addiction potential, for which I argued it could have, but he would not have it. They just parrot the pharma rhetoric each time with every new drug.
My quack of a doctor prescribed it to me too. High dose to start...I came home and read all the paperwork that pharmacist gave me with it. All 7 pages of it. I refused to take it after that. I don't need to live in La La land, dopy, loopy, with suicidal thoughts. I'd rather live in pain. Pain tells me how far I can push it.
They also prescribe it for shingles.
Yes I was offered an open script of it and told opiates we’re dangerous and addictive, glad I never took it and went to medical cannabis
Yes...they prescribe it for all the things they can't diagnose...
Acupuncture healed my sciatica - no more Motrin needed,
Hi. No meds. 68 yrs blessed. Beautiful garden, plenty studies about the body, music, history, nature. I bike most days and take care of my pets. Choose life. Get outside. Thank you Dr. Dhand. You are the King of Hearts.
I have a big back garden and I'm looking forward to spending more time in it when I retire in a few years' time.
My grandfather who would always say "everything in moderation" lived to 97 years old and the only medicine he was taking was a baby aspirin.
I was prescribed Gabapentin after a ruptured disc. I tried it for a week and my side effect was risk-taking behavior- driving 80 mph, etc. I stopped taking it right away. My disc resolved itself when I tripped and fell backwards on my tailbone. 😊
That's quite a tail, tale.
Self-chiropractic care?
*Years ago in CANADA l lined up behind several seniors waiting to pick up a prescription.* One by one, they picked up their paper SHOPPING BAG of MEDS. I was shocked. Now that I'm a senior my doctor retired and my new one put me on Metformin. It seemed every time l came in he raised it. I said, "my stats were the same" but he said, "you know, the overall picture..." Turns out, in Canada doctors can accept gratuities from Pharma Companies for prescribing their meds. It explained a lot.
Same in the USA.
You are absolutely correct in all you say. I wish you were my personal Doctor. I’m 79 yrs. old and several months ago injured my lumbar discs by lifting my 87 yr old brother’s 4wheel mobility scooter into the back of his truck without the use of a ramp. I later learned via an MRI all my lumbar discs are severely bulged, plus multiple other damage. My Dr. Put me on gabapentin . The side effects were exactly as you described. I also retained water in my entire body...went from 201 lbs. to 219 lbs. in a very short time. When I couldn’t stand it anymore and my Dr. wasn’t helping, I slowly weaned myself off the pills. Until this injury I wasn’t on any meds. Years ago I tried CBD cannabis oil capsules for shoulder pain neither therapy or laser could help and in a matter of weeks I was better and quit the CBD. But now I’m taking the capsules every once in a while to help me sleep at night until I can get back surgery which may be up to 2 years here in Canada. Thank you so much for your honest and forthright help!
I’m over 65 and have had Fibromyalgia for years. When I consulted my GP last year about pain relief he offered Gabapentin and I said no thank you. He asked why and I told him that I belong to a Fibro group and many of the people there said it caused extreme drowsiness and lethargy. Fibro sufferers are already like that a lot of the time as these are symptoms of Fibro, so it just makes things worse. His answer was that’s all he’s offering, which basically meant take it or leave it. Many of the people in the group told the same story. GP’s in the UK don’t give a fig about patients, only what is the cheapest drug to prescribe, so it doesn’t make too much of a dent in their budget, so they can pocket the rest. 😡
Get your group to read that book by John W Armstrong.
Oh, but Bernie Sanders crows that socialized medicine is free! What can go wrong when the government is involved? Politicians want to balance the budget by suppressing medicines and medical procedures from old people. People dying early saves funds, the funds politicians want for themselves, to live like oligarchs. Throw them all out!
Yes, can't prescribe pain meds, so shove you on useless alternatives.
@@TheMazinoz WON’T prescribe pain meds. They could if they wanted to. I was on Tramadol years ago, but was taken off it because ‘some people’ were getting addicted. I only take pain meds when I absolutely need them, I’m not a big fan of taking any medication tbh.
@@harpersmythe658 Yes, same here. Chronic pain since 23 yrs old. Treated like junkie for asking for things once OTC. Pain IS part of Ehlers Danlos Hypermobility type! Realised some will now prescribe but previous GP boasted about being CBD provider but wouldn't prescribe it for me though it is suggested for HEDS pain.
I have chronic back pain and was prescribed amitriptyline and was on it for three years but when I turned 65 in June the surgery pharmacist contacted me to say they need to stop it because it could lead to falls. I agreed and then found out I actually didn't need it I was perfectly fine without it. Thank goodness for vigilant pharmacists.
I couldn’t take the amitriptyline ,had dry mouth, mood swings, etc….I asked my doctor to change it, got gabapentin and it helps me a lot with my neurological pain, I got a little bit drowsy and cup of coffee is solving the issue…no other symptoms
Works for me

An MD with a heart of gold. The honor goes to Dr. Suneel Dhand. Thank you.
Local docs often criticize "UA-cam doctors", but I believe that's often due to their own insecurity. IMHO Dr. Dhand is one of the best, and we are Blessed to have his virtual presence.

My father in law took ibuprofen while he was taking Coumadin. It completely gave him a gastrointestinal bleed. He passed away after arriving at providence hospital here in Medford. He sat in the ED overnight, bleeding. By noon they FINALLY got him an ER room- after testing him for c19, of course. Then they put him in the ER with a curtain. No privacy. He received blood (jabbed blood) and then had a massive heart attack…..
This was 2022.

Dear Dr Dhand, you never cease to amaze not just myself but also other followers. It is becoming even clearer how we should be on the look out what we ‘stream down out tummy’. Thank you very much!
I just subscribed to your channel. A year and a half ago my my psychiatrist raised my Wellbutrin from 300mg to 450mg. I told her I had never been on a dose that high and she said it easier to raise medications than to change them. I started having stomach problems. I asked her at one point if it had to do with the Wellbutrin and she said I had been on it long enough that this wouldn’t happen. This went on for a year and a half. I had test after test on my stomach and everything was negative. Long story short I had a friend recommend a different psychiatrist and the first time I saw her she confirmed I was on way too much medication. I had left the first doctor over a year before this was confirmed. Within 5 months prior to seeing my new doctor, I had horrible stomach pain, nausea and vomiting. Tests showed nothing. I had lost twenty pounds in that time frame because very little stayed down. My new doctor drastically reduced my medications and within 3 days the vomiting and stomach pain vanished. I really hate that doctor!!!!!
Some commonly prescribed medications can have adverse side effects, especially for the elderly. My Dad started to have hallucinations and worried something was wrong with his brain or sanity. I took him to a different and trusted MD, and he instantly said it was due to a medication designed to help him sleep. He prescribed a different medication, and like magic, the hallucinations went away. Thanks for bringing up these subjects, and helping make others aware of scrutinizing all pills/injections put into ones bodies.
Can I ask what the new medication was? I'm on a sleep med and worried about it and would like to consider something safer.
That same thing happened to a dear 98 year old neighbor! Good thing, she has a daughter nurse!
@@TK.000 You may want to discover/observe the cause of your insomnia, then you will need nothing! I suffered from it for years, until I found all/many causes, in my case. Take a look:
Late/heavy dinner (it takes up to four hours digesting the food). Stress. Conflictive family. Some trapped gas. A little more sugar that one can manage-if pre-diabetic.
@@TK.000 My best friend, now diseased, was on some sleep meds. All I know is that some may cause addiction. It would help doing some research. Good luck!
Look if the Doctor of this video, Dr Daniel Amen, Dr. Pelmutter, and Dr. Berg have videos about this! Good luck! ❤
@@ladyofhay Thank you!
Wow. Thank you! I am 70, and I became dehydrated a year of two ago. Was sent to ER for IV infusion. I had been on HCTZ. I moved to CT. two years ago, and had to find new MD's. My new Dr took me off. I never knew. Also, I have RA, and after 30 years being on Methotrexate, I suddenly had hair loss. Stopped, and had been without immuno. drugs since last Oct. Got Uveitis, in both eyes, Ophtho. put me on a weeks worth of Ansaid!!! 600mg a day!!!! I only took for one week. I am my own advocate when it comes to my health. You hit the nail on the head for me. Thank you!
No (chemical) medicine at all. I am 67 and my shape is better than ever, for now I have time on a daily basis to exercise. I cycle long distances, swim long distances (up to 4 km) and go hiking and when possible traveling. My food is the best medicine and my medicine is the best food. Further, despite my life challenges, I try to keep a positive and cheerful mind. Meditating-praying with gratefulness is also a part of my daily life.
Dr. Dhand, keep up doing the good work!
Was surprised statins and PPIs were not on the list.
Blood pressure, he mentioned it as no 1 and it’s a statin.
BP medication is not a statin.

My 82 year old stepmom isn’t on any medications. She only started wearing reading glasses 15 years ago, has no dental issues, works out on a trampoline daily, does yoga and a sauna daily, plus walks in nature. Cooks her own meals from scratch and rarely eats processed foods. The right lifestyle adds life to your years!
Wonder woman
Being able to afford to live lihe that does most.
HI Dr Suneel. I live in New Zealand and am 88. I do not take any medication nor do I visit a doctor.. I believe in Natural herbs and exercise. my blood pressure is 120/70 and I am healthy. Thank you for this information.
I’m 64 and I bet my doctor would love me to be on at least four meds, but I’m on no meds and I’m keeping it that way!
I haven’t seen a doctor for over six years and I plan to hopefully keep it that way too!
Most people I know are on an antidepressants, statins, high blood pressure, tablets, oh and one for the stomach, Meprazole, because all those tablets must affect the stomach
No doctors for me in 8 years and hopefully never. Went back to a holistic health school at 60 and organic exercise supplements and meditation. Went to rehab for wine addiction at 59 am 71 now and extremely suspicious of modern medicine. So I’ll take my chances.
Whatever you do or dont.. It results in the same outcome. Treat each day as your last . Because one day it will be.
I am 72 doctor, and I was on a statin for quite a while, but I stopped a year ago, and just replaced it with Niacin. Only other medication I take is Clopidogrel, so I can’t complain. A lot of walking and swimming, keeping me healthy.
It's good to see a doctor who has reservations about some medicines.
I am 65, was on indapamide for 20 years and about 6 months ago I was getting dizzy when standing up, my blood pressure had gone down without me knowing. I stopped taking it. Was on no other meds. I had swollen ankles, aches and pains including plantar fasicitis and overweight. About month ago changed my diet to keto diet. All aches gone including plantar fasicitis and importantly ankles no longer swollen. Lost 1.5 stone in that time but the best I feel 20 years younger. Lots of energy, those carbs and processed foods were killing me
Please eat fruit and vegs
Same here. My wife and I start keto 5 months ago and we generally feel much better overall.. lots of veggies and proteins.
Don’t forget word finding problems and short term memory problems with gabapentin. I have seen pseudodementia frequently when Benadryl (25 h half-life) used routinely for sleep in elderly because docs avoid actually addressing good sleep hygiene and using much safer very short acting hypnotics like sonata (zaleplon) or Ambien (zolpidem) on a prn basis. Cyclobenzaprine is highly anticholinergic…means acetylcholine blocking. Acetylcholine is what’s in short supply in many types of dementia. I’m a neuropsychiatrist and deal with these issues frequently. Good job DrDhand
Have a lovely cup of mint tea on me🎉
AhHA! Thank you…I now have the motivation to weaning down gab. dose. My word recall is horrible. A container made from any material, for any use has simply become a “ bucket”.
Dr dhand I’m near 68yrs old. I’m on no meds . I choose what vitamins I want to take. That’s it . But I enjoy your vids bec. It makes good sense . I even avoid tabs. For pain fever and headaches that goes away on its own.
They put me on bp meds when I turned 65. Four different meds. Side effects were unbearable. Losartan was the worst. I quit them all. Lost 25 lbs. Changed my diet. Developed a fasting regimen. Going strong at 71. Trusting my Lord till the end!
Please note that a patient’s size makes a difference as well. I am 4’11”. One of my sons is 6’1”. The doctor was prescribing the same dosage of a medication for both of us!! I am a physical organic chemist, but common sense should alert anyone to the dangers in such a move. Yes, I called him on it. Thank you for your warning!
I am borderline underweight & always have to remind Dr.s to half the dose of my medication. Shouldn't they KNOW that?
As a pharmacist I agree with the listed drugs. The big category you missed was benzodiazepines. Balance and fall risk are major issues.
Not to mention that they are addictive within a week!
And the nightmare of withdrawal 😣 its horrifying
My neighbor has been taking Eliquis and a 81 mg aspirin pill for awhile. She had a stent put in a week ago and the cardiologist added Brilinta another blood thinner. The pharmacist ask her daughter are you sure you heard the doctor correctly because he has never seen these two blood thinners used together. Even her primary care doctor called because he was concerned too. I think it is very dangerous to be on two blood thinners and aspirin. Brilinta is causing her to have breathing issues…she looks like she is in distress when I was at her house yesterday. She was having shortness of breath like something pressing on her chest. I don’t know what that medication is doing to her but it can’t be good.
Yes, very true.
BUT a person can be so taumatized and cannot live without them.
Sometimes they are needed. Sad true.
You are amazing in getting the message of healing out. Thank you! I am 65, reversed t2d and off ALL meds 2 yrs ago! ❤
My mother is 84 and takes no medication. The doctors tried to get her to take a blood thinner 10 yrs ago. She manages just fine without.
My goal was to get off all medication, slowly but surely I have reduced my meds to zero. Get the diet right and it’s amazing how the health improves. 😊😊
People born before the 60's are less likely to use perscription medications as they were lucky have been born prior to the high use of chemicals in food production.
More like the 1970s..with chemicals
It was 1975, when they put corn syrup in most sodas
You can easily find diphenhydramine labeled as two different things halfway down the aisle from each other: allergy pills, and sleeping pills. This was actually my very first red flag like 10 years ago that pharmaceuticals were not to be taken at face value
Please do more episodes like these. I feel they are very needed. Maybe one on drug interactions as well?
Thanks so much for this information!! I am in that age group and appreciate knowing this!
I’m a retired 75 yo MD.Generally what he’s saying is accurate but when you are on any medication pay attention to how you feel.Any drug can be harmful even in therapeutic doses,but it’s your life ,tell your physician don’t just take the damn drugs.😮
My neighbor who was already taking Eliquis and aspirin 81 mg had a stent put in a week ago and the Cardiologist added Brilinta…another blood thinner. The pharmacist ask her daughter are you sure you heard the doctor right because I have never seen these two blood thinners used together. She called the cardiologist’s office the next day and it was right. Her primary care doctor called her because he was concerned too. He has never seen these two blood thinners prescribe together either. The Brilinta blood thinner is causing her to have breathing issues…she looks like she is in distress…chest is hurting. I just don’t think it is safe to be taking two blood thinners and aspirin…I am really scared for her.
@@madisonc2410 If she stops one of them her clotting issues will abate and hopefully the breathing difficulties will reverse.Don’t take it lightly,at our age it doesn’t take much to push you over the edge.
I'm 74 and have been on HCTZ for 18 years. My kidneys are borderline, but my doctor never said anything about effects on kidneys. I'd like to find an alternative. My blood pressure is controlled (and sometimes dips low), and I'd like to get off anything that isn't necessary. Thanks for the post.
I have been on HCTZ for four years. Although my physicians never mentioned anything to me, I just happened to notice that my renal function was deteriorating from a filtration rate of 78 which was normal down to 59 and then to 54. The nurse practitioner at the cardiologists office is blocking me from having a conversation with my cardiologist about this. Needless to say these pills are going to go by the wayside. Hopefully the other two medication’s. I am on. Will keep my blood pressure acceptable. Also know that in Europe 140/90 is the upper limit of normal or as in the United States, they don’t even want you to get to 130/80.
Great info for people to know. I've had issues with several of those drugs when I was much younger than 65.
I am 79years no prescription medication at all
Good for you!!!! Taking charge of your own body!!
So what you just been very lucky lots haven’t been
I'm on HTCZ and was just thinking yesterday that I would like to stop taking this and here you are with this video! I think it's causing my hip and leg pain. I'm going to talk to my doctor about stopping it when I see her in October.
Same here. I was living in Ecuador and was prescribed HTCZ due to the 9,000’ high elevation. Six years later, in California at sea level, should I quit taking this medication?
If you want to quit first lower your sodium , because as soon as quit blood pressure will rise and body will retain water . If on high dose taper off slowly while no sodium diet and for 4 weeks monitor blood pressure , find alternate to lower blood pressure like walk in sun , no sodium , deep breath exercise , rest , eat less carb , more potassium rich food like tomato , potato , banana . Eat magnesium rich food like almonds and spinach which relax the arteries . Alternative take 2.5 mg amlodopin if Bp rises . I am not doctor . Do your own search
@@mnayak9348 Thank you for this information and caring. 🙏🏼
I was on that med. I had muscle contraction in my calf constantly. My potassium was depleted. I stopped it myself. I'm no Dr I'm just telling you what happened to me. So get your own advice. Good luck!
THANK YOU MY FRIND . I AM ON SOME OF THEM MEDICAL TREATMENTS. AND WILL NOW DISCUSS WITH MY DOCTOR. I HAVE GIVEN UP THE ANTI DEPRESSANTS ARFTER FINDING OUT THSY DID NOTHING. AT ALL . AND YOU ARE RIGHT IM ON A LOT OF MEDICAL MEDS THAT MAKE ME TIRED. I HAVE SPENT HARF MY LIFE ASLEEP . NO WONDER WHY . AGAIN IF YOU SEE THIS I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HART . ⚘⚘⚘⚘
Ret. R N here THANK YOU for this video‼️
There is a great need for this info. especially now with the common lack of continuity in health care.
One of my relatives developed a twitching of her head - like Katherine Hepburn exhibited. She was on a whole mess of meds. One day she just decided to stop all. Surprise, the head twitching stopped! She never went back on those meds. Lived to a ripe old age. I’m sure she needed one or two new meds later on, but not the ridiculous amount she had been taking. Over-prescribing is a real problem.
Thank you doc just found your channel so happy ,bless you,im 61 and don't take medication, plants for healing ,and i swim long distance 6 days a week for 1hour plus have my gym ,it helps when you live on a island 😂❤shalom
Well Done!!! A doctor who wants to reduce pharmaceuticals in people rather than stuff them full of them!
A very interesting video. Mobic was prescribed to me seven years ago and after being on them for nine days life as l knew it was ruined. I became highly sensitive to sulphites for the rest of my life. The symptom was itchy skin, and l don’t just mean itchy, but burning and all over my body. Imagine having chicken pox for the rest of your life, a nightmare. The only parts of me that didn’t itch were me hands feet and face. Seven years on l still have to read labels and avoid sulphites and they are found in 78% of all foods in a supermarket including deli foods, fruit, veg, tinned and frozen food. The worst part of this story was my doctor telling me it wasn’t the Mobic and must have been something else l ate at the same time. Trust me, it was Mobic. I only itch now if there’s a product that did not indicate it had sulphites in them. This includes wine to 😢.
He is so good and informative..would love him as my doctor!!
I was on all 5 and thankfully I have been able to get off of them all. Thank you for making this video!
Thank you, Dr. I'm 70. I'd shingles on my face then eye 7 years ago next month and have continued pain, fatigue, weakness etc. I refused to take the meds advised at the outset. Gabapentin etc. So glad I did. 7 years of meds would have been catastrophic.
I was treated by an excellent eye specialist for the first 3 months. 🎉
DR Suneel enjoy immensely your work. 68 yrs. and I thank the: Lord I take one med. Primidone for tremors. 25mg They never fully prepare for the aging process. Thankful for each day! FJB
NO MEDS is the best alternative. Our own bodies know what to do when necessary! 👍
Osteopath for 28 years, used to rarely see anyone on gabapentin,pregabalin....common now,loads of side effects 🙄, ssri,nsaids and good old statins dire stuff
Excellent doctor
Thank you Doctor. I'm on 3 of the 5. Neuropathy seems to be the fight of my life
Fasting and phototherapy can help a great deal with neuropathy. Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting.
Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin..
Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time.
Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors.
Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body.
Reflexes and short term memory are increased.
Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system.
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job.
Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue!
The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese
The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.
Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil.
Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!
Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting.
Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells
Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention!
Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.
Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

My channel will always contain an updated version of this list of fasting benefits on the community tab. I also have playlists on fasting and health topics.
The struggle is real but I refuse to take gabapentin for my neuropathy and since I did my doctor seems to have little empathy… 😢
St Johnswort helps with the myelin sheath on nerves. That may be useful and worth considering.
Fasting !!!
How does it help with that? I thought all it did was help with pain by messing with your brain. Once the myelin sheath is gone and nerve damage present, nothing will restore it. @@karenellis2098
40 + yrs as a nurse. Most meds do more harm but many ppl will do as their doc says. My husband and I are in our 70s and take no meds; supplements only. Eat somewhat healthy and exercise. We're healthier than most 50 yr olds we know.
Thank you Dr Dhand! I'm not taking any meds. I'd rather "make my food my medicine, and my medicine my food"! I'm nearing 70, and been a dancer all my life....I exercise, and try to follow Keto/IF according to Dr Berg. I'll never be a Purist, tho! I do my best. That's it. And, I am a Christian, so I belong to the Lord....I take the best care I can of the body He made and gave to me....and when He calls me Home, I'm ready.
It's pretty simple. I think I am an addict, tho....I may be addicted to dancing! It's just way too fun! 😅
Love to all, and Shalom! 💜🕊💜🎶💃🎶✡️✝️🎶💃🎶💜🕊💜
In my opinion, health care has become a business first and health last.... and they want you in their machine, take meds, then more different meds for the harm they cause.
I am 83 and on 2 prescription meds: Hydrochlorothiazide and an experimental drug, Myleran, for my blood disease. In the hospital an ER doc took me off the HCZL without talking to me, assuming it was for hypertension. But it was prescribed by my specialist ENT for Meniere’s disease.

A person who is 65 or over could have problems metabolizing medication because of the state of their liver and kidneys. Statistics show that Many young adults have LIVER PROBLEMS due to drinking alcohol or eating massive amounts of carbohydrates which also affects the liver. Take care of your liver.
Okay Dr.! You REALLY made me nervous with this one! Referencing the use Neurontin... I've been taking Neurontin for literally, half my life. Since around age 25. I'm 50. I happen to be one of those folks who experience SIGNIFICANT withdrawal from this medication on the VERY rare occasions that I've run out. I've tried to come off of it several times. NOTHING DOING! So when you named Neurontin as one of these medications, I was bracing myself for some God awful thing that Neurontin does to people. THEN, you said, "It can make you sleepy." REALLY DOC? SLEEPY? Well, I'll just go ahead and digress and just say THANK GOD that's ALL it was about! Sheesh man! Sorry buddy. It's just that for a moment, I thought I was in SERIOUS trouble here, ya know? Okay. All is well that ends well.
outstanding. Many thanks. Am looking forward to all your videos. I am a retired LPN. Always on the lookout to help others. Sandy Rinaldi, Arkansas, US Army veteran 1971 to 1974, 17 AUG 23
Thank you for watching Sandy. And thank you for your service!
At 67 and on zero meds. Living in the woods, hiking and biking with dogs, on keto/carnivore diet (80-90%meat).
Hooray! I’m mid 70’s w/ me plus family history of “rotten gut,” with surgeries, I’ve got gastric reflux & hbp which is well controlled. I’m not on any of these Rx’s or any with similar adverse mechanisms. I’ve got pretty darn good doctors!!! And they disagree with my arguments against “the jab,” but that’s reportedly changing daily all over in Dr offices.
I wish you had stressed how bad Benadryl and other anticholinergics are for the older brain. They are considered contributors to cognitive issues- even dementia. Many older people take OTC meds for sleep that contain diphenhydramine. My mother was one of them and I believe it contributed to her dementia. I’d like a whole video on the other drugs with this effect. There is a long list of them. I’m 65 and avoid them like the plague.
Thank you so much for creating this video ! I am sharing it with older family members so they can be informed and discuss this with their PCP s . God Bless you !
Ok, great ideas but then suggest someway to control arthritic pain, neuropathy and general pain. Until the medical community can help keep people mobile with these long term degenerative diseases by offering something else then it is not realistic to suggest people give up pain control. As a RN in long term care the biggest concern residents and families have is pain management...... so find solutions that work.
I'm a 65 years young , unjabbed Englishman , and thankfully I'm on zero medications .
I came off Sertraline anti-depressants , at the beginning of 2020.
Since then , I've been taking certain vitamins and minerals , for my immune system.
I do suffer from tiredness though .
I think that's a combination of lifestyle factors , that I've tried to correct....not easy 🧐
your videos are always very informative and straight to the point. I appreciate your medical knowledge and your honest concern for peoples health. thank you for keeping us informed and educating us. looking forward to your next video
My 76 yr. old sister takes a sleeping aid called "Sleep II" that she says is the only product that helps calm her, enabling her to sleep at night. It's hard to find sometimes and when I looked at the ingredients I realized it is mostly just diphenhydramine / Benadryl. When I told her that and suggested she try something else she got angry at me. I'm a retired RN but she ignores most suggestions I have made that would help her cope with her medical issues. She does have some confusion which could be from the overuse of diphenhydramine. Thank you for this informative video.
Thank you for taking time to keep us informed....how can we ever thank you for such professional instruction.
God bless you🙏

I am 70 years old man and I don't take any tablets or medication. I love Ayurveda treatments, I do oil pulling, eat beats, and so much more. ❤
71 here and I also follow Ayurveda principles for health and dis-ease prevention. 5000+ years of tried and tested medical knowledge.
I am 73 years old and not taking any medications or even supplements after fighting for my life due to horrific withdrawal symptoms from taking anti anxiety and antidepressants drugs for 33 days and stopping them cold turkey. It’s been over six years and still not fully healed but it’s getting better compared to the 1st through 5th years of suffering from intense withdrawal symptoms. I completely lost trust to our medical system.
Those meds are horrible esp to come off of... Its been over ten years for me. i still have residual affects. Truly evil stuff. Best to you 🌺🙏✨
Why would you stop cold turkey? Every anti-anxiety and anti-depressant says not to stop cold turkey. The gradual weaning allows your body to stabilize, and the withdrawal symptoms are very minimal if they are at all. Very important to wean off of these things. I don’t know why your doctor let you do that.
Glad you took matters into your own hands. Sounds like you're on a good path:-)
@@connielilly1199 .. I stopped cold turkey out of ignorance . My doctor (no longer my doctor) didn’t give me any information about the drugs which she should’ve under “ informed consent”. I’m not totally blaming her. It’s partly my fault since I didn’t do any research about the drug’s side effects, adverse reactions, how to safely get off them, etc., before I ingested them. I had to suffer horrific withdrawal symptoms because of not educating myself about the drugs and how to safely get off them.
67 yrs also and take nothing except vitamin D. If i hve to do an urgent care visit for something minor .. they are always surprised when i say I'm on no medication.
I stopped taking all of mine. High Blood Pressure Meds, Asthma Meds and feel Human again
I have rheumatoid arthritis for 50 years and there aren’t many safe choices for pain relief. It’s a daily struggle and in my area it’s hard to find a proactive rheumatologist 😢
Thank you Doctor. I love how direct and clear you teach. Thank you
SUCH AN AMAZING MAN. YOU CAN FEEL HIS COMPASSION FOR PEOPLE. A GREAT HUMAN BEING. THANK U😊 DR FOR ALL YOUR HONEST AND SOUND ADVICE. GOD BLESS YOU.
