      @DarkShadowHawk720 Před 5 lety +10

      I think it is important for vegans to decide if they are vegan or just plant based. You can’t be considered a vegan if you use products that were made from or tested on animals, animal cruelty is the biggest argument vegans have against omnivores and crucify them for it yet somehow vegans wanna take vaccines? Hypocrisy? Don’t say you’re for the animals if you’re going to suddenly make something exceptional. I hold vegans to high expectations considering how much badmouthing alot of them do. Just like how they wish omnivores would stop criticizing the way they eat, then I’d wish vegans would not criticize ppl for living their own lives.

    • @KatLovin
      @KatLovin Před 5 lety +126

      DarkShadowHawk720 the problem with vaccines is that it’s not just about your own life. I’m all for people doing what they want so long as it doesn’t cause harm. Not vaccinating your child causes harm to the general population. And if your child is one of the few who cannot be vaccinated because of a health issue, then you better hope that other people are vaccinating their kids so your kid doesn’t get sick. It’s crazy to me that we had come so close to eliminating a lot of major deadly diseases only to have them resurface because people have been led astray by faulty information.

    • @yanayeye
      @yanayeye Před 5 lety +7

      Plz don’t take this the wrong way but Honestly since when have you truthfully cared about someone else other then yourself, I mean by the looks of it you really don’t care about yourself, if you did you would care enough to do just a moment of research, like literally 5 minutes of research would at least help you to realize that everything you just said is just plain not true, I suggest you start thinking for yourself instead of blindly fallowing a billion dollar industry that has zero interest in your well being.

    • @KatLovin
      @KatLovin Před 5 lety +76

      PlantPoweredMama By the looks of it I don’t care about myself? Just like your vaccination claims you have absolutely no evidence of that. Also, of course I care about other people. What kind of psychopath doesn’t show regard for other lives? I do believe it’s selfish to not vaccinate yourself and your children if you have no medical reasons not to do so. In terms of research, I have done my research. I just tend to trust sources like the World Health Organization, my physician, the Centre for Disease Control and peer reviewed medical journal articles over mommy blogs and books about vaccines written by chiropractors. Another fun form of research is to go to a cemetery and see how many more baby tombstones there were prior to the 1950s and look up the statistics about just how many people died of measles and polio before vaccines. If you do have evidence that supports that herd immunity is a fallacy, I’m open to looking at it but to suggest that I don’t think for myself because I don’t agree with you is quite egocentric of you.

    Ellen's kids look healthy and happy but so did I when I was a kid, eating fast food and candies, meat and dairy. My health problems started only when I was 16yo. Most of the kids will be looking healthy on any diet but the problems may start later. That's why deciding if the diet is good or not based just on how our kids feel right now is not enough I'm afraid.

      I agree on the fact that Ellen Fisher has become an influencer - due to the number of her subscribers on CZcams as well as the total number of followers on Instagram and other social media accounts. However, the audience must (finally) realize that her content is ALL ABOUT MAKING MONEY. It's a business. Nobody knows about her real beliefs, values etc. Her persona might not even be real - but how do we know? We can only judge her "persona" by the content and the posts she is creating. In my opinion it is obvious that CZcamsrs - in general - rely on brand integration and product placement. They simply create a story (in this case with the topics of *family life,*veganism , *outschooling, *homebirth etc.) in order to make money. For sure they might be intrinsic-driven about certain topics; otherwise they would probably not spend as many hours a day in front of their camera, but it's only purpose is to get as many subscribers as possible - for the financial reason. Ellen Fisher's marketing strategy is simple - but very effective! It is really dangerous to follow or even to copy CZcamsr's advices / life styles one by one. Especially if it's all fake! They all make profit out of it ($). I do not want to go into further details; but it is very obvious that all the promotion of B12 supplies, vitamin pills, supplements or nutrition tips are only mentioned that people will buy it. CZcamsrs - like Ellen Fisher - do not necessarily care about your health or well-being; just as a consumer of her promoted products. So please tconsider to talk to your doctor or to any aproved medical specialists about health, nutrition plans and skin care - and do not listen to Ellen Fisher or any influencer primarily! Health related topics have to be taken seriously - Health decisions should always be evidence-based not opinion-based.

I have patients that are not even 25 yet with skin cancer. Skin damage starts from day one. Everyone that I have dealt with that has skin cancer never wore sunscreen in their life or only wore it at the beach in the summer. People are very nonchalant when it comes to skin health.

For example, I am a PhD student at a university so I have (a) access to journals and papers for pretty much anything I could imagine, and (b) I research for a living and know that it is 100% a skill to be able to do the type of in-depth (and usually confusing because of technical jargon) research required for many of these topics. I am super fortunate that I can take a video from youtube and go conduct my own research, but I would be willing to bet that 95% of people don't, even with the almighty google.

      Completely agreed.

At least for me, if it’s outside of my field it is usually very challenging to understand and interpret correctly. Very important to learn to put our trust on the experts.

    She said she only shows what the children tell her to show, but they are children, they are too young to understand the complexity of putting your life out there in the internet. And as you said sometines the kids are actually too young to consent, we saw photos of them since the day they were born. And Elvis wanting to be filmed and telling her to redo and film only some parts worries me, it shows he already worries about what he's like, his online persona, and he's not living as carefree as a kid should. Since he was born his parents put his life out there, his videos weren't solely taken for the joy of having a way to remember when he was a kid in a private family setting, but with the intent of being published. And I think that's toxic

      I'm not anti-vaxination, but your comment seems to mislead people. I've done my research and 95% Polish population is vaccinated to measles, so how is this outbreak possible? Moreover, according to EU statistics, Poland is the country that takes about 20% of all the immigrants coming to Europe and Poland's 5% of population is now made out of immigrants, which is the highest in the whole EU (in 2017). I assume that the health of migrants is not checked (since Polish government responded to this "outbreak" with changing the migration laws to vaccinate the people coming to Poland), so the outbreaks of some diseases can happen, same happened in Germany (which takes actually less immigrants than Poland). By the way, 100 people getting sick is not really an outbreak. (To make it clear, I have nothing against migrants, but it is not responsible to take millions of immigrants without giving them any medical check-up in advance, especially when many of them are from some exotic countries. In America we need to vaccinate before we go into tropics). So comparing this situation to the situation in US where many hundreds of thousands people refuse to vaccinate their kids is to say the least misleading. Vaccination in Poland is obligatory, in USA on the other hand, many people don't face any legal consequences from not vaccinating their kids. We are lucky that there are no outbreaks of any diseases yet in America. But sadly it may come if people mind only their own business...

Maybe 'outbreak' isn't the word and if that was misleading on my part then I'm sorry, just saying there is a case of kids contracting measles in our country and it is outrageous BECAUSE the vaccinations are obligatory. The authorities are looking into this and yes, it was probably brought from outside somehow, because how the heck else would it be there. Anti-vax movements is not an issue exclusive for America, Poland has had cases of parents running away from hospitals with their newborn children putting them in potential danger because they didn't want them vaccinated and there recently was a lot of public debate about making the vaccinations non-obligatory and even formal suggestions of changing the law (fortunately the government didn't go through with it). I didn't plan on comparing anything to the US, for me it is simply a deeply saddening example of a preventable disease being places it absolutely shouldn't.

Let's not normalize her anti-vax stance just because she talks about compassionate parenting, is generally warm, and seems to care deeply about being kind and helpful, etc. You cannot be anti-vax and get away with the fact that your choice is literally harming other kids and your own by causing resurgences of entirely preventable deadly diseases, not to mention causing damage by stigmatizing autism. There is no excuse to ignore the insurmountable evidence debunking anti-vax claims, and the fact that she has normalized this is incredibly harmful and yes is literally threatening the lives of her children and others.

    I am so annoyed at the "SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT THIS" logic Ellen Fisher uses with her anti-vacc bs. Many people have written lots of (shitty?) books about tons of shitty stuff, yet we don't completely change our lives according to the book we read just because someone wrote about it. When Werther was published, hundreds of men committed suicide because they felt like Goethe's depiction of being hopelessly/crazily in love was so accurate. Still, we as a society agree that that is generally not a good idea. How do they not understand the concept of peer-review?

    My grandmother was eight years old when she watched her mother die of tetanus. There had been a vaccine for years and there was a treatment. She could have lived and been there to protect and raise my grandma. But instead, she passed on treatment, my grandmother watched her mother die one of the most horrifying deaths possible, and then my grandmother was shuffled from family member to family member afterward and was molested by two of her uncles, was physically abused by another family member, and ended up married and pregnant at 15 (to a 26 year old man).
    She wouldn’t let me draw on my skin, even with washable markers, and sometimes would freak out if I used makeup because she didn’t understand exactly how her mother died (she was told blood poisoning but the autopsy records say tetanus). Watching her mother die in such a horrible way traumatized her for life.

There is nevertheless a small possibility to get infected, if a infected person is near you. Like in a classroom with kids, where 29 are vaccinated and 1 isnt, the one gets infected and is responsible for infecting 2 more kids unnecessarily. If it werent for vaccinations, almost all kids would be infected.

    • @liannebiggar1557
      @liannebiggar1557 Před 4 lety

      Your body can break down the non-protein foods you eat into their various amino acid building blocks and “create” protein out of that. That’s the basis of this argument. However, as was mentioned a couple of times in this video, we have pretty low adsorption of nutrients from most plant based foods - meaning that even if the food you eat technically has all the nutrition your body needs, your body might not actually be absorbing/digesting/using it.

    • @GS-xj4st
      @GS-xj4st Před 4 lety +4

      Essential amino acid cannot be produced by the body (non-essential amino acid can be made from other stuff) and while a random equilibriate vegan diet will provide enough essentials amino acid, a restrictive diet like high carb low fat with no beans legumes and nuts will hardly make it.

      calroriens is a way to describe how much energy will be created by burning something. That's why fat or alcohol is high in calories, burning these things will result in a highly exothermic reaction. While some of the plant atoms can be broken down and built into new amino acids there are some amino acids that can't be produced by the body called essential amino acids. These need to be consumed just like essential fatty acids.

We get our skin checked at least once a year. My partner is a very pale ginger and goes twice a year, and every check he gets at least one mole removed. This is someone who wear spf 50 daily PLUS UV safe clothing if we are outside for extended periods of time(hiking, beach, kayaking etc). It’s concerning that her kids are not wearing rash guards at the beach even in the early hours especially as she isn’t using sunscreen properly.

    A chiropractor is not a doctor of medicine. They go through less schooling, and have COMPLETELY different training and certification. A chiropractor cannot prescribe medicine and they specializes and emphasize the proper alignment of the spine and body to promote good health, which has nothing to do with the field of medicine. This being said, people should not be taking their recommendations about vaccinations seriously, since they have no background or credentials to prescribe medicine in the first place. I am not saying anything bad about chiropractors, they are very helpful and have improved so many people’s quality of life, and of course, not all chiropractors are giving recommendations to people about vaccinating children, because they stick to what they are an expert in. Please understand that it is so important to understand where your information is coming from, in order for you to know that this information is reliable and valid. Thank you so much for talking about this because this insane idea that vaccinations are bad is going to have consequences for kids in the future, who had no say in the matter. Of course, not vaccinating your child is ultimately your choice, but putting your children and the public at risk because of bad research is not an excuse.

You've really inspired me to reach out for help, and last night was my first dietician appointment. I now have a game plan, and while right now I'm not going to be going full vegitarian (still will have a small amount of chicken and fish in my diet) right now, but I'm going to slowly work towards it.

    I mean, I know when I first started watching Ellen’s channel and watched the video about how she doesn’t supplement B12 for her or her family, I thought that was really cool and made the assumption that they didn’t because they got enough in other ways (that I never knew about). In fact, I waited off on getting a B12 supplement for quite a while (and after a blood test found out I had a slight deficiency) because I was under the impression that it wasn’t totally necessary to have one. I actually distinctly remember talking to my mum about how “cool” it was that Ellen didn’t give her children B12 because “they don’t need it”. I understand she’s since changed her position on that but I’d hate for a new vegan like I was to stumble upon that video like I did and come to the conclusion that it’s ok not to supplement for B12 (sorry about the very long comment!)

    What's your opinion on methylation of B vitamins? I've heard (initially from the "biohacker" crowd, so....) that a decent portion of the population (around 25%, if I recall correctly) may have genetic "snips" that impede their ability to methylate B vitamins. Cyanocobalamin has to be methylated before it can be utilized, but if someone has a known or unknown genetic predisposition that limits methylation, theoretically they could still be low in active B12 (and potentially experiencing symptoms of low B12) despite regular/responsible supplementation. That's the reason I opt for methylcobalamin, but I'm interested to hear your opinion. Take care!

      You can share with your mom the study where doctors are able to figure out which babies in utero are more likely to have autism after age two. You can also show your mom the pruning neuron hypothesis and how one typical stage of healthy brain pruning is supposed to happen right around age two. When kids develop autistic symptoms after age two and seem to regress, it could be due to their brain not having a specific kind of pruning. That may help your mom. You can show her that it is common for parents of ppl with disabilities to wonder if they could have prevented their child's condition. Also, you could show her transmission of infectious disease videos.

    That being said, let me say something more serious: I've been one of those meat-eaters who tries to eat one plant-based meal a week since honestly I do want to do SOMETHING, but I can't really afford vegan food, as a poor student putting herself through law school, or spend the time it would take to prep vegan food for someone who lifts weights 4-5 times a week (that's a LOT of food). Once I'm not a student anymore I'd love to try a vegan or at least more environmentally friendly diet but I'm not sure how..I'm sure it's possible but it makes me nervous since I'm already kind of sensitive to some foods since I got my gallbladder removed at 23. I wonder what the best way would be.. Any advice is welcome!

She is doing what she genuinely believes is best for her kids and herself. (And honestly, who has EVERYTHING right when it comes to health?)

      So because she has a different stance on a subject you wont watch her videos anymore? A lot of people dont even share controversial topics with others, I like that she does. And she also never tells people to do anything, she just says to do research yourself instead of blatantly following what other vegans are doing. Her videos really give me lots of positive vibes and would never stop watching her videos and judge her because she has a different view from the majority of people. I have this friend who I had a discussion with on a very serious topic, and I felt really personally attacked because something he said was very negative, and very ignorant/ selfish. We stayed friends however and I just dont talk about that topic anymore. I think it is great to be able to still appreciate people for who they are and to not judge and not just what they think. And believe that inherently they are still good people. Edit: i finished watching the video and I so agree with you :) it is also healthy having a discussion on topics, but I guess this becomes harder when we are painting a negative picture of people and judging them personally, but rather just educating with factual information.

Your response, like all of yours, were done with a good heart and good intentions in the overall message. I believe she also produces content that she believes to be with the utmost best intentions, but she is not portraying her diet nor her children's diets to be healthy. You calling that out and doing the public a favor by criticizing that in one of the politest, nicest, educated ways is really commendable. I think more people need to be more open to criticism, and instead of her responding on the defense about how you didn't tell her privately, she could have made a public response video or a more amicable response that took that criticism in stride. The burden of proof is on the provider of content, no contest to that. Thanks for what you do Swayze.
