Dr. Albert Takem reacts to @DoctorMike interview with Dr. Aly Cohen and Dr. Andrea Love, shedding light on the critical line between evidence-based health facts and pseudoscience.

00:00 – Intro
01:00 – Ignoring Medical Truth
02:00 – Aly Cohen's Perspective
03:15 – False Balance in Science
04:30 – Where Was the Pushback?
06:00 – Misinformation's Real Impact
08:30 – Outro

Dr. Takem raises key questions:

Did Dr. Mike miss the chance to correct misleading claims by Aly Cohen?

Did he inadvertently amplify unsubstantiated viewpoints?

When pseudoscience arises mid-conversation, should a trusted voice step in?

Instead of challenging questionable statements, Dr. Mike appears to have simply joined the chat — without offering scientific counterpoints. This video evaluates whether that oversight could impact Dr. Mike’s credibility.

Is this a misstep or just being respectful on a public forum? Tune in to hear a detailed, respectful analysis grounded in reputable medical research.
