I'm in the US so I don't know how familiar you are with our system. But I'll ask anyway. Why do Doctors put you on medications and leave you on them for years?   I was on prozac for seven years. I decided it was doing more harm than good. Weaned myself off no problem.  Then I told my Doc after I was off. He said "Come on down and we will give you something else". He didn't understand I didn't want anything else. When I was doing Hep C treatment in '09 I didn't sleep for three weeks.  He put me on clonazepam. Now I've been on it for six years.  I changed Doctors less than a year ago and my new Doctor neglected to fill my prescription for twelve days. I had leftover pills and used them up. Then ran out.    I was tired of her office telling me they were going to fill them so i decided to go cold turkey.   By the third day I was having withdrawals. It was not a pleasant Super Bowl Sunday. Twenty hours of insanity.   I had to call her on Monday at five in the morning(answering service) and leave an email. By noon my meds showed up.   Of course I was snowed in from the foot of snow we had Sunday.   The good thing was I realized I had to get off the benzos. Easier said than done.  Now I'm hooked on benzos. The dose isn't large enough to work anymore and I sure don't want to increase it (I want off it). The withdrawals clued me in to the fact that the withdrawal symptoms were just an exaggeration of what the benzos were doing to me when i do take them.   You could do a video about benzos. I would be interested.  I won't even go into the debacle that was my Hep C treatment. I'm still anemic six years later. Inf/Riba. 48wks of hell. It failed.   As far as american doctors i have no faith in them at all. 

Hey Dr. Mike. I think your channel is great. I love the information you share giving me a lot of insights. And I love especially the way you show them, very easy to understand. Thanks for the effort. I'll surely tune in for more updates. Cheers

GO Dr. Mike!

Dr. Mike you are awesome!  Your videos are not only extremely entertaining but also filled with valuable knowledge.  I am getting hooked on on your videos

Do a video about fiber intake.

great channel

Thank you Dr Mike Evans.. Listen to your comments on low back pain and I am infinitly reassured that I have no serious disease that might leave me crippled in my advanced years. . It depressed me so much, and I have seen to many Doctors, had MRI,X-Ray Ct scans and no one came to a reasonable diagnosis, but your article ia the best of the lot. I do Pilates 4 times a week and am not going anywhere near a hospital anymore. Thank again. Anna

Hello Dr. Mike I was wondering if you could do a video on mental illness such as bipolar disorder, depression and other such illnesses. I am trying to find a good video that describes in a unique fun way to youth and I think your method is very good and entertaining. I have learned a lot watching your video's. Thank you.

thank you 4 this great channel

Love the channel..great content!

Dr. Mike, great stuff! Really helpful as a hospital employee in the community health department. There are videos on smoking and other specific behaviors and their impact on the body, but a visual highlighting a lack of physical activity, poor nutrition, and other unhealthy daily behaviors and the effects on the internal systems in the body would be interesting and ideally an eye-opener for any audience. Just an idea :).

Doc Mike you make wonderful videos

Hi Will you do a helpful primer on lifestyle changes for someone who had a quadruple bypass? I've been helping him with his lifestyle changes and he's very willing. However since his sudden heart attack and surgery I feel that I need more help. Thank-you for your great channel.
