Crazy-Ass Videos from Dr. Michael Borkin, NMD
Investigating a bit further into the Stewart Medical School craziness, there’s a Youtube account for someone claiming to be a med student there, and the videos the person favorited are craaaaazy lectures by this naturopath. (Medblogging gold, GOLD I say!) Like, seriously, seriously crazy, and you feel bad and worry for the students in the audience, ’cause there’s no way anyone could answer the questions in lecture, ’cause they make no sense:
“Tongues shaped like a hammer are the tongues of nymphomaniacs, as well as kidney problems.”
“If you get a patient who gets the flu, and a week later gets the flu again, what do you do? You have them throw away their toothbrush.” Also, if you have a high change in your morning cortisol levels, it’s “some kind of parasitic infection, some type of growth, some type of infection in the intestines.” A student asks him to explain these changes, and he says, “Oh, 15 years of gastroenterologists running correlations.”
A woman’s testosterone level is high because she is scared:
Wow. Um, WHAT??! I sort of understand the toothbrust thing, but the rest makes NO sense!
This is a joke right?
Correlationships? This makes me so sad.
This is why it is important that Naturopaths who graduate from 4 year, nationally accredited institutions are recognized as such (there are only 4 in the United States). It is a shame that schools such as Clayton College and other mail order schools exist. It is dangerous and unfair to the patient.
In the very beginning of the first video, he is using his laser pointer to point at a blank screen with just an hourglass in the middle. Thanks, that’s helpful.
I sent this link and the other Stewart Med link to a male friend, and he wrote back with “He’s wrong, nymphomaniacs have flat tongues.”
Hahah.
Haha, that’s hilarious. (I saw the hourglass too and figured he was just pointing at something off-screen, but maybe you’re right!)
It’s unfortunate. Lesions on the side of the tongue are a sign of poor liver function and hormone imbalance? That’s funny, at my medical school we learned it was the most like site of oral cancer. That might be worth a mention.
So you guys are basing the credibility of one of the students there based on lectures he got from an internet site?
That makes absolutely no sense and by the way, I attend Stewart University and I can assure you its everything med school should be, no life no vacation and sleeping with your textbooks.
No, I’m certainly not basing the credibility on that, Jacob. It just adds to my suspicion.
