Episode 379: Dr. Mary Bowden
Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Mary Bowden is an otolaryngologist and sleep medicine specialist in Houston, Texas, who treated over 6,000 COVID patients during the pandemic. Her vast experience prompted her to become a fierce advocate for early treatment. After the FDA spread misinformation about ivermectin, she and Drs. Paul Marik and Robert Apter successfully sued them, forcing the agency to delete several misleading social media posts and web pages. Houston was ground zero for the COVID-19 shot mandates, and Dr. Bowden was an early outspoken critic. The first hospital in the country to implement mandates, Houston Methodist, suspended her privileges and reported her to the Texas Medical Board in response to her tweeting, “Vaccine mandates are wrong.” The ensuing attacks prompted her to fight back, and she founded a nonprofit, Americans for Health Freedom, whose foundational project is to enlist politicians and other doctors to call for the COVID shots to be pulled off the market.
In this episode, Drs. Brian, Tro, and Mary talk about...
- (00:00) Intro
- (03:23) The governmental attack on effective, affordable treatments for Covid during the vaccine rollout
- (11:23) The data supporting the usage of Ivermectin as a safe and effective treatment for Covid
- (13:47) The lawsuit filed by Dr. Bowden and other doctors against the FDA for interfering with their ability to practice medicine by overstepping their authority and violating the Administrative Procedure Act
- (17:42) Why Dr. Bowden decided she had to sue the FDA
- (27:02) Medical ethics, speaking out for the truth, and standing up to corruption
- (35:59) The quality of research for the safety of various vaccines and why we need a higher standard
- (41:59) The suppression of effective early treatment options and the massive promotion of vaccines
- (48:15) How Drs. Bowden and Lenzkes would have respectively handled the Covid situation if they had the opportunity to run the NIH in 2020-2021
- (55:23) Dr. Bowden’s recent interest in the carnivore diet
- (01:01:39) Dr. Bowden’s, Dr. Tro’s, and Dr. Brian’s advice for medical students and the next generation of doctors
- (01:09:28) R.F.K. and Jay Bhattacharya
