Can This Doctor Work Without Prescribing Drugs? (Medical Documentary) | Real Stories Dr Chris Van Tulleken is embarking on a daring medical experiment that could change the way we think about our health forever. Britain is addicted to prescription drugs. They’re doing us more harm than good, the evidence for their efficacy is wafer-thin and they’re costing the NHS a fortune. It’s a medical crisis – and Chris is determined to do something about it. So he’s setting up a radical new drug-free clinic in a busy GP surgery. For three months, he’s going to treat illnesses without antibiotics, control pain without painkillers, and wean some of Britain’s most drug-dependent patients off their “life-saving” drug regimes. Instead of giving his patients medicine, he’s going to take their medicine away. Want to watch more full-length Documentaries?

It’s fascinating how each person succeeded by pairing up with another person or group of people. Those human connections made a difference.
OMG, I love this Dr.
I'm so moved by the amount of care this doctor truly has for his patients. He really is worried about how he can support them through the process of coming off the drugs. I'm blown away.
I remember just hearing that woman say that she in crippling pain & wants to “live” not just exist. Really good advice & work Chris; please don’t give up this goal! People out there really desperately need & want your support; help; advice & whatever it is you are able to do.
I am absolutely petrified of withdrawal. That's the only thing that stops me from coming off my meds.
Crystals transformation got me crying. I am soooo happy at how she recovered.
What an angle you are! Fascinating and educational. Recently I hiked up my doses for nerve pain by almost double. After watching this documentary, am planning to experiment a drug free day. Ten days ago, I started walking at least 45 minutes each day. I’m feeling more energetic and conscious about life in general. May the almighty God bless you. We need more humans like you on planet earth. You’re one in a billion! 🥂
Thanks for addressing the PHQ-9! Recently I have come to a new understanding about the form. It asks, how often have you been "bothered by" not how often have you "had" the following symptoms. For decades, I would fill these out reporting my symptoms. Not anymore, I will fill them out based on how much they bothered me.
I cried this whole episode. Such brave people❤🎉. Thank you
Awesome ⭐⭐⭐ we desperately need more doctors like this!
We need more and more doctors like this gentleman. Especially here in the USA.
I cried with happiness for Sarah and Crystal's progress. I'd like to think that this would spread like wildfire, but the power of marketing and lobbies is extreme.
Crystal's improvement is amazing! I'm soooo happy for her. OMGGG!! i cried seeing her.
What a wonderful man, as someone who suffers from depression and has finally stopped after 6 years, I'm so happy to watch this. Well done mate
This documentary has inspired me to try alternative methods to cope with my depression. Thank you so much to this doctor for really caring about patients' health.
Him taking the time and following up makes a high difference i am certain
I remember reading that the Chinese used to pay the doctor when they were well, and stopped when they got sick. Common 'prescriptions' would be things like Tai Chi, meditation, etc. We are too obsessed with the 'quick and easy fix'..
Truly well done to this Dr. What he is saying has been my philosophy all my life - which sometimes made family members angry. And yet I am fine and take no medication. Really well done to him.
Healthy diet, stretching, enjoyable moderate exercise and socializing can keep us in good shape.
This Documentary should have gone viral!! I'm in the US and this country has created drug addicted, homelessness, mental health disorders and these people have been thrown to the curb like rubbish. Chris, Thank you so much for this!!
