La Consult' de Matthieu Cantet : “Avant les médecines complémentaires n’étaient pas validées par la science, c’était la porte ouverte au charlatanisme”

What's up Doc

Les médecines alternatives, un truc de charlatans ? Pas pour Matthieu Cantet, médecin généraliste titulaire d’un DIU d’échographie à Pau (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), qui est persuadé que les médecines complémentaires ont beaucoup à apporter à la médecine classique. Ce mordu de surf et de philosophie signe « Médecine intégrative pour le praticien », fruit de 10 ans de pratique et de réflexions pour trouver une méthode de soin efficace.

00:00 complementary medicines that are now studied in large trials,

00:04 which are validated by science.

00:05 Heart coherence, meditation, yoga, tai chi

00:09 are validated indications for a whole bunch of pathologies.

00:12 It is defined as the union of classical medicine

00:24 with alternative and complementary medicine

00:27 that we will study scientifically and validate or not.

00:30 We can add certain concepts,

00:31 like the fact of considering a patient in all its facets

00:35 and not only as a patient suffering from a pathology.

00:38 We will try to promote natural and effective care methods.

00:41 We will try to prescribe medicines

00:44 in the most efficient way possible, among others.

00:46 This book was only an arrangement of my own experiences,

00:55 my notes, my videos, podcasts,

00:58 meetings with other patients.

01:00 I tried to find a common thread

01:03 to find effective care methods.

01:06 Integrative medicine was the one

01:07 that brought together all the concepts I wanted to put to the test.

01:10 Years ago, all the complementary alternative medicines,

01:17 which are now called non-medicine interventions,

01:19 were not validated by science.

01:21 So it was the door to charlatanism.

01:23 Integrative medicine includes classical medicine

01:27 and complementary medicines

01:29 that are now studied in large trials

01:32 and validated by science for specific indications.

01:35 Today, we know that scientifically,

01:41 meditation in full consciousness

01:43 treats, accompanies anxiety, depression, physical activity.

01:47 It improves the state of health of the heart and arteries,

01:50 cardiac coherence, meditation, yoga, tai chi

01:54 are validated indications for a whole bunch of pathologies.

01:58 I really see it as a modern showcase

02:04 of my small personal business.

02:06 I have no vocation to be an influencer.

02:08 I will never place products or do that kind of thing.

02:12 After, you should never say never.

02:13 But I see it as communication of my work.

02:19 No, because I would be very bad at doing that.

02:21 Social media is a real job.

02:23 It's not mine. I use it,

02:25 but it will never be a job for me.

02:27 The main thing is that everyone is treated in good conditions

02:34 and forcing people to do any job

02:38 is not a good idea, because when you don't want to, you're not good.

02:40 So I don't have a miracle solution.

02:41 It allows me to think.

02:48 It allows me to treat better, to exchange ideas.

02:50 I think that doctors have everything to gain

02:53 by diving back into philosophy.

02:55 I was a point-a-picture for a few years,

03:00 and now I'm definitely a PO.

03:02 Rather a SURF, though.

03:07 It's an essential partner

03:12 when you give yourself the trouble of giving him a whole bunch of information.

03:15 When we do integrative medicine,

03:17 we consider that it's the patient who knows himself by heart.

03:20 And we will position ourselves as an advisor, an expert,

03:23 but it's him who will tell us his symptoms.

03:25 And by providing him with a lot of information,

03:27 it's him who will know himself better than us.

03:28 I don't have a war cry, I have a quote.

03:33 It may sound a bit pompous.

03:35 It's a quote that I may have taken from Marc Aurel,

03:37 who says, "May I be given the strength to change what can be,

03:40 to bear what we cannot change,

03:42 and the wisdom to distinguish one from the other."
