Very different doing it to camera than doing it under lockdown conditions.Mosley is technically a Doctor and can legitimately call himself as such,  But his title is academic only, and he is a journalist and has not followed any practical application in a proper medical establishment.  Whilst shining a TV spotlight onto medical issues is entertaining, I find this guru worship somewhat worrisome and not covered by any proper oversight that a physician would be covered by.  He is after all claiming to provide solutions to what are medical issues, without being held to account except by public acclaim.  When it comes to his Fast 800 Plan being touted for Diabetes, cancer and alzheimers patients, then we should take caution.</blockquote>
