Michael's Tremor
In this brief YouTube excerpt, a clinician (Speaker A) asks Michael (Speaker B) about his tremor and whether he is using the prescribed medication. Michael replies that his tremor has completely disappeared without taking any medication. The clinician suggests that perhaps Michael received Botox injections, but Michael denies this, explaining that he consulted a functional‑medicine practitioner who placed him on a gluten‑free diet. Michael attributes the full resolution of his tremor to the diet, despite having no celiac disease. The clinician reacts with disbelief, stating that the explanation makes no sense because Michael does not have celiac disease. The exchange highlights a patient’s self‑reported success with an unconventional dietary intervention and the clinician’s skepticism toward that claim.
