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