He wants you to think "experts" (people with credentials or authority) and scientific evidence/consensus are the same thing. They are not. An individual expert = a person. Scientific consensus = the accumulated weight of evidence across many independent experts and scientific studies. He's intentionally blurring this distinction, so he can frame distrust of evidence-based consensus as merely "questioning experts" and pretend his chosen "experts" are equivalent to scientific consensus. They are not. - Dr. Jessica Knurick

"Treating the root cause" is a trope abused in alternative/integrative/functional medicine to sow distrust in mainstream medicine. Ironically, a scientifically implausible “root cause” is often treated with pseudoscientific approaches (e.g., spine subluxations for all diseases; past life regressions for PTSD; balancing energy for back pain, etc.). H/t Dr. Glaucomflecken
