Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has had a profound love for alternative medicine. Recently, podcaster Joe Rogan was seen advising Tyson to ignore medical advice.

Tyson was hosting his, ‘Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson‘ podcast, along with co-host Sebastian Joseph Day. Rogan was the guest for the episode.

In conversation, Tyson was talking about how his doctor advised him to undergo surgery for rotator cuff issues. He also added he was unsure why the doctor advised him to do the same. Tyson said, “I feel great. I said I feel great before I got surgery, y’all just gotta try to make some money there.”

However, he admitted that he could see tears during an MRI scan.

In response, Rogan tells him that he saw his sparring video with Rafael Cordeiro. And, that Tyson’s shoulder function is the best there is.

In fact, he even asks Tyson to not follow his doctor’s advice, blatantly stating, “Ignore it.”

Rogan finally gives Tyson advice on conditioning his mind to ignore the shoulder discomfort. He said, “I think it’s voodoo. I think you got to like keep your mind straight. Just pretend your shoulders don’t bother you.”

A guide to alternative medicine with Mike Tyson

‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ has been a passionate proponent of alternative medicine.

Tyson stated that a psychedelic concoction of the ‘venom’ from the Sonoran Desert Toad paved a way for his return to boxing.

He mentioned he discovered a traditional healing ritual involving the ‘venom’. This, in turn, led to Tyson losing 100 pounds and taking up boxing again. He also reconnected with his wife and children.

Talking about his experience, Tyson said, “It speaks for itself. If you knew me in 1989 you knew a different person. My mind isn’t sophisticated enough to fathom what happened, but life has improved.”
