乔·孔查抨击密歇根州候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德涉嫌夸大医疗资质
福克斯新闻特约评论员乔·孔查强烈批评密歇根州参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德涉嫌谎报自己的医疗资质。孔查强调了真正医生的严苛从业路径和付出的牺牲，将其与埃尔赛义德的说法进行对比。他指出，埃尔赛义德没有行医执照，从未挽救过生命，并称其言论具有欺骗性，有损医疗行业声誉。孔查认为选民应当警惕此类不实表述。

密歇根州民主党参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德曾通过推销健康产品牟利，期间还援引自己的医疗资质背书，尽管他曾表示自己普遍拒绝宣传有健康功效的产品，并批评他人从事此类行为。
在参选参议员之前，埃尔赛义德主持了一档播客，通过广告植入获得六位数收入。在他付费代言的公司中，不乏销售补充剂、肽类药物以及一款受到健康专家审视的以色列产代谢追踪设备的企业，而他在推销时经常提及自己所谓的医生从业经验。
尽管埃尔赛义德曾保证不会利用自己的平台向听众推销健康产品，但他还是进行了上述广告植入。

“我普遍拒绝任何宣传有健康功效产品的广告，”他在2022年3月一条现已删除的社交媒体帖文中写道。
2022年宾夕法尼亚州参议员竞选期间，埃尔赛义德还指责穆罕默德·奥兹属于“为向你推销其实并不需要、且毫无科学依据的产品而存在的医疗工业复合体”的一员。
“但他却可以说，‘好吧，我是医生，所以你们应该相信我说的话’，”埃尔赛义德补充道。

在向听众保证不会推销健康产品，并批评奥兹利用医疗资质推销产品之后，埃尔赛义德却用自己的医疗资质为健康产品背书。
“即便身为医生和流行病学家，营养标签也极其难懂，”埃尔赛义德在2025年3月的一则广告中说道，“这就是Thrive Market的用武之地。听着，我很喜欢Thrive Market，这是我常去的在线杂货店，能把所有健康必备品送到家，我甚至都不用走出家门。”
Thrive Market销售多种补充剂，其中包括名为“Moon Juice脑粉”和“蜂王浆健脑素”的产品，宣称可改善使用者的认知功能。健康专家对这类补充剂能否真正提升大脑功能表示质疑。
Moon Juice脑粉自称是“由适应原和草本植物组成的益智混合物，可针对压力状况，助力提升精神耐力、警觉性和专注力”，其配方“借鉴了传统中医和阿育吠陀医学理念”。而蜂王浆则是蜜蜂用于喂养蜂王的浓稠乳白色物质。支持者称其有助于缓解更年期症状或改善乏力状况，但相关说法的科学证据十分有限。
福克斯新闻数字频道周一联系Thrive Market寻求置评，但未得到回复。

尽管埃尔赛义德在广告植入和竞选活动中频繁以医生身份自居，但公开记录显示，他从未取得过行医执照，也未完成住院医师培训。不过，他确实拥有医学博士学位和公共卫生博士学位。
《纽约邮报》率先报道了埃尔赛义德为健康产品做广告一事。
销售脑粉等产品的公司并非埃尔赛义德唯一的客户。
2024年7月23日，埃尔赛义德为一家以色列初创公司开发的医疗设备朗读广告。
“Lumen是全球首款手持式代谢教练设备。它通过呼吸和配套应用程序测量你的新陈代谢状况，能让你了解自己正在燃烧脂肪还是碳水化合物，并为改善营养、锻炼、睡眠甚至管理压力提供个性化指导，”他说道，“你只需在早上起床后对着Lumen设备呼吸，它就能让你清楚了解自己的新陈代谢情况，以及你主要在燃烧脂肪还是碳水化合物。”
在埃尔赛义德接受Lumen的广告代言多年前，就有专家对其医疗功效宣称提出了质疑。
“我看不出这款产品在帮助人们实现减肥目标方面有什么实际用途，”哈伯-加州大学洛杉矶分校医疗中心高级研究员尼古拉斯·蒂勒2022年在接受《户外》杂志采访时表示，“使用代谢灵活性等听起来很科学的术语，给这款产品披上了虚假的科学合法性外衣。”
“这本质上就是营销大于科学，”他补充道。

‘Doctor’ El-Sayed’s bizarre health hustle raises campaign headache: ‘Moon Juice Brain Dust’

Joe Concha slams Michigan candidate Abdul El-Sayed over alleged medical credential claims
Fox News contributor Joe Concha vehemently criticizes Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for allegedly misrepresenting his medical credentials. Concha highlights the rigorous path and sacrifice of real doctors, contrasting it with El-Sayed’s claims. He argues El-Sayed, lacking a medical license, has not saved lives, branding his claims as deceitful and a disservice to the profession. Concha argues voters should be wary of such misrepresentations.

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed made money promoting health products, including while invoking his medical credentials, despite saying he broadly rejected advertisements for products making health claims and criticizing others for doing the same.
Before running for Senate, El-Sayed hosted a podcast that provided him with a six-figure income partially through ad reads. Among the companies El-Sayed promoted for cash, often citing his purported experience as a doctor, were firms selling supplements, peptides, and an Israeli metabolism-tracking device that has been scrutinized by health experts.
The ad reads came despite an assurance from El-Sayed that he would not use his platform to sell health products to people who listen to him.
SOCIALISM’S WAR ON SUCCESS HAS A NEW CHAMPION — AND HE’S RUNNING FOR SENATE IN MICHIGAN

“I broadly reject any advertisements that are for products making claims about health,” he wrote in a now-deleted social media post from March 2022.
El-Sayed also accused Mehmet Oz during his 2022 Pennsylvania Senate run of being part of the “medical industrial complex that exists to sell you things that you don’t need that are not actually based in any level of science.”
“Yet he can … say, ‘Well, I’m a doctor, so you should trust what I have to say,’” El-Sayed added.

After assuring his audience that he wouldn’t hawk health products, and criticizing Oz for using his medical credentials for doing so, El-Sayed used his medical credentials to sell health products.
“Even as a doctor and epidemiologist, nutrition labels are obnoxiously hard to process,” El-Sayed said during a March 2025 ad read. “That’s where Thrive Market comes in. See, I love Thrive Market, my go to online grocery store for getting all of my healthy essentials delivered. And I don’t even have to leave my couch.”
Thrive Market has sold a wide selection of supplements, including items such as “Moon Juice Brain Dust” and “Royal Jelly Brain Fuel” that claim to improve the cognitive function of those who use them. Health experts have cast doubt on whether or not such supplements can actually improve brain function.
Moon Juice Brain Dust describes itself as a “nootropic blend of adaptogens and herbs that target stress to support mental stamina, alertness, and concentration” that is “informed by Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda.” Royal jelly, meanwhile, is a thick, milky substance produced by bees to feed their queen. Proponents argue it can be helpful in treating menopause symptoms or addressing low energy, though scientific evidence for such claims is limited.
Thrive did not respond to a request for comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Monday.

While El-Sayed has leaned heavily on his identity as a doctor both in doing ad reads and on the campaign trail, public records indicate that he never held a medical license or completed a residency. He does, however, hold a medical degree and a doctorate degree in public health.
The New York Post was the first to report on El-Sayed’s advertisement for health goods.
A company making moon dust and brain jelly wasn’t El-Sayed’s only customer.
On July 23, 2024, El-Sayed read an ad promoting a medical device created by an Israel-based startup.
“Lumen is the world’s first handheld metabolic coach. It’s a device that measures your metabolism through your breath and on the app. It lets you know if you’re burning fat or carbs and gives you tailored guidance to improve your nutrition, workout, sleep, and even manage your stress,” he said. “All you’ve got to do is breathe into your Lumen first thing in the morning, and it’ll give you an inside look into what’s going on with your metabolism, whether you’re burning mostly fats or carbs.”
Years before El-Sayed took Lumen’s advertising money, experts were raising concerns about its medical claims.
“I just don’t see a practical use for the product in helping people achieve their weight-loss goals,” Harbor-UCLA Medical Center senior researcher Nicholas Tiller told Outside Magazine in 2022. “The use of metabolic flexibility and other science-sounding terms lend the product a false scientific legitimacy.”
“It’s quintessential marketing over science,” he added.

El-Sayed also advertised for a company offering a peptide that allegedly improves skin health.
The El-Sayed campaign did not respond to a request for comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Monday.
