Although he has retired, and is no longer on the air Health Mag on France 5, this does not prevent it from still being omnipresent. First of all on social networks, where the doctor is followed by more than 300,000 subscribers, and 370,000 subscribers on the account of Dr.Good! (Webedia – in its health vertical Webedia Care), but also through its various works. While he has just published his almanac A year 2025 In great shape (ed. Solar and Dr.Good!), a perfect gift for Christmas, and somewhat Cheers, it’s up to you!published by the same editions, Michel Cymes agreed to grant us an interview. The opportunity for the to talk about health, food but also politics. Indeed, it is not uncommon to ask the man of science if he one day considers become Minister of Health. We raised this point with him again, and his answer is clear.
“Being Minister of Health is a question that I am asked regularly, I must have said something one day which suggested that I would like to“, answers Dr. Michel Cymes. And obviously, it’s not for tomorrow. In fact, he would even be ready to break a record. And not really what we are proud of…”The Minister of Health who broke the national record for brevity of his ministry is Schwartzenberg, he lasted 15 days under the Rocard government, it was the end of the 1980s I thinkhe recalls. If I am Minister of Health, I can beat his record.” Here, Michel Cymes talks about Professor Léon Schwartzenberg, who died on October 14, 2003. French oncologist, he was briefly Minister Delegate in charge of Health in 1988.
Michel Cymes too “big mouth” for the post of minister?
But then why does Michel Cymes think he is not made for the job? “I am too loud to be Minister of Health, when you are a minister you must first learn to shut up, a minister shuts his mouth or resigns (He quotes Jean-Pierre Chevènement here, Editor’s note). In my opinion, I am too big-mouthed, I am a little too radical, I have a little too much conviction, and I think I would have a lot of things to say and then keep quiet when you are a minister where you need to be on the contrary, pragmatic and applying one’s convictions is a bit complicated, without taking into account that the Ministry of Health is located in Bercy at the Ministry of the Budget rather than elsewhere.” On the other hand, there is no shortage of ideas.”I have lots of ideas to give to the Minister of Health but I prefer that he applies them himself“, concludes Michel Cymes.
