Excellent article.
The double standard used by so many doctors today bugs me no end. The same doctors who will "diagnose" diseases that do not exist, such as "pre-this" and "pre-that", and immediately write prescriptions for powerful drugs to "treat" those non-existent diseases, without a moment's hesitation, will typically refuse to provide adequate treatment for actual medical conditions (such as hypothyroidism, for example), because the patient's lab results are in the "normal" range.
A pox on their sanctimonious depravity.
Thanks for the link.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Hi,
That is so right.
But has anyone of you experienced your doctor asking: "What do you eat, and what are your eating habits"?
I'm afraid not.
Doctors have no idea that health and food often go hand in hand, and I don't think they learn anything about nourishment in medical school.
