Its astounding isn't it?

They are practically ignoring what a person puts into their body day after day in huge amounts - who knows how many times our own body weight we eat in a given year (or should eat)... and the Doctors are like... no that can't be the problem.

Yet they think they can fix the body by writing a prescription for a substance that is completely foriegn to the body.

It defies logic and common sense.

And that is exactly why healthcare is in the state it's in.

And it isn't just that they just need to know current nutritional recommendations (which are always debatable), or what foods carry what nutrients... they need to become really familiar with the symptoms of nutritional deficiency... and realize that they can occur in anyone.
