I came across this article Top ten reasons to avoid your doctor and I felt compelled to share.
I am in absolute agreement with all 10 reasons listed, like reason number 8:
8. Inappropriate and Unwise Dietary Advice
Most doctors are clueless about what constitutes a healthy diet. As such, they will recommend health catastrophes like artificial sweeteners, vegetable oils in lieu of butter, and fat-free pasteurized dairy products. Most will also neglect to tell you about the foods you could be eating more of to optimize your health, like fermented vegetables, raw dairy products, healthy fats (like saturated and animal-based omega-3s), grass-fed beef and more.
In addition, most are ignorant about the importance of how to cook your food – most foods are best consumed when raw or only lightly cooked, and this includes animal proteins like eggs and meat. A discussion about food quality is essential to health (i.e. getting your meat from a small local farmer instead of a confined animal feeding operation (CAFO)) but you will almost never hear this from your family physician. Wondering how to truly eat healthy? See my nutrition plan for a comprehensive (and free) guide. articles.Mercola.com July 25th 2012
Take your health and that of your family into your own hands, and do not trust those who are influenced and brainwashed by corporate greed!
Live Happy and Healthy!
Thank you for sharing, many doctors are not aware of the consequences of their suggestions. Example, when my children were smaller I declined the flouride treatment. The dentist was appalled and said "I wouldn't do to your children what I woudn't do to mine". I replied "yes you would because you just don't know". It takes a lot of time and research to be better educated about what goes on, in and around your body and for many it's to time consuming. Thanks Mike, for sharing you knowledge.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pap smear information. I get them done annually, but might reconsider based on the information.
