"All I'll Ever Know I Learned Way Back in Medical School"

This is one thing your doctor isn’t telling you, and won’t ever tell you. As medical students progress through their training, they are taught the latest techniques and to use the latest medicines…for the time. The only ones really up to date on their knowledge are the young researchers, but they realize it’s only a new piece to the overall health progression picture, and they, too, are going to lose ground to even younger researchers.

Sure, doctors may read articles, and attend conferences, but the time between articles and actual practice/implementation could be years. That's time you don't have to wait.

Doctors today have specialized and sub-specialized themselves so far away from the goal of overall health that it is no longer funny. The drive for money has caused them to do this—people will pay more for specific organ/disease/malfunction maintenance and repair than for general overseeing. Because of this over-specialization, more classes are required for the particular field of specialization, leaving less time, interest, and focus on nutrition—even as a healing source. On average, doctors today only get one class in nutrition, and it’s usually way back in the early years of medical school training. Most, if all, are never encouraged to incorporate nutrition in their patient practice, and seldom, if ever, refer their patients to a nutritionist or dietician.

Why not a dietician or nutritionist, you ask? Simple. It would interfere with the cut and sew/pill sales/HMO feeding mentality of the modern medical profession. The hospitals, clinics, and private practices need money to survive, and it falls to each and every doctor in it to produce their share of billable procedures and prescriptions. Marketing has taken over for common sense and preventative maintenance. Dieticians and nutritionists don’t sell anything for the drug companies, hospitals, clinics, and practices.

Since the medical machine thrives on money, it doesn’t behoove anyone to promote early prevention in the form of proper eating. They want your dollars to go to the pill manufacturers through doctor’s offices instead. They want to be able to cut you open, take things out, put things in, and then bill you for it. Eat right? Naw…it would only derail the machine.

This machine is one that needs derailing. It needs to be turned off. It’s your health…take back control of it from the medical establishment, big industry, and politicians.
