“Physicians are good for setting bones and stitching cuts..but that’s about all today.”
Anyone with a computer these days who does not immediately Google “nutrition and supplements to help condition XXX” after a diagnosis is missing important help. Three years ago doctors said my cataracts must have surgery as no treatment existed. I discovered at Google there were indeed several supplements I was not yet taking that could help. After 3 years my vision is 70 to 80% better. The glare of headlights no longer bothers my night driving except for those high brightness bluish headlights that everyone hates.
Even if you just think you have a health problem do the Google search. Then when you go to get a confirmed diagnosis you will have some pointed questions to ask. Unfortunately, you will discover that most doctors know almost nothing about nutrition, not even what can help or hurt in their specialty should you happen to be directed to a specialist by your GP or Internal Medicine practitioner.
As we have discovered, almost all the $6 billion a year that Dr. Fauci controlled was directed to drug research, very little to prevention or nutritional related treatments. As of late spring 2020 he said Vitamins C and D were not helpful for Covid. By Nov. that year he had to reluctantly admit he might be wrong based on a lot more information about Covid infections.

How To Prevent and Reverse Cataracts

“Anyone with a computer these days who does not immediately Google “nutrition and supplements to help condition XXX” after a diagnosis is missing important help.”
I agree. And always dig deeper than the first couple of pages returned by a Google search. Most of the first returns you receive will be of articles discounting the use of supplements. Use a different search engine and look for other sources.
Decades ago, when people grew their own food, they also received the nutrients from the minerals in the soil. The same goes for chemically treated water versus bored wells. Now everything is so sterilized we do not get those important vitamins and minerals that are so vital to our bodies.
It’s my belief that a little dirt is good for you and now everything is way too clean. For instance, during Covid everyone was sanitizing their hands and everything they touched. In my opinion that was harmful to our immune systems, and especially those of young children.
When my children were toddlers, they spent a lot of time outside and I’m sure more than one handful of dirt went into their mouths. They were seldom sick although after the third time to the hospital for the eldest and his propensity for breaking his arm (climbing trees), I did worry child services would be called. My b-i-l and his wife washed and boiled everything and their children were not allowed outside without shoes and long-sleeved shirts. After the birth of their first child, when we went to visit we had to take off our shoes outside and wash our hands immediately upon entering their home. Their children’s play-time was always carefully monitored and organized. One of them were sick and at the doctor’s office or in the hospital at least once a month. To this day, they all have a pale and unhealthy look to them. The boys can’t even grow a beard at age 30. My boys would have to shave twice a day if they wanted a clean-shaven face.
Unfortunately they are limiting our ability to take independent care of ourselves/ our health by increasingly censoring our searches and in some cases preventing us from finding certain information altogether.
