“I hope they have the latest technology to treat your heart attack and can take your appendix out when it goes bad”
That is silly. There are conditions nutrition and diet won’t solve - like a broken arm or a stab wound. But there are a LOT of things that can be largely solved - diabetes & many heart problems. And there are many more where diet and nutrition and exercise can greatly improve the odds - like COVID.
Who has better odds with COVID - a physically fit man or a lumbering hippo?
The doctor who wanted to put me on statins based 100% on “Your total cholesterol is 201” was an idiot. Blood pressure is fine. Low triglycerides. Pulse is 55. My gut is half the size of his. But when he started reading the lab results to me - never having looked at them before entering the room - he wanted me to go on statins because my total cholesterol was 201! Just a mindless application of a number and a trust drugs are the solution.
It isn’t either/or. Not everything can be solved by diet, but a huge number of issues can be greatly improved by diet!
“because physicians can change peoples genetics and hobits?”
Don’t know about hobbits, but no, doctors cannot change people. However, they CAN stop giving guidance like “Try to eliminate all fat from your diet” - which is an almost guaranteed way to create fat people! They could stop telling people to eat bran muffins and praising high-carb diets!
Frankly, medical professionals could try to start with “Do no harm” - because right now, a lot of medical professionals are medically STUPID.
Don’t get worked up.
They are just trying to excuse that hospital errors are the third leading cause of death in this country (up to 440,000 annualy).
Modern medicine has saved me a couple times but it also almost killed me a couple times.
Well at least I’m still here to say, don’t go into the hospital unless you have to and get multiple opinions.
