Agree. The internet and good news forums like FR are helping people get control of their health, and push the "chemistry and surgery" docs in the direction of prevention, kicking and screaming. Wish I had a dollar for every time a doctor has told me "you're wasting your money" on vitamins. I've been researching vitamins/minerals for 50 years and have survived stuff that would have others in assisted living by now. (With the help of God!)
I once took the challenge when yet another doc said it was a waste and I went off my vitamin regimen for 6 months, then showed my doc all the worse numbers in my routine blood test—and then again how much better they were 6 months after I resumed my regimen.
The primary care docs are brainwashed by the pharma industry and med schools.
Yes...good job proving to doc the benefits of supplements for you. EVERYONE is different. I could tell stories of my battles with “docs” over past 30+ years.
