Why would doctors ask patients what they eat? They know nothing about nutrition. They only know drugs and there are many times when there are better alternatives than drugs. I know, I've been there and so has many in my family.

Sorry, but I have no faith in traditional medicine any longer. Doctors scare me to death. I wouldn't hestitate to see a doctor for an injury but for chronic illness, they're dangerous.

Some scare me --- but you can still find some who aren't that into drugs. A friend of mine's mother was gulping down handfuls of pills several times a day and her blood pressure was still out of control. When they moved, she found a new doctor who took her off all medications, prescribed one hour of walking every day --- rain or shine and a balanced diet but mostly fruit and vegetables. Her blood pressure soon fell. Maybe the pharmacuetical companies weren't too fond of him. Health care is big business and it's best to remember that.
