The Seven Laws of Nutrition Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts

Why are old school doctors still not learning or teaching nutrition to their patients? More importantly, why are medical schools still not teaching nutrition to doctors? In other words, every year we are graduating thousands of nutritionally illiterate doctors from medical schools. They flat out don't understand the fundamentals of nutrition, and they can't possibly teach it to patients. Furthermore, most of them don't practice good nutritional habits themselves!

Once again, I'm talking about old school doctors who have a heavy client base. Due to patient load, they can only spend 2-3 minutes in dialogue with each patient. In that time period, it's simply not possible to teach nutrition to a patient. Of course, if you go visit a naturopathic physician, you will get a lot more face time. You would typically be able to ask questions and you would get a lot more personal instruction on nutrition and lifestyle changes as a way to prevent chronic disease.

But when it comes to old school doctors and traditionally trained physicians, you won't even get enough time to talk about nutrition. Patients often don't want to learn how to change At the same time, in the defense of such doctors and physicians, most patients aren't interested in hearing about nutrition in the first place. There are many doctors who attempt to give their patients nutritional advice, only to be routinely ignored. A large number of patients come in to hospitals and medical clinics and actually demand prescription drugs they've seen advertised on television.

In fact, there's one doctor who wrote a book extolling the benefits of ultraviolet radiation (and backed it up with an enormous battery of evidence), who was ostracized by the medical community, fired from his job, and ridiculed by old school doctors and even some medical journalists. This happened just recently, even though it sounds like a scene from the Dark Ages. The idea that sunlight is an important source of nutrition is not yet accepted by conventional medicine. But that's not surprising.

To old school doctors, a vitamin is a vitamin is a vitamin, no matter what form it comes in. They tend to think that synthetically produced vitamins have the exact same effect on the human body as vitamins found in living plants, as long as they share the same molecular structure. But, this simply isn't true. As naturopaths and holistic nutritionists and anyone in wellness and natural health knows, there is a huge difference in synthetic vitamins and nutrients versus living vitamins and nutrients.

I hardly need to tell you that old school doctors and health care workers are some of the least healthy people in our society. Sadly, many old-school MDs believe their own advice about drugs, and as a result, they suffer the effects of conventional medicine. Obesity is rampant among traditional doctors and health care workers, and depression and mental health disorders affect many. They also tend to die at young ages from heart attacks and other easily preventable health problems. So why do we turn to these people for answers to our own health? It makes no sense.

Today, of course, old school doctors are strongly in support of prescription drugs. But new doctors, the smart doctors, whom I hope you're visiting, are questioning the safety of prescription drugs. They are looking outside of conventional medicine for solutions, in terms of disease prevention and even the simple treatment of symptoms. These new doctors are noticing that people get healthier when they get off of prescription drugs.
