Doctors are not trained in nutrition; they are trained to prescribe drugs and other medicines. They are not allowed by law to even mention natural ways to cure illness or disease using anything other than prescription drugs. Toximolecular medicine, used by the majority of doctors (especially in the past 50 years) is the administration of drugs at sub-lethal levels to cover up diseases or ailments. Drugs, of course, are alien chemicals which serve to cover-up the disease - to mask it, help relieve symptoms, but never to eliminate the real cause. They offer symptomatic relief but often at the cost of severe and dangerous side effects (if you read the side effect list on some of the most popular drugs, they actually cause much more problems than they solve). Drugs create dependence on the part of the patient and often complicate the doctor's job by masking or alleviating the symptoms, which are valuable clues as to the real source of the disease or illness. Of course drugs can save the life of an ill patient, as can surgery and the other techniques at which doctors are very good at. But the paradigm is changing. The common practice of using drugs or surgery to treat what is caused by nutritional deficiencies is slowly on its way out the door. As a doctor in Dublin recently said, "The evidence for nutritional therapy is becoming so strong that if the doctors of today don't become nutritionists, the nutritionists will become the doctors of tomorrow." Patrick Holford, Director of the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London which is at the forefront of research and education in this field, makes this very clear: “Tomorrow's medicine will not be about using nutrients instead of drugs. It will be about looking through a new pair of glasses which reveal the true causes of disease. In most cases these lie in faulty nutrition, pollution, stress, negativity, addiction and lack of exercise - the greatest cause of all being ignorance. The original meaning of the word 'doctor' is "teacher or learned man" and that is perhaps the most important role a health professional can perform.” Let’s figure out the basics first. We do not have a headache because of a lack of Tylenol, and we don’t develop diabetes because of a lack of Metformin. Our stomachs don’t get upset because of a lack of Pepto-Bismol, and I’m sure we don’t get high cholesterol because of a lack of cholesterol lowering drugs. Do you see where I’m going? Tylenol does not cure your headache, it just stops you from feeling it, Metformin does not cure diabetes, it just makes your liver release less glucose, and Aspirin thins the blood which “seems” to help with heart disease, but why was the blood thick anyway? Why did you have a headache? Why is there so much glucose in your blood? What is the CAUSE of all those diseases?
