First off, your ‘question’ is superfluous & argumentative. But ‘Ok’.
2nd, your industry is bribed daily by the pharmaceutical industry. I don’t trust a lick of what a doctor recommends for prescription without my own research.
Don’t like that?
Remember 2 things:
1. IMHO, and
2. CHANGE THAT (the culpability of health professionals to the bribery/advertising whims of the healthcare industry).
Lastly, once upon a time we were all force-fed the treatise that ‘eggs are bad for you’ and subjected to clinical protocol/clinical studies AD NAUSEAM. Most know what came of that.
Same goes for ‘fat’.
This simply was NOT a ‘faith healing’ post in ‘News’. It was valuable natural medicine posting in General/Chat for those with interest. There is no ‘full picture’ without discussion of simple, natural medicine & general health.
The viability of the immune system relative to digestive flora & fauna is becoming more mainstream, originating from the alternative medicine arena. Someday you’ll get your clinical trials and publication in AMA.
Until then, again...it’s Ok to have your own opinion; just be equally-prepared to have your patients ask you questions about the OP topic (or other natural medicine, for that matter), as the response that I would expect from you at this point would elicit a reaction none too pleasant from yours-truly...
You’re free to have your opinion, but I detest your claim that there are bribes between doctors and pharmaceutical companies. The US pharmaceutical companies disclose in great detail, all their payments to physicians be they for research, scientific input and consulting, or honorarium for speaking at conferences. These payments are token, and are certainly not enough to risk any sort of quid pro quo, nor damage the professional reputations of prescribing physicans. Prescriptions are written based on scientific evidence, but they are usually done with a holistic approach when possible. That is, a patient with head and neck cancer might receive radiation and chemo, but they will also be counseled to stop smoking and maintain their levels of nutrition, if applicable. FWIW
