I just started taking berberine. My doctors at Stanford had not heard of berberine, nor had they heard of nattokinase which not only thins my blood a little, it actually fights clots (something my body can’t do). It’s crazy doctors aren’t familiar with solid solutions like that.
Doctors know nothing but the company line from the FDA, CDC and the AMA. Even when you show them proof from recent studies contradicting his force fed dogma. There are no critical thinkers in the medical profession (or I can’t find any).
They can’t recommend anything that doesn’t have consensus approval. So they don’t look for word of mouth communication. They will heartily recommend something that they know works and that cannot cause unknown harm or they cannot be sued for. It takes a long time for something to be accepted as true...with drug companies protecting their products reputation by impugning any countering information it will be a long time before things change.
