Part of the problem that I think has led doctors to become what they are, to think how they think, is people in general. We're actually in the minority, being the people who were willing to give up what we loved for the sake of better health. Most people aren't like that.
I was talking with a friend about a month ago, and he is pre-diabetic, has blood sugar issues, takes meds for various reasons, etc. He was telling me how his doctor said he should cut out this and that from his diet, and his response was he would rather die. Food was one of the last remaining pleasures he had left.
Food is god to some people. Even my parents will try a new restaurant and then tell me about their meal and how it was mmmm mmmm mmmm good, almost as if they had some out-of-body experience, lol.

Agreed.
I feel like if I got better with a shift in diet I would like to think so could a lot of people.
What I think would help, similar in thought to what you posted, is doctors being a bit more open minded. I get pills and potions can help correct a situation in a hurry and a lot of times that is the best practice. But I wish there was the next step to see what could be done for an alternate means of healing/staying healthy.
Good luck on your continued progress.

Thank you Scott. I agree that there is a time and place for traditional allopathic medicine. One place they excel is trauma care! My biggest dream would be for doctors' training to be less supportive of the pharmaceutical industry ( unfortunately they do the majority of the funding) and focus more on prevention through truly the healthy diets and environments. I hope that is the future for our next generations.

Thanks for the well wishes.

Bob , I can't thank you enough for your comments. I have a feeling you have given me great info. I will be having the urine test run on Monday so they can see what lab draws they want to order. I have found the less I eat the more comfortable I am. Tried a hamburger patty last night and noticed more discomfort late evening. Could just be a coincidence. I'll update when I have lab results.

It is so great to have a community - especially when we don't have medical teams today who seem to understand alternatives perspectives.😊
