These simple facts are overlooked by most Americans and a good portion of the medical profession . Theres little money for doctors who have patients who get healthy on their own by diet and exercise. So pils are the norm. Most patients believe that pills not diet and exercise are the norm so theres a perfectt marriage between the average Amercian and his doctor...

With health care costs going thru the roof its good to find a doctor who wil speak his mind. Most doctors will first give you a pill for your high blood pressure, diabeties, high choloesterol etc, where he says the first prescripton should first be nutritition recognizing the need to put diet, nutrition, exercise and weight management as the forefront of treatment, not some pill[s]. His nutritonal advice is to follow a extremely strict diet so as to attain immediate and substantial weight loss. Unfortunately in a world led to believe theres an answer to most chronic disease in the pills of a bottle from the pharmacy this advice borders on radical in the minds of many doctors.

I was at my regular doctors office this week for a checkup and he really couldnt understand my reluctance to take statins, beta blockers, antiacids and my desire to lose more weight. So maybe my guy is an oracle for stating what should be the obvious.
