Yep, I can believe it. It's a known fact that over the years medical schools

have never stressed the nutrition aspect. While that may be changing to some

degree today, most doctors can confirm this. It's far easier to write out a

prescription than it is to spend time with someone and educate them as to the

benefits of a healthy diet. And don't even get me started on the pill

pushers. We, as a nation, are so over medicated and so many think that because

a

doctor tells them to take it, it's okay. They never question and never

research.

Which reminds me of a website that some may find helpful. They list a

gazillion different drugs which are rated by consumers for side effects and

effectiveness. Just reading about the statin drugs is enough to curl your hair.

Do you know in July when my Mom was in the hospital for a few days, she was

ordered a veg. diet. They brought her eggs and bacon. I talked with the

dietician on the phone, she told me she didn't understand the vegetarian diet, I

went over it with her. I ran home to make lher lunch and deliver it after Mom

called to tell me they brought her fish sticks. The nurse said I couldn't bring

her food. I said, get the doctor on the phone please, I will be making all 3

of her meals and bringing them in here. The doctor told the head RN it was fine

for me to bring her food. He said if she's in this good of physical shape for

her age, then I would know what to feed her.

When she was released she had a follow up appt. with a new doctor and he was

shcoked at her age 82 and not having heart disease, BP problems (hers was high

for a temp,. reason), low cholesterol and her sugar is low. He told me his

health is very bad for 53 year old, and he admitted he lives on fast food, no

veggies and his cholesterol is raging, he has since asked me for recipes from

our files and he's been cooking now. Can you believe that??????

It truly is! Will probably read it again soon. I want to buy everyone I

know a copy, but unfortunately it would be wasted on more than a few. If only

people could understand the diet/disease connection. While my reasons for going

veg were ethical, the health benefits are an added plus.

 

My wonderful boss has just spent a year being treated for stage IV colon

cancer. Chemo, two major surgeries and now more chemo. She's doing remarkably

well and has a great attitude, but her doctor tells her to eat a lot of red meat

which literally brings tears to my eyes. :::Sigh::: while I never force my

vegetarian ways on anyone, it just makes me crazy that people can be so

uninformed when it comes to food choices.

--- Hello

That is pretty crazy for a doctor to eat that way then try to help

people. that doctor should quit eating so much fast food

I always thought it was interesting that every year, my doctors would tell me I

needed to lose weight ( " Diet and exercise " ), but were never very helpful with

specifics in that area. What really stinks is with many health insurance plans,

visits to nutritionists are not covered.

They don't know any more about nutrition than a regular person off the

street... very little gets covered in med school.
