None of the above. I just don't think the medical system here is set up to heal
chronic problems. It's set up to make money. Think about it. $10K a dose for maintenance medicine. So, something that temporarily relieves symptoms but does nothing to heal the patient. When's the last time your Doctor gave you a nutrition talk? Probably never, because they don't much about it, unless they've done their own research.

Look, I'm not saying that Doctors are evil and that we should avoid them. But I would be weary of one that told me the only thing he could do for me was take some medicine at $10K a shot.

I was diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis. My GE prescribed me a steroid to reduce the inflammation. I asked him how long it would take before I'm cured. He chuckled and said that isn't what he does. He just diagnoses problems and prescribes them relief. Mind blown!

I get irritated with many of you folks here who are so black and white about stuff like this. You're either Pro or Anti. Unbelievable.

And the testing comment is true. How many times do products get pulled off the market? It should literally never happen if they were testing properly. Remember, big Pharma is there to make money, not cure anyone. They keep you alive and dependent on their product to survive instead of a combination of still taking their product AND fixing your body so these problems can go away. Teaching people how to be healthy is not nearly as profitable as selling them drugs.
