Neighbor is a cardiologist as well and has noticed the trend. I've never talked politics with him, just neighborly chats and the occasional check-in on medical gossip for my own intel. He is a first generation Pakistani immigrant and came here the legal way. For what it's worth I get the sense he's only practicing traditional western medicine because our population is obsessed with the idea that it's the only medicine "that works". His statements to me reflect the mentality of most ayurvedic practitioners. Lucky for me when the SHTF he's going to be my primary ayurvedic doc whether he knows it yet or not!
