I think there are some doctors who just are robots, will be replaced by, but some will give you all kinds of info if they know you are a patient that WILL CHANGE. Just where I live, there is generational diabetes and obesity in almost 50% of the people, and their kids. We are all neighbors, there is an over abundance of alternative diets, supplements, good nutrition, available. My doctor is a wealth of information about things you would have to find out from a naturopath. I see these girls grow up to be morbidly obese before the age of 28. They will not change. They see the people who moved up here 30-40 years ago, still, as hippies, and all that diet change to be too hard. And the food that they post!!!!!! Sugar, processed products to make their recipes. Self care is a discipline when you have to prepare your own food, and the 20 somethings, for the most part, cannot function without a microwave. All the foods that give you diseases like diabetes are in processed foods, canola oils, and many of them are addictive, and affordable. Healing is hands on, people are sugar glazed and lethargic.It isn't always the doctors fault.
