It is comical how much US doctors will dismiss the idea that diet has any impact on heath or disease
Discussion
I have yet to see any doctor who has ever dismissed that idea. đ
My wifeâs oncologists (2 of them) did not make any dietary recommendations
First, Iâm sorry she (and you) have had to deal with cancer cause cancer is horrific.
In my own experience of being treated for cancer there was a team of doctors & each has their speciality. I donât expect a specialist to speak with me about diet when they are specialized to treat cancer. That is the job of the âfamily doctorâ or physician in my mind.
Are you from another country where healthcare has a more holistic approach? Believe me, I agree that the US healthcare has issues. đ
Yes, our primary doc is great about that. I guess I just thought that a cancer doctor would make diet recommendations that might help the body fight cancer.
Thatâs fair. Just because we (and others Iâve known) have had the same experience it doesnât mean itâs the best treatment.
I know others have tried various ways to heal as Iâm sure you do as well. Maybe in the future with enough of us âsurvivorsâ telling our stories things might change. Cancer sucks & takes so much from us I know itâs always hard to speak about it for myself.
Thanks for speaking on it, youâve made me reconsider it more & how patients are treated. I may go back into patient advocacy again. đđđ
Not only in America. They say "we have a pill for that" or "its just age" when you ask them about the cause of an ailment.
To people who are 30 years old lol.
Its disgusting. Pure capitalistic greed. Big Pharma.
Corporate dictatorship. Take your shots and stfu!
Because the vast majority are not doctors. Theyâre pharmaceutical sales men.
