Can better diet make people healthy? Maybe....maybe not. Again I will state that some bodies will not tolerate some foods, foods that might need to be ingested to help a body get needed And necessary nutrients.
Learning to eat foods that are nutritious is something we all might benefit from, but no matter what you say or I say, we all live in a manner we've learned, adjusted to. Some recognize they need to do something to make life better for them....for some it's weight loss, for some, it's exercise, for others, it's diet. In order to do anything, people need to WANT to do something. If they decide to forgo what some consider the road to good health, well, they must deal with the consequences of their decision. Health care is there to help people in need, be they suffering from obesity, COPD, heart or vascular disease, a broken leg or bacterial infection. Physicians take an oath to provide care to all who come to them. They aren't necessarily trained in advanced nutrition. They can make recommendations, but it is up to the patient to either take the advice or not.

I would never contradict another, BUT, everyone needs to remember that the health care industry is now the health care tax industry, or what they always were a business. I lived in MA until recently, my experience with the doctors was not only horrifying but humiliating. MA has the mandated health care, which is in my opinion a mess. You need to know what they are doing, why they are doing it and how much profit they are making.
You have to let go of the concept that the PCPs are there to help you, they aren't. They are mandated what to order for tests, prescriptions and care. I contracted Aspergillosis while caring for an elderly man whose family had abandoned him. It is an infection from an allergic reaction to mold or in my case penicillium or penicillin. When you hear about people who burn their houses down because of mold, pay attention that is the only way to get rid of it. I am healing because I am now in the care of an alternative physician whose specialty is this rare condition. If you are taking multiple meds, read what they are for, do not take anything anyone tells you for granted. Just my 2 cents worth.
