Your Doctor Knows What (S)He Is Doing 5

This week, we are going to look at the most common things doctors do to line their wallets and "avoid unnecessary liability risks in diagnosis and prescription of medications." Naturally, these missed diagnoses and faulty advice result in unnecessary prescriptions for people or faulty courses of "corrective action."

In other words, what the doctor says is not always accurate. 

There are two possible reasons the doctors are so inaccurate: either they are voluntarily being insidious for their own gain, or they simply do not know any better. By the way, inaccuracies also come from the nursing community: Registered Nurses and Nurse-Practitioners, as well as Physicians' Assistants will all spout the same Bovine Scatology. But why?

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. - Hanlon's razor
Or... in this case... faulty training. The paradox of why so many medical professionals stick to false knowledge is not easily explained by malice. It is easily explained by inaccurate teaching being done in medical training schools, as well as inaccurate studies being accepted as "science" by the American Medical Association.


Today's topic: ADD / ADHD

The link is... you could guess if you have read my blog posts this week... consumption of grains.
Here's a good link.

I am not minimizing the role of other chemicals (toxins ingested by mothers during pregnancy and consumption of food additives and colorings) in the role of ADD / ADHD. 

I am saying that HFLC or ancestral diet plans, along with exercise, have yielded spectacular results on kids "diagnosed" with ADD / ADHD.

But, if you want to keep your kids hopped up on the latest drug that might turn them into a mentally ill, sinus-infected, asthma suffering, type 2 diabetic who is overweight and has high cholesterol... then by all means, keep feeding them the crap!


Side note:
I would never take the advice of a doctor who wants to "diagnose" ADD/ADHD and not address diet primarily.
I would never take the advice of a doctor who wanted to push drugs such as ritalin for a child.
I would never take the advice of a doctor who recommends eating grains, including whole grains, on any topic.
