Your Doctor Knows What (S)He's Doing 3

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: PSYCHOTROPIC DRUGS

In every mass shooting over the past 30 years, the shooter has been linked to having mental health issues and is often taking enormous amounts of psychotropic medication. Most often the medication falls into the category of what is known as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, or SSRIs. Here is a really good article on this topic.

I am not saying that SSRIs cause people to commit mass murder... that is clearly not the case. Thousands of people are helped every day by these medications. 

What I am saying is that over-medication combined with mental illness is not a good recipe. 

And, so often, the doctors never look at the root causes of the mental illness. Often, they chalk up the root cause to some combination of genetics and brain chemistry, the origins of which are never questioned. 

What if I told you there is a clear connection between 

grain consumption and serious mental illness?

Read about it here. The connection is specifically with wheat. 
Remember, our modern wheat is not anything like what was eaten as recently as 150 years ago. 


Side Note:
So we have, just this week, linked the eating of grain to mental illness, Type 2 Diabetes, and high cholesterol. 
Hmmm...
