(NaturalNews) Proper nutrition is vital for maintaining good health and warding off illness. Nutrition can also play a pivotal role in healing illness of all kinds, including heart disease, diabetes and cancer - the three leading illnesses which cause deaths. It is thus shocking that our doctors - whom most people turn to for advice on diet and nutrition - receive little to no training on the subjects in medical schools.
Unfortunately that is so true! Dr.'s have maybe 1 class in nutrition and then the focus is on Big Pharma during their practice. Byron Richards talks about the same thing often.
Too many people trust Dr.'s giving prescriptions and nutrition advice without questioning if they are really going to provide the REAL solution. Start with your diet and what goes in your body is the first place to evaluate, not just throw drugs on the problem. The drugs that are prescribed cause too many side effects that just make the problem worse.
Lots and lots of doctors offices are located next to pharmarcies while very few are located next to health foods or supplement stores. It should be just the opposite.

Mindsets rarely change if profit is the main motive for remaining in business: ie the cancer industry for one.
Nutritional Medicine or Orthomolecular Medicine is slowly gaining ground with many Medical Doctors joining its ranks.
Right you are about the hit job by the totally unqualified hitman Simon Flexner for his monied masters. We mustn't leave out Pasteur and his germ theory winning out over Bechamp's more accurate but less profitable cellular terrain theory. Or the role of the IG Farben drug cartel either. All in all, maim-stream medicine has quite the dark history:
