true true. However you can never expect to get a natural health
solution from an MD either. Why? because its not their "speciality"
I once read a thread on Sci. med. This cat was making a point that only
6% of first year residents at Boston Gen could differentiate a basal
cell carcinoma, while 100% of Barber students in Mass could. Thus a
thumbnail of why health care costs are a staggering percentage of the
GNP.
Some MD defended the bungling incompetence of the residents because
they had yet to pick their organ of choice and if that organ was not
the skin, well then it doesnt matter if as a trained Medical Doctor you
can differentiate this all to common health problem.
So to expect that your MD could or would recommend a natural solution (
vitamin, herb, mineral, other botanical) for any given health
problem...well that borders on hysteria.
Besides he or she might become a target of Stephen Barret ifn he does
I think that trained monkeys could do as good a job and an MD.
If you send them through college, then med school and 3 years or more of
residency.

set up a medical techician with a computer and a medical program. Input
symptoms, output a probable condition and a prescription.
Don't forget, you have to teach the computer physical exam, how to do a
medical history, etc. And you have to provide the medical program with years
of experience.
Quoted message said:It seems that that all an allopathic MD does now, is collect a list of
symptoms, guess at a possible diagnosis and prescribe the appropriate
drug based on the current AMA procedures manual.
The AMA doesn't have a procedures manual. Actually, it is more like, based
on the history, signs and symptoms, come up with a list of possible
diagnosis (called a differential diagnosis), determine what tests or
additional parts of the physical exam or history would help determine what
the problem is, determine what the problem is, come up with a reasonable
treatment plan, and carry it out, all the while monitoring the patient for
side effects, effectiveness of the treatment, new problems, etc.

ignore the patients nutrtional status completely or suggest they lose
weight by cutting back fats or suggest that they cut salt from their
diet. Those seem to be the only nutrients that doctors care about, fats
and salt.
Fats cause heart attacks and salt can raise blood pressure in some people.
Both heart attacks and high blood pressure kill. however, doctors are
concerned about vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbs, etc., too.
