Summary: <p class="p1">In this time of snowflakes, or those who cannot experience one moment of discomfort in their lives, one of the worst trends, health-wise, is that of folks <em>relying- actually worshipping medical clinics and standard doctors! </em></p><br> <p class="p2"> </p><br> <p class="p1">I have nothing against M.D.’s, they are wonderful to have around when you have stopped a bullet or been run over by a bus.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>They are trained, since the Civil War (which, by the way snowflakes, was a war where white men fought and died to free black slaves), to save men that have been traumatized dramatically, and help them to survive, ultimately to return to the battle field.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Really, this is when modern western medicine really got in its stride.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Emergency medicine!</p><br> <p class="p2"> </p><br> <p class="p1">But, in terms of staying healthy, getting healthy, or regaining health- sorry, it is <em>all</em> up to <strong>you. </strong></p><br> <p class="p2"> </p><br> <p class="p1">I think this is the whole disconnect, right there.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Nowadays, people want to think that medical doctors and clinics can save them, literally.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Save them from themselves!<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The vast majority of people do <strong>not </strong>want to change what they eat, and their lifestyle, one bit.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>They want to continue to eat cereal for breakfast, but they will use skim milk, since that will save them.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>(Low fat)</p><br> <p class="p2"> </p><br> <p class="p1">They also want to eat fast food for lunch, and sometimes they will eat a salad with the supplied soybean rancid seed oil dressing, washing it down with an artificially sweetened beverage, and having a bun or some other GMO crap topped with loads of more rancid seed oil, in the form of margarine. (Because it’s low fat, don’t you know) </p><br> <p class="p2"> </p><br> <p class="p1">Supper can be a thick crust, Chicago style pizza, since you have been “good” all day, eating low fat, and watching those calories!<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>You are starving, so you eat the whole thing- after all, you walked in your cushioned sneakers at the mall for a good 30 minutes this morning.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>You stay up late, watching CNN and feeling virtuous, since you are doing so well- and you can’t wait for your doctor’s appointment at the clinic next week, since you know you will do so well, since you follow all of their recommendation to the letter!<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>You just want to ask your doctor why you can’t lose weight; you just keep yo-yoing up and down- and you have constant headaches, and then there is your acid reflux that is becoming chronic.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>You are so depressed as well…</p><br> <p class="p2"> </p><br> <p class="p1">What a surprise at the clinic when the doctor raises alarm bells- your health appears to be horrible!<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Your triglycerides are sky high, and he recommends a statin, high blood pressure medication- and- oh yes, it’s time for a colonoscopy, along with a series of tests that need to be scheduled, since you are over 50 now, and <em>everyone </em>over 50 needs lots of medications and continual tests, since otherwise you can never stay alive.</p><br> <p class="p2"> </p><br> <p class="p1">You go home with your bags and bags of pills you got from the pharmacy.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>You feel virtuous!<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>You are doing everything right!<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>You eat lots and LOTS of whole grains, not too much white flo</p>
