I agree, yet I don't like the doctor perspective either. So much of what they prescribe is fueled by economics. In addition, the fact that most doctors aren't deeply trained in nutrition completely destroys my faith in that aspect entirely.

Drs. Cifu and Prasad have done research on what they call medical reversal (when a particular therapy is found to be worse than the previous therapy or does nothing at all) and have concluded that the rate of reversal is 35-40%. So your doctor isn't doing fantastically in actual medical therapies either.
