This is a very interesting and helpful post . THANKS !

I UNDERSTAND That this statement is no doubt included for legal reasons:

Please check with your physician before starting any new treatments, including dietary changes. Alternative or holistic health procedures are meant to be complimentary process to traditional medical practices, and not used in place of them.


However, it is absurd to not THINK for yourself, and to have ask a doctor his opinion on using apple cider vinegar. He no doubt has an opinion but MOST OFTEN it has NOTHING to do with having studied the subject. The vast majority of medical doctors do NOT study nutrition or health, therefore

they are NOT QUALIFIED to advise anyone on the subject.

Do you ask your lawn boy for advice on electrical wiring ? Do you ask an exclusively German speaking man for help understanding your French lessons? Then WHY ask a medical doctor for health advice??........their specialty is sickness and disease, NOT health. PLEASE BE aware of this. Please be aware of the continued brain-washing we receive in America to respect medical doctors when such respect is generally NOT warranted.

I also recommend this book: Confessions of a Medical Heretic by Robert Mendelsohn, MD

This is from an amazon.com review of his book:
Each chapter (there are nine) of this book has many truths. These truths are not out-of-date and will probably remain relevant into the far future. Here are just three examples:

1) "Every drug stresses and hurts your body in some way."
2) "A healthy society is characterized by strong, positive family relationships and subsequent minimal need of doctors."
3) "Doctors are not trained to attack the core of any problem, merely to suppress symptoms."

Sometimes, the author juxtaposes two truths to make a point. My favorite: "All their [that is, doctors'] intentions may be good, but we all know what the road to Hell is paved with."

What I really noticed about this book is the author's strong opinions. Here, again, are three examples:

1) "Doctors in general should be treated with the same degree of trust as used-car salesmen."
2) "When I meet a doctor, I generally figure I'm meeting a person who is narrow-minded, prejudiced, and fairly incapable of reasoning and deliberation."
3) "Get used to the idea right away that no single system can or should claim to have an exclusive fix on the dynamics of health."


Happy reading ! ; )
