I did mention that doctors often give dietary and exercise advice. Clearly, these can help with obesity, blood pressure, etc.

Hi, the annoying thing that Bugs me is that with most GPs……..They place a patient on medication that Halts illness and generally speaking(in most cases) do not follow trough with a Programme of any sort to Reduce medication, the result being side effects cause other Problems calling for more medication ending with some patients taking 20+drugs daily until their Demise. No wonder people turn to Nutrition experts of Which Patrick Holford leads the field in their effort to seek a Way Out.

Dietary advice john, are you actually being serious!
besides when does physio and talking therapies ever help metabolic syndrome.
This is clearly nonsense.
You pulled a comment right out of context there.

Doctors, well all they have is drugs

That is clearly nonsense. Are you saying doctors don’t recommend exercise, give dietary advice, refer for physio and talking therapies, etc?

I was speaking to a newly trained GP just yesterday and she told me that the only way to lower LDL is with Statins and they only reason high LDL occurs is due to genetics
Looks like another generation of GPs with a very poor education. This is just unbeleivable

may I add, isnt it clear to you J that JF acheived much better results for himself without talking to a doctor or dietician. In my opinion a dieticians knowledge on diet and disease processes is pretty limited. Doctors, well all they have is drugs. One to lower LDL, one to increase I.S., one to lower blood pressure, whilst never focusing on what is driving these imbalances.
Why advise someone to seek help from someone who cant help.

I love it johnw that you do not respond to my previous entry due to the fact that you cannot see the wood for the trees. Listen john, you cannot breakdown life into a billion pieces in order to study them and expect to understand how they actually interact in reality.
i did not give advice, I merely pointed JF in direction of interest.
