The new wave of doctors may have Nutritional Training.

One of our FM doctors recently distributed this link - it is a community of medical students pushing for training in nutrition - and a whole lot more.

Thanks CD - some interesting work going on.

I am encouraged.......a big groundswell movement away from drugs and towards informing on lifestyle for optimum health,

I really hope this continues to grow in strength,the way forward I feel.Looking at the whole person rather than a collection of symptoms! Thanks for the link.x

Thank you, I have requested their newsletter. Encouraging to see green shoots of change popping up all over e.g. Monsanto just lost a huge court case:

'This is big! Monsanto is being held accountable for failing to warn consumers that exposure to RoundUP weed killer causes cancer! The jury found that Monsanto acted with malice, oppression, or fraud and should be punished. '

Mmm..... I regret to say I temped for one of their subsidiaries in the UK - which is how I became somewhat skeptical of drug companies.

Hi CD thank you for the link...

you say...

''it is a community of medical students pushing for training in nutrition - and a whole lot more''.

...about time too, the GP 's and staff I have spoken too at the arrhythmia clinic have no interest in discussing food and lifestyle changes that might help my AF, I feel I am banging my head against a brick wall at times.

Dr Gupta understands we have to consider all aspects of the body not just manage a condition, I wish there were more like him.

There are and they are growing in number. Part of the problem in Arrythmia clinic is funding for what is seen as a none life threatening chronic condition. We need more political pressure for better treatments AND prevention of chronic conditions and help for people to i pleme them, this is what our organisation is about.
