This is an excerpt which most on this forum will know and believe:-

Natural molecules, vital to our body's normal function, cannot be patented. Pharmaceutical corporations, therefore, have little interest in the restoration of health through the correction of hormonal, vitanutrient, toxic or other biochemical disorders.

In fact, the success of any simple, inexpensive and natural medical intervention reduces their profits. To maximize profits, which is the corporate imperative, they must market high-profit alien molecules (including alien hormone-like molecules), that will bring some kind of improvement. Unfortunately, with their billions of research and advertising dollars, pharmaceutical corporations exert control over medical information at all levels--from the studies that are performed, to the content of journals, to the opinions of experts (and congressmen), to the FDA that they fund, to the CME conferences doctors attend, to the recommendations made by the professional medical organizations that they fund, right down to the drug salesman/woman bringing lunch, drug samples, and trinkets to your doctor's office. Doctors could reduce this influence, but have chosen to take the money instead.

Pharmaceutical corporations have so perverted the medical system that doctors are taught to view every symptom and disorder as an indication for a patented drug. Doctors therefore fail to understand the body as a complex biomolecular

system. They fail to seek or correct the cause, which is, in most cases, a hormone, vitanutrient, toxic, genetic, or other biomolecular deficiency/disorder. The use of patented drugs for every symptom is encouraged, while the optimization of nutrients and hormones is discouraged as ineffective or dangerous. So among physicians, including endocrinologists, there is:

1. Ignorance of the importance of optimal levels of vitanutrients and hormones in human biochemistry and physiology, which is tantamount to ignorance of human biochemistry and physiology in general.

2. Ignorance of the complexity of the hormonal system and the many interactions between the various hormones.

3. Failure to see aging as a destructive process/disease, and therefore failure to see the loss of hormones with aging as deleterious. Since they think that the loss of hormones with age has no negative effects, they think that low hormone levels must not be a problem in general, and perhaps are better for us!

Majority of us here have the experience of doctor not being able to understand our symptoms and their connection lack of vits/nutrients/hormones. Any of us benefitting any of them :iron, B's, D, etc etc understand the necessity of them. But trying to get the doc understand or believe your symptom relieved by just proper supplements is sometimes just impossible. They simply do not believe in it even though for exemple vits are essential for life.

Lack of understanding, as you quoted above, is conserning. That leads to compromised health and wellbeing resulting in illnesses that need to be treated by pharmaceutical drugs. By ignoring the original cause illnesses are created and forced to be treated by what we call healthcare if though its far from it.

Tagging linda96 The medical training in this area is dire, and it is madness and so lacks common sense that I cannot understand why Dr's and especially Endocrinologists cannot 'think' for themselves and work things out. They seem to rely so heavily on text book treatment, it makes you wonder how medicine ever developed! Oh yes...through corrupt pharma's!
