doctors, money, and veganism
i grew up sick and poor. from 12-18 i only went to school part time, and had doctors appointments about once a month. i met with many doctors. i went through many tests. i learned not to trust them when most of them assumed i was faking (until they found the underlying cause, then they assumed i was exaggerating the symptoms).
my experiences with them over the years may have given me a head start on not trusting everything that comes out of their mouths, especially because I had multiple bad reactions to prescribed medication. not everyone has this background, and so they take their doctor at their word. they gave me a pill and told me to go to school, they told me that girls just have stomach pain sometimes, they told me that i should stop whining and maybe lose some weight and see how I felt after that (it didn’t help, as I was just told to restrict carbs).
most of them are taught to treat symptoms with medication rather than assist with nutritional prevention, not to discuss nutrition with patients, to keep people coming back, to get as many tests charged to their insurance as possible. they are given incentives to keep their waiting rooms full and see you as little as possible. this is against the values physicians should have, but it is what capitalism teaches, protects, and encourages.
doctors are not taught nutrition, at least not much. General practitioner training is outdated. US medical schools are teaching less than recommended and in the best cases they are spending 25-30 hours of their entire education on nutrition. only 1/5 american medical schools require a nutrition course be taken at all.
this is not a coincidence.
the fact that so many people respond to veganism with some variation of ‘my doctor said i need meat’ is terrifyingly unprecedented.
it is an negligent suggestion at best, and dishonest at worst. these are the people who have intellectual authority, who are supposed to do their best to know what’s best for us, who we are supposed to trust with our lives. they have undermined and compromised by the industries that profit from our suffering.
i know someone who was told by their doctor that they should go off of their vegan diet because of zinc. you can be a vegan and still get zinc but now they’re convinced otherwise. i know someone who was raised vegan who was then told they need meat because of their blood type despite the fact it’s been debunked for years. i know someone who has been told they need tons of iron and can only get appropriate amounts from meat. this is objectively untrue and less expensive than meat (potatoes! bread! beans! legumes!).
are their doctors willfully ignorant, improperly educated, or in the pocket of those that would see us pay to be in pain and die too soon?
bit of all three? who’s to say.
don’t take my word for it, I’m not a doctor or even an expert, but don’t just take your doctor’s either. it is clear that there are too many doctors who are allowed to be ignorant/have fallen for meat/dairy propaganda. and why shouldn’t they. the success of meat/dairy campaign of misinformation (”our product is doubt” as they like to say) is next level.
if you think you need meat to survive because of an illness, think about why that is, where/who you learned it from. then please, look for a second opinion. vegan doctors are out there and they are only growing as the research does.
i spent my saturday morning researching and writing just because i believe the world needs you in it. also because i believe that the people you were taught to trust are not always, or even often, looking out for you.
save the animals, save yourself.
Make America Healthy Again
Under this administration, HHS is done handing out tricks. Instead, we’re delivering the best kind of treats: MAHA WINS! Happy Halloween 🎃
Remember when health meant healing and not profit?

Hey Indiana..actions have consequences on your revenue.
You know a question I bet a lot of people don't ask?
When you compare black market and drug cartel drugs and deaths associated then versus big pharmaceutical companies, who actually kills more? Cuz I'm almost guaranteeing it's the big pharmaceutical companies. How could drug cartels even get close with the marketing big pharmaceutical companies use? Do you know how much of big pharms budget goes to advertising alone in America? It would rock your mind. Yet our government goes after the drug cartels. It really shows it doesn't matter if you murder as long as it's on the books... and regulated by the FDA. I am directly saying the FDA murders.
