We need to pool medical data ASAP - Great Video

"What we think of as our health is more like an interaction between our bodies, our genomes, our choices and our environment”. ~John Wilbanks

 

 

Taking a Functional Medicine Approach to your health involves looking at this interaction as it applies to you specifically and taking appropriate action steps. This is a Great Talk; bringing more evidence to support the fact that WE have the most control over our health future.

Movie Trailer:

The video below is Dr. Ben Goldacre at a recent TEDmed conference. The title of the talk is "What doctors don't know about the drugs they prescribe"; it really says it all. Most Medical Doctors do not know the truth about human health. When they say things like "diet or lifestyle doesn’t really matter with your condition" it’s because they don’t really know how it does. Did you know that Medical Doctors get absolutely no clinical nutrition in med school? If they want to learn about nutrition they have to do it on their own. This video shows that research is skewed toward profitability. If 5 studies show that a drug or food additive is safe and 5 studies show that it is harmful how does the peer review process decide what studies to publish? You would hope that since we’re talking about science they would do more research or choose in favor of what’s best for human health but in our current system profitability wins almost every time.
