Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD, Medical students only get a one hour lecture on nutrition

http://fatnews.com/ Hi, this is Larry Hobbs @ FatNews.com.
Doctors get NO training about nutritional treatments in medical school, and almost NO training about nutrition.

Instead, they are taught to use drugs, drugs and more drugs.

Hi, this is Larry Hobbs @ FatNews.com

I will play an audio clip from a 2005 speech by Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD where he says that he has had 40 fourth-year medical students come to see him to learn about the nutritional therapy he discovered 50 years ago which cures schizophrenia in a majority of cases.

( Yes, really. The treatment involves using large doses of niacin plus other nutrients. )

When he asked them how much training about nutrition had they received in medical school, they said they only had a one (1) hour lecture on nutrition in medical school.

That's it.

A total of one hour.

So what do most doctors do throughout their entire career?

Give drugs and more drugs and more drugs!

Because that is what they were taught to do in medical school!

Many doctors also believe nutritional therapies must not be effective because they did not learn about them in medical school.

In other words, "If I don't know about it, it must not be important."

So if your doctor tells you that nutritional therapies are nonsense realize that they are not speaking out of knowledge, but rather they are saying this out of ignorance.

About 15 years ago, my mother asked her doctor, "How much calcium should I take?"

Her doctor replied, "Well ummm ummm ummm"

My mother said, "Should I take 500 mg or 1000 mg?"

Her doctor replied, "Well ummm ummm ummm"

My mother said to me, "You know, Larry, he never answered my question."

You know why, right?

Because he did not know the answer!

And he was unwilling to admit that he did not know nor was he willing to say, "I don't know, but call me in a couple days and I'll have the answer."

Nor was he willing to say, "I don't know. That's not my aread of expertise. You'll have to ask someone else."

Nor could he even say, "I don't know, but let's look it up here in this book."

To me, this is probably the simplest question you could possibly ask about nutrition and yet my mother's doctor had no idea what the answer was.

So, again, when your doctor only prescribes drugs for you and if your doctor tells you that nutritional therapies are nonsense realize they a saying this out of ignorance.

Here is an audio clip from a 2005 speech given by Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD at an Orthomolecular Conference.
