Xena, Yes, the mainstream health system is just big business in disguise. I talked to one recent medical school graduate and he said they had 1 lecture on nutrition in his entire time in med school. It's unbelievable. Things are starting to change a little, but Big Pharma basically controls medical education, and their pills are the treatment for everything. Prevention? Nutrition? They've never heard of it. And if a doctor veers away from the 'standard of care' (ie pills) they risk getting sued, losing their license, etc. I would stay way from the whole system, if at all possible.
Years ago I remember an interview with the oldest woman in the world, who lived in France and was something like 118 years old. They asked her what was her secret to such amazing longevity, and she said --> 'Stay away from doctors'. So some good advice.
Btw, that lady grew up in Arles, and actually remembered seeing Van Gogh walking to and from his daily outdoor painting sessions (!) She was just a little girl, but remebered that he was 'ugly and ill tempered', lol. But imagine being healthy for way over a century. There are actually places around the world like that, where a large percentage of people live past 100 and are remarkably healthy. Gundry talks about these 'blue zones', and one is a small town south of Naples called Acciaroli (below). The Mediterranean diet is believed to be a key reason for their great health and longevity.
