If it’s ‘not FDA approved’....

The medical industry and pill pushers [physicians] hate fasting. the medical industry knos there is no money in it.

Well the pecuniary factor ($$) may play a part. But physicians, being trained and licensed in the “profession” (modern medical practice) were trained to restrict what they therapeutically offer to only certain things. "Gotta be safe. It's gotta work." If the procedure is not in medical textbooks and their med school professors didn’t teach it, it’s necessarily verboten. “We know better. We don’t go there.”

Then, for chemical (drug) therapies, for things not in the med textbooks, the standard, universal dictum is, “But it’s not approved by the FDA.”

As an Alzheimer's prophylaxis, intermittent fasting appears in no medical school textbook. There have been no big, double-blinded human clinical trials, so, necessarily it must be dismissed, especially as a recommended prophylaxis for Alzheimer’s, of all things. “That can’t work for that disease. I’m a doctor. I know.”

The medical priesthood reigns. We are all safer and healthier.

No. There's no conspiracy or evil intent to overdrug, mislead, and profit. If you ask any physician if they recommend proper diet and exercise, they'll emphatically agree. "Yes! That's what I prescribe my patients who listen!" And your doctor doesn't make an extra dime prescribing you a medicine he thinks you need. Nor is he the impetus of an unnecessary drug. You know who is? Us. The patient. "Can you put me on XYZ?"

Conspiracies and false accusations are the pits. Ignore them.
