If Visabic™ is so good, why doesn’t my doctor recommend it?
The average doctor is very knowledgeable about drugs, symptoms related to illnesses, side effects of drugs, etc., but limited knowledge about herbs or other natural products. The presumption is that our doctors are exposed to and evaluate all treatment options when confronted with a health concern. The conclusion is that if they are unfamiliar with a remedy, supplement, or course of treatment then they can not recommend it. Doctors for the most part are taught to treat the symptoms of the disease and are unaware of other natural products that would attack the root of the problem.
The majority of information every doctor gets is supplied by the pharmaceutical industry or by journals strongly influenced by this industry. The pharmaceutical industry has a vested interest in not providing information to doctors about the benefits of supplements. People taking more supplements equates to people taking less prescription medications.
In addition the reality is doctors are too busy, they simply have no time to set aside to research natural treatments. If they hear about a good result from a patient using supplements they simply say something like, “Well, it looks like what you did helped so keep it up.” (we’ve heard many stories like this).
The problem is that they leave it at that. There is no further investigation as to how they might be able to incorporate what was successful for this patient to other patients with similar problems.
