Yea, it's funny with the medical profession these days. I have friends that have health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, etc...I ask these questions of them all the time....did your doctor talk to you about nutrition? Lifestyle change? Maybe refer you to someone that can teach you how to read a label at the grocery store? Maybe starting to exercise a little? Address certain nutritional deficiencies you might have that could be contributing to your condition?
The answer is always the same....NOPE, they just told me to take these pills and come back in 6 months.
And I have friends that have had covid and went to the doctor. The advice they got? There's nothing we can do for you. Go home and self quarantine. If you see your lips turning blue, get to the ER. How about...again....giving them some advice to boost their immune system to help fight this thing.....crickets from the doctors......so if I suggest some vitamins to help get his immune system operating at its optimal efficiency, I hardly see how that is irresponsible advice (ivermectin aside).
Its no wonder the old people, especially in nursing homes, are so susceptible. Most never go outside and get any appreciable amount of sunlight (read d3) and are deficient in it. Same reason they say covid is racist because it disproportionately affects African Americans more. Well most African Americans are deficient in d3 due to the melanin in their skin blocking the sun. How easy would it be to fix a d3 deficiency for these people? Their doctor sure isn't going to mention it.
