Medical students should be required to read information on vaccines from the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR), now rebranded as the Prescribers' Digital Reference, a premier, trusted resource providing FDA-approved, full-label prescribing information for healthcare professionals. It serves as an authoritative guide to pharmaceuticals, including drug dosages, adverse reactions, and interactions, currently accessible via digital tools like PDR.net and mobilePDR.

I'd suggest looking into the history of the women who started the dietetics Association. Their thoughts on nutrition were steered by Dr. john Harvey Kellog and his Battle Creek Sanitarium. Although a lot of good came out of the formal education, their thoughts on herbivore versus omnivore consumption were their predominant dietary advise continues to be pushed and are backed by all the Big Food companies.

Agree. Many allopathic medical offices have an RD on staff. The RDs are not there to support optimal health, rid you of type 2 diabetes, get off your meds and so forth…they are there to support your medical plan, not to get rid of it. Medical professionals will not get proper nutritional training.

LOL yeah. Anything related to KELLOG is pure evil.

Except clinical style nutrition will kill you fast.

Will Med (Pharma) Schools teach, as they do to Registered Nutritionists, that a low cholesterol, high veggie, low fat, high fiber diet is healthy? That's what's been killing everyone.

Those poisons are taught as healthy. Pharma Schools are a primary programming node for the global Control Grid.

Agree! Adding in 40 hours of nutrition education is not going to help. The best thing to do is to stay away from the allopathic sick care model and big food industry.

When my keep-everything Mom died, I was SHOCKED to find scripts from the doctor in 1952 telling her to feed me karo syrup to replace breastmilk. Years later, when the internet came around, I decided to see if anyone was talking about having been similarly poisoned, back in the day. What did I find? THEY'RE STILL ADVISING THAT. Virtually everything taught in med school is industry-driven B.S... "Doctors don't understand what causes [insert name of ANY disease, here.] Hence, there's No Cure." But hey, they'll gladly prescribe you some symptom-relieving drugs [that happen to worsen the underlying condition, ssssh!!] which you can buy [$$$$] for the rest of your life." How are we to expect any REAL nutrition will be taught? I know some people like veganism, but how neatly does that fit with the desire of the Powers That Be to replace expensive-to-produce meats with bugs, processed fake meats, etc? And guess what. People will still think doctors are essentially GOD, that "ask your doctor" is a valid thing to do... and that the answer/advice will be untouchable.

Wonderful that the shocking realization that the food we put into our mouths actually has some effect on how we feel and function is finally reaching medical schools! The problem, however, is that most of the current nutrition education is 1) still based on calorie counting -- which ignores the complex way the body processes different substances, 2) still caught up in the lie that fats make a person fat (due to calories) and that all fat is basically generic greasy stuff, thus should be avoided, and 3) (another lie) that a plant based diet is preferable and valid over the long term. I sure hope that the next step comes quickly, to realize that 1) animal fats are fundamental to vibrant health and emotional resilience, serve as the body's primary fuel for durable energy, satisfy appetites thus preventing overeating, and more, as shown in long term studies of primitive societies 2) excess carbohydrates - especially refined and factory processed -- are readily converted to fat and promote obesity 3) consumption of vegetable seed oils sets every body up for metabolic syndrome, aka diabetes, cardiovascular disease, systemic inflammation (hence emotional chaos), cancer and more 4) meat including organs like liver, kidney, heart, provides the complete proteins all bodies need, along with eggs and clean raw milk, and 5) the food we eat determines the microbes established in the gut which in turn determine pretty much every other aspect of our health. So add more butter to your foods, enjoy some carbs but not an overload, eat real foods like meat (grown on pasture not CAFOS) with fresh and lacto-fermented veggies, and gratefully enjoy being a human BEING (vis human doing). Maybe this will lead to the esoteric enlightenment that diseases are not drug deficiencies?
