My doctor looked me in the eyes and told me, with absolute conviction, that eating a low fat high carb diet was the healthiest option, and that eating saturated fat would kill me.
ReplyDeleteI have since learned he was totally wrong. The opposite is true. I switched to a high fat low carb diet and dropped 20lbs I could not lose before and my blood-work is now perfect. The doctor refuses to believe I am eating the exact opposite of his advice.
So why should I believe the "expert" opinion of doctors about vaccination? How can I be sure they are not also 100% wrong about that?
