Show the right direction Doctor!

I often listen to a talk radio program which is based on health and health problems.The host is a board certified chiropractor and also a nutritionist.Every morning starts at 8:00am for 4 hours.Since it is only on Saturday I listen to it very leisurely,listening along with finishing my morning chores.

First few times I listened to it because I thought it could be informative.Now I listen to it to make fun and just have some entertainment.What makes me laugh a lot is the way the doctor(the host) promotes the supplements and dietary formulas.Americans are already addicted to medicines and supplements and if they do follow this doctor's suggestions then people would become like a walking pharmacy.For every thing and any health problem this doctor asks to take some kind of vitamin supplement.For a change some times he also asks to eat certain vegetable but that is very rare.

His talk show makes me think that how perverted the medical profession has become where doctors are just to earn money by promoting the pharmaceutical companies and medical stores.It is a travesty and that should be stopped.He asks to take those vitamin supplements which you can get by eating the proper food source.Even a novice knows that under normal condition body can absorb vitamin and mineral from food sources better than supplements.

According to my mind he is making mockery of himself .I dont know how many people follow his suggestion but there are certainly people who are following his suggestion because he gets callers every once in a while.
Today he moved one step further,he was suggesting parents to give their kids a kind of daily supplement .According to him since kids do not like to eat vegetables ,so to provide them enough vitamin parents should give this supplement.That was too much for me to digest so I turned off the radio and looked at my daughter ,thinking what supplement should I start giving her !

    I always used to consult doctor before taking any step related to my health or weight loss.
