<<Our doctors are trained to treat with one of two weapons, drugs or surgery.>> That's a gross oversimplification and basically incorrect. <<They are largely ignorant of or discount the foundational concepts of nutritional physiology.>> Are you saying doctor's aren't trained in biochemistry and metabolic pathways? Those are the "foundational concepts" of nutritional physiology, and they're a basic first year required course at every US medical school. I'd argue that the building blocks are well-ingrained, what the training lacks is a more rigorous grounding in the application of those concepts. All doctors receive training in nutrition, if they choose to sleep through the course (because no one will pay them for applying those concepts when they get into the real world), isn't the vaunted "private medical delivery system" as much to blame (if not more) than the educational process?

your ignorance is matched only by your arrogance. infant mortality, mens life expectancy, womens life expectancy, potential years of life lost, health care spending trends, total health care spending per capita, access to care, continuity of care, on and on and on, the US is way behind many other nations who spend far less and who have a single payor plan. i simply have no need to carefully argue with someone as ignorant and arrogant as you.

as far as killing goes, you might be intersted to know (were you not so pig headed) that the US ranks 5th out of 5 countries studied for avoiding injuries to the patients from the care that is intended to help them•Overall Country Ranking*–United Kingdom (1)–Australia (2.5)–New Zealand (2.5)–Canada (4)–United States (5) I suppose it must be all the government intervention accounting for that.
