Even Nutritional Medicine Can Cause Devastating Damage

I just watched the BBC report where nutritional therapy caused brain damage to a person. This was by a graduate from a nutritional therapy slimming program.

It is clear that the truth was spun and comments taken out of context. And the expert that stated that giving more Iodine will cause hyperthyroidism is just hypocritical. She seems has never had the chance of hearing about homeostasis.

Having said all that this does not removes the fact that how bad can things go even with “natural therapy.” Even when only using water, food and food supplements. Mainstream medicine is not immune of such disasters. US Institute of Medicine 1999 report: To Err is Human reports 44-99 thousands US hospital deaths because of medical mistakes!

However there is no excuse for causing such a devastating damage. I think if we truly believed in nutritional medicine, we should train new graduate well. In mainstream medicine this is what happen. A licensed physician passes through years of directly supervised training. It is my opinion that this should be emulated.
