DESCRIPTION: If doctors can eliminate some of our leading killers by treating the underlying causes of chronic disease better than nearly any other medical intervention, why don't more doctors do it?

By treating the root causes of diseases with plants not pills, we can also avoid the adverse side effects of prescription drugs that kill more than 100,000 Americans every year, making them a leading cause of death. See my live presentation Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uprooting-the-leading-causes-of-death/).

For those surprised that policy makers wouldn't support such a common sense notion as preventive health, check out my video The McGovern Report (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-mcgovern-report/). What about medical associations? Medical Associations Oppose Bill to Mandate Nutrition Training (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/medical-associations-oppose-bill-to-mandate-nutrition-training/).

For those unfamiliar with Dr. Dean Ornish's landmark work, watch the story about my grandmother in my videos Resuscitating Medicare (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/resuscitating-medicare/) and Our Number One Killer Can Be Stopped (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/our-number-one-killer-can-be-stopped/).

There is another reason that may explain why the medical profession remains so entrenched. See my video The Tomato Effect (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-tomato-effect/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/lifestyle-medicine-treating-the-causes-of-disease/ and he'll try to answer it!
