Yes. The drs. speak of correct exercise, eating right, proper stress management and "healthy habits" in general as cure-alls and blame illnesses on lack of doing them properly, correctly or appropriately. The problem with that logic is that you are set up for failure from the very beginning. You can never do any of them "well enough" to fend off illness and disease. It's just not that simple.
It's ludicrous. Of course it's good to eat right, exercise appropriately, manage your stress, diet, and mental health appropriately. Everything should be in balance. That is true for any human being so it's the logic that can't fail and the "solution" that can't be wrong. Unfortunately, that means we on the other end (the patients) ARE wrong.
If they and of those factors are out of whack well, statistically it's more of a set-up for potential failure--of course. But it's ridiculous to blame illness on ANY of those and equally ridiculous to say that if we only do "x", then we'll be better.
It's an incredible cop-out to finding a real cause or cure to an illness and a bad habit of both the medical community and our society. If not clear cause or cure is known, BLAME THE PATIENT!
Of course it's crap. But historically that's how we've treated sick patients...
Course I don't have any references to cite at the moment or anything like that so ...it's all IMHO!!!
LOL
