To some practitioners all health issues are about nutrition and
toxins, because that is what they treat. The standard medical
paradigm, however, recognizes nutritional and toxic diseases, but also
infectious, auto-immune, degenerative, anatomical, genetic,
developmental, metabolic, psychological, and physiological causes of
illness. We recognize and study the influence of diet and lifestyle on
health and disease. It is yet another strawman (a demonstrably wrong
and unfair one) to claims that mainstream medicine is all about drugs
and surgery and for some reason ignores certain disease etiologies.
Just read any standard medical textbook, or browse the medical
literature, and you will see that this is true.
