      Replying to @gorskon

      Dr. Gorski, very respectfully, our so called "#healthcare" system is set up to reward the care of the sick, whereby profit is tied to "RVU" which generates more revenue the sicker someone is. This is as opposed to a model such as the VA system or Kaiser. Ask @KoushikReddyMD also.

      Replying to @agargmd @gorskon @KoushikReddyMD

      Ask Dr. Reddy why instead of doing an angioplasty on everyone with a pulse and a heart, he counsels people with #plantbased #lifestylemedicine to #treatthecause, rather than letting patients dig their own graves with their forks and knives. Hospitals are temples to illness.pic.twitter.com/zReGeYqlAz

      "We treat the cause" is another more or less meaningly catchphrase used to promote alternative medicine.

          Replying to @gorskon @KoushikReddyMD

          Again, Dr. Gorski, I couldn't disagree more. It's the catchphrase of preventive medicine which is an established medical specialty, as well as #lifestylemedicine which I am board certified in. Any pharmaceutical treatment should take a backseat to therapeutic lifestyle change.

          Yes it's interesting to look at the images that Drs Esselstyn and Ornish have of arteries opening back up. Not even statins can do that. Having said that, if I had cancer I would use the current state of the art treatments and avoid alternative medicine which can interfere w tx.
