TheDoctorsTV and Ignorance About Raw Foods: The Real Appeal for Healthy Food Choices
Sometimes I really have to wonder if I am wasting my time when I watch TheDoctorsTV show this season. I am utterly disappointed and frustrated by the inferior quality of the information that the new panel is delivering to the public. But I suppose that is why I need to discuss it with you to help you sort through the stupid statements and find the truth in the midst of disinformation.
TheDoctorsTV Show Information and Discussion
Dr. Jim started the segment about Raw Foods with a video about his trip to a local restaurant to sample Raw Food dishes made by people who know what they are doing in the kitchen.

Dr. Jim LOVED the food, told everyone that he felt great, and said that the food felt nourishing and sustained him well into the next day. The rest of the panel members should have been open-minded enough to hear what Dr. Jim had experienced, but NO…they reacted as if someone was throwing flames in the studio!

I am appalled by Jillian and Dr. Lisa! Their attitudes and their words are indicative of EXTREME ignorance and the refusal to honestly look at this topic. They acted as if they were threatened by the facts, the personal experience of their fellow doctor, and the quality and great flavor of the Raw Food. Jillian should be banned from TV… Dr. Lisa needs a refresher course in Nutrition and Human Health before she opens her mouth again to spew out her inaccurate thoughts.
Dr. Travis and Dr. Drew appeared to be more open to Raw Foods and took a more balanced position on the matter based more on taste, nutrition, and the true value of a healthy Lifestyle which includes both Raw Foods and cooked foods depending upon the best way to utilize any specific food. I salute and recognize these two men for their intelligence.
Dr. Jim is probably the most knowledgeable doctor on the show about Human Nutrition and healthy foods. The rest of the panel eat a traditional dietary regimen that we now know is responsible for degeneration, cancer, a wide variety of diseases from diabetes to arthritis, so you cannot consider them to be experts on food or nutrition. They are sadly lacking in this department. They deal with disease much more often than wellness.
Jillian is overly opinionated with very little experience to back up her narrow-minded stance on these things. She doesn’t even know enough about water births to comment on that method of bringing healthy children into the world either! She is a detriment to this show and I hope they dismiss her, especially if the producers want to maintain any credibility at all.
Dr. Lisa left my heart feeling that she is an emotionally-crippled female who often speaks and yells before thinking about what she is saying. She was really out-of-line when condemning Water Births with the guest expert who was cool, calm, and collected while being fully aware of all the research. Dr. Lisa lost her cool and that in and of itself would convince me to never let her near another pregnant woman who is ready to deliver a child. I wouldn’t let her get anywhere close to me. She EXPECTS problems and that is the worst psychological and spiritual state of mind that any doctor or health care provider could offer any patient.
Look…I had my children with Home Births. My son was born with the presence of the midwife that instructed other midwives and she called my birth the ‘perfect example’ for instructing her students. I did all of my prenatal care and called her when I knew I was ready to deliver just in time for her to arrive at my home and prepare the setting perfectly. It was a beautiful birth experience. My husband and I delivered our daughter by ourselves the next time with our son’s babysitter being a phone call away. She was an ER physician. Again…no problems and another perfect birth with classical music and no trauma. I dare Dr. Lisa to continuously create that kind of environment for her patients!
Back to Raw Foods…
Jillian was far afield by saying that you don’t get enough nutrients with Raw Foods. Furthermore, she is under the illusion that people don’t know enough to be healthy by eating this way. How would she know? She is NO expert, so this is her misinformed opinion and you should ignore this ignorant individual. She should be willing to perform her due diligence, if she is going to put down some diet in front of millions of people. Dr. Lisa is poorly educated about the sources of the Vitamin B Complex, especially B12 which is readily available in Raw Foods and non-meat, non-dairy foods. She is dead wrong, so I hope that you ignore her stupidity, too.
I am more than willing to stake my reputation on the facts that Raw Foods and a macrobiotic diet with Whole Foods that are organic are superior in every way when compared with processed foods. If these doctors tell you anything different than this, you probably cannot believe many of the other things they are telling you due to their obvious ignorance on this matter. It’s unfortunate, but true!
I would dare the doctors and especially dizzy Jillian to observe the testing of people who eat Raw Foods, macrobiotic foods, and whole foods compared to people on a regular processed food diet using my EAV equipment. It would open their eyes and reveal their ignorance. But it would be worth it for me to show them the error of their ways with Dr. Jim, Dr. Drew, and Dr. Travis saying “We told you so!”.
