Health Talk on Hawk With Carol Roberts, MD

(Newswire.net — April 30, 2014) Naples, Florida —

Roberts appeared on Chudnow’s radio talk show, Hawk Radio on April 23^rd, where she was interviewed and discussed her background and approach to the medicine that she had grown to know and need, not the one she was schooled in.  As a traditional doctor, and having studied through medical school, Roberts found herself getting sick more often.  The combination of stress and tireless hours certainly did not help, but being “chronically ill” seemed to be somewhat ironic being a student of medical science, where she was learning how to cure others. 

 

Medical school and post-graduate training was what Roberts symptomizes to be at the heart of our problems amongst doctors and their training today.  The pharmaceutical companies fund much of the educational material studied in school, and consequently channel much of the “solutions” towards their own drug products and reliance.  So doctors end up “sweeping under the drug medicines” when they seek answers to chronic problems and illnesses rather than diagnosing their patients’ lifestyles, diets, and overall well being in order to seek long lasting solutions that can cure, rather than just fix, a situation.

Doctors have traditionally quipped, “We don’t know what causes illnesses until the scientists figure it out”, which inherently puts the onus on pharmaceutical companies, since this is where the “scientists” reside.

 

Doctor Roberts sees the other major flaws in most medical practices as just plain “not listening to the patients”.  “No one knows a patient better than the patient”, so why not listen to them and hear what is ailing them?  The standard approach has been a limit of maybe “16 seconds” then the doctors are off with a “quick fix”, whereas Roberts describes her methods where she lets patients speak until they are finished or when they start repeating themselves.  Strange new concept? 

 

She also directs patients in a different direction that might use deductive reasoning to establish long term illnesses or allergies that can be where the problems are.  Working with Perlmutter in Naples, Florida, Roberts seems to be the ideal complement to his practice.  As a neurologist where Perlmutter hones in on Alzheimer’s Disease and talks about the “Grain Drain” (also the name of his book) on our society today with gluten issues that wreak havoc on our brains, he has become a leading expert and television celebrity doctor in this field. 

 

Processed foods are a big problem.  In describing her Amazon book, “Good Medicine: The Return to Common Sense”, Roberts talks about the motivation for writing this book as a self help for everyone that can read about all of the various symptoms and issues that most will encounter and be able to self diagnose their own maladies.  She has sections that are broken out by hormones and digestion for example, that reviews the “gut” and “colitis”.  She strongly urges that people need to have food allergy tests to analyze where much of the problems lie.  Whether it be gluten or dairy or nuts, our survival and long term health depends on understanding these simple facts: What to eat and what to not eat.  Everyone has different affects with foods and what is used to make those foods. Roberts will be hosting the following appearances on the 3^rd Thursday of each month at 6:30pm at:
