Why do doctors fear Atkins ?
What do they have to hide ?
It seems if you're doing well and losing weight- then they should be cheering you on.
After my friend introduced me to Atkins, I started reading and realized the opposition he received- and that's what turned me on to this.
The real kicker was that New York times article.

I am generally cynical about doctors, and with good reason.
One doctor nearly killed my mother in 1984 by over-dosing her on lidocaine by 10x- and she should never have been given the drug in the first place.

Two doctors misdiagnosed the stroke I had.

Yet another doctor called my father's minor heart attack a "stroke."

My spinal problems were chalked up to "depression."

Other doctors in this town have been in trouble with over-prescribing anti-depressants.

Then of course you have this idiot who mismatched the blood type on that 17 year old who needed the heart/lung transplant. Now she's dead.

That is why I drive an hour to see a doctor anymore.

Sorry guys, I am on a rant, better stop now-lol.

I figured if Dr. Atkins was standing against the medical establishment, then maybe it was worth listening to.
