Doctors are very experientially biased. They don't believe in YOUR experience, unless it's part of a large body of data that has been compiled and analyzed.

If they are very good anti-experiential doctors, and you succeed in improving your health with something that is outside their definition of the norm, they'll tell you, honestly, that they don't understand what you are doing, but it seems to be working for you.

If not, they'll scold you, as did the doctors you went to for your lab work before oral surgery.

Very few doctors are willing or able to critique the information that they are given by drug reps and their journals. Nor do they have the time, as, pretty much all over the world, they are overworked and, for the most part, underpaid, when one considers the amount of time they put into their education, their practices and their continuing education. Which, of course, is usually more of the same.
