Yes, but the point is that there is no way of knowing what those "limitations" are specifically. Sure, good can be gleaned from anything - but the lack of knowledge to go toe to toe with such a representative as a well educated doctor would seems to me to be the issue.
Their position of authority or expertise can hardly be challenged by citing this and that study that in the eyes of the regular PB consumer, legitimately challenges their claims...or even personal experience when the mission of the expert is to field all questions and dispense medical advice the same way they are advising doctors to dispense their corporate medical advice.
Heck, most doctors just shove a pill in the newest and latest version and repeats the mantra they've been fed. Why should we be shoveled the same - and many without even knowing that we're being shoveled upon?
