how many doctors still treat AIDS, diabetes, or most other diseases based on a knowledge of the four humors?

Have you never heard of "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?"
Get real. If I break my leg, I'm not going to treat it with chicken soup!

so when christianpfc says "I don't take any medicine ... with normal healthy food you don't need anything else" and you reply "This is absolutely correct" perhaps what you really mean is "sometimes" or "usually" rather than "absolutely"?
forgive me if I am not "real" enough for you - I am just a simple native English speaker trying to understand other people's usage of the language

Nonsense. Merely hyperbole.

You're forgiven.

US doctors get very little in the way of nutrition education in med school. That's why, if needed, they send you to a nutritionist.

That is what Steve Jobs believed until it was too late for effective treatment.
diseases that can easily be cured (like my last diarrhoea, from taking antibiotics to a significant improvement only 12 hours, efficient and cheap),
diseases that are difficult to cure (or the cure does not really help the patient, but is a great way for pharmaceutical companies to make money, like cancer and HIV - uncurable at the moment, but expensive medicine is necessary to delay the outbreak of AIDS),
ailments due to lifestyle choices, that can partially be cured by medicine (e.g. problems due to drinking, smoking, unhealthy food, lack of exercise; it would be best to give up the unhealthy lifestyle, but people prefer to take medicine to partially cure the effects)
