Sherry A. Rogers MD, who I believe is now retired, was a board certified by an American Board of Family Practice, board certified by the American Board of Environmental Medicine, a Fellow of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology and a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition. She had been in solo private practice in environmental medicine for over 38 years in Syracuse, NY where she saw patients from all over the world. She lectured in Oxford, in Canada, in China and in several other countries where she had taught well over 100 physician courses, published over a dozen books including the landmark book "Detoxify or Die" ( Prestige Publishing), 20 scientific papers, textbook chapters, was environmental medicine editor for Internal Medicine World Report, received the American Academy of Environmental Medicine Rinkle Teaching Award for teaching excellence. She had a referenced web newsletter for 19 years, a non-patient consulting service, a lay and professional lecture service, and was a guest on over 100 radio shows a year and more.
For instance, you could get a telephone consultation with her even by being a non-patient. That was really outstanding for a specialist and family physician.
She was not afraid to condemn physicians who prescribed statins for elevated cholesterol, and stated in her book " The High Blood Pressure Hoax" that high blood pressure medications are down-right dangerous. The first book that she wrote is entitled "Is Your Cardiologist Killing You?".
I have half a dozen of her books and I learned a lot. From the info contained in her books, I have more knowledge on some topics than some doctors. As you know, physicians are controlled by pharmaceutical companies. Diseases are not caused by a lack of medication. Medications most of the time only mask symptoms but don't cure. The cure is in the food you eat, and if you can afford it, functional medicine is the right way of getting treated when necessary.
