Probably because mainstream medical doctors are not trained in nutrition (and, definitely not in Natural Hygiene!). She's just regurgitating what she was taught.

I'd be curious to know what explanations your doctor would have come up with if you hadn't disclosed your eating habits. Not saying this is the case here, but I sometimes suspect that some doctors, dentists, etc. go into defense mode as soon as they hear the words vegetarian or vegan and look for whatever they can to blame on that. Likely because if they accepted the Natural Hygiene way they would have to face the fact that everything they were taught, believed, and made a living from (the medical or alternative medical model) was misguided. They'd either need to continue in their own ways despite now knowing otherwise (which, I suspect would be a very painful way to live!) or they would need to make the decision to leave their old ways and strike out anew (scary!).

"Just me" rambling here . . .

Do what YOU know is right for YOU! :)
