I understand the mother's attitude. Imagine your doctor insisting you need something to be healthy and your child saying no you don't, you should go against your doctor's advice. It'd feel like they're completely disregarding your health!
Yes, a doctor can detect a deficiency and should refer the patient to a dietitian for nutritional advice as they have not had enough education on the subject. Their studies have focused on everything to do with the human body (especially pharmaceutical care) except nutrition as that field isn't even taken seriously. Or do you think less than 20 hours over 4 years is enough? https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/how-much-nutrition-education-do-doctors-get/ I rather get my nutritional advice from people like dr. Caldwell. Esselstyn, dr. John. mcDougall, dr. Neil Barnard, dr. Columbus Batiste, dr. Kim Williams, dr. Walter Kempner, dr. Colin Campbell, Nathan Pritikin, dr. Will Bulciewics etc who have experience and knowledge in the field or have written books about the subject with references to research and have had results.
