Almost none, which is why there are nutritionists.That's not correct, I know a number of GP's. There are 4 GP's at my Church, I'm friends with another GP. It's true that GP's specialize in diagnosing and providing treatment for medical conditions, but it isn't true that they are incapable of providing nutritional advice, or where they deem it necessary refer them on to nutritionists. What is, however, true is that most of the medical conditions that Harvey suffered were not ever directly thought to be associated with diet, or deficiencies. It's only recently that we've been learning the effects of dietary deficiencies - including B12, zinc, calcium, cholesterol, etc.
Most personal trainers can give you good nutritional advice as well - however they are not qualified to diagnose and treat medical conditions that arise from a deficient diet, and nor for that matter are nutritionists. Nutritionists can provide excellent nutritional advice to clients - yes, better advice than the average GP, however they are not qualified to treat medical conditions. Harvey suffered from medical conditions, you do not go to a nutritionist to solve medical conditions - you can look at diet as a remedy, clearly/obviously, however a doctor is the right person to see about a medical condition.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
