Why Doesn’t My Medical Doctor Know About Your Treatment?

This is a common question I get all the time that I’d like to talk about today.

What I do is called Functional Medicine.  Functional medicine addresses how well your body may or may not be functioning and supports function of that organ, gland, chemical pathway, etc.  Once function is restored…then health is restored.

The current Western Medicine approach to disease is based on treating symptoms….you have high cholesterol, well then take this drug to lower the cholesterol…you have high blood pressure, then here’s the drug for lowering high blood pressure…you get the idea.  Western Medicine does not treat what is CAUSING the high cholesterol or what is CAUSING the high blood pressure…you see the difference?  So, in effect someone’s disease whether it be Type 2 Diabetes or any other chronic disease that is killing millions of Americans…the CAUSE of that disease is not addressed.

There are some forward thinking Medical Doctors who do practice Functional Medicine.  As the chronic diseases become more and more common in our society, Functional Medicine will become more and more popular as the current Medical Model fails in restoring health.

So you have to ask yourself….do you want your problem covered up?  Or do you want the underlying CAUSE of the problem to be fixed.  In my mind, the answer is easy.  You DO have a choice when it comes to your health.

If you are suffering from Type 2 Diabetes and need help getting it and keeping it under control, please fill out the form to the right and we can help get you the information you need.
