Medicine
Description
Allopathic – or conventional – medicine has failed. With the transformation of our lifestyles, technological advances and toxicity, the health issues now facing humankind have changed; infectious diseases have been replaced by chronic degenerative diseases such as diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, dementia, cancer, arthritis and autoimmunity.
We lead longer – but not necessarily better – lives, and we live our last years in miserable conditions. These changes have also impacted the health systems of both rich and poor countries. In view of all this, we should ask: Why are we still applying a healthcare model designed in the early 20th century?
Functional medicine acknowledges that the body has its own healing mechanisms, so the goal in healthcare is to provide all necessary elements to restore balance, pinpointing what is lacking and what is present in excess.
This book explores the processes that have led to the debacle currently facing the health sector. It also explores the genetic influence and other factors that determine the activation or suppression of genes, the toxicity of the environment and the interests opposing change. it also proposes answers and options through functional medicine.
