Environmental Medicine is the answer to many diseases and chronic health problems-Why is it usually ignored ?

Question

Hi Jennifer. Environmental medicine is extremely challenging. It requires an open mind, extensive training, and an involved patient. Most doctors find this approach too difficult. It is relatively easy to label a group of symptoms as 'syndrome x' and then write a prescription to mask the symptoms. Actually thinking about, investigating, and teaching the patient about the complex array of potential underlying CAUSES of 'syndrome x' is very, very hard.

Medicine is driven by its unrecognized dogmatic belief in 'medicines' (vs diet/environment). Most physicians have literally NO training in dietary and environmental causes of 'disease'. There is an old principle in medicine: "You don't find what you don't look for". Docs don't look for dietary or environmental causes of their patients symptoms. Since they 'don't look', they never 'see' these correlations. Since they never 'see' these correlations, in their minds they 'obviously do not exist'.

Fortunately, there are a few medical docs with training in nutrition, environmental medicine, and functional medicine. Additionally, there are many good Chiropractors, Naturopathic Physicians, Certified Clinical Nutritionists, and other 'alternative health care providers' (interesting that 'treating the cause' is considered 'alternative' - that shows how dogmatic the drug treatment mentality really is) that are interested in these approaches.

Best wishes.

i do not imagine that such issues as demon possession and black magic are extra logical causes. it truly is that demon possession and black magic are not any fault causes. I hate to be harsh, yet I see this all too commonly. there are in basic terms an outstanding variety of folk that've no desire to take duty for his or her personal issues and take the steps had to fix them or a minimum of paintings in the route of helping themselves benefit a extra helpful position in existence. an outstanding variety of folk are also very gullible. in case you are able to blame your issues on something mystical/magical then it truly is no longer your fault - your refusal to get a interest and overspending isn't the reason for your coming near near financial disaster, it truly is the nasty previous lady next door. Your darling son's erratic and eruptive habit isn't the end results of psychological ailment and drug dependancy, no it truly is demon possession. experienced clergy or some heavily positioned symbols and candles and words spoken will treatment each little thing. some different person will fix this and pat you on the again at the same time as saying "it truly is no longer your fault". in my opinion, i imagine i might want to be a lot extra comfortable questioning i grow to be suffering for a psychological situation than a demon. yet i quite imagine it truly is extra a count number number of folk being extra comfortable with no longer having to take duty.
