Alternative Health - Functional Medicine

Be My Friend - http://www.myspace.com/psychtruth

When treating a patient we strive to provide more than just rapid relief of your immediate symptoms. We focus on your overall health examining nutritional, metabolic, immune, hormonal, structural, and any toxicological factors in which you may be involved. Through a personal and comprehensive examination, we try to get to the source of your condition enabling you to restore your health. We also look at emotional and psychological factors as these create the background which shapes every aspect of your health and well-being.
Most conditions whether it involves heart disease, fatigue, arthritis, cancer, headaches, chronic infections, allergies, elevated cholesterol, depression, anxiety, PMS, menopause, autism, diabetes, osteoporosis, etc. are manageable if the underlying causes are more fully understood. That doesn't mean we only use the latest fad or herb to cover up your symptoms. Rather, we apply scientific principles in a practical and logical way to solve your medical needs.

That means asking the right questions, careful listening, complete examinations of your physical and biochemical state and understanding how you function within your own environment. If necessary, select labs that identify your nutritional needs, allergies, hormonal status, metabolic efficiency, etc. can be performed. When it is all put together, a practical and personalized plan will be agreed upon that is designed to not only get rid of symptoms you don't have to live with but also create a healthier, happier, more vital you.

  Howto & Style

Makes sense. If only there was a functional medicine lobby to rival the pharmaceutical lobby in Washington. I worked in a group home for developmentally disabled adults for 5 years and saw first hand the chemical restraint used to control their undesired behaviors. It's pretty sad. So many problems in our country, it's overwhelming at times.

unfortunately, it is far more profitable to treat symptoms with pharmaceuticals over an extended period of time than to cure the problem and the need for pharmaceuticals. Every time a problem is cured through nutrition or alternative health or life style changes, Pharma loses money.

I wish there was a link to your website in the side bar so I wouldn't have to remember your website address and type it in.

SCAM proponents are hilarious.

This is what everyone needs to realize that

our western medicine only treats the symptoms

but does not deal with the real problem to begin with.While all drugs are toxic, I believe in alternatives that fix the problem

while not creating many new problems called side effects.What we are doing with health care today is for example we dont want to pay a few dollars to change the oil in the car and wait untill the entire engine needs to be replaced.Think abut this.

[scarred10]

you arent going to do the FM movement any good when they certify people with no medical training whatsoever,there are nutritionist(not dieticians ) and fitness trainers who have paid for this certification and are practising FM.That doesnt make sense.

Dealing with gout and psoriasis. Where can I find help in the Kansas City area.

[judaemic]

Actually Hollistic medicine has a scientific basis, the FDA just tries to censor anything useful.

[handingloveable]

Holistic medicine is medicine that hasn't been proven to work better than placebo. It isn't medicine. It does not work.

[SuperHealthyHealth]

Valuable ideas.

Hello. I am doing a research paper on Alternative medicine. I am a freshman at college. Think I could speak with you? possibly an interview? I looked for an email! But couldn't see one!!

Some great points about the benefits of holistic medicine vs. traditional Western medicine. For a great introductory book on holistic healing I recommend Focus on Healing: Holistic Self-help for Medical Illness by Jennifer Barraclough. Excellent resource for all.
