Relationships

Relationships between multiple health problems are never detected.

Uniqueness
The patient’s individual uniqueness is rarely taken into account in developing the best treatment.

Diet & Environment
The influence of diet and environment is rarely considered in either evaluation or treatment.

Optimal Wellness
Optimal wellness is rarely the goal, hence hardly ever achieved.

Managed; Not Resolved
At best, chronic symptoms may be “managed” for awhile; at worst, the underlying causes of symptoms are not discovered, and disease moves deeper into the body, requiring, over time, stronger doses or additional medications in a patient’s treatment program.

Clearly, there are times when medication or surgery can be life-saving. However, it is important to keep in mind that conventional medicine was designed for acute rather than chronic health problems. Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, chronic fatigue, arthritis, and fibromyalgia, are on the rise today. Clearly a better approach is needed.

Functional medicine represents a dynamic and science-based approach to whole person health care that embraces optimal wellness as the goal. As the name implies, functional medicine is based on the awareness that many health problems are reflections of underlying imbalances in physiology and chemistry. Accordingly, a functional medicine practitioner helps to identify and correct those imbalances as the primary method of improving the patient’s health. To do so requires consideration of the human body as a finely orchestrated network of interconnected systems, rather than viewing individual systems as autonomous. For example, imbalances within the intestine may precipitate the entry of toxins into the system, which, in predisposed individuals, can stimulate arthritis through an immune response in the joints. Chronic stress may imbalance the adrenal glands, resulting in blood sugar swings, easy fatigue, inflammation, and menstrual irregularities.

This “web-like” approach includes a thorough evaluation of the patient’s environment and lifestyle choices which may have an influence on health. Toxic exposures may precipitate neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, nutritional deficits may promote the development of atherosclerosis, social isolation may contribute to cancer by suppressing a person’s immune system, physical trauma may result in structural imbalances that limit function in various organs. This is “patient-centered” medicine at its best, where “patient care” rather than “disease care” is the priority. As Sir William Osler once said, “It is more important to know what patient has the disease than to know what disease the patient has.” Toward this end, the functional medicine practitioner evaluates a patient’s health problems in light of the totality of interactions among his or her environment, lifestyle, and genetic predisposition.

The goal of functional medicine treatment is dynamic balance – among the internal and external factors in a patient’s body, mind, and spirit. Because “health” is regarded as a positive vitality, rather than merely the absence of disease, the person is assisted in care to a point of optimal wellness. There is no reason that we should settle for anything less.

It show promise in mice. For mice, has shown major health improvements including blood sugar control. Keep in mind that 6 out of 10 major drug successes in mice – fail in humans. But the limited human trials showed promise and there are some patients that claim it helps. However, this could be the ‘placebo effect,’ and only empirical data under controlled experiments can tell for sure. It will take a few years for these clinical trials to conclude.

You can get supplements of the extract right now. While it is safe, it is not guaranteed to work. Before making a decision, you should watch all the videos. Here’s the a recap from all the trustworthy shows:

I did some research and learned the following: You can only get 1-2mgs of it in a single bottle of wine. So, white, it’s a good excuse to drink wine, but you really won’t get much benefit. There are supplements on the market – but many do not have the required strength and they don’t work for everyone. The only way to know for sure is to try the supplements. Hope you find this interesting… its a future hope for the fountain of youth and treatments (not cures) for countless diseases.
