The medical profession offers many new avenues to explore and to broaden one`s knowledge. Doctors are trained to diagnose, medicate and operate. There is a special place for this approach as it can save lives and can be very effective, up to a point.

This is where Functional Medicine comes in, as it attempts to find the real cause of the “dis-ease”.
Functional Medicine is sometimes much more complicated than conventional, allopathic medicine, as it requires a detailed search for the underlying problem(s) that drive(s) the disease.
