Today’s healthcare model is one of disease management and usually not cure. This has led to the “Silver Bullet” phenomenon whereby there is one specific procedure or pharmaceutical for each condition. This model works in non-complex cases with obvious treatment methods, for example, an appendectomy is the best treatment for a raging case of appendicitis that is on the verge of rupture.
However, because no two persons are alike, a similar disease can present in different ways in different persons; also, in different ways in the same person. Therefore, the Silver Bullet method would only work if all persons were exactly the same, that is, had the same, exact genetic makeup.
For example, a non-painful tooth abscess may indicate colon cancer in one patient, prostate enlargement in another and lower-back pain in yet another patient. Alternatively, a tooth abscess may lead to cancer, seizures or knee pain in the same person at different times.
For the above reasons, to determine an individual’s root cause of disease, the diagnostic method(s) primary consideration must be each person’s individuality. Therefore, we list diseases because that is what most persons are familiar with, however, we utilize “Diagnostic Modalities” that guide us to individualized therapies based on the condition each person’s terrain.
As stated on our Home Page, “………There are no specific diseases, only specific disease conditions”, and, “Treat the Terrain, Cure the Disease”.
