Synopsis
The Origin of Disease is a new vision for understanding chronic disease. It puts medical knowledge together in an original way, and challenges the reader to think of chronic disease, in new ways. An unmistakable pattern emerges to explain the origins of chronic diseases. The book challenges doctors to abandon bias and false assumptions; abandon the diagnosis of symptoms, findings, and syndromes; fight against the influence of money; and return to the Art of Medicine—to diagnose the root causes of chronic disease. It challenges doctors and researchers to open their minds to new creative solutions for chronic disease, using tools and medications already available. The thought provoking book has the potential to change how medicine views chronic disease. It gives hope to people with chronic disease; and ways to improve health and extend longevity. It is a book for everyone—doctors, researchers and patients alike! Simplicity supports truth!
