Yesterday, I wrote about
how medical
fraternity or conventional medicine physicians across the globe have come
together and formed a branch of medicine called the Functional Medicine. Though the conventional doctors have touted
it as a hidden movement sweeping across the globe and the focus of which will
be to find the cause and treat the cause and not the symptoms as is the current
scenario all over the world, what all of you do not understand is that this
idea has been borrowed from the Alternative Medicines which since centuries
back have been only treating the cause and not symptoms unlike modern
medicine. Good to know that at least conventional
medicine physicians have come to realize now that they need to forge ahead with
the focus on finding the cause for the ailments. What could be the reason behind such a
movement, could it be because conventional medicine physicians are also human
being, they too have their family, relatives and friends who are down with
incurable disease and cancers, could it be that their near and dear ones have
lost their life and till now they were afraid or whatever be the cause, could
not forge ahead this idea of finding the cause because they were afraid to
stand up against the big pharmaceuticals and FDA and other government
authorities, whatever be the reason, it is never too late for those of us who
are suffering now. But borrowing idea
from alternative medicine and not giving credit where it is due is not
warranted but all the same at least there is a start to alleviate the
sufferings of the people and that too when in modern times the autoimmune
disease and cancers are increasing by leaps and bonds. Some of the best alternative medicines since
ages have been treating and curing people with the focus only on cause.
This Functional
Medicine branch could have been started more than 100 years back, do you think the
physicians back then did not know this, the reason why this approach was not
taken was only greed, greed and only greed by the big pharmaceuticals and
doctors alike who would not allow such an idea to progress since there is no continuous
money into their cash box for them if patients are cured. If you google, you will find that even then
many a doctors went against these big pharmaceuticals and FDA and government
agencies and did their own treatment and even cured though it was against the
law and many were even jailed and stopped from practicing medicine because big
pharmaceuticals had FDA and other regulatory agencies under their influence to
ensure that no one has a different line of thought of curing the patients and
thus minimizing their profits. Hence now
I understand why many pharmaceutical companies do not support the idea of
Functional Medicine and whether they will pump in the money required for the
research which is need of the hour to ensure that the Functional Medicine
approach does not die down for want of funds for research and development.
