Of course we should be treating the whole individual. Of course it makes sense that our medical model is based mainly on acute care. Lifestyle, diet, and environment play such a huge role in the expression of our genes and manifestation of chronic disease. This book was enlightening.

Western medicine getting in line with Oriental Medicine and Aurvedic (sp) Medicine. Good reminder or great introduction to looking at whole body/life, not symptoms.

Ok as a general introduction to some of the basic principles of functional medicine, though a bit one-size-fits-all in some respects, esp w/r/t nutrition. Overall a bit bland/unfocused, but if you've read nothing else in the area I suppose it's relatively harmless.
