Disease is any condition that leads to a loss of normal function in the body. Over the past 20-30 years, laboratory medicine has developed many tests that measure the level of function in various organ systems of the body or measure levels of metabolic reserve. Once we have determined which organ systems have impaired function, we look deeper to find the cause of the dysfunction. The symptoms which characterize a disease are never the disease itself, nor are they the cause of the disease. Symptoms are the body’s attempt to restore function and restore balance.

There are really only three main external “causes” of disease: chemical toxicity, physical injury, and psychological disturbance. In addition, a person has one internal “cause” of disease: genetic susceptibility. When the true causes are identified, treatment becomes clear and straightforward.

The files in this section discuss various common illnesses and outline some common causes for the disease and frequently effective treatments. Of course, no two individuals and no two diseases are the same and your personalized care will undoubtedly differ from these general guidelines.
