The problem with the conventional model of disease and symptoms…
“Disease” refers to any condition that disrupts the body’s normal functioning and alters homeostasis. Most diseases you’re labeled with are either named after the related organ (heart disease), or reflect a symptom or a cluster of symptoms (IBS, IBD), or are actually just symptoms themselves (gastritis) - but they tell you very little about the actual cause.
Symptoms are a perfectly natural response from a body struggling to cope in an unnatural environment. They’re an alarm bell signaling that something in your environment needs to change, and they rarely ever occur "out-of-the-blue" or alone. The fact that you have symptoms means that your body is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing - which is to signal you to correct your environment so you can return to a state of "ease."
The conventional medical model treats chronic disease by managing symptoms in one or more of three ways: cutting (surgery), burning (radiation), or poisoning (pharmaceutical drugs) - all of which only silence the alarm, but rarely ever addresses the root cause.
