Dr. Oz and HIs Four Disease Detectives: Functional Medicine is Favorable
Dr. Oz introduced his four ‘go-to’ physicians that he likes to call his ‘disease detectives’.
It’s cute, but is it really much of an improvement over standard Western Medicine?
Dr. Oz and His Four Disease Detectives
In some ways it is and in other ways, it still isn’t enough to make me happy.
But it’s you that needs to be happy with the doctors you choose to monitor, guide, prescribe, and manage your medical care. These four are doing a little more than their more traditional counterparts, yet they just don’t comprehend Bio-Energetic Medicine.
They are treating food like a drug and food is most definitely NOT a drug, not should any doctor prescribe food as if it were a medication.
They are treating supplements like drugs and this is definitely a move in the wrong direction. It really makes me feel as if the educational process has eluded them when they think this way. They prescribe supplements and herbs like they were on the shelves of a pharmacy and marketed by a pharmaceutical sales rep. I find that distasteful and unprofessional and unacceptable.
They are trying their best and I cannot find any fault in that. It is just their mindset that still needs more adjustment before I could recommend my family members with the same confidence that Dr. Oz refers his family to these physicians. Oh, well…
That’s just the point! It’s more about being WELL for me than it is finding disease or detecting the need for drug substitutes. There is a monumental difference between a healthy Lifestyle and detecting disease. A healthy Lifestyle celebrates living well! That’s the preference here.
The ‘disease’ model is not going to keep you healthy and well. Only a healthy Lifestyle does that… It’s one thing to work with finding ways to fix the dysfunction by Functional Medicine, but it misses the whole point of progress.
