Medical knowledge has become so vast, it is beyond the ken of one person. Medicine has become so complex that only the most intelligent and diligent among us can be accepted and succeed in medical school. Specialization divides medical knowledge into parts, to make the knowledge required to practice medicine more manageable; yet creates islands of knowledge, a specialty-centered focus, and a patient divided by body parts and diseases. Specialization can leave patients with only partial answers, or require the patient to seek care from many doctors for medical problems that may have the same or a related origin.
“The Origin of Disease: The War Within”, attempts to provide a unifying principle of the whole for understanding chronic diseases, to identify the relationship between various chronic diseases, and to put a segmented patient back together. It provides a new paradigm for discovery of the causes of chronic disease; and for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases.
Michael Radon, reviewer for the US Review of Books, said:
“…this book challenges a lot of the accepted thinking in Western medicine, but all truly impactful ideas have to shatter the old to move the method forward.”
