Its interesting that most nutritionists and alternative medicine practitioners like to think of the big picture and obviously tend towards natural reminies as opposed to man main toxins and chemicals. However most still end put practicing in an allopathic manner. Meaning they are treating symptoms not the real cause.

Of course many will have a different point of view but..

Lets say your adrenals aren't running as they should. Western Med might give a drug for them. Alternative aproach might be a herb or diet change etc

But why are the adrenals running low? I think they are often reasons and adressing the adrenal problem itsself may manage and fix the symptom but if the underlying cause isn't adressed I think it will either return or a new problem will arise.

I think many will disagree but this is a basic idea with metabolic typing. its about balancing your homeostatic controles. So far my understanding is that if you go in with cancer that they don't treat the cancer. They balance the body so that it can deal with it itself. We all deal with cancer throughout our lives many times, its when the body can't handle it that it becomes a problem and becomes 'cancer'.

Still learning about it but so far I think it makes a ton of sense.

Worth a look maybe.
