Disease Delusion
Conquering the Causes of Chronic Illness for a Healthier, Longer, and Happier Life
By Jeffrey S. Bland, Mark Hyman | Publisher: HarperCollins
About the book
For decades, Dr. Jeffrey Bland has been on the cutting edge of Functional Medicine, which seeks to pinpoint and prevent the root cause of illness, rather than treat its symptoms. Managing chronic diseases accounts for three quarters of our total healthcare costs, because we’re masking these illnesses with pills and temporary treatments, rather than addressing their underlying causes, he argues. Worse, only treating symptoms leads us down the path of further illness.
In The Disease Delusion, Dr. Bland explains what Functional Medicine is and what it can do for you. While advances in modern science have nearly doubled our lifespans in only four generations, our quality of life has not reached its full potential. Outlining the reasons why we suffer chronic diseases from asthma and diabetes to obesity, arthritis and cancer to a host of other ailments, Dr. Bland offers achievable, science-based solutions that can alleviate these common conditions and offers a roadmap for a lifetime of personalized wellness.
This book provides a new approach to health, offering proven strategies to reclaim your vitality:
- A New Paradigm for Health: Learn why treating symptoms is a losing battle and how Dr. Bland’s pioneering approach seeks to address the underlying causes of chronic illness.
- A Systems-Based Approach: Discover how your body’s interconnected systems work together and why understanding these networks is the key to preventing conditions from asthma and diabetes to obesity and arthritis.
- Beyond the Symptom-Pill Cycle: Break free from the delusion of a \"pill for every ill.\" This book explains how managing the true cause of disease can lead to lasting health, not just temporary relief.
- The Seven Core Processes: Explore the seven core physiological processes that determine your health and get a science-based roadmap for restoring balance and achieving a lifetime of wellness.
