"The body is not sick because it has a disease, but instead the body has a disease because it is sick."
Dr. Irvin Korr
In other words, my body isn't sick because I have cancer, I came down with cancer because my body was sick. Believe it or not, this is a radical concept in the medical community. Doctors have been taught and continue to be encouraged to prescribe a drug to cover a symptom. Instead they should be finding the cause of the symptom to seek a cure.
Of course that practice wouldn't sell as many drugs.
