It is rare that a single problem/single remedy approach will solve complex medical problems. Almost always there are many different contributing factors, all of which interact and affect each other, in a ‘web’-like manner. And so it usually happens that in order to see improvement, many or all of these different factors have to be considered at some time in the healing process. At the same time, people can only make so many changes at one time, and so the process of biological healing is usually slow and gradual, but progressive, taking a period of weeks to years. The rate of healing depends on the nature and severity of the illness, and a person’s ability to make positive changes in their life circumstances and routines. Here is link to a 5 page document outlining of some of the factors that can be addressed in a biological approach to complex medical problems. Bear in mind that this is not a complete list, nor does it include the more common conventional medical diagnostic categories, to which this list is complementary. However, the list includes most forms of biological therapy that I have found helpful over my 33 years of medical practice. Bear in mind that this list is really a matrix or a ‘web’, in that any one category will affect and be affected by all the others. Therefore these categories should be considered both as parts and as a unified whole. Almost always many of these various factors have to be addressed simultaneously to reverse complex chronic medical problems. [One of my analogies for chronic illness is that of driving off the road in a snowstorm. You need a whole gang of men, pushing all at once, to get your car out of the ditch. If they took turns pushing on your car one at a time, your car wouldn’t budge.] This can also be called a ‘systems engineering’ approach to complex medical problems, and it often brings success when more conventional approaches have failed.
