Frustrated, not getting anywhere?

Many of our patients seek us out for this very reason. They’ve been down the conventional medicine route, had their symptoms noted and categorized and when their labs were “within normal limits” they were sent on their way with vague reassurances that everything would be alright, or maybe with a prescription for an unnecessary drug like an antidepressant.

Physicians are trained to get a list of symptoms, bundle those symptoms into a diagnosis and then “treat the diagnosis.” This approach worked perfectly well when most office visits were for acute illness or injury, but times have changed. Most of our current health issues are chronic, complex illnesses with the potential for one or more of several root causes. This group is growing due to the toxic nature of our modern world.

Because the insurance model is driving care, physicians simply cannot give the time to get to the root of the problem or order the appropriate tests. We do not believe that anyone can get to root causes in a 7-12 minute consult. The result is the patient ends up with a Band-Aid instead of a cure. Mainstream medicine’s response is usually drugs that often further suppress the immune system. Often with strong side effects that can set you up for more serious health problems down the road. This approach results in unnecessary suffering and often the recommendations make things worse. We see patient after patient who has almost lost hope from this downward spiral.

We dive deep. We do the medical detective work needed to gather all the clues. Our detailed online intake is a crucial part of the process and deserves time and thoughtful attention. We have comprehensive labs at our disposal. We dive deeper with each patient using the Deeper Healing components: Diet, Emotion (relationships, stress level, trauma etc.), Environment (home, water, food, chemical exposure etc.), Physical (exercise, sleep habits, symptoms etc.). It is key to achieve our shared goal of positive lasting sustainable results.

Diagnosis is not the disease 

We commonly see a few types of patients. One set, they have a large pile of labs, a long list of diagnosis’ with no idea what to do next (numerous failed attempts). The other group has insufficient labs and has not been asked some key questions. They arrive with a cluster of symptoms and don’t really know what is wrong or what to do. Others that reach out to us are unsure if they’ve been correctly diagnosed and often feel discarded and left on their own. Many of them acting as their own case manager and researching themselves to try to find answers. All of these types of patients can be well served by our Deeper Healing process.
