Dr Mark Hyman explained in this video from 2011 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abGeRIEyEoE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abGeRIEyEoE how to cure diabetes. He also explained that you do not have to be large to be "fat" since thin people with diabetes have fat around the organs which has the same effect as the belly fat. A very interesting video where Mark Hyman also explains how functional medicin works and what diet is best.

Went to functional medicine website. Says it integrates traditional medicine plus things like [mind body spirit etc, supplements, detoxification, holism]. Sounds like a few mds wanted to start a brand and get on the supplement train. Choo choo!

  From WebMD: "Holistic medicine is a form of healing that considers the whole person -- body, mind, spirit, and emotions -- in the quest for optimal health and wellness." There are doctors aboard the woo-woo tinfoil hat train, for sure, but from what I've experienced it's more of a trend towards going "Huh, so you're not sleeping well, let's see if that might be caused by stress in your life or lots of coffee in your diet" instead of going "Can't sleep eh? Here have these drugs!"

    I agree with your trend and think it's a good one.The first consideration on the medical differential for sleep anormalities is poor sleep hygiene, as in caffeine in evening, poor environment for sleep, change in daily schedule, acute stress, etc. Doctors who jump to pushing pills first do not do so because they are doctors, but because they are bad/lazy doctors. The non-medical holistic supplement camp has created a false dichotomy in care considerations to win market share. Functional medicine appears to be a means of reversing that trend, but with its branding and endorsement of things like detoxifixation I start to worry. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, there do appear to be too many docs pushing pills to get people in and out quickly, and for those shitty docs the dichotomy is not very false.

    MD Anderson in Houston, Texas, the number one cancer treatment center in the world (gets the hardest cases with the best outcomes), does holistic treatment in addition to clinical treatment.
