Functional Medicine Introduction

Based on cutting-edge science, functional medicine offers a whole new way to understand and treat chronic illnesses from diabetes to depression; heart disease to hypertension; autoimmune disease to autism; Alzheimer’s to anxiety and more.

The core concept is that chronic illness is an outcome of imbalances in the key underlying physiological systems in your body. When inflammation, blood sugar imbalance, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, hormonal problems, and other systemic upset occur the body spirals out of balance.

This in conjunction with poor diet, lack of essential nutrients, emotional stress, environmental toxins, lack of exercise, and other lifestyle issues set the stage for chronic disease to develop. Functional medicine provides a method for rebalancing the body’s underlying physiological systems and addressing lifestyle issues that contribute to these illnesses. When this is done your biology’s inherent healing forces are unleashed and chronic illness is resolved naturally and quickly often without the need for costly pharmaceutical medications or invasive surgeries. In this way functional medicine offers a unique approach to understanding the terrain of chronic illness and provides us a whole new way to address the epidemic of chronic disease we face in the 21st century.

"Hi Dr Ahmed
It's been 1.5 years of this pandemic and I still maintain my perfect score of not getting sick since 2017!
We have been surrounded by COVID infected people the last 3 weeks since Hendrik's best friend passed from COVID a couple of weeks ago and here I am as strong as an ox!
I would not have gotten better without you! Thank you for helping me!"

Corne
"Thank you so much for this information.
I agree completely and are as disappointed in the medical field as Dr Shallenberger. Brett’s oncologist said the same thing. I was furious and insisted that he continue his vit’s. If he had not I don’t believe he would be in “as good” state as what he was.
That Ozone treatment is phenomenal – absolutely mind blowing. You treated him on Thursday – by Sunday his hair had started growing back. He has eyebrows and a beard already. It is truly amazing.
Please can we make another appointment for this week – perhaps Thursday again?"

Cindy
"Good news, my weight this morning was 99.7 – first time in years it is below 100kg! I cannot thank you enough – I feel wonderful."

Alida du Plessis (patient)
"It made a vast difference when I was again on full strength with everything.Have a great day and know that you still have my gratitude for changing my life around!"

"Good morning, Dr. H,
Would it be purely in my head that I'm seeing/feeling results of the LE products I'm on? I've created a spreadsheet for monitoring my meals and daily "results". I started the programme in earnest on Saturday the 10th. So far, the first things I've noticed are:
1.My skin is beautiful - like silk!
2.My bowel movements are far more regular, soft and quite volumeous.
3.I don't have any "down" moments and feel very relaxed, but in control.
4.My moment-by-moment memory is greatly improved (I no longer have to THINK what I had for breakfast).
The other thing is that find I'm actually remembering why I got up to go to my bedroom, for example! That's amazing.
I hope this isn't all in my mind (sort of "placebo effect" ??)"

"Hi Dr Haffejie,
I am looking and feeling terrific. No more sugar in tea or coffee. Very little coffee, actually - one cup at 4pm in the afternoon with one sachet of Xylitol. My abdomen is flattening and it's become soft, so I'm doing some exercise to tighten it up so that I don't go too flabby! (Not that anyone would notice, at my age!) I've had two strangers approach me while shopping and ask me what I use on my skin. Good grief, it really MUST show! How wonderful! My waistline is slimming down, from 89cm to 87 at the moment. I haven't lost weight - it just seems to have sort of moved around into the right places. How strange. I'm back to sleeping a solid 7 hours without waking (unless my dog suddenly barks and leaps out of the bed, sending me levitating with my heart pounding!) I am being SO good with the diet, and SO diligent about what I put in my mouth.
I think you're a star - and you probably think I'm mad, but that's okay!
Thanks for all you're doing for me."

"Good morning Doctor H! I want to let you know that Carl Louis is definitely better. The meds and gluten free approach is working for him - and for me. I do have better and more sustainable energy. Thank you so much!"
