Advanced Medicine has a broader view of health than traditional medicine.
The time has come to prevent disease and maintain our health, not just to react and wait for symptoms or diseases. True health is not merely the absence of symptoms. True health is only present when the mental, chemical, and structural elements of the body are in balance.
Traditional medicine has only two stages of health: you are either healthy or diseased. We believe there is a more important in-between stage, in which you are not healthy or diseased, but hypofunctioning. When your body is hypofunctioning it is not working at its full potential. When your body first starts to hypofunction you may not exhibit symptoms, but as our problem persists your symptoms appear and continue to grow. Eventually a hypofunctioning body will become diseased.
We know that it is much easier and safer to treat a person in the hypofunctioning stage, than in the diseased stage. Hypofunctioning problems are usually corrected with vitamins, minerals, herbs and lifestyle changes. Treating the problem early prevents the need for medication and more radical treatments.
Treating a patient in the diseased stage is more challenging. These patients benefit the most from the combination of traditional and alternative medicine.
