Why are we suffering?

“There is no ‘disease’ in the body, only dis-ease. The origin is always unique, always” - Dr Jeffrey Bland. The father of functional medicine has said that, “there is no ‘disease’ in the body, only dis-ease. The origin is always unique, always”-Dr Jeffrey Bland. This dis-ease in the body, is what I always tell my patients is the body trying to communicate with us. Often times we shoot the messenger. We pop a pill for whatever ill we are experiencing, but rarely consider why our body is spending so much energy giving us that blessed symptom. It shows up as a headache, rash, bowel changes, stomach ache, or body aches if it is mild. When the symptoms accelerate from being repeatedly ignored, it may turn into a diagnosis or illness.
