Meanwhile: "Functional medicine" refers to the theoretical (and disproven) notion that gut health and adrenals are the "root cause" of just about any ailment. Sort of like when you go to a homeopathic practitioner and they do a blood test that tells you you're allergic to eggs, wheat, dairy, and green beans. What they don't tell you is that your test will show the same allergies as everyone else who takes the test. All it does is measure proteins. You're not really allergic to any of those things.
Quackery has become more sophisticated, as access to internet fraud has expanded.

Is that seriously what it means????? What a crock!!!!! That's even worse than chiropractors blaming all illness on "spine misalignment" (which they call subluxation to sound intelligent). Just goes to show there are more quacks than ducks in this world. Unfortunately, those that have no good treatment or cure fall easy prey to these snake oil salesmen
