The whole premise of Root Cause Medicine is a re-establishing gold standard, first-principles medical care free from pharma-biased intervention.
The state of metabolic health today and the response to virus illustrates how far we currently are from this goal.
The Western democracies are in the process of devolving into Bio-security Police States.
In the works is a two-tiered society based on vaccination status, a proxy for government obedience.
Big Pharma's profit-driven agenda provides the 'scientific' justification.
A misguided Public Health response that prioritizes universal vaccination and ignores early treatment and the metabolic #RootCauses of virus susceptibility.

You will learn more about maximizing health + longevity from @grimhood@Mangan150@SolBrah than any doctor or dietitian. Not even close.
A medical / dietetics / nutrition degree is actually an impediment to understanding best-practice health optimization.
Most practitioners unable to question what they have been taught or come to terms with the fact that most lifestyle advice guidelines are plain wrong.
When empirical reality collides with their beliefs (say a patient reversing diabetes with animal-foods keto) too many tell the patient to STOP doing whatever worked and reduce meat/increase grains and seed oils.
Medicine is broken. Corporate profit and pill prescription are prioritized over healing.
We desperately need a paradigm shift. This is how.

#RootCauseMedicine is an attempt to reverse the modern tsunami of chronic disease by addressing and correcting its fundamental dietary and lifestyle root causes.
It is built on the following set of theses...
REGARDING HUMANS
1. Homo sapiens, like all other living organisms, has evolved homeostatic mechanisms that naturally and spontaneously trend toward health in the absence of medical intervention or injurious environmental insult.
'If there is one piece of mainstream medical advice that I would vote as the single most damaging, it would be the current, ever more hysterical, advice to avoid the sun.'
What happened in the early 1970s to trigger the obesity and chronic disease epidemic?

Imagine the healthy development of fetus and placenta on a probabilistic slider
You can push the slider towards 'healthy (optimal)' or 'unhealthy (sub-optimal)' based on your environmental exposures
Most importantly: DIET + TOXINS
Thread 🧵
DIET
Eating for a constant micronutrient surplus shifts the probability slider towards an optimal pregnancy
By providing constant stream of essential nutrients, you reduce the chance that growth/development is hindered (by nutrient absence) at at some critical timepoint
In other words, you are reducing the number of 'rate-limiting steps' which may, in aggregate, contribute to some pregnancy complication or inadequate fetal growth
