Almost twenty years ago, I was becoming frustrated seeing new patients come in to my clinic with ever increasing severity of illnesses, complicated by indications of multiple disorders. A new patient would arrive with signs and symptoms (and confirmed lab tests) of sometimes more than eight disorders occurring at the same time. As a conscientious physician I wanted to help them get well – but where to start? A dear friend and colleague from Eugene, Oregon, suggested I contact Dr. Walter Sturm at “Occidental Institute Research Foundation” for further [...]
