NAVIGATING RADICAL MEDICINE

Radical Medicine was written for holistically oriented individuals who are not satisfied with simply “getting by” with marginal health and for those healthcare practitioners who are committed to supporting their patients in the pursuit of optimal health.

Reading chronologically from chapter 1 through chapter 18 will provide you with a good overview of the typical flow of treatment protocols for most individuals. In clinical practice the specific “trees” (the dental and tonsil focal infections or scar interference fields described in chapters 11, 12, and 13) are often treated after the larger “forest” (the systemic drainage and detoxification protocols detailed in chapters 2, 3, and 4) has been addressed.

However, for those who are already quite knowledgeable in holistic health, reading a chapter of interest out of the normal order should pose no challenge. Each part is comprehensive and complete enough on its own to be understood, especially if you refer to the glossary for the definition of any unfamiliar terms.

Helpful resources for obtaining recommended products and further information are provided throughout the book as well as in the resources section at the end.* All information is current and accurate as of the time of this printing. However, new and better products are constantly being developed. For the author’s most up-to-date recommendations, see www.radicalmedicine.com.

Although this book is inteneded for both practitioners and patients alike, Radical Medicine is not your typical self-help book. While there are a few home treatments that you can do yourself—such as the elimination/challenge test for food allergies described in chapter 6—for the most part the treatments recommended in this book must be administered by well-trained and knowledgeable professionals.

It is always essential to remember that any therapeutic measure effective enough to significantly help can also hurt, especially if employed by an inexperienced individual.

Therefore, potential patients should earnestly seek out holistic physicians, dentists, and other practitioners who are able to diagnose the underlying causes of their particular dysfunction or disease and prescribe the most effective treatments.

The information presented in this book is intended to provide insight and complement the advice of your physician, not replace it. Please refer to appendix 1, “Description of Holistic Practitioners,” for more information and to the resources section for help in locating appropriate professionals.
