“At the most basic level, scientists are discovering that nearly all of the chronic diseases that cause so much suffering and are steadily driving up the cost of health care all share mitochondrial dysfunction, excessive inflammation, high cortisol levels, and other markers of broken biochemistry. In a very real sense, we all have the same disease because all diseases begin with broken, incorrect biochemistry and disordered communication within and between our cells. For health to return, the chemistry must revert to normal, and communication within and between our cells must be restored. This is true for every disease.” Autoimmune DiseaseFunctional MedicineChronic DeceaseMitochondrial DisfunctionTerry Wahls Book:The Wahls Protocol : How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine Source: The Wahls Protocol : How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine
