You need to learn how to identify symptom triggers. You learn typical symptom sequences from the beginning to the end of each disturbance. You learn how to correct for recurrent symptoms without the use of drugs. The term depression still does not refer to a disease in the usual sense and does not describe the cause of the symptoms. As we further categorize arthritis, we develop descriptive criteria for many different types of arthritis.
Objective measurements give some diagnoses even more credibility.
A general state of hypersensitivity exists in many of the patients we see with symptoms arising from food, air and water sources. We believe that food-triggered hypersensitivity diseases are among the most common health problems in our society. Hypersensitive people may react to food, air, drugs, smell, people, ideas, and feelings in an exaggerated manner. Diagnostic categories always oversimplify a complex situation. A sick patient who does not fit into a standard diagnostic category tends to be ignored or dismissed.
