Of course they made a slick website, con artists are always smooth. Everything it says is meaningless and just using buzzwords without any real meaning, e.g.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Acknowledging the biochemical individuality of each human being, based on concepts of genetic and environmental uniqueness</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Incorporating a patient-centered rather than a disease-centered approach to treatment</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Seeking a dynamic balance among the internal and external factors in a patient’s body, mind, and spirit</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Addressing the web-like interconnections of internal physiological factors</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Identifying health as a positive vitality—not merely the absence of disease—and emphasizing those factors that encourage a vigorous physiology</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Promoting organ reserve as a means of enhancing the health span, not just the life span, of each patient</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Functional Medicine is a science-using profession</li> </ul>Can you seriously not smell the reek of snake oil?</blockquote>
