If you are interested in scheduling a consultation with Dr. Rutherford please visit http://PowerHealthConsult.com Hi Dr. Martin Rutherford today we're, going to be going over and continue our series on functional medicine back to basics. We, for those of you have been following. You know it's, a whole series. I'm. Taking you from beginning to end the what functional medicine should look like if you walk into a functional medicine practitioners office and it doesn't. Look like this trust me. They're, not practicing classic functional medicine. There's. A lot of moving pieces to it, we're, trying to give you all of those pieces, the piece and last week we talked about leaky gut. We talked about intestinal permeability and how it relates to chronic conditions, chronic pain, how you address it? How you prevent it from being sabotaged once you've, gotten done with your leaky gut. Everybody comes in here today knows about leaky gut, they've done it, but it's back by the time they get here. We do a test on them and they got like it Willie. He got that's blown wide open and they wonder why. So we just so we and and and then we talked about how that could be stressed. It could be that they didn't, have a hydrogen of hydrochloric acid on and on and on so that's. That's last week again, and I mentioned that because again this layers on top of each other. Today, we're talking about multiple chemical sensitivities. Okay, when you're, when you're, when you're, go to functional medicine, most people come to my office or coming in for chronic conditions. Okay, they're not coming in, because their diabetes is off. Some come in for weight loss, but the vast majority come in here with dizziness vertigo balance: migraines fibromyalgia, peripherally chronic fatigue, irritable, bowel syndrome, Crohn's; disease rheumatoid arthritis. Most people come in here with with chronic conditions that usually have an autoimmune component to it and or or and frequently also have a stress component to it. You put those two things together and your entire system starts to collapse varies from person to person, so there's, a number of different, pretty well defined and known categories as to how to address those problems. But the problem is on the internet. They're, not well-defined. You're, a million different people talking about a different things. You know must be that one, this one it's. Not that way, so we so so we ' Ve talked about the bowels, we talked about large and small intestines. We've talked about leaky gut, even though it's very difficult. To clearly say this is the next thing. Next thing we're going to talk about? Is going to be chemical sensitivities because you can't get chemical sensitivities without having a leaky gut okay, so we've already dealt with the leaky gut. You almost can't have chemical sensitivities. If you have a strong frontal lobe now, we have not talked about that, because that's, separate that's, that's like that's like functional neurology, but but but we will talk about it as Time goes on, you almost can't hat. You almost can't have chemical sensitivities. If you're, if you're, if you have enough glutathione, so we're. So let's, talk about multiple chemical sensitivities, so chemical sense, since they reside patients that come in here and and some of them I've. Had the patients coming here ago. I can't be in here. Well, I'd, say why? Well we're. I don't know there's, just something in here that you know I can smell your your front desk person who is like a hundred feet a...
