For example, if you break a bone or you're having a heart attack, or even if you're having a stroke, something acute, you go to the hospital, you get a cardiac catheterization, you put a stent on, you go to a good traumatologist, orthopedist who can, I mean, I had a car accident. I had my leg reconstructed, pins and metals and things, you know, and I can use it now.

So modern Western medicine is incredible for acute problems. For chronic problems, not so much. So they want to use the same tools and solutions for chronic problems than for acute problems. So what do they do? They cut you and they give you medications, surgery and medications, and it doesn't work, right?

The thing is that of the problems that human beings are suffering from, and I don't know this to be 100% accurate, but just to give you an idea, 10% are acute problems. 90% of people are suffering, or 90% of suffering is caused by chronic problems. And for chronic problems, then you have a lot of things. And it's an art to combine. It's an art. It's an art to combine.

And what that experience gave me, it gave me a taste of the palette of healing modalities that exist. I mean, there wasn't every healing modality practitioner in the world, but there were a lot. There were Chinese medicine doctors, Ayurvedic medicine doctors, chiropractors, and other things that I hadn't even heard of.

Yes. So it's changing now, you know, with the advances and the growing of functional medicine, which I know you're familiar with. Functional medicine is a new way of thinking about the body, right? Who was created or invented or designed.

And an easy way to tell somebody what functional medicine is, I say it's as if you grab a modern medicine doctor, but you teach him how to think like an Ayurvedic medicine doctor or a Chinese medicine doctor. So what does that mean? That means that modern medicine divides and conquers, meaning there's specializations. They divide the body in organs.

You have an eye problem, you go to the eye doctor, ophthalmologist. You have a brain problem, you go to the neurologist. You have a heart problem, you go to the heart doctor, cardiologist. You have a liver problem, you go to the hepatologist. You have a gut problem, you go to the gastroenterologist. Right. It's divided by organs.

But functional medicine tells you, like Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine and many other ancient modalities. Yep. that the body is not really a set of divided organs. Actually, it's a set of systems. So in functional medicine, we think in systems. And there are seven systems, right? And each system has many organs participating in it. And different organs participate in different systems.
