Funtioning : An Approach to the Diagnosis of Some Psychiatric and Psychosomatic Syndromes

Recently, there is a wide cumulus of scientific information which allows new therapeutic approaches for almost all diseases. This approach is not being followed due to two main factors:

1: Physicians graduated from medical schools lack of sufficient scientific training in physiology, physiopathology and pharmacology. Neither, enough knowledge on immunology, neuropharmacology, etc.

2: "Standard of Care Medicine" is ruled by rigid laws and restrictions which forbid "practitioners" to perform treatments which do not rely on the " Physician's Desk References" regulations (P.D.R.).

Dr. Fuad Lechin's book exposes new therapeutical designs for different kind of diseases, based in scientific inward mechanisms subjacent in these diseases. It is obvious that these kind of scientific treatments have less risk and less collateral unwanted effects.
