Understanding how toxins play a role in the development of chronic conditions. Pharmaceuticals do not heal, they can address symptoms but your bodies immune system heals you... you can support the innate wisdom of your body to heal itself. This is part 1 of a 3 part series on understanding the dynamics of chronic conditions. As a doctor practicing Functional Medicine, Dr. Matthew Flory’s specialty is treating inflammation and sustained chronic inflammation-related conditions. He’s dedicated the remainder of his days to this endeavor due to the fact he’s “Been there … done that.” Dr. Flory is very candid about this fact and as you get to know him you’ll undoubtedly hear about his fight with Hashimoto’s Auto-Immune Hypothyroidism, Depression, Liver Dysfunction, Severe Toxicity, Reactive Hypoglycemia, Chronic Fatigue … all of this resulting from hidden infections, such as Candida. In fact, his Candida infection was worse than any other client he has personally ever tested, and that’s hundreds, if not thousands, of people. He is now very happy to share a story of encouragement and empowerment when supporting his clients, as his fatigue, depression, anxiety, allergies, routine “sickness”, auto-immunity and thyroid symptoms are now resolved. He admits being sick sucked and was very hard on his personal energy, emotions and beliefs about himself … as much or more than his physical body. That is why, as the founder and architect of Functional Health Team, he is breaking new ground for you in the field of medicine. In developing the philosophy and mission and assembling the step-by-step progressive programs, he has included cutting edge support systems for your physical, chemical, financial and emotional Return to Health. Inflammation is associated with and sometimes results in conditions such as Auto-Immune Disorders (and other Immune dysfunction), Thyroid dysfunction, Cardiovascular & Kidney Disease, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Diabetes, Neurologic symptoms (Vertigo, Pain, Numbness/Tingling), Bowel and GI dysfunction, Chronic Illness, Sinus Infection and Allergies, Neurotransmitter imbalances with related anxiety and depression symptoms. These are merely a few of the people he can assist. Functional Medicine’s unique philosophy and holistic methods allows Dr. Flory to become the ‘health-detective’ you might wish your family doctor could be. The Institute for Functional Medicine on their webpage defines Funcitonal Medicine as, “Functional medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. It is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. Functional medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. In this way, functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.” - Video with Dr. Matt Dr. Flory has committed the last 18 years of his life to identifying and implementing natural methods, nutritional remedies and lifestyle modifications that offer safe, effective and clinically-proven ways of regaining health, function and quality of life. He spends a lot of time each week reading and researching to ensure any treatment or recommendations offered are backed by the most up-to-date scientific literature and innovative strategies.

Objectives: To systematically identify and compare the concepts contained in outcome measures of clinical trials on chronic ischemic heart disease, diabetes mellitus, obesity and obstructive pulmonary disease, including asthma using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a reference. Methods: Randomized controlled trials between 1993 and 2003 were located in MEDLINE and selected according predefined criteria. The outcome measures were extracted and the concepts contained in the outcome measures were linked by so called “linking rules” to the ICF. Results: 166 trials on chronic ischemic heart disease, 227 trials on diabetes mellitus, 428 trials on obesity and 253 trials on obstructive pulmonary disease were included. 10 different health status questionnaires were extracted in chronic ischemic heart disease, 19 in diabetes mellitus, 47 in obesity, 39 in obstructive pulmonary disease. Across conditions at least 75% (range: 75-92%) of the extracted concepts could be linked to the ICF. In diabetes mellitus and obesity the most used ICF- categories were ‘general metabolic functions’ (b540), in obstructive pulmonary disease ‘respiratory functions’ (b440) and in chronic ischemic heart disease ‘heart functions’ (b410). Conclusions: In all four health conditions the majority of studies were drug trials focusing on clinically relevant parameters and not on functioning. The ICF provides a useful reference to identify and quantify the concepts contained in outcome measures used in clinical trials.
