Part 4: Doctors’ Blind Spots Regarding Environmental Illness

While modern medicine is primarily practiced by traditional medical doctors, I have learned over the past decade that many illnesses are often caused by unknown environmental elements that fall into ‘blind spots’ to most medical doctors (MDs). This by no means suggests that modern medicine is not extraordinary in diagnosing and treating chronic diseases, or performing lifesaving procedures. Physicians do regularly address allergies and bacterial pathogens. However, the impact of mold as a pathogen, an immune response trigger, or investigation of toxic poisoning is not standard with today’s western medicine. It does suggest the obvious.

“For any physician to diagnose environmental illness, they have to learn about it, probe for relevant environmental information, and understand how detoxification can be influenced in order to treat it. This type of training is not standard in medical schools today.”

This article will discuss why environmental illness is often overlooked or misdiagnosed.  This leads to extraordinary human and financial costs for patients.  Unfortunately, it is the patients that carry the burden of identifying the potential environmental toxic elements as well as finding the right Doctors or face a lengthy and debilitating period until diagnosed properly.
