(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 02, 2010 ) Greenville, SC – Chronic symptoms can pose a severe challenge for traditionally trained medical practitioners. Because the human body functions as a whole, a problem in one bodily system can interact with another problem somewhere else to produce seemingly unrelated, puzzling symptoms. With its next enrollment beginning in September 2010, Functional Medicine University teaches both alternative and traditional medical practitioners how to track down the root causes of a patient’s poor health and eliminate the malfunctionings that triggered the pain and suffering (www.functionalmedicineuniversity.com).

“Many people suffer from complex combinations of symptoms that don’t get better with advanced surgery or the latest drugs,” says Dr. Ron Grisanti, D.C., a Functional Medicine educator who leads the Functional Medicine University program. “Functional Medicine approaches each patient as a unique individual whose lifestyle, genetics, personal history and environmental exposures combine to create symptoms that can be reversed through diet, exercise, stress reduction, detoxification, lifestyle changes and other custom-designed interventions.”

Functional Medicine University’s holistic training includes techniques for understanding, identifying and treating complex patient problems, as well as how to integrate Functional Medicine efficiently and profitably into a new or existing health care practice. Case studies used in the training include just about any kind of symptoms a practitioner might confront in a patient, from breathing difficulties to digestive discomfort to chemotherapy-induced exhaustion.

The next round of Functional Medicine University training starts in September 2010. It costs $1,995, and payment plans are available. Participants include chiropractors, naturopaths, nutritionists, acupuncturists, massage therapists and M.D.’s. For details on the training or to sign up, go to www.functionalmedicineuniversity.com.
