A paradigm shift. We have been looking at disorders of the gut-brain axis along with other disorders of central processing that fall under the umbrella of fibromyalgia.
The medical model involves using a straightforward cause with a straightforward solution. Examples include type one diabetes, with the loss of insulin by immune destruction of the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. The solution is insulin, and it is life-saving.
Another example is the discovery of anesthesia, allowing surgeons to do life-saving procedures. Penicillin to cure bacterial infections and antiviral medications put the once deadly HIV infection into a lifetime of remission. However, as successful as medicine has been using this medical model to treat conditions like these, it fails to adequately manage those struggling under the umbrella of central pain processing disorders. The paradigm shift is to one have a more bio cycle, social model, the mind, body spirit that is so important, and the multimodal approach to helping those who are struggling.
Dr. Lenz is an internist, pediatrician, lifestyle medicine physician, and clinical lipidologist interested in helping those with fibromyalgia and related problems go beyond just learning to live with it and even reverse fibromyalgia.
