Medicina funcional / Functional Medicine (Spanish Edition)

Cáncer, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, obesidad, demencias y artritis son algunas de las enfermedades crónicas más comunes del siglo XXI. Frente al enfoque fragmentario de la medicina convencional —que trata síntomas con farmacología y aborda al paciente por órganos o sistemas— surge una propuesta renovadora: la medicina funcional, que se enfoca en la causa raíz de los trastornos, la relación cuerpo-mente y la autosanación. En Medicina funcional: comprender, cuestionar y transformar la salud, el Dr. Alexander O. Krouham y su padre, Pablo Krouham, nos ofrecen una obra revolucionaria sobre salud integral, que impulsa un enfoque holístico del bienestar humano, reconectando con la esencia del arte médico: escuchar al paciente, entender su historia y acompañarlo en su transformación. Este libro propone una forma clara y crítica de entender las enfermedades, cuestionando mitos de la medicina tradicional, la industria farmacéutica y los sistemas de salud. Sin fórmulas mágicas ni promesas vacías, invita al lector a asumir un rol activo y consciente en el cuidado de su cuerpo, mente y espíritu. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The future of health. Cancer, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, dementia and arthritis are some of the predominant diseases of the 21st century. The approach of conventional medicine has been fragmented, treating patients by organs and systems, and always using pharmacology to suppress biological functions in an attempt to control ailments. In contrast, functional medicine focuses on the person rather than the disease, delving deeply into all its facets: physical, psychological, and spiritual. It strengthens the doctor-patient relationship, restores biological functions, and stimulates self-healing mechanisms. It returns to the essence of this science and its art, talking to the individual and listening to them, in order to recognize the causes of their disorders with the aim of reversing and curing them. In Medicina funcional (Functional Medicine), Dr. Alexander O. Krouham and his father, Pablo Krouham, offer a new perspective, demystifying traditional views to restore the importance of our commitment to health and remind us that we have a right to fulfillment. Without prescriptions or magic formulas, in a clear and concise manner, they stimulate our intellect so that we dare to question what we know in order to live longer and better.
