The next frontier in medicine isn’t another drug.

It’s a radical shift in how we view the body, the brain, and disease itself.

Depression is often rooted in systemic inflammation, gut dysbiosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, trauma, or disrupted circadian rhythms. ADHD may be tied to neuroinflammation, poor blood sugar control, or nutritional gaps like low magnesium, zinc, or omega-3s. And heart disease? It’s largely a food-borne illness, driven by a diet of ultra-processed, inflammatory, nutrient-poor calories.

There is no single root cause. But there are root causes.
And they are almost always connected by lifestyle, environment, and systems-level dysfunction.

Medications have their place… But they were never designed to reverse chronic disease. They manage symptoms, often while the underlying dysfunction worsens.

If we want to reverse the chronic disease epidemic, mental and physical, we need to stop asking what drug treats this and start asking why the body lost balance in the first place.

The answer isn’t in the pharmacy… It’s in how we eat, move, sleep, connect, and live.
It’s in our soil, our food system, our communities, our kitchens.

The next revolution in medicine will come not from the lab but from returning to the root.

Sometimes the key to maintaining bodily balance is UNbalanced treatment. More on this side, less on this side, etc.. Sometimes a symmetrical approach simply maintains existing asymmetry.

“Inflammation can happen without healing, but healing cannot happen without inflammation.”

It’s high time that we start to respect the natural processes of healing, especially in regards to inflammation. Using ice and anti-inflammatory drugs such as NSAIDS retards the inflammatory cycle and sets us up to potentially develop chronic pain.

I suspect our love and outdated thinking in the use of all things anti-inflammatory has been a huge driver in the development and persistence of the epidemic of chronic pain that we are currently in.

Our thinking with RAPID is to re-ignite the inflammatory cascade in these painful areas to finish what was initially started however to this time -do it properly. Of course if you’ve been following this page for any length of time, you know this is turning out to be a very effective strategy.
