“Awaken the best doctor within you.”

Let's escape from the 'cell damage' that causes all kinds of diseases through 'self-healing' and be free from accelerated aging, blood sugar spikes, and adult diseases!

It is known that there are approximately 30 trillion cells that make up the human body.
Cells are constantly being damaged and repaired by metabolic waste products or incoming toxins or pollutants.
If more damage is done than is repaired, function may decline and develop into disease.
Functional medicine is the discipline that helps you maintain that feeling of well-being, like after a sweaty workout or a deep sleep.
For example, the lungs, heart, brain, muscles, liver, and kidneys have their own unique functions.
The tissues and organs of the human body perform their own functions while organically cooperating with each other. Functional medicine aims to help each tissue and organ work together harmoniously.

Functional medicine reduces inflammation and replenishes deficient nutrients based on the principles of health.
After that, we wait for the body to recover on its own through the body's own healing process, which is the best doctor in the body.
Functional medicine places importance on the patient's own immune system.
Ultimately, we focus on patient education, emphasizing the importance of the patient's own role in enabling them to heal themselves.
This is why patients treated by functional medicine doctors are less likely to experience a recurrence of the same condition.


What you really need to eat to be healthy isn't medicine.

In fact, it is better not to get cancer than to treat it after you have it.
Director Oh Gi-chang recommends eight "health revolutions" to readers that are essential for living a healthy life in the 100-year era.
These are the dining revolution, exercise revolution, sleep revolution, stomach revolution, bone revolution, blood vessel revolution, brain revolution, and immune revolution.
Among them, what Director Oh Gi-chang emphasizes the most is the ‘table revolution.’
It is often said that food makes me.
This refers to the absolute influence that food has on health.
Foods and processed foods that are low in nutrients and full of toxins are threatening our health.
Immunity determines health, and unhealthy foods cause immune system disruption and lead to various diseases.


So, how should we eat to stay healthy? "So, Patients Come to Rural Hospitals" details the dietary changes essential for creating a healthy Republic of Korea from a functional medicine perspective.
It also details why you should eat brown rice instead of white rice, how to properly consume the three major nutrients based on scientific statistics and evidence, how to diet healthily, and healthy cooking methods and coffee consumption methods that do not produce carcinogens.
If you're considering intermittent fasting, there are plenty of interesting topics to explore, including clear answers to the question of whether skipping breakfast or dinner is better, and the truth about saturated fat intake.


Vitamin C, the miraculous nutrient that saves my body

Since Columbus discovered the New World, long-distance voyages have become more active, and many sailors have fallen ill with scurvy.
Scurvy is a disease in which blood vessels are destroyed and bleeding occurs due to a deficiency of vitamin C.
Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of adrenal hormones, and when adrenal hormones decrease, blood pressure drops.
Additionally, the antioxidant action of vitamin C is necessary for the heart muscle to work without rest.
Vitamin C deficiency can impair heart function, leading to arrhythmia or cardiac arrest.
That is, the cause of scurvy is cardiac arrest.
Vitamin C is found in fresh vegetables and fruits, but because it has a short shelf life, it was not loaded onto ships, which resulted in severe vitamin C deficiency among the sailors after a month or two.


Nowadays, there are no cases of scurvy due to lack of vitamin C intake.
However, if the body's vitamin C is completely depleted due to extreme chronic stress, hypotensive shock or cardiac arrest may occur.
The 'sudden death' or 'death from overwork' of young people is the scurvy of modern people.
In the past, sailors did not consume enough of it, but modern people consume it excessively, and ultimately, the ultimate cause of scurvy is vitamin C depletion.
The characteristics of modern people are high workload, stress, and chronic fatigue.
As this happens, the amount of vitamin C consumed increases, so it is safe to say that most modern people are deficient in vitamin C.


Vitamin C is a very good nutrient that enhances digestion and immunity, kills cancer cells, increases endurance when taken right before exercise, and prevents cataracts.
Vitamin D is also an essential nutrient that helps prevent osteoporosis, boost immunity, increase muscle strength, prevent cardiovascular disease, relieve pain, control diabetes, and enhance mental function.
Iodine, which has antioxidant effects and prevents various types of cancer, including thyroid cancer, is also a miraculous elixir.
In "So Patients Come to Rural Hospitals," the efficacy and use of various health supplements, including vitamins C and D, iodine, and omega-3, are introduced.
