The bottleneck to getting humanity healthy is not the lack of cures. It's the lack of proper diagnosis.
I know this is controversial, however, after being steeped in the top circles of neurologists, functional medicine practitioners, and doctors of all kinds..
There is a massive difference of results top practitioners are getting their patients, vs the average practitioner.
Yet, they have access to the same tools.
The difference does not come down to educaition level I believe, as most practitioners want to be more educated, in fact, it's why they entered the field in the first place.
I believe the gap, and thus, the ultimate bottleneck of getting huminaty healthy, is the limtiing beliefs of the average practitioner.
And if we drill down even further, it comes down to traeting the illness and instad of the patient.
Let me demonstrate this in a very easy way to understand.
Let's say a loved one is diagnosed with dementia.
Average Practitioner: Lets look up the latest treatments for dementia, and scower clinical trials and see how we can best fit those for this patient.
Top 1% practitioner: There are around 3 dozen (that we currently know of) potential causes for dementia, so which ones (not a single one, but mostly combined factors) are causing the physiological imbalances in this patient.
This practitioner than goes through a validated framework for determining the most likely contributors, and starts addressing those.
Average Practitioner results- Since there are no drugs that currenty stop or reverse dementia, patient may slow decline, but ultimately continues down a not so good trajectory.
Top 1% practitioner results- Patient improves cognitive function, and if caught early enough, regains 100% cognitive function, sometimes more than when before they were ill.
The key lesson here, although I'm extremely excited for what AI is allowing us to accomplish in medicine, the limiting factor to humanity getting healthier not cures, it's adopting a new model of thinking that allows us to use the tools we already possess as practitioners to reverse and prevent diseases that we once thought were incurable.
If you're a regular person reading this, find a practitioner who treats you, not your label. The vast majority of diseases we once throught were incurable, through this framing, are indeed treatable.
