Questions & Answers
Question: Explain, if you will, the difference between your FRT, “health” model based program and the usual “disease” model that doctors today follow.
Answer: Doctors receive a degree in Medicine, which makes them experts at
crises care, diagnosis, and disease management. To satisfy the requirements of their expertise, health is taught and practiced in accordance to what is termed, “The BioMedical Model of Disease”, or what is commonly known as The Disease Model.
Health, under this model, is defined as the absence of disease, infection, injury, and risk factors. It also includes good immunity through vaccinations and antibiotics, and a socially accepted mental status. This “Disease Model” is depicted in the following graphical manner:
Every doctor knows that underlying events occur prior to when a disease label comes on. Yet, standard of care has not allowed them to place their focus on this prospect, the exception being the role played by risk factor intervention, vaccination, biofeedback, and through portions of the standard, pyramid-based dietary recommendations. To this extent, the health model that we’ve developed for FRT recognizes the key markers of the disease model while otherwise going to far greater lengths to get at the underlying cause of disease, infection, cancer, and toxicity.
In seeking to establish the basis for an objectively measured health model, Sam Queen joined with the late H.B. Wallace, who then administered the Wallace Research Foundation, to search the literature for a set of common denominators that tended to underlie all diseases. The emphasis on this approach had been influenced even before their discussions by Sam’s first mentor, R.B.H. Gradwohl, MD., who is today considered as the father of Forensic Pathology in America.
One of Dr. Gradwohl’s Forensic tenets was to insist on looking at the bigger picture before you engaged in more detailed testing. So, on his advice, and the insistence of Mr. Wallace that common denominators were likely to be found by reviewing old research…standing far enough back from the trees so as to get a better view of the forest, we ultimately recognized that health and disease were separated by the presence or not of six subclinical factors identified through chemistry.
Health, then, among other recognized attributes, was seen in the literature to be punctuated by the balance of six subclinical events, described as follows:
As you begin your health program by addressing the common denominator that is closest to the center and then work outwards what happens is that risk factors, disease, toxicity, and infection becomes more manageable.
Later, as you become more sophisticated with the recognition and delivery of this health approach, you will see protein in a different light, that its status of intake absorption, use, turnover, and reuse serves in a connecting role in supporting and altering each of these subclinical events.
FRT becomes the system by which we assess and/or implement a health model in your practice.
