The future of Disease Care medicine is described as Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, Participatory, and Precision.  But Dr. Prather says all of those elements are already available in the Structure-Function Health Care that he practices.  In this episode, find out:

—The FDA distinction between Disease Care Medicine and Structure-Function Health Care.
—Why Dr. Prather says that "Structure-Function has always had the 5 P's" which are "integral" to this philosophy of care.
—How Structure-Function Health Care is best known for its preventative benefits, but should also be better known for its necessity after a disease has already developed.
—How the functional lab tests at Holistic Integration can "pick up on problems way before they come", which can then be prevented.
—Why Dr. Prather cautions against drastic action because of genetic tests that show a tendency of a patient to develop a disease in the future.
—The amazing story of a patient during the AIDS crisis who developed all the symptoms of AIDS after receiving what turned out to be a false HIV-positive test, but the symptoms disappeared after the second (and correct) negative test came back.
—How Dr. Prather encouragingly says that "everything can be changed, everything can be helped, and everything can be prevented".  And why his experience with patients causes him to conclude that "having the right attitude makes all the difference in the world".
—The importance of keeping the body structurally-aligned, as well as functionally-aligned, for the prevention of future issues.  And how Dr. Prather sees that 90% of people no longer fit the "normal" pattern of structural alignment due to changes that he never witnessed at the start of his career 40 years ago.
—The reason Dr. Prather says anti-Cholesterol statin drugs have done "more harm than good".  And why using Cholesterol drugs as a preventative for future Cardiovascular Disease has failed.
—Why Dr. Prather says that his three foundational lab tests (The Prather Profile Bloodwork, a Hair Analysis, and a stool kit) are usually all he needs to get a patient healthy before the need for "fancy" testing.
