This book takes Complexity Theory and applies it to medicine where
it has previously made little ground. It provides new hypotheses
for multiple common but misunderstood diseases. Doctors in
particular will understand that many diseases have remained
unsolved due to a linear approach to what are complex biological
systems, and failure to understand and apply Complexity Theory.
Therefore, many common conditions have no known cause and
consequently treatments are either ineffectual or non-existant,
when many of these diseases are in fact preventable. There is
growing interest in non-linear science, dynamic systems, chaos and
complexity theory. This trend has directly involved other sciences,
including biology, but has been little touched on by medicine.
Readers of this book will: * Understand the difference between
Linear Science and Complexity Theory, and how medicine has failed
to apply the latter. * Recognise the advantages of using this
understanding to generate realistic hypotheses for cause of
disease. * Read how hypotheses so generated have been formulated
for a number of common diseases.
