> whole medicine study is a joke since it focuses on symptom treatment and not treatment of the cause(s)

This is bunk. Antibiotics, chemotherapy and gene therapy are three treatments, off the top of my head, that are proven to treat causes and not symptoms.

Functional Medicine, on the other hand, has a history of being fined for false marketing [1]. I would be shocked if an entire percent of medical practitioners would touch it.
