Is it Catch-22?

Or is there some leverage?

 

Our 1-to-1 clients are facing some complex and tough challenges. And these aren’t just the ones that they come to us looking for solutions for.

 

They are also the challenges that come up along the way!

 

Understandably – the initial response can be that these things are perceived as a ‘Catch-22’ or ‘stuck between a rock and a hard place’.

 

“….a dilemma or difficult circumstance from which there is no escape because of mutually conflicting or dependent conditions.”

 

It’s a great book and an amazing play! But in principle it is black or white. All or nothing.

 

There is no ‘grey area’.

 

Take, for example our recent post about our client identifying a major Pathogenic Infection that was causing a toxic effect in the body – but steps to eradicate the pathogen may cause more toxicity!!

 

On one hand it is a breakthrough of sorts to identify a potentially key piece of the puzzle. Yet with this client’s particular pathogenic bacterial infection, the conventional Medical treatment of Antibiotics is actually contraindicated due to the increased risk of HUS (toxic effect)! The same goes for botanical antimicrobials too.

 

Rather than perceiving this as a catch-22, in these situations at the Functional Health Clinic we are always looking for leverage.

 

We share some key aspects of these principles and how to leverage the ‘grey area’ in the ‘REWIRE’ Phase.

 

What else can be optimised around these findings to increase the ability of the detoxification and elimination system to cope effectively with toxins and the immune system to safely and effectively eradicate a pathogen.

 

How do we get the body (system of systems) into a position where it can function and perform in a more effective way and beyond what it appears capable of currently?

 

Given the extensive functional medicine assessments we were to run we were confident we would identify some more significant drivers and opportunities for leverage.
