Any physician applied treatment plan should Support the Three Systemic Functions while the treatment is being applied. In other words, the disease shouldn't be treated at the cost of the patient's health!

Example: One of the main mechanisms of chronic illness is a buildup of toxins in the body. Effective treatment includes removing the toxins. But detoxification programs are often too aggressive (detoxify too quickly) and deplete the patient's already weakened Vitality Function. The patient has less Vitality to maintain the detoxified state, so usually toxins build up in the tissues again and symptoms return. Stagnation or depletion of Vitality was part of the original cause of the problem. This further depletion of Vitality can also lead to other symptoms and diseases.

A more effective approach, used in traditional natural therapeutics, is to keep the patient's Vitality up, Blood Quality balanced, and Blood Circulation and Neuro-function gently invigorated during detoxification and other treatments. In this way recovery is more thorough and permanent, assuming the individual continues to practice the Five Systemic Health Techniques.
