AHS19

In recent decades, modern medicine and the pharmaceutical industry has failed to find effective new treatments for virtually all chronic diseases.

This comes in spite of incredible investments of time, energy, and capital, and stands in stark contrast to the technological transformations that have occurred in other areas of human life over the same time frame.

This failure is best explained as a fatal flaw in the central therapeutic paradigm, which seeks to find treatments that intervene at the “source code” level.

Proponents of ancestral health have adopted a new therapeutic paradigm, one that recognizes that holistic, systems-based, “game level” interventions are best suited to the effective treatment and prevention of chronic disease. Yet, practitioners of Ancestral Health lack a cohesive, therapeutic framework for selecting, evaluating, and refining “game level” interventions.

Here, a 4-quadrant model is proposed that formalizes the ancestral approach to treatment and prevention of chronic disease.
