Emphasis on the root cause of my problems

As a lifelong “healthy” guy (marathon runner) who has always worked out frequently, it was a real shock when I suffered a heart attack in 2004. At the time of the heart attack, I had been taking medication for high cholesterol for the previous two years and had my “numbers” well within the proper levels (under 180 total cholesterol). It was after the heart attack that I decided to find the cause of my problems and cure those problems naturally, rather than continue just masking symptoms with medicines. Dr. Tracy has been a tremendous resource for information and guidance in helping me restore my body to its proper balance so that my energy levels are high and I am at significantly lower risk for a recurrence of the heart condition. Her emphasis on getting to the root cause of my problems instead of just getting rid of symptoms makes perfect sense to me and leaves me wondering why the heck “real” doctors don’t see the logic of such a philosophy.
