Your doctor too, is just guessing most of the time

it should be evident that one-size-fits-all research contributes to our one-size-fits-all notions about health and nutrition. Even your family doctor experiments or guesses about what drug he or she prescribes for you, basing the decision on one-size-fits-all perspective with perhaps a little more differentiation (hopefully). Your doctor will be quick to change prescriptions if you don't react favorably, however— he or she is merely guessing about what's right for you in the first place! imagine if your doctor could differentiate human uniqueness better from the start and prescribe a drug perfectly matched to you. Patients would respond faster, with far fewer side effects.

unfortunateiy, our modern medical system is far too engrossed in a one-size-fits-all philosophy, in much the same way as our drugless and preventive medicine practices. Societal emphasis on the one-size-fits-all mindset is reinforced by the practices of both modern medicine and alternative medicine; society's rigidity on this point has ultimately gotten us into a health rut (more about that in Chapter II). As it stands today, we duplicate one-size-fits-all practices habitually without giving it a second thought.
