An excerpt from The Metaphor of an Oceanic Disease:
“The concept of an oceanic disease is spawned from the ecology from our modern industrialized societies' major illnesses. It is an understanding of disease that comes, not from linear thinking embodied in the false metaphor that a disease causes its symptoms, but from a concept of an epidemic that is systemic - not only in the sense of being general but also in the sense of being understood in terms of systems theory: a web of interacting factors. As a clinician, I find myself easily lost in my efforts to find the most accessible and productive strands in each patient's web. My epiphanies beginning in 2006 at the IFM Symposium and culminating with Esselstyn's very specific studies of end stage cardiovascular disease have led me to a new appreciation of the raw power of a diet to promote healing."
