That may or may not be the case. But at any rate the way most of the medicines work is by blocking certain pathways of the body's normal (or abnormal) functions.

So the questions that are raised in my mind are twofold. 1. If a certain function is blocked or reduced to get the desired effect, what other functions are affected in a negative way even though symptoms may improve in the target? In other words, by fixing symptom A are we screwing up functions B, C and D? 2. Is the medication actually fixing the problem or just addressing a symptom of the root cause?

So why not just address the root cause? Most metabolic non-infectious diseases are linked deeply to insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. That is fixable in many if not most cases with diet.
