 Hard truth:

People who diagnose issues and treat symptoms of disease/injury without addressing the root cause aren’t health professionals. They are disease professionals

Disease professionals are a fiat derivative. They aren’t trained to help people with their health. They aren’t acting in the best interests of those they treat, they are acting in their own interests

They get paid to offer high time preference interventions that myopically focus on pain without ever investigating the root cause or helping patients solve the problem

Disease professionals aren’t bad people. They are often great humans with good intentions who are simply stuck in a shitty fiat game of perverse incentives

Debt from their fiat degrees forces them to continue earning income doing the only thing they are trained to do: treat symptoms

Within the domain of musculoskeletal health (muscles, bones, joints), our protocol will create a new game

A game where individuals can run the software and cure their problems instead of continuing to simply treat the symptoms

Better yet, individuals can run the software to PREVENT all the issues that should never happen (99% of lower body msk issues are preventable)

For disease professionals who want to take a different path and do better, they can run the software on their own body to validate it and then integrate the protocol into their approach with patients
