Within the past five years, many nutritionally and holistically minded health care practitioners have embraced "functional medicine" treatment concepts in dealing with the management of many commonly encountered chronic illnesses, including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis.

It is holistically centered on the principle that restoration of proper cellular metabolism, through reducing cumulative toxic load and chemical stresses to the body, will allow normalization of cellular function.
