The human body is a complex machine comprised of multi organ system working in unison to maintain function and homeostasis.
In effect, any injury, disease or condition impacting one organ system can manifest and harm other organs. So basically disease don't always have a single organ point of origin or manifestation.
Here lies the issue with contemporary medicine and it's concept of specialist medicine.
For example we have psychiatrists, who are specialists in mental healthcare. Certain mental health issues and conditions can originate in the gut. Since psychiatrists don't specialize in the digestive system, how can such a specialist provide effective care and treatment for all patients if they don't address certain root causes in mental health like gut health?
The same way hormones play a role in regulating behavior and mood. This is endocrinology, outside the specialty of psychiatry. Again, the psychiatrist is not capable of providing appropriate and effective care in such circumstances where the root cause are hormonal issues.
Another example is immunology. Again, immune function is shaped by both nutrition and gut health. These are outside the scope of the speciality of immunology. So in circumstances where immune system issues originate in the gut, the immunologist will be incapable of addressing and treating the root cause.
One last example is cardiology. I will myself as an example. I had ongoing chronic issues with palpitations and exercise intolerance. The cardiologist performed tests but was incapable of identifying the root cause. Ultimately it was a deficiency of essential minerals like magnesium and not once did the specialist cardiologist allude to the fact it could be due to a deficiency.
This concept of specialist medicine requires a complete overhaul as it's not up to standard to comprehend and effectively treat disease and conditions which have multiple origins in the body.
