For one thing, "functional medicine" is a the biggest misnomer in "integrative medicine" (which is itself a misnomer). It is not functional, nor is it really medicine, other than bad medicine. 2/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/functional-medicine-the-ultimate-misnomer-in-the-world-of-integrative-medicine/ …

Functional medicine as actually practiced is a disaster of "make shit up as you go along" flailing involving the worst of both worlds: Massive overtesting that at times plagues conventional medicine plus quackery "integrated" into integrative medicine. 3/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/functional-medicine-in-practice/ …

@ClevelandClinic's own genetics experts have condemned the non-science-based genetic testing routinely ordered by functional medicine quacks. 4/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/cleveland-clinic-genetic-experts-call-out-functional-medicine-on-worthless-genetic-testing-and-supplement-prescribing/ …Show this thread -
The bottom line:
@clevelandclinic and@CleClinicMD are, unfortunately, a foremost example of quackademic medicine in action and how "integrating" pseudoscience in the form of "integrative medicine" poisons the scientific basis of medicine. 5/5Show this thread

It's not quackery.
@ClevelandClinic long ago sold it's soul for cash. They don't care about truth. This is just another billable lab, procedure, or visit. To them patients need to be drained of every last dollar. -
Functional medicine is quackery. It combines the worst of "both worlds," specifically the massive overtesting and overtreatment (I've seen hundreds of dubious tests ordered on patients, each "abnormality" to be corrected) combined with quackery like TCM and even homeopathy.
