Assessment shouldn't be based on intuition! A "Symptom → True Cause" thinking template that every Hong Kong resident should know.

Dr. Eric Berg explains that a true health assessment isn't something that can be answered by asking a single question, but rather a logical process that starts with symptoms and traces the underlying causes step by step . The following is a complete breakdown:

🧠 The three-step assessment process: Symptoms → Data → Root Cause

step	illustrate
1️Symptoms ( Effect )	For example: fatigue, depression, pain, gastrointestinal discomfort
2️ Data	Ask questions, understand their background, diet, lifestyle, and timing.
3️ Cause	Based on the data, deduce the most likely root cause.

👉 Assessment = Connecting symptoms with the underlying cause

🔍 Assessment Techniques: Asking the Right Questions Leads to Answers

The most important question: "When does it start?"

For example: "When do you start to feel tired?"
When did you start experiencing insomnia/weight gain/pain?

Further inquiries into changes in the background:

Has your diet changed?
Have you experienced any stressful events?
Have you started any new habits/medications/supplements?

🧠 Real case: Right lower abdominal pain

Preliminary assessment: Possibly an ovarian issue.
However, the patient is 83 years old , ruling out the possibility of ovarian complications.
Further questioning revealed that the person had initially started drinking cranberry juice.
Conclusion: Cranberries may dissolve kidney stones → stone movement causes pain.
✅ Key: Knowing that cranberries affect the kidneys + Asking the right questions

😞 Emotional symptoms also need to be clearly defined.

symptom	Possible reasons
Depression (eye fatigue)	A lack of protein in breakfast can lead to unstable blood sugar .
Depression (heaviness in the head)	Previous brain injury → old injury not yet healed
Depression (exhaustion)	Sleep disorders → poor sleep quality
Anxiety (chest pressure)	Autonomic nervous system imbalance / intestinal problems

👉 Defining symptom sensations is essential to identifying the correct physiological mechanisms.

🧾 In conclusion: Don't assume that "symptoms = disease name" anymore. Knowing how to ask the right questions is key to truly finding the cause of the illness.

Starting today, cultivate a habit of asking about specific times, develop a mindset of understanding bodily mechanisms, and follow a logical process of constantly tracing causes to lay a solid foundation for your health!

Don't be misled by the "surface symptoms" myth anymore. True health comes from asking clear questions, investigating thoroughly, and making accurate connections! 💪🧠🔍
