What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative Medicine, in a nut shell, as the name implies is the intelligent integration of conventional western medicine with evidence based alternatives. As we already know, in the world of “Alternative Medicine” there are many dogmas and unproven remedies that in some cases might actually be harmful to the patient, harmful in cases when and where the patient choose to utilize unproven remedies instead of rational conventional approach. For example, a patient might have an abdominal pain, without proper medical diagnosis, this abdominal pain, might be an ulcer, appendicitis, even cancer, but seeking and implementing unproven remedies from non regulated professional might put the patient at risk. Furthermore, with Integrative Medicine, we use modern scientific methods both in naturopathic diagnosis and in treatment and will collaborate with the appropriate health care professional when deemed necessary.
