A Return To Healing Chapter 8: Creating an Integrative Clinic
submitted by: admin on 05/08/2015

American Society for Integrated Medical Practitioners with Russell Jaffe, MD
submitted by: admin on 05/12/2015
This new approach to medicine is based on integrative, holistic, person-centered care where the relationship between the patient and practitioner is sacred.

Are Knee Replacements Over-Prescribed
submitted by: admin on 05/19/2015
According to an article published in the June 2014 issue of the journal, Arthritis and Rheumatism, only 44% of knee replacements were indicated! This means that 56% weren't clearly indicated.

Blending Mainstream and CAM Treatments with Marc Weill
submitted by: admin on 09/19/2013
Mainstream and CAM independently work together, but there's little integration between the two. Generally, patients keep this a secret from the other group. Being a quarterback to guide the inclusion of whatever is needed works better.
Body Mind Connections with Ofer Erez
submitted by: admin on 09/19/2013
Body, mind, emotion, and spirit are perspectives of the whole person. Yet it is possible to separate the functions of each of these perspectives and look at a cooperation between the various "parts."

Cancer Prevention
submitted by: admin on 02/16/2015
The early detection of cancer is often confused with cancer prevention. It is far better to not get cancer than to deal with even the very earliest of cancers. A healthy lifestyle is the most powerful medicine in the universe and it is within our power to pay attention to the style in which we live our lives!
We know what causes cancer and it is straightforward...
