Why Integrative Medicine?
Western medical diagnosis and treatments very effectively address patient care in terms of pharmaceuticals and surgery to treat existing illnesses and conditions. There are, however, other aspects to medicine that can be beneficial to patient care, such as; diet, lifestyle, stress management, and addressing nutritional deficiencies that focus on supporting the body and prevention of illness. Therefore, patients who receive both standard western medicine and complementary medicine get the full spectrum of benefit from their health practitioners. The integrative medicine approach is permeating the top rated medical institutions such as the University of Arizona and Duke Integrative Medicine which have incorporated integrative medicine into their medical programs. The Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine lists 44 members in the U.S. and Canada. NIH created the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine and reports that 40% of American adults are using complementary medicine.
