WHAT IS INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE?
For starters, I’ll quote one of my most revolutionary and well-spoken teachers, Andrew Weil, M.D, “Integrative Medicine is the intelligent combination of Conventional and Alternative Medicine.”
Conventional Medicine:
* A method in which cutting-edge biomedical science and evidence based practices are used to create a state that opposes or fixes disease.
* Refers to a knowledge and skill set which is taught in US Medical Schools.
* Sometimes used synonymously with “Allopathic Medicine” or “Orthodox medicine.”
Integrative Medicine:
* Prevention and healing oriented, rather than disease-driven.
* Recognizes the innate capacity of the body to repair itself
* Honors the doctor-patient relationship such that the patient is empowered to be their own best health advocate
* Considers the whole person in the body-mind-energetic continuum
* Envisions the ecology of health.
* Open-minded as well as scientifically discerning
* Uses natural, less invasive strategies whenever possible
* Prescribes pharmaceuticals when necessary best practice.
