The New Mindset
Dear Readers,AS MUCH AS THE WORDS "INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE" HAVE BEEN FLOATING AROUND FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, THE TRUE DEFINITION OF THIS APPROACH TO HEALTH CARE IS GREATLY MISUNDERSTOOD. MANY BELIEVE THAT IT IS A BLENDING OF ALTERNATIVE MODALITIES. NOT SO. INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE IS A PROPER BLENDING AND BALANCE OF CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE AND ALTERNATIVE MODALITIES IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THE HEALING PROCESS. THIS CANNOT BE EFFECTIVELY ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT THE PHYSICIAN BEING TRAINED THOROUGHLY IN BOTH WORLDS OF MEDICINE. THE BALANCE OF MODALITIES IS DELICATE AND MUST BE DESIGNED FOR EACH PATIENT - A CUSTOMIZED TREATMENT PLAN IF YOU WILL.
