"Life is not merely being alive, but being well."
-- Apigrams, AD66
What is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative Medicine is a system of health care that fosters a cooperative relationship among all those involved, optimizing the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of health. It emphasizes the need to look at the whole person, including analysis of physical, nutritional, environmental, emotional, social, spiritual, and lifestyle values. Integrative medicine focuses on education and taking personal responsibility for achieving balance and well being.

How do I choose the best treatments and practitioners?
Many of the same criteria used to choose a conventional doctor apply to choosing an Integrative Medicine practitioner. However, because the alternative approach is far more encompassing than the conventional one, a number of additional factors apply to the selection process. You need to know as much as possible about the treatment's safety and effectiveness, the practitioner's credibility, and the quality of service delivery.
Keeping your doctor informed about the healing alternatives you choose is critical to your treatment success. Alternative providers should facilitate that communication process - either by talking with doctors directly or by helping you explain these alternatives.
