Integrative Medicine

• Integrative Medicine is healing and emphasizes the doctor-patient relationship.
• It focuses on the least invasive and least toxic methods to help facilitate health by using the best of conventional and natural approaches.
• Integrative Medicine involves identifying the underlying cause of the symptom or illness and removing the barrier to allow the body to heal.
• The person is seen and evaluated as a whole person, not just a body part.

To quote Sir William Osler, the father of medicine, "It is much more important to know what sort of patient has a disease than what sort of disease a patient has."
