The nature of medicine and the medicine of nature

I practice integrative medicine.At any time, the correct treament for a patients illness is what a treatment or a group of treatment measures gets a patient well.Ofcourse, no harm comes first.

Over time, the nature of medicine has changed. There is ever less time with patients. There is ever more reliance on technology and drugs. These can offer powerful benefits, but at times there are kinder, gentler modalities to get the same job done. The best treatment for any given patient is that blend of what works best, what is safest, and what conforms best to that patients preference.

Iam following in footsteps of my peer physicians,Dr.David Katz M.D,Dr.Mark Hyman M.D,Dr.Dean Ornish, M.D

I feel ahead of others when I practice integrative medicine as I am able to offer lot more options for treatment.
