The Three Approaches to Healthcare

Academy of Comprehensive Integrative Medicine provides an infrastructure through which health professionals and people in the general public worldwide can come to share and advance their knowledge and understanding about the whole health and wellness of the human mind, body, and spirit.  It is a bridge between Western Medicine, Traditional Medicine, and New Medicine.

The “Western Medicine” has developed over the last 150 years and is taught in medical schools of the United States and other countries and is responsible for many significant accomplishments, including diagnostic imaging procedures and life-saving surgical techniques.  “Traditional Medicine,” on the other hand, has been effectively used in hundreds of millions of patients over the last 2,000 to 6,000 years.  Today, “Traditional Medicine” continues to excel in the treatment of many chronic illnesses, especially those related to toxicity and disturbances of body energetics.  The third school of medicine, “New Medicine,” includes diagnostics such as electrodermal screening and therapeutics such as pulsed electromagnetic field therapy.  These methodologies have been developed during the last 60 to 80 years, predominantly in Russia, Germany, and the United States. “New Medicine” has helped tens of thousands of patients when both “Traditional Medicine” and “Western Medicine” have failed to resolve their conditions.  A practitioner who uses two or more of these types of medical care to treat their patients is considered to be an integrative medical practitioner.
The Academy Philosophy
Most integrative practitioners, especially those in the Academy, understand that their patients should have an active, rather than a passive, role in their own health care, and that the most effective diagnostic and treatment approach will often incorporate components of “Traditional Medicine,” “Western Medicine,” and “New Medicine.”  Each patient is a complex being consisting of spirit, mind, and body.  It is important to understand the intricate interactions between the various elements that make up each individual and, to the extent possible, give that individual the opportunity to become deeply involved in their own healing.  Each person has been created with the remarkable ability to be healed from within.  Equipping health professionals in assisting an individual to heal as naturally and completely as possible is a worthy goal that we at the Academy embrace passionately and fully. 
To this end, we will bring to the health professional all the best knowledge available, no matter the source.  Some currently effective treatments taught by the Academy professionals have been used for well over 2,000 years, and some are remarkably new and innovative.
