Natural, Integrative Medicine
Natural, Integrative Medicine is based on the principle that the body is a self healing organism. In order to enable the body to heal itself, the patient must be willing to cooperate with the inherent healing capacity within the body. Diet and lifestyle modifications are recommended based upon functional medical tests that evaluate blood, stool, urine and saliva. Each specific test is designed to measure the function of the organ or system of the body. Delayed food sensitivities test (E.L.I.S.A. blood test), Comprehensive Stool Tests, LIver Function Tests, Hair anylsis for toxic metals, Saliva hormone testing, nutrient defciency test (MNT multiple nutrient anylisis for 32 different nutrients and several other tests are employed to determine if any body parts or systems have weaknesses, deficencies or excesses. Many people have symptoms of ill health but may not have a well definable illness. In Natural, Integrative Medicine, the goal is to not combat the body by treating a specific illness, but work with it to bring the bodies chemical processes into balance. Natural, Integrative Medicine uses conventional, and novel, laboratory testing to help determine the biochemical imbalances or "glitches" that may lead to symptoms or illness.
