The New Wave of Integrative Medicine
A new wave of health care is upon us with the evolution of IPAs,
HMOs and other insurance programs trying to re-define health care.
Wellness strategies being promoted are in every journal and magazine
from JAMA to Lancet, to Time, Newsweek and dozens of books on complementary
and alternative medicine. The resulting public awareness is creating
a whole new paradigm.
The trend to complementary care is patient driven, but patients
are looking to their physicians for leadership toward health and
wellness. Chronic illness affects 45 percent of our U.S. population,
and accounts for 85 percent of all health expenditures. The Center
of Disease Control reports 54 percent of heart disease, 49 percent
of atherosclerosis and 30 to 90 percent of cancer is preventable.
Should we resist and stay as we have been, treating disease with
drugs, old and new, or consider the possibility of integrating elements
of health care to our practices? Many of you have questions such
as what really works: Is it ethical? Is it profitable? Where can
I learn a tried and proven program?
Nutrition co-therapies is now well established in peer reviewed
medical journals. The value of the use of folic acid, calcium and
mineral supplements is proven, as represented in a growing body
of data. In the Archives of Family Medicine Vol. IX, March 2000
the results from the third National Health and Nutrition survey
reveals the growing acceptance and supplementation of vitamins.
Our focus at Immune Solutions in Practice is on disease prevention,
promoting high level wellness and advancing the concepts of pro-longevity.
This is accomplished using methods from documented clinical studies,
proven in placebo controlled double blind trials all of which show
effective results using state-of-the-art nutraceuticals. We have
over 10 years of proven success.
Our board of advisors have all successfully integrated wellness
in their practices and are pleased to talk to you about their experiences
and are available as consultants to help you become successful.
If you are interested in integrating wellness and holistic health
care into your practice, please continue your review of our Web
site and call us with your interest.
Sincerely,
Leroy Moore, M.D.
