Integrative Medicine - E-Book 4th Edition, Kindle Edition

I am a rheumatologist hoping to get more information about holistic and natural methods that my arthritis patients care about since they mention turmeric and the anti-inflammatory diet quite often. I thought this was just going to be a book about supplements and acupuncture... but it's so much more!!! It describes how a whole-health relationship with a patient should be in the contemporary healthcare era and what a healing relationship really means.The book discusses things that I was previously working on, like shared-decision making and trying to see from the point of view of the patient's culture and belief system, but it really solidified these ideas, made them more concrete, and elevated them to a practice that I aspire to and will work towards. And yes, it does also discuss holistic, natural, complementary, and alternative medicine in thorough detail for every specialty. I would recommend this book to anyone!!!

★★★★★ from MoxxArt on July 28, 2017A European Medical Device Debuts in this Landmark BookThe section in this book contributed by Sunil Pai, MD is excellent as it shares a European Medical device which I believe everyone should learn about because in my opinion this technology is truly the missing link in both Western medicine and alternative. I have been using this device personally and sharing information about it with my clients now for 5 years and feel it offers the cutting edge in the new frontier of electroceutical technology. Now when I pay this device forward to my clients I am delighted to share and recommend this amazing book to not only offer Dr. Pai's contribution about it but also point out that this device will help everything else offered in the book to work more efficiently to help the body heal itself.I believe this book belongs on every physicians desk bookmarked to Dr. Pai's chapter.Celeste Yarnall, Ph.D

This product offers concise, to-the-point, yet comprehensive coverage of the gamut of medical conditions that can present in a family practice. All specialities are covered and all common areas are addressed. The coverage includes synopsis of pathophysiology as well as epidemiology of the condition, the standard care provided with data on effectiveness and results from studies, as well as a large section on integrative and alternative options including many studies and results, as well as dosing to boot. It is a key reference for practitioners using alternative / integrative medicine in their practice or for those who seek to do so.

I'm so grateful to David Rakel for putting this text together for medical students/practitioners. At a time when conventional medicine is sending so many patients into bankruptcy, this text is evidence that empowering patients to participate in their own recovery is key. I look forward to insurance companies including integrative therapies in their covered treatments!

As an RN, there is so much excellent, well-researched and easy to read information in one place - written by experts in their fields of practice. I have a large library of textbooks on healing/alternative healing/Western Medicine... and this is my favorite "Go To book " for every question I have. Exciting new information.

Loving this informative book. If you have an integrative medicine practice this is a good book to have. This is one of my go to’s in my practice.
