Overview

Unlike conventional medicine that tends to focus on diagnosis and prescription, integrative medicine takes a much more comprehensive approach. By focusing on why your symptoms manifest the way they do, we seek to identify the root cause behind your disease – so that we can craft a personalized plan just for you.

The information in this book is designed to help you make informed decisions about your health. It is not intended as a substitute for medical treatment. This information should be used in conjunction with the guidance and care of your physician. If you think you have a medical problem, seek competent professional help.

Proceeds from this book will go toward the following non-profits: The Integrative Medicine Fund at The Christ Hospital Foundation. This fund: Supports the training of fellows in integrative medicine. Provides free or low-cost integrative medicine for those who cannot afford it. Helps conduct research in integrative medicine. Maya's Way Fund at The Christ Hospital Foundation. This fund provides free integrative medical care to patients under 40 with cancer.
