I have been involved with Integrative Medicine (IM) since 8 years now, including it in my Gynecology practice, and since almost a year now I am practicing it full time. I have given away my laparoscopy equipment, since I am thoroughly convinced about the potential, the results and the logic of an Integrative approach to healing.

Anyone who is following my blog, or has knowledge about the subject, knows that the approach is very simple – get the body into balance so that it can heal itself.

Once the body is in balance, it can recover. Illness can recede, paving the way to good health. Without any side effects. Contrast with the traditional approach, which I practised for 30 years. Never could we claim to reverse chronic conditions, only control them, often at the cost of possible damage to other organs from side effects of the synthetic medicines.

It is self evident that, even someone who chooses to follow the traditional route to treating illness, will benefit from adopting IM principles. After all, we are what we eat so it follows that if we eat well, our nutritional status and therefore our immune status, is optimum. And if immune status is optimum, no illness can come close, be it a respiratory infection, or diabetes, or even cancer.

That is the reason everyone – ‘normal healthy’ individuals, or persons taking traditional treatment for any illness – cardiovascular disease, acne, cancer, anything – will always benefit from following IM principles. It can only help faster and more complete recovery. There is NO downside.

Just BeHealthy. And StayHealthy!
