LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW 1) Introduction (1 min) Integrative medicine is an approach to wellness that combines: Conventional (traditional Western) medicine, which includes drugs, surgery, and lifestyle changes. It helps maximize wellness for people with chronic and complex diseases. It combines conventional and complementary medicine practices. This principle of complementarity is at the heart of integrative medicine. An abundance of research shows that integrating multiple forms of medicine in a complementary way can have an additive effect and can be more effective than relying on any one approach by itself.

Integrative Medicine (IM) is a healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person, including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and patient, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapies. – Andrew Weil, MD ✓ Also known as integrative health care which means bringing conventional and complementary approaches together in a coordinated way. – National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) Key Concepts 1. Patient-centered Care This means putting the patient at the center of the provider’s care, partnering with the patient, and removing patient labels. Hence, this allows for providers to help patients to look at their goals and desires for their optimal health. 2. Inclusive Approach The inclusive approach to healthcare means that providers utilize evidence-based approaches as well as complementary medicine modalities, therapies, and treatments. Integrative medicine providers have expertise in the research and literature so that they can effectively integrate different techniques when customizing a patient’s plan of care. 3. Self-Actualization Integrative medicine providers do not simply focus on treating a disease but rather work with patients to help them achieve self-actualization (optimal vitality) and thrive.

Patient and practitioner are partners in the healing process. 2. All factors that influence health, wellness, and disease are taken into consideration, including mind, spirit, and community, as well as the body. 3. Appropriate use of both conventional and alternative methods facilitates the body's innate healing response. 4. Effective interventions that are natural and less invasive should be used whenever possible. 5. Integrative medicine neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative therapies uncritically. 6. Good medicine is based in good science. It is inquiry-driven and open to new paradigms. 7. Alongside the concept of treatment, the broader concepts of health promotion and the prevention of illness are paramount. 8. Practitioners of integrative medicine should exemplify its principles and commit themselves to self- exploration and self-development. Historical Milestones of Integrative Medicine and Health 1. Development of Wellness Programs The people became more proactive about preventing diseases and taking responsibility for their own health. Hence, the people became aware of the benefits of exercise and nutrition in preventing high cholesterol levels, heart attacks, and stroke and likewise to lose excess pounds and to quit smoking. 2. Development of Health Promotion Programs The importance of wellness and health promotion programs is that people began to be enthusiastic about the value and benefits of a healthy lifestyle. People began to investigate ways to make themselves feel better through rest, stress management, exercise, and better eating habits. All of this paved the way for a natural progression of examining other treatment modalities, many of which came from European and Eastern countries. Why Do People Seek Alternative Forms of Medical Care? 1. They may be dissatisfied with conventional treatment as expensive, impersonal, and ineffective. 2. Alternative forms of treatment may be compatible with users’ own values and spiritual beliefs regarding the nature of their illness. 3. People may desire a greater sense of control over their own treatment and seek out a doctor who will allow them choices about their own health care. 4. Many individuals who use CAM tend to be innovative and at the cutting edge of cultural change. 5. They are very interested in the environment and the world and possess a great sense of spirituality.

Specific Website Complementary and Alternative Medicine or CAM is a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, (NCCIM). ✓ is a broad domain of healing resources that encompasses all health systems, modalities, and practices and their accompanying theories and beliefs, other than those intrinsic to the politically dominant health system of a particular society or culture in a given historical period. ✓ includes all such practices and ideas self-defined by their users as preventing or treating illness or promoting health and well-being (O’Connor et al 1997) ✓ is an umbrella term used to describe a range of health systems, modalities and practices that may have little in common other than that they are practiced alongside or as an alternative to mainstream medicine- (Ministerial advisory committee on Complementary and alternative health July 2004). Philosophy of CAM 1. Focuses on empowering the individual to accept responsibility for at least a part of the task of recovery and future health maintenance. 2. Emphasizes sound nutrition as a core requirement for health. 3. Recommends a balanced lifestyle, adequate and appropriate exercise, rest, sleep, and relaxation as prerequisites for a state of good health 4. Attempts to ensure detoxification and the efficacy of the organs and systems of the body This document is the property of PHINMA EDUCATION  Course Code: PHA 045 (Complimentary Alternative Medicine) Teachers’ Guide Module #1 Name: _________________________________________________________________ Class number: _______ Section: ____________ Schedule: ________________________________________ Date: ________________ 5. Recognizes the importance of the musculoskeletal system as a potential source of interference with nerve transmission and the body’s energy pathways, and as a reflection of the individuals internal physical and emotional state 6. Most importantly, treats the individual instead of his or her symptoms Categories of CAM Therapies 1. Mind-Body Medicine Mind-body therapies affect the mind’s ability to influence physiological functions as well as to improve feelings of well-being. Mind-body medicine encompasses a number of therapies, including meditation, biofeedback, hypnosis, guided imagery, visualization, relaxation therapy, art and music therapy. Increasingly, these therapies are being offered within conventional cancer care settings because of recent evidence that these therapies can enhance the quality of life of cancer patients. 2. Biological-based Practices Biological-based practices include natural health products, such as vitamins, minerals and herbs. 3. Manipulative and Body-based Practices Manipulative and body-based practices include a large group of therapies such as chiropractic and massage therapy as well as many other manual therapies. In particular, massage has become a popular therapy that is increasingly recognized by both health professionals and patients as a beneficial addition to conventional cancer treatment to reduce anxiety, depression, pain, and fatigue. 4. Energy Medicine Energy therapies are a group of CAM therapies that focus on influencing human energy fields and include such therapies as reiki, therapeutic touch, healing touch, magnet therapy and qi gong. Underlying many of these energy therapies is the belief that treatment is needed to either “balance” energy in the body or to relieve blockages of energy. Some energy therapies, such as therapeutic touch and healing touch, have a long tradition of being part of conventional health professions’ scope of practice (i.e., nursing) and have been offered within cancer care settings in recent years. 5. Whole Medical Systems Are based on complete systems of theory and practice and involve a range of modalities. These whole medical systems include traditional healing, naturopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, and Ayurveda. Four Major Elements of CAM 1. The first element is the association of CAM with nature - a metaphor for many alternative medicines or therapies. For example, food that is labeled as organic rather than processed is desirable. CAM therapies are supposedly more natural than artificial and pure rather than synthetic. 2. The second element identified was vitalism - The body’s capacity to heal itself. The enhancement or balancing of life forces, qi (chi), or psychic energy is a main theme and belief in the concept of vitalism. These life forces are not a physical force but are related to energy within the body that is capable of healing. For patients, there is intuitive appeal in this non-invasive notion of healing from within.

The third element identified was science. Alternative medicine’s scientific process may match the steps of biomedical scientific techniques, but it depends greatly on observation. Alternative medicine is a more person-friendly science that embraces the concept of holism (connectedness of physical, mental, spiritual, emotional health). Sickness is viewed as a result of a weakened body that has fallen into an unbalanced condition. As such, it is remedied by overall strengthening of the body’s natural resistance to disease. The human experience becomes the central element of CAM science rather than being marginalized. 4. The fourth element was the aspect of spirituality. Spirituality does not refer particularly to religiosity, although for some, it may. Religion or spiritual experiences become important as people view health, illness, and healing. CAM offers a satisfying unification of the physical and spiritual because it bridges the gap between the domain of medical science and religion or spirituality, and the patient is allowed to make connections with nature and the universe This document is the property of PHINMA EDUCATION  Course Code: PHA 045 (Complimentary Alternative Medicine) Teachers’ Guide Module #1 Name: _________________________________________________________________ Class number: _______ Section: ____________ Schedule: ________________________________________ Date: ________________ Evidence on the use of CAM This document is the property of PHINMA EDUCATION  Course Code: PHA 045 (Complimentary Alternative Medicine) Teachers’ Guide Module #1 Name: _________________________________________________________________ Class number: _______ Section: ____________ Schedule: ________________________________________ Date: ________________ The Future of CAM Therapy I. Enlisting Support from Insurers and Providers 1. More and more insurers are covering alternative care, at least to some degree. 2. Support from professional organizations, such as the AMA, is increasing as more physician training programs require or offer electives in alternative treatment modalities. 3. CAM can offer new avenues to better health, but it is up to you to make sure that you are on the right path. II. CAM and Self-Care 1. Consult only reliable sources—texts, journals, and periodicals. 2. Remember that natural does not equal safe. 3. Realize that no one is closely monitoring herbal supplements. 4. Dosage levels may vary in herbal products. 5. Tell your doctor what you are taking, as interactions could occur. 6. Look for the word standardized or for the “USP Dietary Supplement Verified” seal.
