INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE; IT’S IMPORTANT FOR YOUR HEALTHCARE
“People still ask me what the term integrative medicine means,” says Dr. Jacob Mirman. “At Life Medical we emphasize the integrative approach, i.e. all practitioners must learn what the others do and utilize the combined expertise. By doing this, we are extending the Mayo brothers’ integrative paradigm to include not just the currently “conventional” modalities, but also the ones that are still considered “alternative.”
The history/origin of integrative medicine in the United States:
Back in the early 1900’s Mayo Clinic initiated the ingenious concept of integrative medicine. The Mayo brothers brought together many different specialists and taught them to work together. Their concept allowed doctors who had previously been afraid to lose income by referring patients to other doctors, to work together in a collaborative manner. The physicians learned from each other, referred to each other and were able to treat their patients much more efficiently and effectively. This was a huge step forward for medicine and is one of the keys to the Mayo Clinic’s continued success.
Our mission:
At Life Medical we have made it our mission to learn and explore a wide variety of modalities, which requires a great deal of effort and humility on the part of all of our doctors. Continuous learning and cooperation between different practitioners is the essence of real integrative medicine. We believe that we are the only medical clinic in the area that offers such a wide range of medical modalities within a group of practitioners that work cooperatively together.
MEDICAL CANNABIS IS THE BEST KIND OF GATEWAY DRUG
“Medical Cannabis is a gateway drug”, says Dr. Jacob Mirman. “And when I say that, I mean “the gateway to good medicine”. When patients use medical cannabis, it can be very effective; and we are delighted with the results that we have seen. However, if patients want to get even better, possibly more permanently, they can contact us for integrative medical strategies.”
“I am very excited about some recent regulation changes that will be extremely beneficial in treating patients using medical cannabis,” says Dr. Jacob Mirman. “CLICK HERE to read the very exciting regulation changes that will be extremely beneficial in treating patients using medical cannabis.”
