Integrative medicine encompasses a viewpoint which recognizes the complex, intelligent and holistic nature of the physical-energetic-informational system of each individual and the uniqueness of that system. In this approach the practitioner and the sick individual form a team working towards an integrated protocol of management best suited for that person. Supporting health is a priority using least invasive and most natural approaches. Treating disease symptomatically may be indicated but always with the full knowledge of the sick individual.”
SASIM April 2006

Integrated or Integrative Medicine is practising medicine in a way that selectively incorporates elements of Complementary and Alternative medicine into comprehensive treatment plans alongside solidly orthodox methods of diagnosis and treatment. [British Medical Journal 2001;322:119-120]

Integrative Medicine:
Is based on a partnership of patient and practitioner, within which conventional and health promoting [alternative] modalities may be used to stimulate the body’s healing response;
Shifts the orientation of medicine from one of treating disease to improving health;
Engages the body, mind, spirit, and community in the process of healing;
Neither rejects conventional medicine nor uncritically accepts alternative practices;
Is committed to good science that is driven by inquiry and open to new paradigms;
Is grounded in the philosophy that prevention is a primary responsibility of medicine and that healing is possible even when curing is not;
Works to activate innate, natural healing mechanisms
Uses natural, less invasive interventions before costly, invasive ones whenever possible; and
Asks that practitioners seek to be holistic, patient-centred and committed to the process of self-exploration.

The [new] terminology of integrative medicine includes the following:
Art of medicine
Systems
Webs
Non-linear dynamics
Informational systems
Patterns
Probability dynamics
Relationships
Complexity
Meaning and medicine
Order and chaos
Intuition and experience

As the philosophy develops and become more sophisticated a newer medicine will emerge which will naturally integrate many aspects of traditional medicine, newer developments in physics and quantum theory and recent advances in nutritional medicine.
