Welcome to Brooklyn Integrative Medicine Brooklyn, NY
Researchers from the Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences (SIBC) in China have identified a powerful compound in birch bark called betulin that helps lower cholesterol and prevent both diabetes and obesity. And betulin works particularly better than the statin drug lovastatin at lowering cholesterol, except without the harmful side effects.
Dr. Bao-Liang Song and his colleagues from SIBC tested the effects of betulin and found that it specifically targets the genes responsible for making harmful blood fats like triglycerides by effectively lowering their activity and protecting against disease. And since the compound is "abundant in birch bark," it has the potential to revolutionize the way blood fat levels are managed.
Concerning cholesterol levels, betulin was shown to lower lipid levels more effectively than lovastatin. And insulin-wise, betulin helps keep artery walls free and clear of build-ups and blockages, also known as atherosclerosis. Read more...

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
For thousands of years, TCM has been practiced in China. TCM includes dietary recommendations and manipulation, Qigong, a form of meditation and exercise, Tuina, a form of massage, herbal medicine and acupuncture.
Traditional Chinese Medicine uses terms that may sound strange to our modern ears, but it is a highly logical and effective system of medicine. Our Western system and the TCM system both have the same goal - to maintain health and treat patients who experience illness or injury. These two methods have different views of the body. The TCM view is a more holistic view and the Western is more mechanistic and linear. These two systems can often be combined for the benefit of the patient, thus the term 'Integrative Medicine' as opposed to 'complementary' or 'alternative'.
A melding of Western medicine with complementary, alternative and holistic modalities, integrative medicine offers many healing options. It is a gentle, comprehensive approach to achieving wellness and maintaining health, while honoring an animal's innate healing power.
One of our great joys as veterinarians is developing personal relationships with patients and their caregivers. We provide a welcoming atmosphere (lower lighting, calming music, blankets for comfort, ample time for an unhurried visit), and yummy treats (if appropriate and allowed) in an effort to create a relaxed and enjoyable experience. You will be present during the exam and treatment and engaged in discussion about nutrition, exercise, and Tuina, a gentle, easy-to-learn method of body work. Time and intention (or attention) are key components to forming a partnership in caring for your pet and promoting his or her health and healing.

Integrative Medicine The Best of Both Worlds IM Health strives to bring patients the best of both worlds, utilizing both Western medicine, andComplementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) modalitieswith evidence-based effectiveness to optimize patient outcomes.
Harvard trained physician, Dr. Andrew Weil MD, presents the benefits of integrating conventional Western medicine and CAMmodalities.
Integrative medicine seeks to refocus treatment of disease on health and healing, and away from disease symptom management. IM Health programs successfully achieve the goals of this intelligent combination of conventional and alternative medicine.
This approachemphasizes whole person medicine where we are about more than just the physical body instead we are minds, spirits, and community members. Emphasis is placed on all aspects of lifestyle, as well as the importance of the practitioner-patient relationship to the healing practice. A conscious effort is made to incorporate all effective methods of treatment from all traditions that is the alternative piece.
The 6 principles of every integrative medicine strategy are:
1. A use of natural and less-invasive treatment whenever possible first do no harm
2. An effective working partnership between patient and practioner
3. A blend of conventional and holistic treatments
4. A thorough consideration of all factors that influence health, wellness and disease (mind, spirit, body and community) throughout treatment
5. A recognition that good medicine should be open to new (or ancient) paradigms of healing
6. A proactive promotion of health and wellness, in conjunction with treatment of disease

Integrative Medicine - IM Health
Leading the transformation of health care by creating, educating, and actively supporting a community that embodies the philosophy and practice of healing-oriented medicine, addressing mind, body and spirit.
Dr. Andrew Weil, Director of the Center for Integrative Medicine presents to a group outside the Center.
The Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine was founded in 1994 at the University of Arizona by Dr. Andrew Weil. Since then, the Center has grown from a visionary concept to the recognized world leader in Integrative Medical education. The first Residential Fellowship class began their studies in 1997, with four fellows. Today, our Fellowship has grown to accommodate 120 fellows per year.
We built the Center on the premise that the best way to change a field is to educate the most gifted professionals and place them in settings where they can, in turn, teach others. Our approach has clearly made an impact on the field of integrative medicine, and more importantly, on medicine as a whole. In addition to educational leadership, we are committed to providing the finest clinical care in integrative medicine and engaging in cutting edge research.
The Center defines integrative medicine as healing-oriented medicine that takesaccount of the whole person (mind, body, and spirit), including all aspects of lifestyle.It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and patient and makes use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative.
The Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine is committed to developing and delivering world-class continuing education in IM for students, professionals and public. Our programs include:

"We do not know what this increased risk is due to, but it could either be
that depression influences crucial aspects of self-care behaviors needed to
manage diabetes or that a more severe disease process is reflected in more
depressive symptoms," said lead researcher Anastasia Georgiades, a
research associate in the department of psychiatry and behavioral science at Duke
University in Durham, N.C.
Georgiades was expected to present the findings Friday at the American
Psychosomatic Society annual meeting in Budapest, Hungary.
In their study, the Duke team followed 933 heart patients for more than four
years. During that time, there were 135 deaths among patients with type 2
diabetes and/or depression, the researchers found.
Among patients with moderate-to-severe symptoms of depression who were also
diabetics, the researchers observed a significant 30 percent greater risk of
dying over the four-year period compared with patients with either depression
alone or diabetes alone. Read more…
