Understand desire to be open minded. And NB to learn about CAM in order to work with patients, but disappointing to see another "integrative health" initiative, this one at @McGillMed. http://www.mcgillmed.com/club/mcgill-integrative-medicine-club/ … cc @DrPChouinard @gorskon @mcgillu Often just legitimizes bunk.

One of the most interesting distinctive features of integrative health is all the treatments that could not possibly work in principle and, when studied, turn out not to work

Truly distinctive, indeed ;)

There is no such thing as "Western based" medicine. There is medicine, which is science based, and there is not-medicine, which is everything else. So-called "integrative medicine" is just an effort to integrate quackery with real medicine. We should all have a pro-science bias.

Snake oil sales people selling hope to the ill. Eat avocados and ur rheumatoid will go away. Buy my supplements and ur psoriatic arthritis will go away. Criminals. They should all be investigated. There is no data on any of this. “Not my Dr”.

To quote Mark Crislip: "If you integrate fantasy with reality, you do not instantiate reality. If you mix cow pie with apple pie, it does not make the cow pie taste better; it makes the apple pie worse."

Integrative medicine involves integrating things that don't work with things that do. It is a step backwards not forwards

Whether a MD or a ND, the future of medicine will be shaped by those exploring the "why" , not the "what". Any initiative aimed toward that end should be celebrated, not questioned. Well done
@McGillMed -
This is the "present" of medicine. Many practitioners have been focusing on cause (the "why") for quite some time.

You really shouldn’t use “Dr” for such frauds as naturopath or homeopathy
