      "Integrative medicine is known for treating the patient’s mind and body, considering how these are closely connected." "Closely related"? Um, no. The mind IS the body. It's a product of the brain. What is this dualistic nonsense? https://twitter.com/ClevelandClinic/status/1121604309194551296 …

      Also, "integrative medicine" is a term that describes the "integration" of pseudoscience and quackery with real science-based medicine.

          except it doesn't integrate - those who practice don't integrate medicine or science - they sell snake oil, charms, and nonsense because science is too hard for them

          Actually, it does integrate, and that's great more damaging to medicine. For instance, when we waste effort and research dollars on the mysticism they is acupuncture, not only is that money that can't be used for useful research, but it erodes the scientific basis of medicine.

          'Functional Medicine' is what a physician friend calls her practice. Seems she primarily sells supplements though...?

          I think it was @BrianDunning who said that "integrating" an apple pie with a cow pie doesn't make the apple pie better

          It is unfortunate when medical professionals disparage all forms of alternative medicine, especially in situations where they have nothing better to offer. I had acupuncture instead of rotator cuff surgery and have never regretted it.
