    Indeed. What “integrative medicine” integrates into medicine are quackery and pseudoscience. Science-based lifestyle and dietary interventions are already integrated into medicine and suffer from being rebranded this way through association with quackery.https://twitter.com/SBMPediatrics/status/1214202447817838593 …

    Why the concept of “integrative medicine”, be it oncology, primary care, etc. is problematic is very simple. It implies that conventional care, though imperfect, fails to promote biopsychosocial care and it serves as marketing for all manner of bogus tests and treatments.

        "Integrative medicine" is given room to breathe by health professionals who do two things: 1) fail to incorporate advances in evidence-based medicine into their practice 2) fail by incorporating pseudoscience into their practice

        Have you tried gently breaking this to those who have failed to link the National Microbiome Initiative to the Precision Medicine Initiative via the Creation of energy, ATP, RNA interference, and more than 96,000 publications on 'microRNAs'?https://youtu.be/cdtsfweO5SQ

        So when I take echinacea and zinc at the first sign of a cold to stop it that is quackery? But when others suffer colds with pharmaceutical cough and cold drugs it's science?

        Because 50 yrs of “science” based dietary advice paid for buy big business & pushed by governments all over the world have worked so well, like cut out real food & eat this manufactured Frankenstein food instead, ignore your instincts, fruit is full of sugar so cut down on that.

        Why is it that out of all in my family diagnosed with cancer, I'm the only one still alive, and I avoided YOUR science-based medicine like, well, it might KILL me? Diet/nutrition modification, supplementation, detoxification = REALITY, you paid monkey.

        Vitaminc is a perfect example that your 'medicine' has failed to incorporate for almost a century! Integrative medicine is way superior to your conventional medicine. Look at all those oncologist who now add vitaminC to their treatments. You lack a lot of science right there!

        When researching MD schools in 2008, nutrition was not part of the core curriculum. I have the pleasure of working in an integrated health clinic where we understand the benefits, risks, and limitations of our treatments and work together in the best interests of our patients.
