The Need for Integrating Medicine

Life is a miracle. Every single cell is a miracle. Every single organelle of the cell is a miracle, and so is the DNA, and the cell membrane. Understanding one miracle is hard enough, let alone understanding how all of the constituents work, and how it works together—in response to the needs of the body—as well as in response to the change in environment. Society's constant change causes for a change in the way we approach medicine, the way we care for our health and wellness.

There is quite a bit that we don't know about life. In spite of the less things we know, we still make judgments, diagnosis and interventions. Is there or are there better ways to look at common medical issues? Shouldn't we consider the alternatives that have been in existence for many hundreds to thousands of years?

This is the reason that I think that we need to look at issues from different angles. A look at problems from the macroscopic, as well as the macroscopic world. Not just looking at the cells, but observing the organelles and the biochemicals, as well as considering functions, systems and the interrelated systems that make up the organism as a whole.

With ever more angles of vision, understanding the vital body, we discover dimensions that we previously missed. Moreover. what may appear to a modern scientist as an “ultra modern idea,” may have been around for thousands of years in ancient societies as general knowledge and wisdom. The traditional knowledge of herbal medicine is just one example. Some organs, such as the appendix, modern science once thought were without function, but now have attributed new functions. As research expands our frontiers, we will find newer and newer applications for already known information. Moreover, we will make advances in understanding how the constituents of the body work with one other. We will have a more holistic view of science.

Keeping all of this in mind, let us acknowledge that medicine from of our ancient societies were advanced in many areas. This recognizance enables us to look into complementary medical sciences and systems, such as Ayurveda, Siddha Vaidya, Unani, Chinese Medicine, and Homeopathy for answers to current questions haunting humanity today.

We are powerful, each of us. A determined individual can achieve quite a bit, expanding thought beyond the lines of accepted norms in health and wellness, finding out facts that never were in society's awareness, like boldly voyaging unchartered galaxies. Let us be determined, ready to brave the unknown.

Introducing the Cocoon program

Healing is very personal. This is what inspired me during medical school: the way in which people choose life, almost as innately as a cell decides to multiply. This is the beginning of my blog, my platform to bring forth practical ways to improve health. I'm a medical doctor, and for this simple fact my credentials give me a license to offer wellness tips for my readers. Sometimes I will extend health remedies, and simple tasks that can cause relaxation for our friends who have stress in their lives. This particular blog is introduction to my world, the International Center for Integrated Medicine.

The Cocoon program at the International Center for Integrated Medicine has a purpose: combining modern medicine, yoga, meditation, ayurveda, and internal herbs, each client is treated individually for stress and burnout. External Siddha Vaidya therapies, tailored diet and hormonal balancing in a specially designed program—a time-tested unique regimen—essentially rebuilds the total person, freeing clients from stress related changes, and restoring productivity, creativity and harmony in life.

Low level stress, when experienced over a long duration of time, or in special cases, a stressful situation of extreme intensity when endured for a short time may lead to burnout syndromes, where individual productivity and personality is seriously compromised. Disharmony arises within the individual and within his/her immediate surroundings, especially at the work place, causing productive and creative failure. Physical, emotional and mental disabilities occur due to neural, hormonal and metabolic changes brought on by the affects of stress. The gradual, but reversible changes may lead to a semi-permanent stage of virtual paralysis in productivity. Appropriate intervention at the earlier stages can help prevent the onset of burnout and save the individual's health.

The Cocoon program helps clients to face a new beginning, where stress is handled with a renewed outlook. This approach is effective, non-toxic, and productive, taking a very short time to accomplish this otherwise difficult task. This program effectively rebuilds the strength of the neural tissues and endocrine glands, and restores the balance between these systems. The result is physical regeneration at the cellular level, restored productivity, creativity and harmony at office/home.

International Center for Integrated Medicine is currently highlighting this program for six months. The Cocoon program is supervised by a medical doctor, assisted by doctors from other disciplines and nursing staff. The maximum number of participants admitted to our facilities are restricted to six clients per month to ensure individual care. For more information, please contact dr_rajkumar@fastmail.fm
