Integrator Blog - What Does it Take to Be "Competent" in Integrative Medicine - and Who Decides?
Medical doctors and their academic associates in an organization representing 39 medical schools have endorsed a paper that - to their minds - establishes "competencies" for the practice of integrative medicine.

Supplement Your Prescription: What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutrition
Prescription drugs can rob you of the very vitamins and minerals your body needs to overcome your current health condition. Whether you suffer from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic heartburn (GERD), arthritis, diabetes, or depression, the prescription drugs you are taking can actually make your conditon worse!
Why didn't your doctor warn you about this possible side effect? Most office visits are short, and time is limited. And the truth is, many doctors have very little knowledge about nutrition and how it affects your overall health and well-being. As a result, your doctor is unlikely to tell you how to supplement your prescription. Dr. Hyla Cass offers essential information to complement your doctor's advice in this invaluable book.
