Introduction and Orientation to Integrated Medicine: Second Edition

The aim of this book is to introduce and orient the readers to integrated medicine - the necessity of which has been felt by doctors and patients over past numerous years. This book contains accumulated wisdom borne out of careful application of principles of each of the 3 pathies ( Allopathy, Ayurveda and Homeopathy ) to treatment of real life patients. It contains knowledge distilled after studying allopathy for about 32 years, homeopathy for about 25 years and ayurveda for about 9 years. I have tried to keep the language as simple as possible so that even non medicos can benefit from this book. This book will dispel important myths widely prevalent in general public about all 3 pathies.At the end of this book, in the bonus section, readers will find 6 articles I have written on various aspect of pathology testing, doctor patient relationship and interaction of patients with healthcare in general. Hope readers benefit a lot from these as well. If, after reading this book, practising doctors get a new insight into potential of integrated medicine in improving patient care, patients understand the options available in front of them and government authorities take urgent steps to start well funded research into this field I believe the book would have served its purpose.

Happy reading !!
