A functional integrative medical understanding of health
What is illness?
The word "illness" derives from Old Norse "sjukr" (worried/sorrowing) and "dómr"
(essence/way of being). Thus, we can interpret it as "a worried way of being," a common symptom of illness..
How do we understand health challenges at the Clinic for Integrative Medicine?
Everyone has periods of
ailments or health challenges. Persistent symptoms often result in a conventional medical diagnosis. A diagnosis classifies
people based on observable symptoms. We see the diagnosis as a description of one or more persistent imbalances
in the body, which appear as symptoms (dizziness, nausea, pain, poor sleep, etc.). When enough symptoms are found that
fit together, the imbalances can be classified with a diagnosis.
Our body
has unique and amazing qualities
The body and mind have an incredible ability to maintain and
restore internal balance. Homeostasis, a fundamental biological concept, refers to the ability of living organisms to
maintain a stable internal environment, regardless of external influences. Another quality is the ability to repair and
build new cells (thousands per second). Fundamentally, we are in balance unless body and mind are exposed to such
great strain that the natural balance is disrupted temporarily or over the long term.
Restore balance and the body's homeostasis and become well
By uncovering the causes of
imbalance in the body, mind, and emotions, it is often (not always) possible to implement countermeasures and restore a naturally good
balance and internal homeostasis through systematic effort and the right treatment. When this happens, the body repairs
damage and builds new cells. The symptoms disappear, you feel well, and the diagnosis is no longer relevant.
It is not always easy to find the causes of the symptoms or the right method for restoring balance. Good cooperation between client and practitioner is a prerequisite, and the client must be willing and able to make lifestyle changes. What you do at home over time is what matters most. All of the body's cells can be renewed or repaired under good conditions, but some types of cells take longer than others. The liver can renew itself in 6 weeks, the mucous membranes in the intestines in a few days, while nerve and brain cells take years to heal.
At the Clinic for Integrative Medicine, we do not treat any diagnoses
We also do not offer physician services, medical treatment, or treatment of serious diseases. Nevertheless, a high proportion of our clients experience improvement, and many overcome their health challenges over time. Systematic and holistic efforts (integrated medical thinking) over time produce results for most people. One of our fundamental principles is that all imbalances in the body affect the body’s electromagnetic system and the cells’ "charge." Therefore, we use electromagnetic treatment methods such as light therapy, microcurrents, infrared heat, pulsed magnetic field therapy, vibration therapy, hydrogen therapy, and oxygen therapy. When we combine good treatment with the right diet, good water, exercise, sensible use of supplements, and natural plant substances, most people experience improvement over time.
Nature is amazing, and you have the ability to regain natural balance, even if it does not always seem that way
