I began my journey into integrative medicine in 1985, when I developed fibromyalgia and realized I was clueless about effective and rapid treatment. Surprisingly, so were most of my colleagues, who, like me, practiced traditional or allopathic medicine. Following the quote, “physician, heal thyself,” I started my quest into alternative and integrative medicine. Subsequently, I realized my case was not unique. I discovered that many physicians at integrative medicine meetings and training sessions also suffered from similar health conditions; many restored themselves to full health and vitality using integrative medicine.
