Individual practitioners and group practices have had less than effective means to share the results of their personal diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, until now.  IntegraMed Academy will actively involve its members in both the initiation of research projects to evaluate integrative treatments and the data collection for the ongoing evaluation of patient treatments. Coming together to gather data on these intergrative treatments, in a concise and meaningful way, will aid in advancing the many successful diagnostic and treatment procedures that currently are only being used by a relatively small number of practitioners. This will allow more patients worldwide to benefit sooner from the advancements of these integrative medicine pioneers. It will also help to provide the scientific validity of the integrative medicine approach to health and wellness.

Until now, advancements in integrative medicine have been hindered by the simple fact that individual integrative practitioners have only limited time and ability to share the remarkable findings of their private research and the empirical data they gather from their own relatively small patient pools.  IntegraMed Academy now joins together health practitioners from multiple countries, with widely varying patient populations, into large research studies. Because of the large number of patients participating, these research studies are designed to quickly find more effective answers to the world’s most common health dilemmas.  

IntegraMed Academy sponsors this exceptional research with no hidden agendas or desire for financial gain, but only with the desire to find truth that will help reduce suffering and premature death throughout the world.

IntegraMed Academy is committed to helping patients worldwide attain the highest level of health possible. A cornerstone of fulfilling this commitment will be achieved through practical research involving many aspects of integrative medicine, including projects that would evaluate the effectiveness of different diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Most pharmaceutical research is designed to answer the question whether a single chemical substance can alter the symptoms of a disease. Integrative medicine research, however, should strive to determine what combination of therapies (diet, physical activity, nutritional supplementation, quantum-physical therapies, emotional therapies, spiritual intervention, etc.) are necessary to prevent and/or reverse illness. This is the ultimate goal of the research that IntegraMed Academy seeks to implement.
