12:16:22     From Steve Gurney - ProAging Community : Integrative medicine - Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is the popular name for health care practices that traditionally haven't been part of conventional medicine. In many cases, as evidence of safety and effectiveness grows, these therapies are being combined with conventional medicine.

Thus, the term "alternative" has been dropped from the name. These therapies are now called complementary and integrative medicine, integrative medicine and health, or simply integrative medicine.

Integrative medicine combines the most well-researched conventional medicine with the most well-researched, evidence-based complementary therapies to achieve the appropriate care for each person.

12:26:42     From Rick Aizpuru  to  Hosts and panelists : I just ordered your book on Amazon

12:29:43     From Mike Hudson : Is there an organization of palliative/integrative physicians that has chapters in other states? I am interested in learning about whether there are these kinds of physicians in the NYC/Southern Westchester County area.

12:31:33     From Steve Gurney - ProAging Community : I really don't like <insert> but at least <insert>

12:31:34     From Karen Midyet  to  Hosts and panelists : As a Psychologist specializing in Aging, I do hear clients feel responsible to be  positive.  This is why having a mental health clinician available to help process all the feelings (and sometimes confront/help them and the family to feel supported)

12:33:23     From c conley  to  Hosts and panelists : We need to get Medicare to acknowledge and include integrative physicians.  Any ideas how to do that?

12:37:30     From mary busse : I love this idea.  It seems like a very reasonable approach to life in general.  It is my impression that too many people label some emotions as "negative", to be avoided.  It is in accepting and experiencing them that manages them.

12:40:45     From Steve Gurney - ProAging Community : https://integrativepalliative.com/

12:42:17     From Owen Houghton : does Medtcare or any Insurance recognize the cost savings value of integrative care?

12:42:28     From c conley  to  Hosts and panelists : Does the integrative medical professional have to be the one to bill Medicare, or can the patient?  Cuz a lot of doctors don’t want to bill Medicare now because the process is so time consuming.
