Info

Conventional medicine has long shown its worth, in particular for treatment of acute conditions. However, limitations still exist with respect to abundant chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. Consequently, many patients have turned to so-called “alternative” treatments.

Recent years have shown a rising awareness for new paradigms in medicine based on more holistic views. This has been further augmented by attempts to include quantum concepts in biology and medicine.

Functional Medicine – one of many disciplines in Complementary Medicine – takes a holistic approach based on mapping of a patients’ lifestyles and environmental impacts. The aim is to identify the root causes of disease such as poor nutrition, stress, toxic exposure, allergens, genetics and the microbioma.

This seminar aims at giving an overview of the academic discipline of Complementary and Integrative medicine and to provide insight into the use of Functional Medicine in clinical practice.
