INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
The world of medicine is slowly changing for the benefit of patients, it's no longer a black-or-white choice between CAM and mainstream medicine.  The new trend is towards Integrative Medicine or utilizing the best of Eastern and Western medicine to meet the needs of each patient.  I spoke with Eleanor D. Hynote M.D., a board certified internist, the Founder and Director of Phoenix Well Care in Napa, California and the President and CEO of the American College for Advancement in Medicine.  There was a recent study of medical students at 126 medical schools across the country and 74% thought that a blend of Western medicine and CAM was better than either one alone so there is a fresh perspective entering the field.
