Integrative Medicine Conference

Covers Pain

The fall conference of International College of Integrative Medicine (ICIM) was titled “End Pain.” A comprehensive approach was outlined by Jacob Teitelbaum. Special features of pain were discussed by Robban Sica on migraines, Vladimir Tomljanovic on neck disorders, Derrick Lonsdale on thiamin, Bill Faber on the lightning reactions, Robert Rowen on ozone for healing, Ed Kondrot on microcurrent, Sahar Swidan on compounding, and David Kohns on the role of the brain for pain.

Especially high ratings were scored for Helene Leonetti on the path to vibrant health, David Nebbeling on a holistic approach to musculoskeletal pain, Guy Chamberland on a master herbalist’s approach, and David Pawset on mindfulness. A rousing debate was held between Bruce Holub and Brain Peskin on fish oils vs. PEOs for inflammation. John Huniston described many years of amazing results using IV amino acids to treat addictions. Al Augustine continued to remind us of the legal aspects of integrative medicine.

David Brownstein gave a detailed workshop on iodine, and Terry Chappell chaired one-day workshops on basic and advanced chelation therapy. A lifetime achievement award honored John Trowbridge. Executive director Wendy Chappell made sure that we had fantastic food, great music, and a fascinating tour of the African American museum in Detroit.

The Midlife Women's Health Summit is three days on what the research actually says about menopause care when you add a longevity lens. What works, what doesn't, what's being oversold, and what to tell the patient sitting in front of you. Co-chaired by Lisa Larkin, MD, FACP, MSCP, IF, Jen Gunter, MD, FRCS(C), FACOG, DABPM, ABPMR, and Lauren Streicher, MD, FACOG, MSCP; three of the clearest voices in women's health on separating data from marketing.

Before Gerson: The Forgotten Medical History of Coffee Enemas

By Scott Wilson – In 1875, Dr. J.P. Thomas wrote about using coffee enemas for opium and belladonna poisoning.
