I love Modern Medicine, but I am never satisfied with the status quo. Too much emphasis is placed on cure, not nearly enough on prevention. I started The Foundation for Preventive and Integrative Medicine (FPIM) much as I did VitalRemedyMD, in order to bolster our quality of health. Through the Foundation, my dream is to help separate the chaff from the wheat, to clarify the difference between sound utilization of nutritional supplements and the apocryphal. My hope is not only to be THE resource for physician and patient education in the realm of Preventive and Integrative medicine, but to be a leader in organizing and promoting substantial and meaningful research in this essential area of medicine. One such trial is now underway. More will soon follow. We welcome you to our site. Please explore it and become an active part of the future of American Medicine.
