The Principles of Integrative Medicine
- A partnership between patient and practitioner in the healing process.
- Appropriate use of conventional and alternative methods to facilitate the body's innate healing response.
- Consideration of all factors that influence health, wellness and disease, including mind, spirit and community as well as body.
- A philosophy that neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative therapies uncritically.
- Recognition that good medicine should be based in good science, be inquiry driven, and be open to new paradigms.
- Use of natural, effective, less-invasive interventions whenever possible.
- Use of the broader concepts of promotion of health and the prevention of illness as well as the treatment of disease.
- Training of practitioners to be models of health and healing, committed to the process of self-exploration and self-development
- Nutritional Counseling
“Let thy food be thy medicine,” according to one of the first physicians, Hippocrates. Questions about organic foods? Gluten-free diets? When and what to feed your baby? Wondering about fish oil and vitamin D? We can work with you during routine well visits or as needed during specially scheduled consultations to review concerns and questions for your child.
An approach to chronic conditions, testing and nutraceutical supplements
Dr Alina uses a functional medicine for some chronic conditions because it truly addresses the ‘why’ of a disease or constellation of symptoms, and it offers an organized way to decipher the clues that are bodies are giving us in order to restore us back to wholeness and wellness. It takes into account the unique way in which our individual biochemical and genetic background interacts with absolutely everything we are exposed to on a daily basis—the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the environmental toxins we absorb, the thoughts and emotion we experience and the people around you.
Research indicates that the quality of our environments – the places where we live, work, eat, play - does affect our behavior, thoughts, and emotions. An environment itself does not heal but it can definitely support healing. Our environments should be living, breathing place, containers for life and healing. At Whole Child Texas we believe in life-enhancing environments and our clinic was created with a vision of a pediatric office that is a healing environment for everyone who enters the clinic. In our office, we used materials that are as safe as they can be for the kids and for the environment. We paid great attention to design elements that support healing by awakening the Inner Pharmacy of our bodies through engaging the senses (sight, smell, touch). When you visit our clinic, we hope that you feel welcomed by the warm colors, beautiful, bright crystals, air purifying plants, a soothing water fountain, healing art work, and calming and refreshing essential oils aromas.
