Health Asia Medical Clinic
After working as a medical consultant for several health clinics and companies, I decided to set up our own. But this time, we did not want our clinic to be a typical mainstream or western medicine type of clinic. We want to offer something different to our patients - we want to spend more time with each patient to hear not only their medical problems, but other concerns as well that are affecting their health. It is important for us to listen to the patient, and to go beyond the regular 15-minute rush consultation. At the clinic, each patient is important. Each patient belongs to our family.
Our practice in Integrative Medicine started in 1994, when we were formally introduced to the field of alternative medicine through the Philippine College for the Advancement in Medicine (PCAM). We went through several trainings and researches in this field and completed further studies in the field of Naturopathic Medicine. This is our 27th year now as physicians, and 23 years in integrative medicine practice. Our work focuses on the lifestyles of people. It is now an accepted fact that majority of chronic medical conditions are rooted in the defective lifestyles of people. Corrections of the said lifestyles take center stage and will practically solve 50% of most of these chronic and degenerative medical problems. In the maintenance of health and treatment of diseases, we use mostly natural products, using only Pharmaceutical grade, naturally sourced remedies and herbs, supported by clinical trials. Our nutritional therapy includes the use of fresh organic vegetables, juices, and herbal teas. Treatment modalities nowadays are so focused on drugs, surgery and other technologically advanced procedures, that they have forgotten that the human body has a major role in fighting and treating these disease conditions if it is given the proper nutrition, the proper environment and the proper state of mind. Healing – complete healing – does not only involve the diseased part. It involves the whole of the person – body, mind and soul. By using these approaches in treating patients for the past thirteen years of practice in the field of integrative medicine, we have developed protocols which we now use in our clinic and share in our lectures. At present we conduct seminars, lectures, trainings and workshops for various private and government institutions aside from our private practice at the clinic. Our lectures are related to maintenance of health, prevention of diseases, lifestyle diseases (such as Hypertension and heart diseases, stroke, Diabetes and various metabolic conditions, Syndrome-X, and cancer), and Nutritional and Natural Therapies and its important role in the treatment of diseases. I have guested in several radio and television programs as a resource person in the field of Integrative Medicine. Our passion and dedication for the practice has kept us constantly doing researches in search for better, safer and practical modes of treatment for our patients, family and friends. |
