your LETTERS Helping Middle Eastern Christians What is Integrative Medicine? At Comprehensive Integrative Health Care our approach to treating a person with mental and emotional challenges such as depression and anxiety, is to provide alternative methods to assist with recovery, healing, and long-term maintenance of positive mental health. When first evaluating a patient that exhibits emotional challenges that impact their daily life, we determine whether conventional or alternative treatment would appropriately address the symptoms of the individual. For example, when treating a patient with anxiety, we first determine whether the emotion is caused by everyday life issues such as health, school or finances. We obtain blood work to rule out if the anxiety is caused by any underlying medical condition, such as an overactive thyroid. Once we have assessed the patient by interview, physical examination and any essential studies that we feel is appropriate, we then work together with the patient to determine the plan of action best suited for their needs and type of challenge so that they can start on the path to balanced mental health. Our first line of therapy, may not be prescribing medication, often we find that guiding patients to adapting changes in their lifestyle can remedy much of their brain chemistry. Research has demonstrated that changes such as eating a clean and well-balanced diet, incorporating exercise, a healthy sleep regimen, and the use of supplements can often modify and even alleviate symptoms. We work closely with the patient to track their symptoms and determine if another plan of action is needed which may include medication in addition to alternative methods. If you or a family member is suffering from mental illness, please do not hesitate to make an appointment at our office. Dear Friends, As we are celebrating the Triduum of Easter with the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we were saddened by the continuation of terrorist attacks against Christians in the world, especially on Easter day in Sri Lanka. The past year has shown continued positive changes towards the Christians and Christianity in the Middle East, such as in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt. There is a better understanding of the Interfaith with meetings between the Pope and Middle Eastern countries. The United States government is showing an increased positive response to the plight of the Middle Eastern Christians. We are hoping that the European governments will advance the cause of the Middle East Christians and assist them in protecting their civic and civil rights to stop the persecution and prosecution. Other Middle Eastern faiths have established governments to protect them and support them morally and financially. The Middle Eastern Christians lack these two resources so it is left to other countries to do the correct and moral things by sponsoring, supporting, and protecting the Middle East Christians politically, financially, and diplomatically. We are monitoring their policies in words and in action. We wish you a Happy Easter, and may its message of hope to humanity resonate. Sincerely yours, Dr. Ramsay F.
