The pillar of an effective integrated medicine

Abstract

During the last decade, the need of an effective integrated medicine has been discussed because the patient is not simply a human body but possesses a cognitive capacity and, if appropriately stimulated, an intrinsic capacity of restoring health. The problem is that among several complementary medical approaches only two or three are qualified owing to an extensive biological and clinical experimentation. Conventional medicine has made remarkable progresses and although occasionally we have bad surprises as rofecoxib, it has a good quality of scientific effectiveness; but, as it will be discussed, at least for one complementary treatment, the claim that they represent “a new name for snake oil” is no longer acceptable. We would like to briefly present the outstanding biological and clinical progress of oxygen-ozonetherapy already used in many countries. Thanks mainly to our studies...
