All types of cancer cells continue to grow, divide and re-divide instead of dying and form new abnormal cells. Some types of cancer cells often travel to other parts of the body through blood circulation or lymph vessels (metastasis), where they begin to grow cancer long-term survivors, have poor health outcomes than individuals without cancer, obesity, poor dietary choices, inactivity and continued smoking have shown negative outcomes in cancer survivors.

Abstract:

An integrated care model combines evidence based conventional medical approach with holistic modalities to address not just the physical symptoms but also the psychological, social, spiritual and environmental influences on health and wellbeing. Three years ago, we created the Intgerative Health and Wellbeing program to bring evidence based holistic modalities into academic healthcare setting. When we began this venture, we took a great deal of time to learn how others had developed and sustained similar programs. We visited established Integrative Health programs around the country and met with leaders in the field and who are actively expanding the footprint of the integrative approach in the U.S. and globally. We thought it equally important to understand our own institution and the patients we would soon serve. Through our process of discovery, we applied what we had learned into a new model and launched The Integrative Health and Wellbeing Program at New York Presbyterian Hospital in 2015. This program offers services such as physician consultation, nutrition, psychotherapy, Ayurveda, functional medicine, acupuncture, meditation, yoga, Reiki and Pilates. These services are offered alongside conventional medical plan in a team based approach. There are several elements that have been integral to our early success: stakeholder engagement, strategic planning, organizational structure and operations, marketing and communications, building performance metrics, and building our team. We would like to share some of these lessons we have learned along the way. We hope this knowledge can help other clinicians and healthcare institutions create successful and sustainable programs by embracing a more holistic care approach to care.

Abstract:

The safe structure is the champion among the most complex systems of the body. Immunity is the limit of the human body to react to remote antigen and slaughter it. Innate safe response does not have immunologic memory, whereas adaptive immunity, on the other hand, is antigen ward and antigen specific. The biochemical part of innate immunity fuse supplement system, lysosomes and interferons. Role of supplements in innate immunity is comprised of nine proteins (C1-C9), which are a part of fragments and actuation. Adaptive immunity acts when innate immunity is inadequate in discarding specific pathogens and pathogen specific cells. The adaptive resistance contains two-fold limbs of cell and humoral immunity. IgG, IgA, IgM and IgD are the immunoglobins against various pathogenesis and pollutions in different concentrations in blood, protection against maladies. Bone marrow is the major hematopoietic organ and fundamental lymphoid organ; it is a site of cell duplication and maturation. Adaptive immunity is envisioned to update body’s resistance against insusceptible framework ailments and tumors too. In sound individuals the immunostimulants are required to fill in as prophylactic or promotive expert, i.e. enhancing the basal level of safe response through Azadirachta indica (Neem) Kingdom: Plantae, Division: Mangnoliophyta, Order: Sapindales Family: Maliaceae Genus: Azadirachta indica.

Abstract:

According to the arthritis Foundation, one in every two will develop symptoms of knee Osteoarthritis (OA) during their lives. One of the primary symptoms of persons with knee osteoarthritis is pain. Severity of the joint pain can vary from a minor ache to a severe and disabling pain accompanied by difficulty in walking due to instability of the knee. Due to the fact that OA is affecting millions worldwide and is often a progressive and irreversible degenerative process, functional improvement and pain control are reasonable treatment goals. Also measures need to be developed to prevent early progression of the disease. Currently the annually estimated cost per year to treat OA ranges from $15.5 to $26.6 billion, with some researchers estimating these figures to be much lower and the total cost is actually believed to exceed $89.1 billion in the near future. Despite the available treatment methods, there still persist a host of inadequacies that make cost containment a real issue Viddha, a non-pharmacological, local therapy of Ayurveda provides immediate pain relief as observed in the pilot study carried out on 10 patients at CBPACS, New Delhi. It is observed that Viddha practiced in patients with knee joint pain, not responding to NSAIDs and analgesics are getting immediate pain relief with increased range of motion etc. All it needs is 26-gauge half inch short, fine, brown hypodermic needle making it very much cost effective, just few minutes for the procedure to perform and significant analgesia without almost nil side effects with possibility of arresting the progression of disease.
