From the advent of antibiotics, to the advances in recombinant DNA, to the invention of lasers, nuclear medicine and radiology, and the entire spectrum of advances in cellular biology, from neurotransmitters to stem cells, and of course the extraordinary surgical techniques developed in the last few decades, the shear genius of modern medical science is nothing short of miraculous.

That said, Integrative, Regenerative Medicine at its core was born of the failures of conventional-western-medicine that dominates the medical landscape of the US and Europe.
Without delving into the quagmire of arguments promulgated by its defenders and detractors, the facts of iatrogenic (caused by medical treatments) injury, disease and death attributable to conventional-western-medicine are indisputable. Whether iatrogenic death is the first or third greatest cause of death in the United States, no one disputes its ranking in the top five along with heart disease and cancer.
Surgery is another one of three primary approaches that conventional-western-medicine uses to intervene in disease.
Bottom line, it is commonly known by professionals as well as the general public that the primary approach of conventional-western-medicine is intervening in disease by three invasive methods…
All three of these methods are replete with serious side effects, complications and risks, which explain the high incidence of iatrogenic injury, disease and mortality. All three seek to intervene in the disease independently of a patient’s physiology, which I too believe is at times the appropriate and best option. However, all three are also an assault on the patient’s physiology, which once again, is the source of so many of the detrimental side-effects and dangers we see broadcast on 5 billion dollars of TV commercials every year.
For sure only a small fraction of western medicine is focused on eliminating the cause of disease or preventing disease. It is clearly evident that at its core conventional-western-medicine defines health as the absence of disease symptoms, and thus it has little understanding of what actually constitutes health itself, and accordingly has little to offer in support of promoting optimal health.
Finally, a disturbing trend has emerged throughout conventional-western-medicine, wherein purveyors of healthcare, which include a sequentially linked string of participants from government agencies to insurance companies to hospitals and doctors, will preferentially use a conventional therapy whose “scientific mechanism of action” is studied and purportedly understood, over an “unconventional” therapy, whose mechanisms of actions have not been “scientifically studied or validated”, but whose clinical outcomes are superior.

Out of the frustration and chaos of this morass, has emerged the voice of both patient and doctor who “just want to get well”, using whatever works, from where ever it comes. Simply stated, “Outcome” or “Evidenced” based medicine.
At AMA Regenerative Medicine, we start with this basic idea and add a few more dimensions to arrive at the following paradigm:
First and foremost is dedicated to successful clinical outcomes, as embraced by “evidence/outcome based medicine”.
Patient in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Oxygen inhaled under pressure is dissolved in all fluids of the body, so it’s more efficiently absorbed into all the body’s cells.
We believe this paradigm constitutes a transformational shift in how medicine should be practiced.

In contrast to invasive modalities, biochemically (pharmaceutical), physically (surgery) or radiologically, the purpose of Integrative, Regenerative Medicine is to restore the physiological and functional vitality of organ systems by working holistically with the natural mechanisms inherent in the purposeful design of human physiology.
For us this is more than just smart science and good medicine, it is also a spiritual pursuit to develop protocols to manifest three seminal elements:
Whether we call the source of all things “Source”, “Spirit”, “Life”, “Nature” or simply “God”, we believe that all things are created with purpose. In nature we see how every life-form can’t help but manifest its purpose, revealing the unfathomable mystery and utter perfection of its essential design.
At all levels, from outer skin, to inner organs, to cell membranes, to DNA, to molecules, atoms, electrons and subatomic particles, everything about life at every level is a synchronous symphony of purpose… effortlessly and perfectly expressing itself.
Consider the shear improbability of your next breath: The human body comprises 100 trillion cells and every one of these cells simultaneously and precisely performs 20,000 essential biochemical reactions every second. Thus, in order for you to take your next breath 20,000,000,000,000,000 different sequential activities must synchronize in perfect harmony in every single second. What is the probability that you could exist for even one second, without an underlying purpose that animates, coordinates, synergizes and synchronizes all this activity?
As design is a manifestation of intelligence and cannot exist without prerequisite purpose, and purpose is born exclusively of consciousness, all existence is a consequence of consciousness so vast it is unthinkable.

What is the probability that you could exist for even one second, without an underlying purpose that animates, coordinates, synergizes and synchronizes all this activity?
As human beings, we are uniquely endowed with a modicum of consciousness of this purposeful design, physiologically as well as spiritually.
Spiritually, we are designed with the irrepressible instinct to search for meaning and purpose in existence. Accordingly, we strive daily to align our fulfillment with our equally unique and innate capacity to experience the resonance of good and the dissonance of evil.
Physiologically, we know when we are in alignment with the purpose of our bodies’ internal design. We can feel the difference between the dissonance of eating junk food and the resonance of proper nourishment, between the resonance of breathing in fresh meadow air verses the dissonance of noxious vapors. And though there are times when invasive treatments are truly the best available option, we instinctively know that cutting up our tissues or disrupting our biochemistry, can cause much unintended and enduring damage, diminishing our spirit and warping our psyche.
Finally, we believe that the unfathomable intelligence that is inherent in the cosmic design of the universe, is holographically present in all its components. This divine intelligence is not only the source of the design of our body, but of all aspects of our existence. Thus, as utilizing medical protocols that “manifest the purpose of our physical design” produce rewards of health, vitality and beauty, so too are our lives rewarded with extraordinary meaningfulness, fulfillment and joy when we take a parallel path in our actions and behaviors to “manifest the purpose of our spiritual design”.
We believe that design cannot exist without prerequisite purpose, and thus humans too, are born “of purpose” and “on purpose”, both physically and spiritually. Therefore, regardless of what your individual understanding of the purpose of your existence might be, we celebrate our patients’ spiritual journey as they draw nearer to embracing and manifesting divine purpose in their lives.
May you experience Divine purpose in your life, and may you consciously manifest it with effortless perfection.
