Functional and Integrative Wellness Medicine and its effect on General Health Quality of Life among Chronic illness patients - A Scientific Outcome Analysis.

Background: A holistic view of the individual is the hallmark of Integrative Medicine, which combines the best practices of conventional medicine and complementary and alternative medicine to meet each patient's unique needs most safely and cost-effectively possible. Aim: The study aims to determine whether integrated therapies, including Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation (EBOO), Major Auto Haemotherapy (MAHT), Vitamin C IV infusions, and chelation therapy, can help treat chronic medical conditions and normalize blood parameters. The study also evaluates the effectiveness of integrated therapy in terms of pain management, mobility, sleep, amnesia, depression, appetite, and bowel movements. Materials and method: A retrospective hospital record-based research study on chronic diseases was conducted using secondary data obtained from all the case records of patients who underwent integrated therapy at Wellness Centre in Chennai, India, from 2019-2023. A Chi square test was used to analyze the relationship between age, gender, and response to treatment for the various chronic diseases. One-way ANOVA was used to determine the effect of integrated therapy in normalizing the blood parameters. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS 27.0 software. Results: Out of 47 patients examined, 77.6% showed improved general health, and almost 48.8% were relieved from pain. Also, there is a significant (<0.001) difference in normalizing the abnormal blood parameters. Conclusion: The results are unambiguous that individuals with chronic diseases have benefited greatly from integrative therapy. Future advancements in patient care will be facilitated by the advent of a holistic approach to treatment that incorporates integrated therapy and traditional medicine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
