We had a clear vision: Our mission: To improve clinical efficacy, practice satisfaction, and community impact of clinicians practicing collaborative and integrative medicine. This journal is about the new medicine we are evolving together. I am honored to say that we have been faithful to this vision. We have published many important articles, Editorials, Commentaries and Case Reports that have substantially advanced the fields of functional, integrative, natural and environmental medicine. <i>IMCJ</i> has played a big role in documenting the credibility of Health Medicine, by whatever name. And, the time has come for change. With my again taking on the responsibilities of President of Bastyr University I had to recruit expert help to ensure <i>IMCJ</i> would continue to be an important resource for clinicians. We announce today that Chris D'Adamo, PhD is now Co-Editor-in-Chief of <i>IMCJ</i>.

This is particularly true for manual labourers, IT specialists, healthcare personnel, and desk workers. Matrix Rhythm Therapy helps restore cellular function by reducing muscle tension, promoting microcirculation, and neuromuscular activation.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>This study investigates the effects of Matrix Rhythm Therapy and conventional physiotherapy on range of motion, pain, and tissue-level changes in individuals with non-specific neck pain.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Thirty-four individuals (18-25 years) with mild to moderate neck pain (Neck Disability Index score 5-24) were randomly allocated to Group A and Group B, with n=17 each. Both received five days of conventional physiotherapy, with Group B also undergoing one Matrix Rhythm Therapy session. Assessments included trapezius muscle thickness and area (ultrasonography), pain threshold (pain pressure algometer), and craniovertebral angle (goniometer) for neck deviations.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Compared to Group A, Group B demonstrated larger post-treatment decreases in upper trapezius thickness at rest (17.93% vs. 8.91%), trapezius area (33.79% vs. 18.37%), pain (-32.30% vs. -25.29%), and improved craniovertebral angle (-6.39% vs. -3.29%). Within-group analysis revealed substantial improvements in Group B's craniovertebral angle (49.59 ± 5.47 to 52.76 ± 5.62) and pain pressure algometer (5.24 ± 1.17 to 6.93 ± 1.14).

This case report reviews the literature and highlights the case of a 4-year-old boy with autism and his improvements following the adoption of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) protocol, which eliminates sugars (except for honey and fruit), grains, lactose, and processed foods. After following the SCD for 17 months, he experienced the elimination of autism symptoms, and his individualized education program (IEP) was dissolved. Long-term follow-up and diagnostic re-evaluation with the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) confirmed an ADOS score of zero. The young man is now 19 and is studying in college.

{"title":"Unconventional Medicine and Institutional Resistance: A Case History About the Uphill Battles Facing an Innovative Cancer Therapy.","authors":"Linda L Isaacs","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>This analysis revisits the controversial 1990 Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) report commissioned by the U.S. Congress to evaluate unconventional cancer treatments, comparing the political pressures on the medical establishments then to the present-day National Institutes of Health initiatives. The article argues that when political pressure forces the medical establishment to investigate therapies, the bias will be toward refuting them, applying burdensome standards, and overlooking potentially substantive data. While the OTA report discussed multiple unconventional cancer treatments, this article refutes their critique of the methods of William Donald Kelley, D.D.S., and of the investigation of his work by Nicholas J. Gonzalez, M.D. Notably, the OTA initially omitted Gonzalez's most compelling data, later subjecting it to review by both unconventional and mainstream physicians. The outcome revealed a polarization: physicians sympathetic to alternative medicine recognized unexpected remissions deserving scientific attention, while mainstream oncologists dismissed the results, mainly due to reliance on survival rather than tumor regression. This narrative underscores the likelihood of methodological nitpicking when evaluating unconventional scientific evidence. It can serve as guidance and a warning for researchers in this area.</p>","PeriodicalId":13593,"journal":{"name":"Integrative medicine","volume":"25 1","pages":"30-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13055414/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147638813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
