Seems like the term "integrative medicine" is (1) all inclusive and (2) difficult to define objectively and thus very difficult to measure:

I am afraid Dennis you have answered the question without going through the attached file which actually is my research article that I have not been able to publish yet due to professional bias I am encountering. I depend very little on definitions recorded in literature. I usually define many terms on the directions of my own mind and also expect other friends to define in that way because I believe every expert on the List of Research Gate is equipped with a creative mind. I have floated the concept of "Integrated Medicine "and not that of "'Integrative Medicine" that you have rightly displayed. I am grateful for the trouble you have taken in responding to my request; yet I add an additional request. Please scan  the file and give me feedback

With highest regards

Dear Mohammad,

I intended to only make two points:

1.  The term "integrated medicine" has already been defined, and whether you should choose (1) to use another term or (2) to answer the question of how your use of the term differs from others.

2.  Your paper seems to be about both "medicine", e.g., prescription drugs that have gone through a regulatory process of approval, and "complementary alternative medicine" which rarely goes through a regulatory process of approval,  A regulatory approval process is based typically on randomized controlled trials.  Thus, your use of the phrase "integrated" would be bringing together professions that has a very different evidence base.

Yes definitely and for that only I am working for twenty five years without success.

Thanks Shanmugam for taking trouble to read my article thoroughly. I have not yet been able to publish it in a standard  journal due to professional bias which is damaging the interest of the poor countries. May God bless you on the track you are following sincerely. Let us join hands in hope of better end results.

Yes, it is workable not only as future problem but as present too.

Thanks a lot Theodore for taking pain to read the article, understanding and recommendation. The root problem is how to get it implemented in the hazards of opposition from the professional bias. I hope if a university of Integrated Medicine is designed with a framework  of stakeholders from all disciplines on equal footing  and appropriate curricula and syllabi are  developed , some  of the objectives may be achieved that ultimately translate into achievement of the goal.

Thanks all colleagues for supporting the idea
