The vision, mission and values of the University of Michigan Integrative Medicine (UMIM) program reflect our belief that patients and our community are best served when all available therapies are considered in concert with an approach that recognizes the intrinsic wholeness of each individual. It also reflects our belief that the best medicine is practiced in collaboration with a wide variety of healthcare professionals and with our patients.
Our vision: To facilitate healing and wellness of mind, body, heart and spirit through clinical services, research and education.
Our mission: To provide responsible leadership in the integration of complementary, alternative and conventional medicine.
Our values: To live and work in balance with the community, the environment and each other. To touch beyond our reach and see beyond our vision."

Berberine from rhizoma coptidis is an oral hypoglycemic agent. It also has anti-obesity and anti-dyslipidemia activities. The action mechanism is related to inhibition of mitochondrial function, stimulation of glycolysis, activation of AMPK pathway, suppression of adipogenesis and induction of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor expression.

Berberine and Coptidis Rhizoma as novel antineoplastic agents: A review of traditional use and biomedical investigations - ScienceDirect - Journal of Ethnopharmacology
Berberine and Coptidis rhizoma as novel antineoplastic agents: a review of traditional use and biomedical investigations.
Tang J, Feng Y, Tsao S, Wang N, Curtain R, Wang Y.
J Ethnopharmacol. 2009 Oct 29;126(1):5-17. Epub 2009 Aug 15.

Conclusions
The modern evidences of treating cancer with Huanglian and berberine have a strong linkage with traditional concept and rules of using Huanglian in CM practice. As anticancer candidates with low toxicity, berberine and its altered structure, as well as Huanglian and its formulae, will attract scientists to pursue the potential anticancer effects and the mechanisms by using technologies of genomics, proteomics and other advanced approaches. On the other hand, relatively few in vivo studies have been conducted on anticancer effects of Huanglian and berberine. The clinical application of berberine or Huanglian as novel cancer therapeutic agents requires in vivo validations and further investigations of their anticancer mechanisms.

"PPAR modulators are drugs which act upon the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor."
Postmenopausal women with higher testosterone levels
"Postmenopausal women who have higher testosterone levels may be at greater risk of heart disease, insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome compared to women with lower testosterone levels, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). This new information is an important step, say researchers, in understanding the role that hormones play in women's health."

Health Canada Licenced Finger Pulse Oximeters, COPD Pulse Oximeters, Sport Pulse Oximeter.
"Our Finger Pulse Oximeters are high quality, Health Canada licenced finger pulse oximeters suitable for both medical use and use by athletes, pilots or anyone travelling, working or training at high altitudes.
Hypoxia is a pathological condition in which the body as a whole (generalized hypoxia) or a region of the body (tissue hypoxia) is deprived of adequate oxygen supply. Generalized hypoxia occurs in healthy people when they ascend to high altitude, where it causes altitude sickness leading to potentially fatal complications: high altitude pulmonary edema and high altitude cerebral edema. Hypoxia also occurs in healthy individuals when breathing mixtures of gases with a low oxygen content, e.g. while diving underwater especially when using closed-circuit rebreather systems that control the amount of oxygen in the supplied air. A mild and non-damaging intermittent hypoxia is used intentionally by athletes during altitude trainings to develop an athletic performance adaptation at both the systemic and cellular level. A Finger Pulse Oximeter is invaluable for monitoring blood oxygen saturation for these situations."
YouTube - Vitamin D: It's Not Just For Bones Anymore
David Feldman, MD, professor of medicine at Stanford, explores the biological action of Vitamin D beyond its widely understood role in the information and maintenance of bone. Emerging therapeutic uses of the vitamin include the prevention and treatment of breast, prostate and colon cancer, chronic kidney disease and arthritis, among other conditions.
