We at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Akasha</span> have a passion for Integrative Medicine and strongly believe that illness is not just a set of pathologies but also a personal history. We want to know your personal history and how it relates to your illness. What are the challenges that your condition may bring you as well as the opportunities for growth and well being that it may also bring. We believe that symptoms are the body's way of telling you what it needs. We teach you and support you to develop a connection with it - and how it connects to your mind and spirit. In other words, we teach you to listen to your body as we help you feel better, healthier, and have more vitality.<br /><br />I wanted to end this welcome entry by sharing our Mission Statement with you. I believe that it not only beautifully captures who we are but it also shows our deep commitment to a new paradigm in health care. One that is based on illness prevention and healthy living rather than a"band-aid" approach which treats one disease after the other without looking at the reasons why it happened to begin with.<br /><br />Once again welcome<br /><br />With much <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">gratitude</span>,<br />Edison <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">de</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Mello</span>,MD, PhD<br />Founder and Executive Director,<br />Co-director of the Men's Clinic<br /><a href="http://www.akashacenter.com/">www.akashacenter.com</a><br />drdemello@akashacenter.com<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;">Our Mission:</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">The </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Akasha</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> Center for Integrative Medicine, together with the </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">de</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Mello</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> Medical Corporation, is a sanctuary for health, wellness and healing.</span><div style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" id="content" class="page"><div id="content-padding" class=""> <div class="entry-page"> <p>We embrace and honor the profound power of our patients’ mind, body, community and spirit.</p> <p>We recognize each person as already whole and complete, in their path of health, spiritual and financial well-being.</p> <p>Our approach to evidenced-based integrative medicine is guided by both the ancient wisdom of Eastern medicine and the ever growing technological advances of Western Medicine.</p> <p>As facilitators of health and healing, we embody a new model of health care providing a whole-person approach to comprehensive health care.</p> <p>We bring support for each member of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Akasha</span> community in their own path toward optimal well-being.</p> <p>We affirm our patients birth right to live lives of tenable happiness and fulfillment as we show deep appreciation and respect for the planet.</p> </div> </div> </div><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/982662228286107382-9185011450369865493?l=akashacenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edison de Mello,MD;Ph.D - Exec Directorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04685382317540255212noreply@blogger.com1
