THE START OF HEALING THAT CARES THROUGH - HICC

BY MS BELLE SURA

HEALING THAT CARES inspires Dr. Imelda “Meddie” Edodollon, MT, MD, NMD in going into integrative medicine as a diverse to the conventional medicine that we Filipinos are used to. Dr. Meddie believes that integrative medicine is the best approached in healing the whole person, not just the body, but the person’s mind and soul as well. She established the clinic known as Holistic Integrative Care Center (HICC). the beauty of having the “love based” approach in curing a patient in this kind of medication amazes Dr. Meddie, who has been a practicing medicine doctor for the past seven years. “We have to cure the root cause of the sickness,” she said. 

She further said that in the field of medicine to be called healthy it is “not an absence of a disease but a balance of everything. According to Dr. Meddie, integrative medicine combines the conventional medicine which our medical doctors are doing and the alternative medicine that are being practice by several people just like taking herbal medicine to treat a particular disease or sickness or illness. 

Normally, she said, conventional medicine as doctors usually do in treating a patient is departmentalized, wherein the sickness is separated into several sections for example, a cardio vascular disease is treated separately with a kidney disease or other internal diseases. 

The approached that integrative medicine uses is holistic, meaning the patient’s body, mind, and soul is being treated that is why it takes at least an hour for a doctor to diagnose the patient before giving him prescriptions. 

Dr. Meddie further said that integrative medicine is totally a whole new field of medication as it treats the patient combining the herbal medicine, diet, lifestyle modification among others. It is really holistic in approach, treating the person as a whole, his body, mind and soul. 

Medical practitioners like Dr. Meddie would also diagnose the patient, and to discern whether the sickness is brought about by stress, emotional problems, psychological or even environmental. 

Dr. Meddie started doing integrative medicine four years ago and established HICC to cater to the needs of the patients especially those having long standing illnesses that seemed incurable by standard practice. She opted to have HICC rather than doing hospital work or having a conventional privet clinic. She recalled that the inspiration begun when her father suffered multi-organ failure (lung, heart and kidney) that may eventually lead to untimely and unexpected death. As a loving daughter, she succumbs to any kind of therapy that could cure her father and in 2012 she came across integrative medicine. Through integrative medicine Dr. Meddie’s father survived. Since then, Dr. Meddie decided to practice this in which is governed by the international protocols. She spends time studying several treatment methods and even went to various institutions abroad offering different approaches. Dr. Meddie is among that medical practitioner that propagates the practice of integrative medicine that certainly helps a patient to have the good quality of life any person deserves disease free. Also, Dr. Meddie is the only Filipino doctor that is recognized and accredited by the Gerson Institute in San Diego, California, USA that introduces a therapy that cures cancer and other chronic diseases known today.
