My interest in starting a Holistic Nursing Care business led me to investigate Integrative and Holistic Care across the country. Somehow, I ran across Dr. JP Saleeby's name and emailed him some questions regarding how his services are received. He was kind enough to respond to me and let me know about his TeleMedicine company. He is a nutritionally minded physician in South Carolina who combines allopathic (Western) medicine with well-tested complementary methods such as Ayerveda, Acupuncture, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I perused through his website and found the articles he has written to be very interesting. Although it is truly my goal to create more of an integrative/holistic community locally, I am including a link to his website for everyone to have the opportunity to not only read his works but also to see how the rest of the country is embracing alternative means of care.

Also included is an interesting link to a news article about Dr Saleeby and his wife and how they determined to change the way he practices medicine - taking his care to the patient rather than waiting for the patient to access care in a clinic/hospital/emergency setting. His return to the "black bag" form of personal attention and individualized medical care is a reminder to health care practitioners across the country of the need to connect with our patients. Primary focused care in the prevention of disease and the promotion of a wellness focused lifestyle will ultimately improve not only the lives of the patients we care for but our own lives as care providers as well.
