Integrated Medicine Centre is the first of its kind in Europe
Tuesday, November 9th, 2004
The first centre in integrated medicine in the whole of Europe has opened in Naas. The Irish Centre of Integrated Medicine (ICIM) based at Monread Avenue is the very first of its kind in Europe and has already built up a solid reputation in its first six months of operation. The centre focuses on natural and alternative medicine and treatments and practitioners work in tandem with mainstream medical practitioners.
Each of the 15 practitioners based at the centre focuses on particular aspects of treatments, physical, mental and or emotional difficulties. The centre also provides a unique testing service to patients who require full blood test, hormone test, liver functions or allergy testing. Traditionally patients having standard tests such as blood tests done often wait for up to two weeks for results. The ICIM provides the patient and local GPs access to results within one or two days and some test results can be determined while the patient waits.
Felipe Reitz and Jean FitzGerald, the centre directors believe that this speedy method allows for more efficient and effective treatment of patients. “The testing that we do here allows us to determine necessary treatments almost immediately,” said Felipe. “Because we can give speedy prognosis the patient’s treatment can begin earlier and traditional medical testing such as a standard blood test at the end of the treatments will show how effective the natural treatment has been. This is very useful for research purposes.”
The 23 different types of treatments available at the centre include acupuncture, Qi Gong or Chi Kung, cranial osteopathy, allergy testing, homeopathy, osteopathy, reflexology, reiki, neuro linguistic programming, counselling, hypnotherapy and psychotherapy. Jean FitzGerald, a homeopath and bio-resonance practitioner, works closely with traditional general practitioners who often refer their patients to the centre for treatment. Jean currently attends her Mayfair practise in London monthly and has held clinics at Harley St. as well as at the world famous Hale Clinic which treated celebrities such as Tina Turner and the late Princess Diana. Jean started her own training with Dr. Harold Gaier - one of the top naturopaths in Britain - at the hale Clinic. Jean is now considered to be the top specialists in allergy testing in Ireland.
A graduate of biology, science and the power of natural herbs and flowers has always been a passion of Felipe and his family. Felipe’s granduncle Raulino Reitz was one of the most famous botanists in the world and is accredited to the discovery of over 700 different types of orchids. Felipe also spent 12 years working in the field of martial arts, which directed him towards acupuncture. His unique approach to treatment allows him to combine methods of medical Qi Gong - an ancient art of self -healing - with acupuncture.
