About The National Foundation for
Integrative Medicine • We are open to everything – AND vested in nothing
The National Foundation of Integrative Medicine
(NFIM) is committed to making this future a reality for
all of us. We agree with the Bravewell Collaborative and
Institute of Medicine studies where they concluded that • Health always supersedes health-care
• We look for technology and modalities that work to
create a superior safe & clinical outcome
• We do not pick winners or losers – we study and report
on everything – you will decide
• In God we Trust – Everyone else needs to bring DATA
• Follow the Money – (From all the President’s Men)
• We play ‘Money Ball for Medicine’ – Follow the Data
