S1 E4 - Mind over Muscles

June 1, 2020
28min

S1 E8 - Hips and Waist: The Center Is the Commander

June 1, 2020

June 1, 2020

Advertisment for private Clinic
Dr. Bauer is evidently informed on the consensus of the scientific community regarding so called "alternative medicines". He is well aware of the evidence, or lack thereof, of the effectiveness of the cures that are proposed in his clinic. He never ventures to claim that there is any science based proof that integrative medicines work but only that, in some cases, some experiments suggest a possible correlation between certain non western cures and a perceived improvement of a patient's health conditions.
Most of the integrative treatments proposed are in fact easily correlated with well being. Relaxing, exercise, a healthy diet and meditation are all factors that understandably improve a person's health conditions and that is no mistery. Just as reckless drunk driving can be hazardous to your health (and that of others).
So for the most part this lecture states what should be quite obvious.
Not so when he proceeds to illustrate the supposed benefits of acupuncture and chiropractic treatments. Here he borders closely on quackery when he omits to state that both treatments have been largely debunked and limits himself to state that "some studies seem to show that there mught be beneficial effects". A

For a different, more skeptical (and in my opinion, correct) view, I suggest Dr. Steven Novella's "Medical Myths" and "A Skeptic's Guide" also in the Great Courses or Paul Offit's "Do you believe in magic?" or any book by Dr. Michael Shermer.
The above books give details about the studies they refer to so you can check facts out for yourself.
Hope this is helpful.

All about meditation NOT integrative medicine
If you want to know all the ways meditation can help your health, this course is good. If you want to know what integrated medicine is, what to expect in integrated medicine, or how to access it, forget it....

The information is good, but this course is not what it the title says....

Very basic.
Would you try another book from The Great Courses and/or Professor Brent A. Bauer?

The only Great Courses Book I have heard so far that I would not recommend.

What was most disappointing about The Great Courses’s story?

I feel like any adult would have known everything in this book just from living in our culture.

As human beings are integrative, this concept of medicine managing different aspects of the effect of disease in the whole person is very practical and realistic. I loved it.

Too bad these weren't recorded live
This audio seems to have come from the author reading his lecture notes rather than actual lectures. I think he would have had more energy had he been actually delivering this information live. I am sure they were very interesting in-person, but I had to speed up the recording to make it through.

However, that said, it was well-researched and had good information. Worth listening to if you are exploring integrative medicine. Anyone considering using Mayo Clinic services should listen to the last two chapters at a minimum, because they speak of options that are available there.

The Science of Integrative Medicine
This presentation was well done with good information. The reason I only gave it four stars was only because it was very basic. For anyone just starting their study of integrative medicine, it was great! I have read and studied the topic quite a bit over the years, so there was no new information for me. I would highly recommend it to someone with little knowledge of the subject.

Very interesting
I have not completed this entire course, but am 75% done. I am captivated by the material. The author is great at telling the story and explaining the medical terminology. I am not a doctor nor do I work in this environment, but have always liked to know more about the medical profession. 

I find this course very good at describing the various ailments people may have as they come into an ED unit. It makes me appreciate how hard the job is as an MD in the emergency room. I love the presenters voice and tone. He makes the story so real and is a good teacher.

Clear, Concise, Convincing!
Nothing like science-based, proven strategies that improve wellness to get my happy dance going. Dr Bauer offers a friendly manner and well-paced course that is accessible, achievable, and believable. As a fitness professional, I have already seen and experienced the benefits of alternative medicine. Given the Mayo Clinic's chops and this course, I can now point to one polished, comprehensive source that can help people age actively. Well-organized, well-defined terms, well researched. Listen, learn, feel and heal!

Not a Great Use of Time
I have completed well over 100 of the Great Courses. I almost always come away feeling that the time invested in watching them was well worth while. Not so with this course.

Dr. Bauer is personable and easy to listen to, and he is certainly well informed about the various aspects of supplementary treatments and activities. He does an admirable job of explaining what can be undertaken to improve one’s health, and encourages consultation with your primary health care provider in many cases. Research findings are presented to support the activities, showing the benefits of them.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of repetition in his discourse, as well as in the images that are used. The course also seems to have a secondary agenda of laying accolades on the Mayo Clinic Integrative Medicine and Health unit, which isn’t particularly useful when one doesn’t live anywhere near it. That said, though, it does provide a good foundation for the ideas he presents.

I recommend the course because of the breadth of information it provides, but caution the viewer that for many there may not be a strong correlation between the time spent watching and the benefits from it.

As a final comment, Kanopy streaming service offers about 100 Great Courses through our library, which is how I watched this course. My compliments to The Great Courses for supporting this service!

Good Common Sense Approach to Medicine
Brent Bauer presents a survey of alternative medicine. His approach is based on a logical application of various methods which is grounded in medical research. I often consult the Mayo Clinic's website to see what they think of various types of herbal medicine, and Bauer takes the same sensible approach that one can see on the Mayo Clinic's website. Many doctors closely follow guidelines, which are often developed partly in response to political pressures, and it is refreshing to see a doctor who thinks through the issues before arriving at a recommendation.

The Science of Integrative Medicine
Integrative Medicine is a hot buzzword these days and I bought this course so I could get an authoritative take on what it is and how it differs from traditional. medicine. It turns out to be an alternate take on how to deal with medical issues, through acupuncture, hypnosis, and other approaches rather than traditional medicine's "pill or knife" approach. Integrative medicine is light on peer-review studies and solid proof of its effectiveness, but is part of a holistic view of medicine. and should be considered by anyone.

A great course!
I think it's fantastic that clinics like the Mayo clinic are taking such a strong interest in complementary therapies. It's great to see science catching up with ancient medical techniques by carrying out proper clinical, and much needed, trials. I really enjoyed this course. Very informative. An excellent resource to quote from if your doctor is still sceptical about certain complementary therapies, as sadly many still are, and hasn't bothered to do any research.
