Scientific Consulting for  Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) & Integrative Medicine (IM)

Udana Inc provides Scientific Consulting CAM Integrative Medicine, we help physicians, health professionals, patients, and individuals seeking reliable information understand the current evidence—benefits, risks, and uncertainties—so decisions are made under physician guidance and aligned with clinical practice and regulations.

Why Scientific Consulting CAM Integrative Medicine

Consultation time is limited, and the scientific literature grows every month. As a result, many physicians cannot continuously follow advances in evidence-based medicine (EBM) and evidence-based complementary and integrative medicine (EBCAM/IM), so useful findings often go underused. To address this, we close that gap with structured, up-to-date reviews and clear summaries that support meaningful clinician–patient conversations and informed choices.

Why Patients Seek Complementary and Integrative Medicine

People often explore complementary approaches for reasons such as:

• A desire to avoid toxicity associated with some synthetic drugs
• Preference for less invasive options or fewer side effects
• Seeking a better quality of life when conventional therapies fall short
• Philosophical preference for natural approaches
• A perception that conventional care addresses symptoms more than causes
• Dissatisfaction with prior clinical experiences
• The need for adjunctive options when chronic or severe conditions have not responded as hoped

Despite these motivations, we respect them while focusing on what the evidence supports, where uncertainties remain, and how to proceed safely.

Methodology: How We Deliver Evidence-Based Reviews

We frame questions with PICO, run transparent searches (PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, ClinicalTrials.gov), document PRISMA-style search flow, and—when relevant—apply GRADE by outcome to rate certainty. As a result, we deliver clear, actionable information that supports clinical decision-making.
