Welcome 

The Center for Environmental and Integrative Medicine (CEIM) in Knoxville, TN, is East Tennessee’s first comprehensive, integrative medicine facility.  We combine environmental medicine and integrative medicine to tackle some of the more difficult medical problems like Environmental Allergies, Candidiasis, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Heavy Metal Toxicity, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, and Wilson's Syndrome. 

We define Environmental Medicine as the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that are directly or indirectly caused or made worse by factors in our environment.  These could include sensitivities to foods, allergens, such as pollen, heavy metals or other substances. 

Integrative Medicine is the holistic combining of  modern day medical practice with more traditional, complementary, and alternative practice for the total well-being of an individual.  It employs modern medical diagnostic testing with traditional and non-traditional treatments to improve overall well-being.

We hope you enjoy and benefit from our web site.  Click on CONDITIONS here or above to see a discussion of  candidiasis, chronic fatigue, environmental illness, fibromyalgia, heavy metal toxicity, mercury poisoning, multiple chemical sensitivities, and Wilson's syndrome.  Click on THERAPIES here or above to see a discussion of biooxidative therapy, chelation, detoxification, natural hormone replacement, orthomolecular therapy, IVv therapy, and weight management.  We have provided a lot of introductory information and many links to additional resources.  

If you need our services, we want you to know that our entire staff strives to be patient, supporting, caring and understanding.  We will encourage you to take an active role in your own health care. We don't believe it's "all in your head.”  We will carefully listen to your history, evaluate your symptoms with a thorough examination, appropriate laboratory and other testing and we will explain the entire process before we proceed. Finally, we will arrive at a reasonable course of treatment together to improve your health and well-being. Most importantly, we will take you seriously.
