Josh Geetter, whose dad was a physician, places Oriental Medicine with its five main branches– acupuncture, herbs & diet, bodywork, yogas, physical therapy & meditation, and heat therapy (cupping) – in the framework of Integrative Medicine (IM).
“True IM means collaboration,” he explains, “It’s the oncologist working with the acupuncturist working with the dietitian working with the physical therapist working with the general practitioner.”
Doctor of Internal Medicine Sharon Grundy, who serves as Medical Director of Primary Care at the Telluride Regional Medical Center (TRMC) and as Public Health Medical Officer for San Miguel County, has this to say about Geetter:
“I found Josh’s collaboration and support to be invaluable … He’s a master of medicinal herbs and a true healer. We’re blessed to have him in our community.”
For those who like prompts for stories or poems, this month’s prompt is: “Autumn in the Mountains.”
Stories & Poems free series happens on the third Wednesday of each month. The featured guest gives a 30-40 min. presentation, followed by a short Q & A period after the presentation. Then there’s a passing of the gourd, when community members in attendance are encouraged to share stories or poems.
