Integrated medicine refers to a combination of traditional Western medicine and alternative medicine. The author/speaker is obviously skeptical about this combination. The analogy is to a combination of astronomy (science) and astrology (not science).

Please quote your source in future. If you copy a sentence or two from an article, then tell us in post #1 where you found it, what the article was about and who wrote it. That's context.

Additionally, please note that a better title would have been Integrated medicine.
