PNIE (Psycho Neuro Immuno Endocrinology)
Psycho Neuro Immuno Endocrinology or PNIE is the branch of integrative medicine that studies the bi-directional communication between the neuroendocrine and immune systems and its effect on health.
Numerous studies and research in PNIE have conclusively demonstrated that biopsychosocial factors such as stress, negative emotions or depression can have a negative impact on immune health.
The PNIE approach is effective for metabolic based diseases such as metabolic syndrome, type II diabetes, overweight or obesity; chronic fatigue syndrome; inflammatory based diseases such as autoimmunities, digestive dysfunctions, allergies, fibromyalgia among others; or neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson, depression,… in which the relationship with the digestive system and the state of the intestinal microbiota is fundamental.
¿En qué consiste la medicina holística?
La medicina integrativa y holística es aquella que integra los conocimientos de la medicina alopática (medicina convencional) con los de la medicina biológica, naturista o complementaría.
De este modo se beneficia de un abordaje terapéutico más respetuoso con el organismo siempre que sea posible, sin perder las valiosas aportaciones de la medicina alopática o convencional, como pueden ser las cirugías, el tratamiento del cáncer con antineoplásticos o el uso de antibióticos y otros medicamentos, cuando estos son realmente necesarios.
