25 Functional Foods & Beverages Mainstream manufacturers making functional products Disease prevention claims (e.g. anti-cancer) currently restricted “ Functional foods an increasingly popular alternative to preventive medicines

26 Natural Therapies Australians spend ~$2.3 billion a year (4 x their spend on pharmaceuticals) 120% increase in spend since 1993 Over half of Australians use ~40% with chronic diseases use 60% of women & 44% of men (and increasing) visit alternative practitioners Significant and growing use reflecting consumer preferences

27 Vit C injections Ginkgo Biloba Lycopene Zinc Naturopathy Chiropracty Oxygen therapy Colonic irrigation

28 Natural Therapies Beliefs Look for safety above proven clinical efficacy Wide availability from non- pharmacy outlets and derivation from natural products has promoted perceptions of safety. The ‘ wellness’ market often demonises pharmaceutical products Patterns of Use To complement rather than replace conventional treatment pragmatically select treatments to best fit particular medical and health problems Upsurge in use as anti-depressants cholesterol reducers improving CV health

29 Reasons For Growth Disillusionment with orthodox medicine/ hospitals given perceptions of reduced quality of care.

35 Personalised, Integrative Medicine ‘the capacity to predict disease development and influence decisions about lifestyle choices or to tailor medical practice to an individual’ Uses knowledge of individual metabolism or genetic make-up History ABX resistance testing (bacterial infection) Viral resistance testing (eg HIV) Genomic Medicine Gene Sequencing Genetic Mutation testing (eg breast cancer, IBD) Drugs targeted to narrower indications, hence limited populations Well established in Europe & US

36 Personalised, Integrative Medicine Can facilitate disease prediction, prevention and treatment : determine if increased risk of disease, followed by promotion of and support for compliance with prevention Diagnosing earlier using optimal surveillance, allowing more effective interventions or treatment options; enhancing therapeutic efficacy by ensuring the most appropriate drug is used and that dosing takes into consideration any genetic variants, which may influence metabolism of the drug; avoiding preventable drug related complications and side effects
