What is the Unipathic Difference?

Unipathic Medicine is an association dedicated to the education of personalized medicine, created by Dr. Dino Prato, N.M.D, and headed by a board of like-minded practicing physician members. Dr. Dino Prato is also the founder of Envita Medical Centers. Envita has been providing world class integrative care for the past 17 years, and after watching the rapid decline and pollution of this highly specialized field of medicine, Dr. Prato felt that something had to be done. Creating Unipathic Medicine was the best way for patients and practitioners alike to distinguish true integrative medical practice from the rest in the hopes of saving more lives. The goal is that in the future, the Unipathic medical model becomes part of mainstream medicine so that more patients have access to viable, research-based, personalized, and quality-controlled integrative medical care when it comes to the treatment and prevention of cancer and chronic disease.

Here’s how and why Unipathic Medicine came to be: As genetic testing, biomarkers, immune markers, infectious disease markers, and other specialized diagnostics became available, Unipathic physicians discovered that around 80% of the patients who were coming to them were on the wrong drugs and had been given the wrong treatments based on their specific condition and genetic make-up. But something else also happened while Unipathic physicians were running those in-depth diagnostics. They discovered new markers for disease that there were no treatment approaches for yet. Through the precise science of integrative medicine, the Unipathic physicians were able to find both drug and non-drug approaches to match these targets, and then deliver them in the proper sequence to achieve the desired outcome. But by then, their unique treatments and proprietary processes were being lumped in with everyone else from snake oil salesmen to small town alternative medical providers to big name hospitals that were all claiming to practice “integrative medicine.” But of course what others mean by “integrative medicine,” and what Unipathic physicians mean are two totally different things.

The majority of “integrative medicine” suffers from a lack of standards- including no quality control or support in the research data. When it comes to alternative medicine, only a small fraction is research-based and viable in the peer-reviewed data for the treatment of cancer and chronic disease. And when it comes to conventional medicine, only a fraction has moved beyond the one-size-fits all standard treatment regimes. The majority of the conventional medicine is not based on targeted and tailored drug delivery. Lastly, when it comes to truly “integrating” these two approaches, few do it effectively. Unipathic Medicine’s approach and technology is so completely unique and different that it required the creation of a new term. Unipathic Medicine is not just the practice of conventional and alternative medicine, but it is a new field in and of itself.

Unipathic Medicine combines the best 5% of the latest in personalized conventional medicine and the best 5% of research-based alternative medicine to offer the top 10% of available therapies worldwide for the treatment of cancer and chronic disease. Integrating the top 10% of treatments from across medical disciplines has enabled Unipathic doctors to provide patients with deeper diagnoses and a broader array of more specialized treatments, all of which is leading to better outcomes. Unipathic Medicine ensures that each patient is provided with the latest technologies, innovations, and diagnostics from around the world and from a variety of medical disciplines, and that those treatments are administered in a quality-controlled, synergistic, and unified manner. No practitioner or healthcare provider has done that yet. Unipathic doctors are the first, and nothing short of a new term would suffice to distinguish what they’re doing from the rest. The term “Unipathic” was coined because it best describes the treatment approach- to unify the most effective and targeted treatments from the conventional, naturopathic, allopathic, functional, and osteopathic medical fields into a singular and revolutionary model.
