Integrative Medical Institute of Orange County

Dr. Ruelas looks at the molecular, genomic, psychosocial, cultural, behavioral, and the spiritual path, taking each of his patients through bridges not yet crossed and transcending the connection of the mind, body, and spirit. His approach is unique, transforming, refreshing and progressive. He takes the time to understand what led up to the current situation, what may be contributing to the recurrent problems and outlining a plan to begin remedying one’s difficulties. He understands Immunology, as a branch of biology that studies the immune system and the physiological functioning of the immune system in states of health and illness. Dr. Ruelas looks at both states and attempts to understand the missteps that occur in disease while working to optimize health. Such concepts as autoimmune disease, inflammatory and autoinflammatory dysfunction, hypersensitivity, and deficiencies. It is a fabric of studies that is interwoven in the fields of oncology, endocrinology, rheumatology, virology, bacteriology, parasitology, psychiatry, and dermatology. But in and of itself, the immune system within the body has no known location. There are components that might be outcomes but no one variable or variables are the system itself. Therefore, like the mind, it lies somewhere between matter, which plays a major role in the quality of life and maybe an outcome of the balance of energy our body mind and spirit interface with.
