Preventative Medicine
Integrative medicine is like your personal health detective, looking at all aspects of your well-being. It’s not just about treating symptoms; it’s about preventing issues from cropping up in the first place.

“There is now consensus that significant changes to the way healthcare is provided, how we live, work and look after ourselves are needed to meet these challenges.”
Professor Avni Sali AM
Founding Director of NIIM
Our vision is that NIIM will lead independent research in Australia and worldwide. NIIM’s research scope is uniquely broad and holistic, providing insights into improved health outcomes in domains including nutrition, exercise, mental health, supplements and lifestyle.
Circulating Tumour Cells (CTC) Study
This observational CTC study uses the ISET® system to detect Circulating Tumour Cells (CTC) and other rare cells in the blood. Screening for CTCs can assist in early diagnosis of potential malignancy.
The Cognitive Preservation Study 2
This project is being conducted by A/Prof Karin Ried (Director of Research, NIIM), Prof Avni Sali (Director, NIIM), and Lisa Rapley (Research Assistant, NIIM) at the National Institute of Integrative Medicine. This research project has been approved by the National Institute of Integrative Medicine Human Research Ethics Committee on [16 Oct 2025]. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are the most common neurodegenerative diseases globally and with an aging population, their prevalence is expected to increase drastically over the coming decades. Currently, there are no treatments that work to prevent further decline or improve cell functioning. Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation (PBM) is an emerging, non-invasive treatment that may improve cognitive function and/or motor symptoms associated with these diseases. This 12 month study aims to examine the effect of twice daily red light therapy using a red light helmet on cognition and motor symptoms in people who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease.
Rife Frequency Study
This study uses Electro-Magnetic-Frequency Therapy (EMF), for the treatment of cancer and/or pathogens, and Circulating Tumour Cell (CTC) blood testing to assess EMF treatment effectiveness.
