Press Release! Decoding Ai Bias In Medicine

Faculty of the American College of Natural Medicine releases new Medical Textbook!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Decoding AI Bias in Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Ignores Traditional, Indigenous, and Holistic Healing by Dr. Anthony B. James & Dr. Benoit Tano
Meta Journal Press Announces Groundbreaking New Book:

“Decoding AI Bias in Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Ignores Traditional, Indigenous, and Holistic Healing”

Brooksville, FL, July 4, 2025 — Meta Journal Press proudly announces the release of Decoding AI Bias in Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Ignores Traditional, Indigenous, and Holistic Healing, a pioneering work by Dr. Anthony B. James and Dr. Benoit Tano. The book is now available worldwide in print and Kindle ebook formats on Amazon.

Decoding AI Bias in Medicine confronts one of the most urgent challenges in modern healthcare: the hidden biases embedded in artificial intelligence (AI) systems used for clinical decision-making. As AI becomes increasingly central to diagnostics, treatment planning, and healthcare policy, this book reveals how current models often overlook or marginalize traditional, indigenous, and holistic healing practices, perpetuating disparities and limiting equitable care.

Drawing on extensive research and clinical experience, Dr. James and Dr. Tano provide a comprehensive analysis of how AI bias originates, from data collection and model development to real-world deployment—and its profound implications for diverse patient populations. The authors critically examine why AI systems frequently fail to capture the cultural, historical, and social contexts of non-Western healing traditions, and how this oversight can exacerbate health inequities[1][2][3].

Key topics include:

  • The lifecycle of AI bias in medicine and its clinical consequences[1][2].
  • Case studies illustrating the exclusion of traditional and indigenous knowledge from AI-driven healthcare.
  • Strategies for integrating holistic healing perspectives into future AI models.
  • Recommendations for clinicians, policymakers, and technologists to ensure AI supports truly inclusive and equitable care[4][3].

This essential volume is a call to action for the medical and AI communities to recognize and address the limitations of current technologies. It advocates for a future where artificial intelligence enhances—not hinders—access to the full spectrum of healing traditions.

Decoding AI Bias in Medicine is available for purchase at Amazon in both print and Kindle ebook editions.

Article updated March 1, 2025

“Natural Solutions for Infections for Thai Yoga and Ayurveda Practitioners“

Infections and Infectious diseases, from simple topical to chronic catastrophic, are always a concern.

As a SomaVeda® Thai Yoga, Ayurveda, and or other Natural Medicine provider, you need to have concrete and reliable strategies to deal effectively with infection. This is no joke. Many medical office visits begin and end with a minor infection not adequately treated that escalates. Once inside that medical facility, emergency room, etc., you are now exposed to potentially even more severe types of hospital-born infection such as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ), Legionella (Legionella pneumophila ), etc. If you could handle these infections at home or for your patients and clients, you would save them time and money, but potentially save them from risk of death from other unnecessary contagious exposure. What if there were concrete steps that if you were exposed to some harmful pathogen that you could do at home that could improve the efficacy of conventional treatments by 30%, if not more?

Flu Season is here!

We are heading into Cold and Flu season. Now is the time to prepare for how this exposure will affect you, your clients, and your family!

This course now offers a certificate of completion suitable for framing!

Why do we need natural solutions for infections? Real-life examples and the rise of antibiotic-resistant viral and bacterial infections. This course will present a broad overview of the infectious disease issue from the perspective of a natural health practitioner. We will examine both specific concerns and their solution strategies. These strategies, once understood, can be implemented both in personal life and in counseling with affected clients in the wellness counseling model.

What is evidence-based about myofascial chains? A systematic review

NIH National Library of MedicineNIH: NLM PubMed®

Syndicated from PubMed.org

Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2015 Aug 14. pii: S0003-9993(15)01064-3. doi: 10.1016/j.apmr.2015.07.023. [Epub ahead of print]

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To provide evidence for the existence of six myofascial meridians proposed by Myers (1997) based on anatomical dissection studies.

DATA SOURCES:

Relevant articles published between 1900 and December 2014 were searched in MEDLINE (Pubmed), ScienceDirect and Google Scholar.

STUDY SELECTION:

Peer-reviewed human anatomical dissection studies reporting morphological continuity between the muscular constituents of the examined meridians were included. If no study demonstrating a structural connection between two muscles was found, papers on general anatomy of the corresponding body region were targeted.

DATA EXTRACTION:

A continuity between two muscles was only documented if two independent investigators agreed that it was reported clearly. Also, two independent investigators rated methodological quality of included studies by means of a validated assessment tool (QUACS).

DATA SYNTHESIS:

The literature search identified 6589 articles. Of these, 62 papers met the inclusion criteria. The studies reviewed suggest strong evidence for the existence of three myofascial meridians: the superficial back line (all three transitions verified, based on 14 studies), the back functional line (all three transitions verified, 8 studies) and the front functional line (both transitions verified, 6 studies). Moderate to strong evidence is available for parts of the spiral line (five of nine verified transitions, 21 studies) and the lateral line (two of five verified transitions, 10 studies). No evidence exists for the superficial front line (no verified transition, 7 studies).

CONCLUSIONS:

The present systematic review suggests that most skeletal muscles of the human body are directly linked by connective tissue. Examining the functional relevance of these myofascial chains is the most urgent task of future research. Strain transmission along meridians would both open a new frontier for the understanding of referred pain and provide a rationale for the development of more holistic treatment approaches.
