About Arond-Thomas Online and James Arond-Thomas, MD

Our understanding of health and illness is changing daily. It's time to change the way you create your healthcare.

In a world that becomes more complex and has more choices for us every day, you need to partner with your doctors to actively create the future you want for yourself.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We work in partnership with our clients and patients, relating to them as whole persons with potent inner healing mechanisms. In order to support your healing into wholeness, we believe that you are entitled to create a healing program that addresses your individual and unique strengths and needs. There are many pieces to the puzzle to put into place. Therefore, we offer you the guidance and support to blend and choose from the very best interventions available, incorporating both traditional and non-traditional treatments. When you work with us, you will learn how to impact your mental, emotional and spiritual well-being and how that can affect the course of your illness.

We encourage and promote you to become an active co-creative participant in your healing process rather than simply a passive recipient of care. This approach allows you to optimize your cancer treatment, giving you the best chance of reversing the cancer growth, improving your quality of life and preventing a cancer recurrence.

Wholeness and healing are based on restoring balance to the essential aspects of life, which include not only the physical body, but also the mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of your being.

Through your work with us, you can reclaim, restore and redirect your vital energy and integrity. If you do this, you will transform your capacity to live the life that is naturally yours, a true prescription for health.

 Meet the Doctors
 Who work with patients at The Center for Contemporary Medicine
James A. Arond-Thomas, M.D.

James A. Arond-Thomas, M.D. received a Masters of Science degree in Autonomic Psycho-Pharmacology and an M.D. from Ohio State University in 1970, and completed an internship in Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychiatry at Bellevue Hospital and the New York University Medical Center in 1971.

From 1971 - 1974, he served as a Research Associate at the National Institutes of Mental Health, studying the molecular biology of the autonomic nervous system in clinical illnesses. Moving to Detroit in 1974, he completed a medical residency at Harper Hospital in 1976, and taught autonomic-pharmacology at Wayne State University School of Medicine for the next 8 years.

In 1982, he founded the Center for Contemporary Medicine. He remains today the Director of the Center for Contemporary Medicine, an integrative and complementary, behavioral oncology practice. During a 17-year period of clinical practice and research in both Detroit and Ann Arbor, he has developed a multi-dimensional, 5-bodied model of illness.

This novel paradigm reflects a multi-dimensional continuum from pathology on one end, to high-level wellness on the other. It is this multi-dimensional paradigm which he has applied since 1990 in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer, especially breast cancer.

Since 1996, working with his new wife and partner, Manya Arond-Thomas, M.D., an organizational consultant and healer-physician, the Arond-Thomas team has continued to refine, expand, and apply the five-bodied paradigm of whole-person health and wellness with individuals and within organizations.
