Abstract		We present a journey through successful applications of mulrimethod approach to induction of decision trees in knowledge extraction, discovery of new knowledge and early diagnosis on the case of asthma, cardiovascular problems and mitral valve prolapse. The results show that the multimethod approach is a powerful and promising technique enahling the conformation of existing medical knowledge and more interestingly, also enables the induction of new facts and hypothesis, which can reveal some new interesting pattcrns and possibly improve the existing medical knowledge.
