Upcoming Local Health Event: Getting Well through Food and Nutrition

The International College of Integrative Medicine (ICIM) is holding a conference this October 1-5 at the Sheraton Hotel at Station Square.

ICIM is an organization based out of Northwest, OH that acts as a reference for patients looking for complimentary medicine and also as a community for Alternative Health Providers to learn from each other.

Their conference this year fits right in with Pathways to SmartCare and Farm to Table: "Getting Well with Food and Nutrition". There will be a lead-in seminar on metal toxicity and its impact on human health. For a full list of presentations and a summary of learning objectives, download this handy little sheet.

Go to the conference web site to get more information or register.

Wendy Chappell, executive director of ICIM, let me know that you can register for one or all days of the event. If you attend for less than a 24 hour period, your registration is half price! This is great for area practitioners who can try to get out of the office for a few hours one day.

The ICIM also has some great tools on their web site. Go to their "Find a Practitioner" page and enter your zip code to see all of the providers within your area. These practitioners are credentialed integrative medicine providers that must apply to be listed on the site.

They also have a wealth of information in the form of articles, a library, multimedia presentations, classified ads and a marketplace. It is a very comprehensive resource for those who would like to use complementary medicine to treat their chronic illness.
