International conference
In September 2008, the 4th International conference on Holistic Health
and Medicine is taking place in Lexington, Kentucky, USA. The theme of
the conference is "The right medicine: Holistic health and biomedicine".
This 4th international conference will bring together mainstream health
care providers as well as holistic health practitioners to address the
latest in knowledge and research. This in turn to find ways to
collaborate and work together in order to provide the best possible care
of our patients and clients. We believe in building bridges between the
various
fractions of medicine and health care providers. Learn more
here.
Ethical guidelines
On the latest assembly of the ISHH, the society decided on a set of
ethical guidelines.
The guidelines are built
in the vision and aim of the ISHH, which is to promote holistic health
awareness among health care providers, organisations and the general
public and to foster and stimulate the highest quality of health care
provision in all communities. Here you can see
our ethical guidelines.
Next assembly
The next assembly meeting of the International Society for Holistic
Health will take place in immediate continuation of the 4th Internation
Conference on Holistic Health and Medicine on September 26th i Lexington,
Kentucky. Read the summary of former assembly meeting

Journal
Through the good offices of Søren Ventegodt
and Joav Merrick an official journal was established in 2006. TSW-Holistic
Health and Medicine (http://www.thescientificworld.com/SCIENTIFICWORLDJOURNAL/main/home.asp?jid=295#.)
is an on-line journal published by the ScientificWorldJournal and
started due to a grant secured by Søren Ventegodt. In order for the
journal to survive we need more subscriptions and more authors willing
to pay for free access. We hope that by 2007 that TSW-HHM will be
integrated into the main journal but stay an indepent virtual journal on
the website. By getting back into the main journal we will be able to
have PubMed indexing and impact factor in 2008. This was arranged in
2007 through the support of Daniel Shek from Hong Kong, who funded that
all 2006 published papers were re-published as ScientificWoldJournal
papers with indexing in Medline.
