Greeting .........................................................................................................................................4CO’MED ist eine feste Größe unter den complementär-medizinischen Fachverlagen. Als Plattformfür Ärzte für Naturheilverfahren, ganzheitlich orientierte Zahnärzte und Heilpraktiker informiert
CO’MED seit mehr als 13 Jahren regelmäßig überdie aktuellsten Entwicklungen in der Complementär-Medizin.
Für das Konzept einer Integrativen Medizin tritt das
CO’MED Fachmagazin als Mittler zwischen so genannter Schulmedizin und Complementär-Medizin
ein. Neben seiner modernen äußeren Gestaltung
ist CO´MED vor allem mit seiner thematischen Ausrichtung in dieser komplexen Medienlandschaft
einzigartig. Dabei kommt der Tatsache, dassCO’MED offizielles Mitteilungsorgan für verschiedene große Verbände und Organisationen ist, besondere Bedeutung zu.
Die dadurch über Jahre geknüpften Verbindungen, das entstandene Netzwerk und viele
Kundengespräche haben uns dazu veranlasst, ein neues Print-Produkt zu entwickeln, dasden Praxisalltag vereinfacht und das Gebiet der Complementär-Medizin umfassend widerspiegelt.
Das CO´MED Compendium ist als Nachschlagewerk
ein besonderer Service für alle in der Complementär-Medizin Tätigen.
Hersteller von Präparaten, Medizintechnik, Praxis- und Bürobedarf, Praxismanagement und
Beratung, Kur- und Spezialkliniken und vieles mehr sind im Adressverzeichnis nach Rubriken geordnet. Im Terminkalender sind Tagungen, Messen sowie Angebote der Aus- undWeiterbildung in einer halbjährlichen Gesamtschau so dargestellt, dass die Jahresplanung
für die Therapeuten vereinfacht wird.

Greeting

Cooperating Societies
Welcome to the 1st European
Congress for Integrative Medicine

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kardiologie –Herz- und Kreislaufforschung e.V.

Deutsche Gesellschaft
für Schmerztherapie e.V.

Dear colleagues,
Dear congress participants,
On behalf of the Institute for Social Medicine, Epidemiology and Health
Economics at the Charité University Medical Center in Berlin, I would liketo welcome you to the 1st European Congress and at the same time the 1stGerman Congress for Integrative Medicine.
Integrative Medicine is to be understood as a bridge between conventional Western medicine andcomplementary medical procedures (e.g. naturopathy, acupuncture, homeopathy) with the aim ofoffering the patient the best possible medical care and quality of life. Therefore, the theme of the
1st European Congress for Integrative Medicine is `The Future of Comprehensive Patient Care´.
The objective is to discuss interfaces in Integrative Medicine, to develop synergies, and to exploit
opportunities.
Leading physicians such as Prof. Gustav Dobos, Prof. Eckhart G. Hahn, Prof. George Lewith andProf. Umberto Solimene present their opinions on the combination of conventional andcomplementary medicine at the Hotel Aquino, Tagungszentrum Katholische Akademie near CharitéCampus Mitte. Apart from plenary sessions on the present and future of comprehensive patientcare, and prospects of Integrative Medicine in the light of health-care policies, the program offers several parallel sessions focusing on cancer, chronic pain syndromes, atopies, cardiovasculardiseases, gastro-intestinal diseases as well as methodology issues. Satellite symposia held by thecooperating medical societies, industry symposia and workshops on some complementary medical
procedures will round out the program.
An `Open Information Day´ held on November 9 will give all interested members of the generalpublic an opportunity to meet and question further experts.
I would like to invite you to use the possibilities this innovative congress has to offer and would
be very pleased if you took the opportunity to participate in an interesting exchange, to gain new
insights, and to shape future patient care together.
I would like to wish all of you successful, amicable, and inspiring days in Berlin.

Blue Man Group, 9:00 p.m.

With/Out Tutu (Ballet), 8:00 p.m.

The BLUE MAN GROUP is well-known as a creative team of artists
whose highly praised theatre productions and multi-media performances are described by critics as `funny´, `creating a stunning visual
impact´, and `great music´. The three bald-headed `Blue Men´ taketheir audience on an entertaining, comic, exciting trip offering uniquemusic. Spectators from all over the world have become fans of theBLUE MAN GROUP‘S shows performed in Chicago, Las Vegas, London
and Toronto. The BLUE MAN GROUP is also known for their extraordinary style of music and their self designed instruments.

That the ballet has long since broken out of its tight corset of tradition is a well-known fact. However, it is sill amazing to see howcontemporary choreographers with a classical background conquer
new territory. Vladimir Malakhov was able to win over the U.S. choreographer Jodie Gates for this modern three-part ballet. From hisclassical background, Clark Tippet, formerly principal dancer of theAmerican Ballet Theatre, has also created a series of choreographiesthat are still part of today‘s repertoire. His most popular piece `Max
Bruch Violin Concert´ will be performed for the ﬁrst time in Berlin.
William Forsythe will be Germany‘s most popular choreographer ofthe evening. With `The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude´, created in
1996, he examines the appeal of the neo-classical style.
