Dear colleagues,

5th European
Congress for
Integrative
Medicine(ECIM 2012)
The Futureof Comprehensive
Patient Care.
Promoting healthand developing
integrated andsustainable
treatment for
acute andchronic diseases

Welcome to Florence to attend the 5th European Congressfor Integrative Medicine “The Future of Comprehensive Patient Care. Promoting health and developing integrated andsustainable treatment for acute and chronic disease”.
For the first time, the European Congress for Integrative
Medicine is taking place outside of Germany, as previous
congresses have been hosted in Berlin. The Florentine venue was chosen not by chance but considering the role that
the Tuscany Region has played for many years in the integration of complementary medicine (CM) into the regional
healthcare system. These medicines have been fully included in the public health system of Tuscany through a process based on the principles of therapeutic freedom of choice, universalism, appropriateness, quality and sustainabilityof the cure.
The central topics of the Congress are the efficacy of complementary medicines and practices, their integration withorthodox medicine and the future development of integrative medicine. One of the aims of ECIM 2012 is the creationof a network between the researchers and medical doctors,
and both of the official and complementary medicine, tostimulate the scientific exchange and constructive dialogue
and promote the actual integration of the different branches of the medicine.
Therefore, this Congress offers an important opportunity toapproach this decisive challenge for the future of the integrative medicine. Experts and authorities of the integrative and mainstream medicine will address the topics of great clinical relevance such as integrative oncology, acute andchronic pain, mental disorders, atopic and allergic diseases,
gender medicine, paediatrics, and the research updating.
In the conference program other subjects of great interest
are included such as the integration of complementary medicine in the healthcare systems in Italy, Europe and the Mediterranean area, the European regulation for herbal andhomeopathic drugs and the application of this regulation in
Italy, the research in complementary medicine. For the firsttime, also the innovative topics of PsycoNeuroEndocrineImmunology, integrative veterinary and wellness techniques/
practices are included. In line with the work developed in

the Tuscany Region a special attention is also given to theissue of the adverse reactions and patients’ safety in complementary medicine.
Furthermore, ECIM 2012 hosts the XXVI G.I.R.I. Congress(International Research Group on Very Low Dose and High
Dilution Effects) about the biological effects of very low
dose and ultra-diluted substances and many other workshops of national and international societies on topicalthemes such as the menopause and integrative medicine (SIGiTe), the techniques of TCM, hormesis, abdominal
acupuncture and TCM in the treatment of obesity, use of
Viscum album in integrative oncology, dance therapy, music
therapy and Beljanski method.
This scientific event has the aim to develop the basis of aplatform on the main guidelines of the clinic and research for the future, the possible models of integration anddevelopment for complementary medicine in a European
and international perspective. It is undoubtedly an ambitious project considering the differences in the field of complementary medicine and the difficulties in the communication and dialogue with the mainstream medicine, that every
day become less important but still exist.
Nevertheless, we firmly believe that this aim should be constantly pursued to achieve the therapeutic ideal of medical
humanization in everyday clinical practice.

Integrata “Il futuro dell’assistenza globale del paziente. Promuovere la salute e lo sviluppo di un trattamento integratoe sostenibile del paziente acuto e cronico”.
Per la prima volta il Congresso Europeo di Medicina Integrata si tiene in un paese diverso dalla Germania, che ha ospitato le precedenti edizioni. La scelta di questa sede non è
casuale visto il ruolo che la Regione Toscana svolge ormai daanni per l’integrazione delle medicine complementari nelle
strutture del sistema sanitario pubblico di cui sono diventate parte integrante, grazie a un percorso che ha coniugato i
principi di libertà di scelta terapeutica, universalità, con l’appropriatezza, la qualità e sostenibilità economica delle cure.
I temi centrali del Congresso sono l’efficacia delle medicine
e delle pratiche complementari, la loro integrazione con la
medicina ufficiale, le prospettive future della medicina integrata. Fra i suoi obiettivi la creazione di una rete operativa
fra i ricercatori e i clinici della medicina complementare e diquella ufficiale che promuova il dialogo e il confronto costruttivo e una reale integrazione fra le diverse branche della medicina.
Questo convegno è dunque un’occasione importante peraffrontare un passaggio fondamentale per la medicina integrata e decisivo per il suo futuro. Con il contributo di autorevoli rappresentanti della medicina integrata e di quella ufficiale, si dibattono temi di grande rilievo clinico comel’oncologia integrata, il dolore acuto e cronico, i disturbidella sfera mentale, le patologie atopiche e allergiche, la
medicina di genere, la pediatria, l’aggiornamento della ricerca. Sono trattati argomenti di attualità quali le esperienze di integrazione delle medicine complementari nei sistemi sanitari pubblici in Italia, Europa e area mediterranea, lanormativa europea sui medicinali omeopatici e fitoterapici
e l‘applicazione in Italia, la ricerca in medicina complementare. Per la prima volta si dà spazio a temi innovativi quali laPsiconeuroimmunoendocrinologia, la veterinaria integrata ele tecniche del benessere. In continuità con il lavoro svolto
dalla Rete Toscana di Medicina Integrata, si presta attenzione anche al tema degli eventi avversi in medicina complementare e della sicurezza del paziente. Si terranno semi-nari di Società scientifiche nazionali e internazionali, comeil 26° Congresso del GIRI (Gruppo internazionale di ricerca sulle sostanze infinitesimali), un seminario sull’ormesi,
il workshop della SiGiTe (Società italiana Ginecologia della terza età) su menopausa e medicina integrata, e altri sulle tecniche di medicina tradizionale cinese, sull’agopuntura
addominale e sul trattamento dell’obesità con agopuntura,sull’impiego del Visco in oncologia integrata, sulla danza terapia, musicoterapia e il metodo Beljanski.
Questo evento scientifico ha una proiezione europea e si
pone l’ambizioso obiettivo di definire una piattaforma continentale sulle principali linee guida della clinica e della ricerca nel prossimo futuro, gli orientamenti sui possibili modellidi integrazione e sullo sviluppo per le medicine complementari.
Un obiettivo ambizioso certamente, visto anche le diverse
componenti che animano il settore della medicina complementare e le difficoltà - ormai in fase di superamento ma
che ancora persistono - di comunicazione e scambio con la
medicina ufficiale, ma che ciò nonostante deve essere perseguito con costanza per arrivare a realizzare, nel concretodella pratica clinica quotidiana, l’ideale terapeutico dell’umanizzazione della medicina.
