Training in integrative medicine
"Medicine of Possibilities, the Tree of Life": training that bridges the gap between all forms of medicine
The free Academy of Integrative Medicine (ACALMI), based in Geneva, Switzerland, has launched its 10-weekend course to understand what Integrative Medicine really is. This course, which is aimed primarily at doctors and healthcare professionals, gives the keys to understanding the different mechanisms of alternative medicines and how they can be combined with conventional allopathic medicine.
"Medicine is so complex and so vast when all the knowledge of all the peoples of the world and in the history of time is brought together, that it takes a great deal of time, experience and open-mindedness to arrive at a synthesis that can be used to treat humanity today.
Dr Beatrice Milbert
This knowledge is now available to anyone who wants it, and it is my vocation, and that of those I have gathered around me, to pass on, at the start of the third millennium, the new keys to knowledge in the service of health and prevention, with real predictive and personalised potential, and with a real desire for participation at all levels. These are the foundations of integrative medicine!"
Dr Béatrice Milbert

The book that heals
by Dr Beatrice Milbert and Lucie Hubert
This practical book is the unique testimony of Professor Yvette Parès, an internationally renowned scientist and the first person in the world to cultivate the leprosy bacillus. Faced with the limitations of Western therapies for treating this disease, she discovered the potential of traditional African medicine. After thirty years of medical experience in Senegal, she decided in 1996, upon her return to Europe, to write a therapeutic book based on the use of European medicinal plants. In it, she shares all her formulas for treating everyday ailments as well as more serious illnesses, compiling fact sheets on them and their various symptoms.
