Dear Colleague,
In this issue we talk to two medical practitioners who are committed to the integrated approach.  Dr Jeremy Geffen is a renowned oncologist who ran his own cancer centre for ten years.  He now writes, lectures and describes how his Seven Levels of Healing can be applied by individuals and doctors. 
Dr Catherine Zollman has just become the first UK-based Bravewell Fellow at the University of Arizona.  For the next two years she will be expanding her knowledge of integrated medicine alongside running her busy East Bristol GP practice. 
In the last month, the results of a clinical trial on Alexander Technique for back pain have been published.  Alexander Technique teacher Kathleen Ballard describes the process of initiating a clinical trial on a complementary approach to health.
