The analysis was carried out by the Institute of Ecomedicine at the Paracelsus Medi- cal University Salzburg. 1.1 ARPAF project HEALPS HEALPS was a project funded by the Alpine Region Preparatory Action Fund (ARPAF) and built the base for the Alpine Space Project HEALPS2. Project Title: HEALPS - Alpine Health Tourism – Positioning the Alpine region as globally attractive health promoting place Project Partners: • Innovation and Technology Transfer Salzburg (AT, Lead) • Foundation Cluster Technologies For Living Environments (IT) • University of Applied Sciences Chur (CH) Funding: The project is co-financed by the European Union (Alpine Region Preparatory Action Funds - ARPAF) Start and closure dates: January 2018 to June 2019 Project Outline: Outdoor recreation in natural environments is becoming an important aspect of healthy living and a remedy against the deficiencies of urban life separated from na- ture. With its exceptional nature, cultural heritage, healthy climate and long tourism tradition, the Alpine region possesses significant prerequisites to benefit from this trend. However, to date there is no awareness of the unique health-promoting po- tential of the Alpine region. Major reasons for this lack of awareness are insufficient visibility and knowledge of health-promoting Alpine assets. In contrast to the current, fragmented approaches towards the promotion of Alpine assets, the project HEALPS aims to develop a common basis for the positioning of the Alpine region as an attractive health-promoting place through data compilation, page 3 of 126 Healing Alps: Tourism based on natural health resources as strategic innovation for the development of Alpine regions ASP815 generation and the visualisation of unique Alpine assets related to health. The project incorporates four different perspectives: Alpine resources, customers and providers as major stakeholders, education and technology. This approach addresses EUSALP’s strategy of a better utilisation of Alpine-specific resources and creates a basis for the development of Alpine health tourism value chains to drive job creation and growth in remote Alpine areas. In this way, it coun- teracts depopulation in these areas through new business opportunities and posi- tions the Alpine region as healing environment for tourists and as an attractive envi- ronment for working and residing. The project covers six work packages (see Figure 1) The present report summarizes the medical evidence regarding unique Alpine assets as a basis for evidence-based health tourism development that can be integrated in hands-on tools within the Alpine Space Project HEALPS2. Figure 1: HEALPS work packages page 4 of 126 Healing Alps: Tourism based on natural health resources as strategic innovation for the development of Alpine regions ASP815 1.2 Alpine Space Project HEALPS 2 Tourism is a major engine for job creation and a driving force for economic growth and development in the Alpine programme area. Yet alpine tourism is currently ex- periencing challenges such as climate change and is often only focussed on specific regions. Global trends such as a thirst for nature-based experiences and increased health consciousness hold considerable opportunities for developing innovative na- ture-based health tourism experiences. To fulfil this potential, the project will provide policy-makers, regional developers, Alpine regions and SMEs access to innovation knowledge and to implementation tools. Building on the ARPAF project HEALPS, the aim is to improve framework conditions for utilising Alpine natural health resources by developing health tourism products and service chains. Lessons learnt from existing innovative, but fragmented cases will be elevated to a transnational level. Supported by the combination of the latest re- search results with digital solutions, the nature-based health tourism approach will be tested in pilot regions and the experiences then translated into relevant tools for Alpine regional development. By engaging quadruple helix stakeholders, cross ferti- lisation between tourism, health and other relevant sectors and co-learning is stim- ulated at transnational level. This shared knowledge at various scales facilitates framework conditions for value generation based on location-bound Alpine assets. Recommendations for different policy levels as well as guidelines & implementation toolkits for product and service chain development reflect the purpose of a broad implementation of hands-on knowledge for the stimulation of SME- and destination driven innovation. Two international conferences on Alpine health tourism will allow transnational & transversal knowledge transfer from academia to regions and SMEs. Thus, the project contributes to the positioning of the Alpine Space as globally at- tractive health promoting place. HEALPS2 lasts from October 2019 to June 2022 and is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund through the Interreg Alpine Space programme (Total budget: 2.169.952,65€ - ERDF grant: 1.844.459,74€). page 5 of 126 Healing Alps: Tourism based on natural health resources as strategic innovation for the development of Alpine regions ASP815 2 Identification of Alpine natural health resources 20 Alpine health resources relevant for the development of Alpine health tourism were identified and are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2: Identified Alpine natural health resources page 6 of 126 Healing Alps: Tourism based on natural health resources as strategic innovation for the development of Alpine regions ASP815 3 Characterization of Alpine natural health Resources: Medical Evidence and Checklist for Health Tourism Development 3.1 Methodological Approach The 20 identified resources were characterized regarding their impact on human health and well-being using an indication-based approach. The research was con- ducted using the biomedical database PubMed (NCBI, 2019). A database was created and systematically analyzed using an indication-based approach (see Figure 3and Figure 4). Each identified Alpine resource was characterized regarding its potential health ef- fects based on available published data. The evidence level of each resource regard- ing specific indications was visualized by use of the Evidence Levels of the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR, see Table 1). In this way, also research gaps were identified.

  • Complementary and Alternative Medicine
    Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy Number: Original Effective Date: MM.12.013 01/01/2014 Line(s) of Business: Current Effective Date: HMO; PPO 11/17/2017 Section: Miscellaneous Place(s) of Service: Outpatient I. Description Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), also called non-traditional medicine, is a group of diverse medical and healthcare systems, practices and products that are not typically considered to be a part of traditional Western medicine (i.e., conventional medicine). This policy addresses services performed by CAM providers such as naturopaths, chiropractors and acupuncturists. Complementary medicine generally refers to using a non-traditional approach together with conventional medicine. Alternative medicine refers to using a non-traditional approach in place of conventional medicine. Various CAM assessments and therapies are supported by some degree of scientific evidence and are intended to reduce disease-based symptoms and to improve health outcomes. However, due to a lack of well-designed scientific studies and/or peer reviewed literature many CAM therapies have not been shown to improve health outcomes over conventional therapies. II. Criteria/Guidelines A CAM service or procedure is covered (subject to Limitations and Administrative Guidelines) when all of the following criteria are met: A. It meets the definition of medical necessity as specified in Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) Section 432: 1. It is for the purpose of treating a medical condition. 2. It is the most appropriate delivery or level of service, considering potential benefits and harms to the patient; 3. It is known to be effective in improving health outcomes; provided that: a. Effectiveness is determined first by scientific evidence; b.

Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences 2013; Vol2, Issue 37, September 16; Page: 7077-7083. ABSTRACT: Coined by Dr. John Scheel, Henry Lindlahr crediting him as “father of Naturopathy”, Naturopathy system of Medicine is a system of healing science stimulating the body’s inherent power to regain health with the help of five great elements of nature. Naturopathy provides not only a simple practical approach to the management of disease, but a firm theoretical basic which is applicable to all holistic medical care and by giving attention to the foundations of health; also offers a more economical frame work for the medicine of future generation. Naturopathy is an approach to healing using “natural” means such as diet and lifestyle. For treatment, it primarily stresses on correcting all the factors involved and allowing the body to recover itself. In dentistry, various modalities are available therefore, supporting dental treatment. For the same purpose, this paper is intended to have an overview of other dental treatment modalities available via i.e. Naturotherapy. KEYWORDS: Nature therapy, hydrotherapy, therapeutics. INTRODUCTION: Naturopathy system of Medicine is a system of healing science stimulating the body’s inherent power to regain health with the help of five great elements of nature- Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Ether.

  • Geometry and Reporting Quality, NMA for CAM Interventions
    Geometry and Reporting Quality, NMA for CAM Interventions September 1, 2016 Assessing topics, geometry and reporting quality of network meta-analyses involving CAM interventions (study protocol) 1. Introduction While traditional pairwise meta-analysis has long been a vital component of evidence based medicine, it is increasingly common for clinicians and decision-makers to need answers to research questions which require the comparison of more than two interventions. Traditional meta-analytic methods are not able to answer such questions because the corresponding statistical framework is limited to comparison of two treatments at a time. Network meta-analysis (NMA) is a widely used approach to derive comparisons of treatment effects between interventions that may not have been compared directly in head-to-head clinical trials, or for which both direct and indirect evidence is available for synthesis.1-3 It can be described as a generalization of pairwise meta-analysis which enables the use of both direct and indirect evidence, and its framework enables the combination of this evidence to compare many treatments in a unified analysis, as long as there exists sufficient randomized trials to link all of the interventions together. The Knowledge Synthesis Group at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI KSG) is a CIHR-funded center for the performance of network meta-analysis. Amongst our current projects, we are currently performing two network meta-analyses which involve Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) interventions: one
