The
Alternative & Integrative Medical Society invited WCHS to participate
in the AIMS Fourth Annual Conference at UBC on Saturday, March 22.
The conference was well attended by over 200 people whose interests were
either to pursue a course of study in holistic medicine and alternative
modalities or to increase their awareness and knowledge of alternative
modes of health care.

Longtime WCHS member Neil Tessler represented the Society by speaking on
“Homeopathy: Frontier in Mind/Body Medicine”. We all were
pleased that so many conference participants chose to hear the lecture on
homeopathy over several other presentations. The room was
overflowing with 40 to 50 attendees and they clearly were not
disappointed.

 During the conference, our table
displayed an array of information on homeopathy, including a selection of
books, remedies, homeopathic school literature, and WCHS brochures and our
Directory. Afterwards, we were praised by the AIMS coordinator for
having the best display at the conference.

WCHS members enthusiastically hosted our
table, distributed information materials, and explained homeopathy to many
interested attendees. Many thanks to Christopher Gehry, Canteris
Hartley, Sylvie Jensen, Jenni Sweder, Jo Twiss, Jeanne Uwynn. Special thanks to Judy Chorney who organized the roster and prepared the
display materials for the table. All your participation was much
appreciated, going a long way to make WCHS involvement with the conference
a resounding success.
