In
2006, I began publishing, on or near the winter solstice, an annual
Integrator Top
10 list for the emerging field of integrative health and medicine.
Together these chronicle nine years of policy and action in this popular
movement.
Here is the Coming of the Light Integrator Top 10 for Policy and Action
in Integrative Health and Medicine for 2014 noting the work of the
Joint Commission, the VA, the massage field, the (shocking) emergence of
health as a theme in medicine, a US Senator named Thad Cochran (get
used to him), a project on the economics of care, plus more. (This column was first published here in the Huffington Post, with now over 850 likes and 250 FB pushes.

This new monthly Integrator feature is now
developed in partnership with the web presence of the peer-reviewed and
indexed Global Advances in Health and Medicine. It represents a quick
capture of highlights
from a multitude of sources relative to dynamic developments globally in
alternative and integrative heath due to such factors as the World
Health Organization's past and recent traditional Medicine Strategy,
economics, expanding globalization and the uptake of integrative
medicine and health models. Here are 21 selections from India, Turkey,
Qatar, Pakistan, Malaysia, England, Australia, Russia and elsewhere for
December 2014.

This

from the multitude of stories that flow in daily from various sources relative to
"integrative medicine," "complementary and alternative
medicine" and "alternative medicine." Once a month I cull through and make some selections. Recently the field's cup
seems to be running over. This is in
part due to my use of a broader inclusion net for what I am selections. Here are 15 selections
related to hospitals and medical organizations and integrative medicine, 13 from
alternative and integrative medicine in community non-system practices and
media for December 2014. (Note that: Global News Links are now separately posted.)

This
typically monthly Integrator
feature
is a quick capture of highlights from the multitude of links that flow in daily
via Google Alerts for "integrative medicine," "complementary and alternative medicine" and "alternative medicine." Recently the
field's cup seems to be running over. Tremendous level of news and developments.
This is in part due to my use of a broader inclusion net for what I am
selecting. At the same time, the activity level suggests that those who believe
the movement is headed toward a "tipping point" may have something.
Here are 15 selections related to hospitals and medical organizations and
integrative medicine, 10 from alternative and integrative medicine in community
non-system practices and media, and 21 developments from around the world for November 2014.

[This article was first published here at the Huffington Post.] A Nov. 12, 2014 announcement from the principal accrediting agency for
health care organizations could significantly impact access to
integrative pain care throughout the United States. The agency is the Joint Commission. The revised accreditation standard
will apply to all the institutions under the agency's guidance and
review: hospitals, ambulatory care facilities, home health and senior
homes. The focus of the change is great news for integrative
health and medicine. The Joint Commission significantly elevated the
potential value of "non-pharmacologic" approaches. Among those options
directly called out are, in the terms used by the Joint Commission,
acupuncture therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic therapy, osteopathic
manipulative treatment, physical therapy, and relaxation therapy. The action was prompted by an
integrative team led by Arya Nielsen, PhD, Ac.
