"A virtual health village where you can access information, products, and services to help create your wellness-based lifestyle."

HealthWorld Online believes individuals should be major players in their own health care, and that integrative medicine - the blending of the best of alternative and conventional medicine can help achieve wellness and health. Unlike most other Complementary and Alternative Medicine sites, HealthWorld Online lists conventional and alternative therapies for common health conditions side by side for easy comparison. Much of the content for the site comes from book excerpts, articles and other Web sites. Additional resources include provider directories, expert columns, and news centers.
