This is browsing at its best. There are legal and legislative forums, calendars of upcoming events, and a marketplace where you can buy the latest book on alternative medicine or get a shipment of goldenseal. The Village is a clever concept meant to build a sense of community about alternative (as well as conventional) approaches to health care.....

HealthWorld Online is a philosophical and practical environment for self-managed care, as well as a visionary Web site. The providers believe that information makes for informed consumers and practitionters, and they want you to have all the information possible -- with a heavy accent on alternative practice.....this innovative network has enormous potential."
