Prof. Dr. Zmago Turk is the retired Head of the Institute for Physical Medicine and Professor Emeritus of the University of Maribor. He remains the head of the Department for Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine in the University of Maribor, where he gives lectures in several subjects (rehabilitation, medicine and sport, gerontology) and is involved in many study programs of Faculty of Medical Care and the Faculty of Education. His academic opus exceeds a thousand publications. As a specialist of physical medicine and rheumatology he has always searched for new approaches in rehabilitation and relieving pain with the methods of physical medicine. He first learned acupuncture and traditional medicine methods in Beijing. Later he added manual medicine in Prague. Together with chief physician Dr. Barovič he founded the so called Maribor School of Magnotherapy, where he met Vili Poznik from Celje and became enthused with his ideas about alternative methods of diagnostics and healing. The research team led by himself and Prof. Dr. Fisher from the Faculty of Medicine in Graz started its path with the research of Vili Poznik’s findings and ideas. They researched and published scientific articles in domestic and foreign journals and taken part in expositions at home and abroad. They introduced Poznik’s ideas to medical professionals who were often skeptical. They figured that alternative and complementary methods should be accepted into critical use and verify the positive and potential harmful effects of some other methods. Vili Poznik always accepted criticism with respect and sought new collaborators from others fields like chemists, physicists, biologists and other experts who helped his team on specific projects. Especially interesting were his ideas about informed water and the changes of cell structure and membrane under the influence of bio information. We are talking about elementary research that could potentially influence both the development of diseases and treating diseases themselves. His door was always open to all colleagues who came with good intentions. The idea about forming the Society for Integrative Medicine of Slovenia was formed here. Prof. Turk became the president and a member of the European Board for Integrative Medicine at the Charitee clinic in Berlin. The Society seeks to found a medical Association with a professional leadership that could be a link to the government and medical societies. Healers should be responsible for their procedures so it is imperative that professional control is established and misuses that harm patient are prevented. Vili Poznik and his team are actively taking part in the establishment of this Association. Prof. Turk is a member of the European Academy of Science and Art in Salzburg where he is introducing Vili Poznik’s ideas with professional caution, because Vili’s visionary and environmental beliefs are far ahead of its time.
