Herbs and Supplements Safely

Just prior to the turn of this past century, herbs were enjoying some very positive press. When I wrote this article, a period of favorable coverage on herbs and natural healing in the press had just ended.  The media praise botanical medicines enjoyed in the late 1990s turned negative again.

When Does a Supplement Stop Being Natural?

Just prior to the turn of this past century, herbs were enjoying some very positive press. When I wrote this article, a period of favorable coverage of herbs and natural healing in the press had just ended.  The media praise botanical medicines enjoyed in the late 1990s turned negative again.  This is a revision of an article I wrote several years ago on the safety of herbs and supplements.  I think the information is still useful, especially since we continue to encounter some very negative publicity from time to time.  The article is several pages long, so be sure to look through all of it.

Chronic Pain Relief

Chronic Pain Relief:

A Tribute to Dr. C. Samuel West

In my Fundamentals of Natural Healing course I talk a lot about reversing the pain of injuries by using techniques like pressure, massage and rapid-light stroking. However, as I've been working on a generic book on the same topic, I remembered that I'd left out something very important.

When I remembered the experience I had with my knee, I realized that it was quite a remarkable story, one that dramatically demonstrates the value of these techniques. So, I'd like to share it with you.
