Will the complementary medicines which practitioners currently use for their patients continue to be available after the new government regulations have become law?  This is an issue which many are wrestling with – and something which concerns users and dispensers alike, as we are all likely to be affected.

true-food-enlivens-body-and-soul

natural-fix-for-family-health-part-1

I believe that mothers are born natural healers. Intuition led us for millions of years to care for our young and look after their health. That’s why we are normally the first to notice when one of our family is off colour. I once had a relatively conscious GP – a rare breed in South Africa. He told me long ago: “The most important thing a medical student can learn in … [Read more...]
