Dicken Weatherby, ND and Donald R. Yance, CN, MH, RH Pain is one of the most common and dreaded symptoms associated with cancer. Botanical and nutritional intervention can provide enormous benefits for controlling cancer pain while at the same time inhibiting the...
David Schleich, PhD In the past two columns we have looked at Institutional Research (IR) models that presume the use of credible data which, in turn is invaluable in strategic planning, both short and long term. Our understanding of data types is key to the design...
Rick Liva RPh, ND The reality of this industry is that some commonly used botanical extracts and other raw materials used to make natural products have high residual levels of potentially harmful toxic chemicals. Most of us don't realize that these chemicals may exist...
