Hi Amy, I think it means both, and more. My understanding is that there are various levels of prevention, ranging from the conventional medical approach which...
I feel that one of the best ways to practice Preventire is to encourage a connection to spirit...to help others find joy and peace....this would address a...

Jared, I just have to say that what you wrote was absolutely perfect! Thank you for a great view, I agree wholeheartedly. Laura Schissell, ND, DC Vancouver,...
Hello, Jared, I think we are saying the exact same things. Your experience of having a faculty discussion representative tell you we should use MORE drugs is...
Dear Mona, I agree. As I said, I would prefer to be permitted to prescribe anything and everything. It all has a place and a circumstance when it may be...
