Western medicine does have its limitations and can be more focused on treating, rather than preventing. There are many who want to learn the natural way to promote health and treat conditions. We've lost so much knowledge over the years. What remains must be preserved and passed on.

We've started a great forum discussion on this. Please join in with your questions, experiences, and advice. Here's the link:
