I have been studying and practising and teaching natural therapy now for nearly forty years. I have diplomas in Herbal Medicine, Naturopathy, Acupuncture, and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Clinical (Orthomolecular) Nutrition which is the new study of vitamins, minerals and foods as medicine. And an Arts degree, majoring in Philosophy.

In the courses I teach in person and through correspondence courses all over Australia and to other countries, I try to give people an over-view of what can be done with these branches of Natural Therapy and where they are particularly valuable today. I also try to give them the knowledge and enthusiasm that they need to immediately treat themselves for minor ills.

Basically I would like you to come out of reading this feeling that you can use herbs and/or vitamins and minerals for all your minor health problems from now on. That you want to grow a few herbs, or that you want to find out more.
