Among other things, the list is intended to focus on interesting cases, practical clinical pearls, recent publications, useful anecdotes, relevant news developments, etc. While the orientation is intended to emphasize natural/alternative/complementary/holistic therapeutics this is not intended to exclude conventional approaches. Discussion of any topic relevant to clinical practice is encouraged, and is limited only by the energy and creativity of those participating. Fundamentally, the operative attitude needs to be one of mutual respect with a sincere recognition that we all have unique experiences, different perspectives and valid insights and that no one has all the answers. Likewise, we can serve our patients best and advance the evolution of the healing arts and medical science best by working together, sharing ideas, and being willing to learn. If you have any questions or problems, please contact the list administrator, Mitchell Bebel Stargrove, N.D., L.Ac., <[log in to unmask]>.
