The Herbal Advisor began as my radio program on World Radio Geneva in Switzerland for Ex-Pats and English speakers. The stories, the patients, the recommendations I made for countless concerns, became the foundation for Conscious Body Natural Medicine, a natural medicine practice of certified herbals, homeopathy and therapy. Since the start of this practice almost 40 years ago, thousands of clients with hundreds of different symptoms, illnesses and conditions have walked through my door seeking relief and resolution.

So it took quite a bit of time because it also involved a lot of questions and a lot of talking. That doesn't seem to be the definition of a physical now.
Read MoreI want to remind you about dosing. In order to get any recipe right, my grandfather always said (my grandmother hated cooking) that he had to follow the amounts exactly for the end result to be perfect. Too much brandy in the stuffing was one thing, but not enough baking soda was deadly!
Read MoreThe development of the idea of removing the gall bladder, the tonsils, the appendix and even the spleen was most likely as a result of on the spot necessity.
