I am a firm believer in herbal medicines, and it's wonderful that this woman feels this way...However, her approach to this topic ie.(the hippie look, the "happy faces" on the flowers etc...) is EXACTLY the reason herbal medicine is not taken seriously. I have no problem with this woman (her fashion style, demeanor or obvious knowledge) But to be taken seriously (especially in the medical field) she needs to speak and appear, not as a 60's refugee, but as an intelligent, legitimate authority

[wisewomantradition]

actually herbal medicine IS taken seriously. A third of Americans use herbal medicines on a regular basis and the US government has spent more than $22 million to help medical and nursing schools start teaching about alternative medicine. Many more positive statistics for those interested to do the research.

I think this person means taken more seriously then traditional medicine. the Big battle.

What do you feel about the Natural cures they don't want you to know about?

[wisewomantradition]

@11harrison11 So, you are o.k. with the licensed physicians who dispense their 'drugs' to everyone and these same drugs mame and kill? The plants were given by the Creator. The drugs that are used by the 'accepted' community are 'synthetic'. You need to do more research about what came 'first' and it was not the drugs that you see as medicine today from the AMA

[NoMorCinn]

A great many pass judgment without considering what is being said - they let a person's appearance color their vision. Whether she is dressed as a hippie, yippee or business woman - listen to what is being said. She is saying to be more self reliant in one's pursuit of their health. Use what is at hand, don't just run to the doctor, ER or drugstore for a remedy.

[MyMentalistmind]

This is a beautiful woman inside and out. She doesn't care what people think of how she looks, she knows she is healthy and self reliant. I wish more people were like her to teach others about herbal medicine! It would be an honor and a privilege to learn from this woman!

thank you Susan. so glad, i just found you on here. i have some of your books, and am so excited to see you. i have been using herbs for various things for years and have not needed doctors at all. it is wonderful to know that you can aid your body in the healing process if you know a little about natural herbal remedies. so hard for many people to believe that something natural and cheap or free can really do the trick, and without awful side effects.
