March 18---MEN’S HEALTH ISSUES – HERBAL TREATMENT FOR COMMON GENITO-URINARY PROBLEMS, sponsored by HERBALIST & ALCHEMIST, INC.-Washington, NJ  - Teleconference as well as on-site
It seems that for many men, the old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies even more to their bodies and health.  Many men are especially reluctant to discuss "plumbing issues" with anyone. This is unfortunate because many common male genito-urinary problems can be prevented or effectively treated using herbs, diet and supplements. In this class we will discuss what therapies work for BPH, the four types of prostatis, orchitis, epididymitis and even common sense approaches to preventing prostate cancer.  Contact: Cathy Garland, Herbalist & Alchemist, Inc., 51 S.

May 6---MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS IN CLINICAL PRACTICE, sponsored by HERBALIST & ALCHEMIST, INC.-Washington, NJ  - Teleconference as well as on-site
In China and other Asian countries mushrooms are not only commonly used for food but also as medicines. Some Native American and European cultures also have used fungi for their medicinal qualities.  In the last 30 years research has confirmed that many of these fascinating life forms (they are not plants or animals) have powerful therapeutic effects for both preventing and treating many diseases.  In this class we will discuss the most active and useful medicines in the fungi pharmacopoeia and what are the best ways to use them to achieve maximum efficacy.

These days you cannot miss TV ads for pharmaceuticals: "It's a little embarrassing but... not up for the occasion”?
