Natural Standard Herbal Pharmacotherapy: An Evidence-Based Approach is now available for purchase. The book provides practical guidance on the use of herbal therapies for medical conditions. This reference tool will be an essential part of herbal pharmacy core curricula for all healthcare disciplines. Chapters are organized by medical condition and present supportive evidence, including potential mechanisms of action and dosing, for selected herbal therapies. The chapters also include integrative therapy plans to help clinicians quickly assess patient needs and create cohesive treatment plans. In addition, adjunct therapies, including herbs, supplements and modalities, that are commonly used in combination with primary treatments are discussed. Case studies, which summarize efficacy, safety, dosing and interactions for high-utilization products, help prepare healthcare providers for patient counseling in clinical practice. Review questions, similar to those on national board exams, allow readers to evaluate their learning and identify areas for further study. The book also includes several appendices, which provide information about lab values as well as the safety, interactions and pharmacokinetics of select herbs.

DAFLON 500 mg can be combined with any therapeutic agent; in fact no drug interactions have been reported. This point is very important, considering that patients can suffer concomitant diseases and may require other therapies. Even more, on long-term treatment compared with placebo, no evidence was found of any statistically significant variation in laboratory parameters, such as red cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, liver function (SGPT, SGOT), or other blood parameters

Participatory medicine will owe part of its success to the technologies that have the potential to remove treatment, symptom management, administrative, and communications burdens from individuals and clinicians while maintaining the critical interpersonal interactions between them. Out of the steady stream of new devices, programs, gadgets, and applications, which will make a difference in the health and lives of patients? We hope to build the Journal as a resource for critical reviews of technologies that support and facilitate participatory medicine. We realize it will be no small undertaking to put together a process that will allow for the review of a substantial number of technologies over time, reflecting the experience of different types of users.

Patient Centered Learning: The solution is to permit alternatives to rigid institutions, utilize free internet programs, and have medical students assist practicing physicians by assisting practicing physicians in taking patient histories. These students would offer valuable, free services to doctors. At the same time, they would have a vivid learning experience by spending several hours each day interacting with actual patients. The Cost Of Medical Education Would Be Negligible. The expense of healthcare is directly proportional to the cost of the doctor's education. With the institutional bottleneck gone, there would be a greater number of doctors, and the cost of healthcare would plummet.
