Herbal and Natural Supplement Consulting
I began studying herbal medicine in 1991 and working professionally in herb research and education in 1997, authoring evidence-based databases for medical professionals, which provide information on safety, efficacy, dosage, side effects and drug interactions of herbal medicines and natural supplements. I raised my children using natural medicine. As a Harvard trained virologist, I am particularly interested in botanical medicines for viral infections.
Healthcare Reform
My interests include reforming America's healthcare system to be a free and universal healthcare which makes better use of preventative medicine, integrates alternative and complementary therapies, promotes home health visits, and allows for the freedom of informed choice.

“ I work in a large, complex, academic health system and my previous position was at a health plan. At the expense of the patient, too much emphasis is placed on cost control and financial health of the corporation. Spread the word about integrative medicine - I believe that this approach is the basis for keeping our population healthy.
