Course Description:

Over a century of naturopathic medicine left a robust legacy of people, events and literature. This abundant, historical tapestry of heroic clinical accomplishments was nothing short of miraculous. In the publications of Benedict Lust and his colleagues, we discover highly relevant clinical herbal pearls which recount the heroic measures that naturopathic doctors undertook when faced with life threatening diseases before the era of big pharma and hi-tech biomedicine. This legacy will surprise and empower modern naturopathic doctors.In this rich literature of our elders, we re-discover miraculous clinical outcomes which are surprisingly current, appropriate and available. The unique archival materials in the rare books collection atNational University of Natural Medicine reveal these and many other pearls and treasures for the modern naturopathic doctor to rediscover, invaluable for doctors today. We will dust off the case reports and examine numerous protocols that have stood the test of time.
