My daughter has been taking her herbalist certificate training at an accredited college recognized by both the BC and Federal government of Canada instead of from the college I got my training through and the main herbology textbook has been a nightmare of 1800's style medicine, written in 1800's style English, while having an original copyright date of 1969 and the latest update occurring in 2011. Occasionally, they share information that doesn't risk harming the patient and actually does the job. In a chapter on lung issues, the author of the textbook relates a common mainstream medical misdiagnosis, but misdiasnosed it themselves in their own family member, and treated the apparent symptoms rather than the cause for apparently, the better part of 9 years of this family member's affliction.
The condition's symptoms being addressed by the author, described what my son has had to deal with off and on since entering the work world, a condition mainstream medicine couldn't identify properly, but that a medical definition in an integrative medicine article would hit square on the head.
My daughter's studies have largely taught her what NOT to do when assessing and sharing recommendations for various ailments!
This article addresses the misdiagnosis she found, in the hopes others may not go as long thinking conditions are other than they are. We have very personal experience with the particular diagnosis in question, unfortunately. But herbal wholefood medicine for the win!
