Poisonous plants, when used in the proper, prescribed doses, can act as potent therapeutic agents. Virtually any substance can be harmful at high enough concentrations, and it is thought that if the dose is low enough, even a highly toxic substance will cease to cause a harmful effect. The toxic potency of a chemical is thus ultimately defined by the dose (the amount) of the chemical that will produce a specific response in a specific biological system. \"In all of these debates, the key point that is not often understood is that it's the dose that makes the poison,\" says Dr. Carl Winter, an expert in toxicology at the University of California, Davis. \"The tendency is to exaggerate toxicity. It's a slippery slope where to draw the line on what represents a legitimate concern and what restrictions should apply.\"  I often combine medicinal plants with powerful actions, such as Digitalis and Belladonna, with those with very gentle action, such as chamomile, lemon balm and many adaptogenic plants. \"Gentle action\", when referring to herbs such as chamomile does not mean they are more or less ineffective, but rather they are plants that either don't produce instant and powerful effects and\/or they can be consumed in higher doses without any adverse effects. When I combine powerful herbs with gentle herbs I am looking for the powerful herbs to push a bit in a specific direction while the gentle tonic-like herbs provide the overall therapeutic effect, always in concert with the life-force of the body, lending a helping hand rather than doing all the lifting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRelated product: \u003c\/span\u003eThe PowerPoint for this recording is available\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehere:\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/2021-Medicines-from-the-Earth-Herb-Symposium-Book-Download-PDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2021 Medicines from the Earth Herb Symposium: Conference Book Download (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603418976472,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602276913368,"sku":"21ME07","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/Audio-File_450087f0-15f5-42a6-ab25-52e0595525e3.png?v=1752121350"},{"product_id":"vaporizer-technologies-safety-considerations-and-a-mechanism-for-the-delivery-of-botanical-medicines","title":"21ME20 - Vaporizer Technologies: Safety Considerations and a Mechanism for the Delivery of Botanical Medicines","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeaker: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Proefrock-Kenneth\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKenneth Proefrock, NMD\u003c\/a\u003e  The first commercially viable e-cigarette' ushered in a whole new industry when it was patented and brought to market in 2003. Over the past 17 years, we have witnessed an explosion of companies with devices that promise a less toxic way to deliver nicotine and cannabinoids to consumers than traditional smoking. As the technology of this industry has evolved we have witnessed controversy and new safety concerns about the additives used for delivery, coloring, flavoring and stabilizing these products, we have also witnessed an increase in potentially addictive activity in younger people. Vaping' has become so commonplace that it has become a source of friction between parents and their children, schools and their students, even workers in their workplaces. The commonly held idea is that the second-hand 'smoke' from these devices is harmless and non-toxic, however, that may depend on the individual and the product being used. There have been some notable public health crises related to vaping that are useful to consider, as well as some of the regulatory attempts by the FDA that reflect their thinking on how best to regulate this industry. Amidst all of this controversy, vaping has become an increasingly popular pursuit that is not likely to go away anytime soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRelated product: \u003c\/span\u003eThe PowerPoint for this recording is available\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehere:\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/2021-Medicines-from-the-Earth-Herb-Symposium-Book-Download-PDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2021 Medicines from the Earth Herb Symposium: Conference Book Download (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603440865496,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602275340504,"sku":"21ME20","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/Audio-File_569bb28e-ff29-446b-99df-536c9c922b1f.png?v=1752121856"},{"product_id":"key-points-when-prescribing-probiotics-in-clinical-practice","title":"22SW07 - Key Points when Prescribing Probiotics in Clinical Practice","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSpeaker: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/Hawrelak-Jason\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eJason Hawrelak, ND\u003c\/a\u003e.  Over the last two decades, probiotic research has increased\u003cbr\u003eexponentially. This has been mirrored by an explosion of probiotic products in\u003cbr\u003ethe marketplace. With the sheer choice of probiotic supplements and foods\u003cbr\u003eavailable on the market today, it can be challenging for health professionals\u003cbr\u003eto sort through each manufacturers' claims of superiority. In this\u003cbr\u003epresentation, Dr. Hawrelak covers probiotic prescribing fundamentals and\u003cbr\u003edetails the wide range of mechanisms that explain how these agents can have\u003cbr\u003esuch myriad health benefits.
