"I have become aware of the urgent need

for a new form of medicine, one which raises the overall level of environmental, social, nutritional, and spiritual wellbeing.

​

It would not be “alternative,” “complementary,” or “integrated” medicine, rather, it would be

a parallel system of medicine—grassroots, community-supported, cost-effective, plant-based healthcare, accessible to everyone.

​

In other words, folk medicine: using medicinal and nutritive plants grown in our neighbourhoods, according to common knowledge passed down within families and communities."
