One of the great advantages of having a show like this is that I get to learn so much from inspirational practitioners not just from the objective information you provide, but also through asking the question why do you feel this important given what information is already out there?

3. Was the health care system actually the same institution you perceived before becoming a part of that system? How did that make you feel?

4. What perspectives did you gain from the Natural Doctor program's?

5. What is opinion in medical science and research for diseases specific to the female gender?

10. Are these particular initiatives you've undertaken through your practice, your books, and information sharing all a part of your personal spiritual quest? How do you feel your role compliments the great change many spiritual folk feel the earth is undergoing?
