Quack Busters Busted

The "quack busters" are a group of waylaid practitioners who have made it their goal to bash any form of "alternative care". Their outrageous web site and affiliates try to frighten parents against choosing any mode of natural healing. Dr. Tedd Koren took them to court and won. You can read all about it on the Foundation for Health Choice web site: http://www.foundationforhealthchoice.com/victory_barett.html

A New Holistic Pediatric Chat Room

This group for students and friends of Holistic Pediatric Training promotes the holistic care of children. The group is open to all pediatric practitioners. Messages can discuss problems in pediatric care, difficult cases, or questions about holistic care of children. Topics may include Chinese medicine, homeopathy, nutrition, chiropractic. Holistic instructors are also available to answer questions and clarify material taught during seminars. The group is intended to build a network of holistic pediatric specialists and support each other in our efforts to provide health care to children.
