Question:

My dear friend at work has Nephritis- a kidney disease. She only has 25% of her kidneys left working. I'd like to recommend her some herbs. I sent her a few pages I've found. Anyone here have any recommendations of herbal webpages to go to? Also, anyone here have any herbal recommendations? Also, anyone here know of/heard of anyone that was helped with this disease with herbs/supplements? I do have faith in herbs and supplements as they have helped me completely with various ailments I've had such as Plantar Fasciitis.

Answer:

Here's my list of referral addresses for the US. You don't say where you are, but if those don't help you can always check your yellow pages for professional associations. You can contact the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians referral line at: 206 - 323 7610 2366 Eastlake Avenue, Suite 322 Seattle, WA 98102, or check out the searchable database on the AANP's home page at: http://www.naturopathic.org The American Holistic Medical Association will also provide you with a list of practitioners in your area who may use complimentary therapies. Send them a self-addressed stamped envelope with a note indicating your area to: American Holistic Medical Association, 4101 Lake Boone Trail, Suite 201, Raleigh, NC 27607, (919) 787-5146. They're on the web at: http://www.holisticmedicine.org The American Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine is there, too: 4101 Lake Boone Trail, Suite 201, Raleigh, NC 27607, (919) 787-5181, but I've found no web address.
