Profile:
I came up in the 60s, spent as much time in the redwoods and oak forests as I could. I love biology, plants, cooking up herbs, herbalists
I have been doing herbal medicine professionally since the early 90s, and added acupuncture and Oriental medicine along the way. Quote: I want to be in the woods everyday, because every day there I'll see something I've never seen before, and that's a reminder that there's no way I'm ever going to know everything. I want to confront my own ignorance every day. -Barry Lopez
