. : DVDs & CDs : .

I currently have two DVD sets available, and one audio CD.  The focus of the videos isn't on botanical identification, but on usage and understanding the foundational actions & energetics at play, with  much elaboration, analogizing, storytelling and gesturing.  There's also information on different preparations, different ideologies on dosage, the power of gentle herbs and other insightful elaborations.  The audio CD is from a class on holistic immunity, and contains the class notes, some recipes, and other supplemental information (as PDF files) as well as the recordings (as MP3 files).

to order...
I may or may not have copies of this on hand, but they can always be purchased from Dave LaLuzerne at HerbTV.  Ideally, ask me first... send an email with your name, address, phone number and email to stephanie@herbcraft.org to see if I have copies on hand, if so, then use the "make a donation" link below to pay (you can also contact stephanie to arrange paying by check, money order, or pirate treasure...).  Please do include all order info in the email to stephanie, and not in the paypal transaction; it just works out easier for us that way.  DVDs will probably be shipped within 1-2 days of your order.

If I'm out at the moment, you can order from HerbTV here.  I'm really super pleased with the job Dave did in making these turn out so well.

herbs, vitalism & holistic immunity
. : MP3 audio CD : .
with jim mcdonald

This CD contains over four hours of class recordings (as MP3 files), and over 30 pages of class notes and other written info (as PDF files) to support the recording (links embedded in the written info go off to oodles more pages of resources).

Topics covered include a contrast of vitalism versus germ theory, "bad blood" and the foundational role of strong metabolism/digestion, physiomedical(ish) fever energetics, diaphoretics, core immune strength, the lymphatic system, metabolic & antiseptic lymphatic herbs, and antimicrobials.  A few interesting tangents were left in, a couple added as "bonus tracks".  The files are named and tracked by topic, to make it easy for finding stuff.  

The CD is $45; shipping is $5.
