These formulas are described in the ITM book A Bag of Pearls, and belong to the overall educational and training method of ITM which is to integrate the study of Chinese medicine into the practice of Chinese medicine. A Bag of Pearls describes 200 formulas, most of them based on traditional Chinese medicine principles. ITM also maintains a pharmacy of dried extracts, following the method of herb use that is dominant in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. These dried extracts (granules) are used to make personalized formulations or formulas that are used in doses higher than suited to tablets. Located ion Portland, Oregon.

Native Healing - The Cherokee Way - The public demand we are now seeing for Native American and alternative medicines have resulted in the creations of Centers for the Evaluation and study of Alternative Medicine in such prestigious schools as Harvard University, the University of Arizona and many other higher science institutions. As these studies have proven, native healing works. These studies have helped a society so brain-washed as to accept only that that has been proven by science. With native healing, results are more important than why a treatment works. It seems that today’s pharmaceutical industry is more interested in “controlling” a disease than “curing” it.

Alternative and herbal medicines have been used by people in other cultures for many years.  Some treatments are very effective for some people.  Others may only work because the patient believes they will work, much like the way placebos sometimes work in medical experiments.  However, we believe that the more you know about the options, the more you will be able to make intelligent, informed decisions about the medical treatment, which may be right for you and your particular medical conditions.  Please read our disclaimer.
