A 5-Week Live Video Course With David Crow

Botanical Medicine Expert, Grassroots Healthcare Pioneer & Floracopeia Founder

Starts Thursday, October 22 at 5pm Pacific

 ¨Save time, energy & money in your search for truly personalized, effective natural medicine.

 Confidently navigate the maze of generic internet medicine — and create a therapeutic strategy based on your individual needs.

The world is upside down right now, but one thing is certain: it’s more crucial than ever to know exactly how to take exceptional care of your health… 

 As you try to locate the most reliable information and make the best decisions for your health, it can feel like you’re stuck in a frustrating maze.

 You’ve likely run into conflicting perspectives. Treatments that don’t work, or that come with drawbacks. Prescriptions you want to reduce or avoid altogether.

 And as you navigate symptoms, suffering, frustration, and misinformation, you just want to find the right healing solution for YOU — not for a generic, hypothetical patient.

Meanwhile, the limits of our healthcare systems have been stretched to the max recently as mainstream medicine continues to de-invest in public health. 

 There’s never been a more critical time to become your own self-care expert… your own clinical herbalist.

 The good news is, you have the power to become your own self-care expert. Because you know yourself and your health history better than anyone... 

 Your body, your health history, your family history, your environment, your experiences, your LIFE — are all unique to you. No matter what you’re dealing with, the way it manifests — and the way to heal it — is unique to you.

 Join us for a new 5-week live video course with David Crow and learn to locate accurate, reliable information to create a holistic healing program that works for you. 

 David will share how to think like a clinician to heal illness, prevent relapse, and support allopathic treatments.

 You’ll confidently sidestep trendy diagnoses and treatments — so you can find real solutions. You’ll skillfully navigate the maze of misleading online information and make decisions based on genuine, evidence-based research.

 During this 5-week live video course with David, you’ll discover how to:

•  Develop the self-care diagnostic skills you need to address your chronic health conditions, autoimmune illness, inflammation, and more
• Understand what’s feasible and realistic with natural medicine — including when to use it as a primary treatment, a supportive treatment.. or not at all
• Confidently use internet resources, and find solutions to your individual needs when faced with many different recommendations
• Navigate your options when your doctor wants you to take a medication you don’t want
• Move from disempowered and uninformed patient (through no fault of your own!) to bona fide self-care clinician

• Collaborate with your doctor when prescription drugs may not be the first or best treatment — or when you’d like to safely discontinue medications and replace them with natural alternatives 
• Avoid creating dependency on repeated or ongoing detoxification programs 
• Measure healing progress regarding chronic and complicated conditions

 It’s time to reimagine healthcare, to work WITH doctors and practitioners as your partners, and to become your own expert in healing and self-care.

 And just by discerning the right treatments for yourself, you’ll be on the frontline of shifting our current healthcare models…

Course modules:

Module 1: Developing Self-Care Diagnostic Skills for Chronic Health Conditions, Autoimmune Illness, Inflammation & More (October 22)

 Developing clinical-level self-care is a path of personal exploration and discovery…

And it begins with understanding your past and current health challenges. 

 We have access to many diagnostic tools, including the innovations of allopathic medicine and tests that are easily available without prescriptions.

 We also have resources and tools to help us understand the progression of symptoms over time, and develop body-based awareness. 

The more diagnostic tools you know how to use, the more clarity you’ll have about the best treatments to ensure the best possible outcome on your healing journey.

 In this opening module, David will share:

• Introduction: What “clinical-level self-care” really means
• The importance of a detailed health history
• How past conditions can lead to complex immunological and inflammatory conditions
• Commonly overlooked causes of (apparently) unrelated symptoms

• Resources for ordering and interpreting your own blood tests
• How to use the self-diagnostic tool of body awareness to personalize your herbal program

Module 2: The Risks & Benefits of Internet Medicine (October 29th)

 The rise of the internet has led to exponential growth in the field of natural medicine, bringing you every herb from every part of the world — and myriad sources of information and products. 

 So how do you separate truth from fiction in the maze of marketing claims? 

 How can you take the wealth of generic information about herbal remedies and health products and make it relevant to your unique constitution, age, digestive system, and specific health challenges? 

 How can you tell which products are good and which are not? 

 This week, David will share the answers to all these questions and more — plus, he’ll walk you through the basic online research skills you’ll need to implement clinical-level self-care. 

 He’ll also help you develop critical thinking to protect yourself from misleading or fraudulent information. 

In this module, you’ll explore:

Module 3: The Changing Paradigm of Medicine and Healthcare (November 5th)

The rapidly developing convergence of modern allopathic medicine and ancient herbal traditions has the potential to offer the best and most effective methods from each system, in uniquely integrated ways. 

 This week, David will share how the medicine of the near future will utilize botanical remedies for prevention and immune building — as a first line of treatment for many conditions where drugs aren’t needed, and as complementary adjuncts to reduce dosages and side effects of prescription drugs. 

 You’ll discover how developing clinical-level self-care allows you to use the best of all medical systems, in the best form, to produce the best results, all in a highly educated way.

 In this module, you’ll explore:

• When allopathic or natural medicine are primary, secondary, or contraindicated treatments

• How to work with your doctor when you want to create a personalized herbal program in conjunction with treatments such as chemotherapy

Module 4: Clinical-Level Self-Care & the Home Pharmacy (November 12th)

 This week, David will share how using herbal medicine for clinical-level self-care actually isn’t complicated at all — it only requires a few simple skills you can easily learn...

 You’ll explore how herbs come in many forms and can be prepared in different ways, and the importance of taking them at specific times of day for best results. 

 You’ll learn how to develop sensitivity to herbs’ effects and monitor which ones agree with your system — and which don’t. Certain categories of herbs may be hard to digest, while others may be contraindicated for specific conditions. 

 David will share how to cultivate reliable and trusted sources for high-quality herbs and products. He’ll explain how, with this knowledge, you can easily assemble, prepare, and utilize a highly effective home pharmacy with countless benefits... for the rest of your life. 

In this module, you’ll discover:

 Introduction: Preliminary practices for creating optimum conditions for healing, using a home pharmacy

• The role of family support in the healing process

• Ways to recognize idiosyncratic reactions to foods, herbs, and drugs

In this closing module, David will share how to understand holistic principles of diagnosis and treatment — and effectively practice clinical-level self-care.

 When you’re knowledgeable about these concepts and understand the broader patterns of illness and processes of healing, you’ll learn to care for yourself more effectively — in ways that can first slow the progression of the disease, then stabilize it… and in many cases, reverse it.

 In your final week together, David will share:
