More on Michael Moore, herbalist 1941-2009

[Guest guest]

Michael thanks for your Blog. Although I work as an LAc these days, I

studied with MM for about a year in 1993.

 

MM was one of the most brillant and hilarious people I have ever met.

 

He was a great independent scholar and investigator in herbal

medicine. He connected the dots between a vast array of information

particles and found out what worked in the clinic. He developed an

understanding of the physiological actions of medicinal plants. He

created his own system of constitutional medicine. He was intensly

invovled with the Local. The idea was that a working knowledge of

plants in your area should be enuff to help most people in your area.

 

His road trips, where 25 students would jump into cars and caravan

across the country to study plants in their native habitat, were so

much fun, they were probably illegal.

 

He was never dull or pendantic. He was always wild and full of

integrity. He wasn't for sale at any price.

 

His medicine helped a lot of people.

 

to his students he was known as the mothership.
