This talk attempts to illuminate the biographical and psychoanalytic basis of Bach’s discoveries, using extensive quotations from Bach’s own texts, as well as autobiographical data from the presenter, a long time user of the English Flower Essences. This is transcript of a talk and slide show presented at AHG Symposium, Portland, 2006. The slides, helpful for listening to this talk, will be available at iPod resolution as a quicktime movie from herbological.com.

Physiology + paradigm part 2.MP3

Part 1 of a 90 minute talk about physiology as the scientific foundation of western herbal medicine: but mainstream physiology must first be exorcised of concepts and terms historically intended to eliminate vitalism - such as homeostasis - before herbalism can use physiology effectively. Chaos theory, non-linear dynamics are essential components of revisioning physiology for herbalism.
