Strange how each issue of Positive Health PH Online seems to have its own ‘theme’, despite my non-selection, or so I think. As I commission and put together each issue of PH Online, I must subconsciously select articles which go together in a certain way, despite the variation of the subjects.

As we finalize Positive Health PH Online Oct Issue 187, there appear to be a number of complex issues affecting the practice of Complementary Medicine which continue to swirl around in the background and which may affect not only our ability to obtain and use many nutritional and herbal supplements, but also the ability of health professionals to practise medicine beyond conventional drug-led medicine.
