Herbal Remedies - New Mexico Naturopaths

[Guest guest]

That's great hon.

But have her contact Dr. Katherine Whited @ DocWhited

before she fires anything off.

Katherine (also one of our list members) is co-ordinating this effort.

Katherine is also the president of our association, and your ND neighbor should be connected to her regardless.

Love,

Doc
