Kath,

 

I recently attended a seminar given by Greg Sperber at Samra.  Though not

specifically on the topic of Herb/Drug interactions, I am familiar with his Blue

Poppy book and it is a must get for any practitioner working with patients

who take pharmaceuticals.  My  impression of the seminar he gave is that he is

informative, interesting and entertaining.  I would strongly encourage attending

any seminar Greg gives.

Dr. Greg Sperber is an excellent instructor, practitioner and scholar. He went

through the MSTOM program at PCOM in the ninety's, then he went through

allopathic medical school. He then returned to PCOM and went through the DAOM

program. That's when I met him and we graduated from the DAOM program together.

He is just an outstanding person and practitioner,and I highly recommend his

seminars and respect his knowledge of both medicines. It will be well worth you

time and effort. Greg is also a real specialist when it comes to OM psych and

emotional disorders. I refer my difficult cases to him and defer to his

judgement.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Dr. Donald J. Snow, Jr., DAOM, MPH, L.Ac.
