I am looking for people/text references and resources for the administration
of herbal medicine.  Obviously, this is a new area to me, but one in which I
have a growing interest.  I can't recommend something without a reliable
reference/resource, though!  Can anyone help?

Subject: uses and users of Lactnet


Do you suppose that when we offer case studies to each other on Lactnet,
including our feelings associated with the difficulties we encounter with
others in the medical profession, that we are not simply complaining, but
truly seeking help from our peers?  Is that not a legitimate use of this
forum?  
Personally, I find working with and helping breastfeeding mothers is
extremely rewarding and wonderful.  The environments that many of us find
ourselves in do not always support a woman's desire to breastfeed, and that
is where the frustration comes in.  I am responsible for education of staff,
but find it very discouraging when faced with the same needs for learning
over and over. I have taught the same material to the same people with no
change in their behavior.   I believe that I try my best to be a support
person by answering questions, encouraging staff to utilize self-study
materials, and praising them for the good work that they do--going the extra
mile and more.  When I am out of ideas or energy, I come here for recharging
and for your expertise.  The variety of answers and opinions is helpful and
enlightening.  The cumulative wisdom and experience is amazing to me.
We are human AND professionals, and I believe that Lactnet reflects this
reality.
Thank you for your support, past, present, and future.
