Of the 34.3 million people that live in Canada, only 4 percent of the population represents these communities. These groups are a very small compared to non-aboriginals, but their health is much…
Solar Energy, the Superior Alternative Energy Fossil fuels are bad for our environment, and in an economy that is struggling, there is no point in pouring billions of dollars a year into an energy source that is killing our other resources. This kind of spending and reckless destruction of our environment will eventually have to stop. The question is, when burning burning fossil fuels ultimately ceases, where will we turn?

Therefore, this part of the presentation will deal with the future of alternative medicine in two parts, the first part is the factors shaping the future of alternative medicine, and the…
Figure 5: Semi-quantitative PCR analysis of CHOP splicing variants in plasmids and liver tissues, and CHOP exon arrangements. (A) CHOP1 mRNA contains four exons, whereas CHOP2 mRNA lacks the second exon of CHOP1. The 5 '-leader of CHOP is encoded within the first and second exons, while the coding sequence is encoded within the third and fourth exons of CHOP. (B) As expected, CHOP1 primers amplified CHOP1 transcripts at the size of 214 bp in the CHOP1 plasmid template containing the full…

Treatment plans are rarely the same for any two people, which makes certain studies of medical practices superior to others during individual times. Depending on the context and situation, either allopathic or traditional Chinese medical practices could be used. From these base categories further specifications can be made.

to face many challenges, replacing fossil fuels with alternative energy resources, not only helps to create a cleaner environment, it also helps reduce the bills. However, not everyone is aware of these issues. It’s time we realize that there is only a matter of time before we have globally consumed all available fossil fuels. We have reached a point in time where we must look into alternative resources preferably renewable ones. Alternative resources range from getting our energy from the sun,…
nature and know what parts of the plant to use and how. Learning the history of herbal medicine in differing cultures and how this practice began will be incredibly fulfilling. I am interested in understanding what plants we over cultivate and what alternatives we can use in their place. It is important to know the limitations of our earth and the support it provides for us when practicing natural medicine. I believe the herbal sciences program at Bastyr University can help me gain the…
