"Comparison of Alternative Medicine and Conventional Medicine" and daily health secrets.
Stan M. Gardner, MD, was trained in traditional Western medicine. He received a Bachelor of Science in Biology at Utah State University, attended medical school in the Philippines (where he learned firsthand about alternative methods of healing), did a residency in Pediatrics at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and practiced conventional medicine for 15 years. He has practiced alternative and energy medicine for over 10 years.

communicated to us some very important information in an organized and
useful way.
