MedicineCrow Teacher Community
Represented at National Ayurveda Conference

National Ayurvedic Medical Association hosts one of the primary conferences for professional practitioners of Ayurveda. These annual retreats feature the most brilliant teachers and thinkers as speakers and attendees. Many MedicineCrow interview videos were created at past NAMA conferences.

The 2012 conference will feature MedicineCrow founder David Crow as a keynote speaker, opening the conference on April 19th 2012. David is known as an advocate of grassroots healthcare, which he defines as local, affordable, and non-toxic, and his classes are well received by home enthusiasts and professional practitioners alike.

David Crow Interviews Phil Goldberg, Author of "American Veda"

Last month I had the pleasure of meeting with a fellow writer who I had not seen for many years, and interviewing him about his latest book.

Phil Goldberg is one of those writers that I admire, not only because most of his work has been related to the field of consciousness, spirituality and natural healing, but simply because of the sheer volume of material that he has produced. Having spent ten years writing “In Search of the Medicine Buddha,” and having spent another ten years since writing a sequel that is still not completed, it strikes me as an immense accomplishment to be able to write not just one book, but twenty-three. I have great respect for anyone who can do this, not only because of the high level of self discipline it reveals, but because of the cumulative knowledge and wisdom that one gains from doing so.

One of the Most Prolific and Important Teachers of Ayurveda In the World Returns To MedicineCrow In September!

Poor quality food, environmental toxins, and stress all contribute to imbalances in the body that can be treated through cleansing.  Cleansing is the proces of eating a specific diet supplemented with herbs to encourage the organs and tissues to release toxins to be eliminated by the body.  Many health concerns - both physical and mental - can be effectively addressed through cleansing and detoxification.  However most people don't know the process to effectively and safely detoxify.

Raw milk from quality sources is advocated by proponents of traditional whole foods diets such as the Weston A. Price Foundation, and in the last few years has gained popularity in natural foods markets, CSAs, and food buying clubs.  In spite of what appears to be a lack of evidence that raw milk is dangerous, the FDA and CDC, along with local law enforcement made a military-style raid on Rawesome Foods in Venice California on Wednesday August 3rd, 2011. The founder James Stewart was arrested on charges of conspiracy to commit a crime, and the store’s inventory of unpasturized milk was destroyed. (via Natural News) Below, a close associate of Mr. Stewart describes the raid:

The action has generated a rallying cry from the whole foods communities with demonstrations staged at the courthouse where Mr. Stewart is being arraigned on felony charges.
