Successful Battle in Treating Low Back Pain with Herbal Remedies: Natural Pain Management (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781477539750)

Guy Chamberland was first introduced to Chinese herbal medicine in 1990. This launched his interest in herbal medicine, and over the years he studied the pharmacology of many herbs. Based on his experience working on complex pharmaceutical products, he was invited to present at the FDA Public Hearing on Regulation of Combination Products (http: //www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/Meet-ingsConferencesWorkshops/ucm133825.htm). Subsequently he wrote a chapter entitled "Developing Drug-Device Combination Products with Unapproved Components" for the textbook Clinical Evaluation of Medical Devices, edited by Becker, Karen M. and Whyte, John J., Humana Press, 2006. In 2007 Guy Chamberland began studying the additive and synergistic effects obtained when combining plant extracts. His interest in herbal pain management began early in 2007 after suffering from a L4-L5 disc hernia. This book is about how he successfully treated this condition using herbal remedies. In 2009 Guy Chamberland founded a company called CuraPhyte Technologies Inc. (www.curaphyte.com; www.enteriphyte.com ) that specializes in the development and commercialization of evidence-based herbal remedies. The company has two major axes of activities: one devoted to commercializing quality products for patient self-care lines, and the other devoted to commercializing professional product lines and working closely with health practitioners to further understand the treatment of pain with herbal remedies. Guy Chamberland has completed training as a natural health practitioner, bioenergetics practitioner, chartered herbalist, in herbal prescriptions, and performed clinical research to obtain the degree of Master Herbalist. Through his continued research in herbal science, he has become an expert in herbal pain management.
