ABOUT US

Who We Are

MediCann is a group of integrative medical clinics dedicated to providing health and wellness services including evaluations for medicinal marijuana. Dr. Jean Talleyrand, a licensed physician with the California Medical Association, founded this statewide network of 19 clinics that in 2009 has a geographic span from Eureka to San Diego. A champion of alternative healing and pain management through the use of medical marijuana, Dr. Talleyrand has brought his integrative wellness and healing approach to light in the healthcare industry, and continues to make inroads in his quest for patient care and comfort.

History

Dr. Jean Talleyrand completed his medical degree at Boston University School of Medicine and moved to San Francisco in 1995 to complete his residency at UCSF/San Francisco General Hospital Family Practice Program. While completing his residency program, Dr. Talleyrand realized the health benefits of using an integrative approach to improve patients’ health issues.

In 2001, Dr. Talleyrand started a private practice in San Francisco’s Mission District serving patients from some of its poorest communities. Combining compassionate health care, and a formidable drive to heal and serve his community, he quickly found his calling and signature approach to patient care. Dr. Talleyrand began writing evaluations for medical marijuana and encouraged the use of alternative and holistic medicine to ease patient’s pain. After years of serving and evaluating patients for potential medical marijuana treatment, Dr. Talleyrand created MediCann.

The results speak for themselves:

• A low cost service to a larger patient base in a compassionate environment
where patients are treated with the respect and treatment they deserve.
• A process that’s simple and informative.
• 19 clinics in the State of California and growing…

What We Do

MediCann is a community of integrative medical clinics committed to providing a stress-free, holistic environment where patients in need of medicinal marijuana receive a cost-effective, expert evaluation by a licensed medical professional. Qualified patients receive a physician's recommendation allowing them the legal use of Medical Marijuana under California Proposition 215, also known as the California Compassionate Use Act of 1996 Health and Safety Code Section 11362.5, and under SB420, sec. 11362.7.

We also provide educational brochures, books and articles on alternative health practices. Our aim is to educate our patients on all alternative practices and empower them to choose the best medicine.

Our Mission

To ensure that all individuals have safe, legal and affordable access to licensed healthcare practitioners.

To empower people to become responsible for the health of their mind, body and spirit by providing and protecting a patients’ right to choose the best medicine for themselves, their families and the planet.

To be the custodians of any and all key knowledge pertaining to alternative healing to better serve our community, patients, friends and associates.

To lead by example.

Our Patients

MediCann serves a diverse patient population and is committed to working with individuals with a wide range of medical needs and health conditions. Many of our patients have not been able to obtain relief from their symptoms through traditional forms of medicine and are concerned about the side effects of prescribed medications to treat illness and injury. Others seek the broadest range of medical options possible and consider cannabis to be a therapy that compliments, augments, or replaces their existing care regimen.

Our studies show that MediCann medical marijuana users come from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds. Over 95% of patients used cannabis prior to using it medicinally. Most patients use marijuana for chronic pain, and particularly lower back pain. Anxiety, insomnia and migraine headaches are some of the most frequently treated illnesses utilizing medical marijuana.

MediCann has been working with patients since 2004, and now serves more than 25,000 patients per year. We are the largest provider of medical marijuana evaluations in the State of California, and will soon have a national clinic presence.

Welcome Words From The Founder

Welcome to our new website! We are proud to support and inform a vibrant and growing community that has the courage to vote their preference in choosing the most effective alternative medicine.

As a physician, I am repeatedly delighted (but not surprised) at the myriad ailments that cannabis alleviates. Outside of the well-documented pain control, it relaxes muscles, reduces the spasticity of Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis and spinal cord trauma. It eases the aggressive emotional and physical outbursts found in Alzheimer’s disease, Tourettes’ syndrome and Alcoholism. Having shown significant results in patients with immune or inflammatory mediated illnesses, marijuana is being researched for its effect on diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriasis. Most patients use marijuana for chronic pain, and particularly lower back pain. Anxiety, insomnia and migraine headaches follow closely as some of the most frequent illnesses treated by medical marijuana. As the list of illnesses continues to grow, we are happy to see the results in our patient’s lives.

MediCann hopes to be a sounding board for all of our patients as we continue to listen to you, address your concerns and provide you with the most appropriate choice in medicine that makes sense for your condition and lifestyle.

We aim to be custodians and ambassadors in the field of alternative healing. This website was created for you: the “go-to” place for information, press, latest legal and medical breakthroughs, legislation, and health tips to improve your overall quality of life.

Dr. Jean Talleyrand

Privacy Policy

MediCann supports and upholds patient privacy and adheres to HIPPA standards as it pertains to doctor-patient privacy. Additionally, we insure patient privacy by not sharing any health information with insurance companies, work places or governmental agencies without prior written consent by the patient.

Our Goals

• To develop educational materials covering key topics of interest for stakeholders to showcase the use of herbs to improve the symptoms of various diseases and overall health issues.

• To council patients on the range of alternative therapies available enabling them to take an active role in their health.

• To develop affiliate relationships with other organizations, agencies, and health care providers to offer value added support to our patients and the community at large.

• To open more locations throughout the State of California.

DEA pot raids go on; Obama opposes
President vowed to end policy

Drug Enforcement Administration agents this week raided four medical marijuana shops in California, contrary to President Obama's campaign promises to stop the raids.

The White House said it expects those kinds of raids to end once Mr. Obama nominates someone to take charge of DEA, which is still run by Bush administration holdovers.

“The president believes that federal resources should not be used to circumvent state laws, and as he continues to appoint senior leadership to fill out the ranks of the federal government, he expects them to review their policies with that in mind," White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said.

Medical use of marijuana is legal under the law in California and a dozen other states, but the federal government under President Bush, bolstered by a 2005 Supreme Court ruling, argued that federal interests trumped state law.

Dogged by marijuana advocates throughout the campaign, Mr. Obama repeatedly said he was opposed to using the federal government to raid medical marijuana shops, particularly because it was an infringement on states' decisions.

“I'm not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue," Mr. Obama told the Mail Tribune newspaper in Oregon in March, during the Democratic primary campaign.

He told the newspaper the "basic concept of using medical marijuana for the same purposes and with the same controls as other drugs prescribed by doctors, I think that's entirely appropriate."

Mr. Obama is still filling key law enforcement posts. For now, DEA is run by acting Administrator Michele Leonhart, a Bush appointee.

Special Agent Sarah Pullen of the DEA's Los Angeles office said agents raided four marijuana dispensaries about noon Tuesday. Two were in Venice and one each was in Marina Del Rey and Playa Del Ray -- all in the Los Angeles area.

A man who answered the phone at Marina Caregivers in Marina Del Rey said his shop was the target of a raid but declined to elaborate, saying the shop was just trying to get back to operating.

Agent Pullen said the four raids seized $10,000 in cash and 224 kilograms of marijuana and marijuana-laced food, such as cookies. No one was arrested, she said, but the raid is part of an ongoing investigation seeking to trace the marijuana back to its suppliers or source.

She said agents have conducted 30 or 40 similar raids in the past several years, many of which resulted in prosecutions.

"It's clear that the DEA is showing no respect for President Obama's campaign promises," said Dan Bernath, a spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project in Washington, which advocates for medical marijuana and for decriminalizing the drug.

California allows patients whose doctors prescribe marijuana to use the drug. The state has set up a registry to allow patients to obtain cards allowing them to possess, grow, transport and use marijuana.

Kris Hermes of Americans for Safe Access, a medical marijuana advocacy group in California, called the raids an attempt to undermine state law and said they were apparently conducted without the knowledge of Los Angeles city or police officials.

He said the DEA has raided five medical marijuana dispensaries in the state since Mr. Obama was inaugurated and that the first took place on Jan. 22 in South Lake Tahoe.

"President Obama needs to keep a promise he made, not just in one campaign stop, but in multiple speeches that he would not be spending Justice Department funds on these kinds of raids," Mr. Hermes said. "We do want to give him a little bit of leeway, but at the same time we're expecting him to stop this egregious enforcement policy that is continuing into his presidency."

He said he is aware that Mr. Obama has not installed his own DEA chief but that new Attorney General "Eric Holder can still suspend these types of operations."

Medicinal Cannabis in the USA

As of 2008, thirteen states have passed laws allowing the medicinal use of cannabis. In most cases, the changes in state law were made through ballot initiatives - where voters can petition proposed law changes to be included on state and local ballots, allowing the public to vote for or against them.

Interestingly, where figures on such ballot initiatives are available, they show that laws in favour of medicinal cannabis laws are approved by more voters and receive a greater percentage of the vote than any successful Presidential candidate in recent memory!

6.However, “smoked” cannabis is still not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration.

WASHINGTON WATCH

Oakland, CA - June 13, 2005
MediCann supports the Hinchey-Rohrabacher amendment barring the US Department of Justice (DOJ) from prosecuting patients who use medical cannabis in compliance with state laws.

According to MediCann founder physician Jean Talleyrand, "Congress will have another opportunity to go on record, and support the Hinchey/Rohrabacher Medical Marijuana Amendment next year, and protect and support the health and safety of patients who use cannabis therapeutically in compliance with the laws of their state."

MediCann spokesperson, Matt Desanto, urges concerned individuals to continue advocating the use of medical marijuana by contacting their congressional representatives and State senators and express their ongoing support for passage of the Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment.

“This was a bi-partisan amendment to the 2005 Justice Department appropriations bill, that would have prohibited the Department Of Justice (DOJ) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) from spending taxpayers' money to pursue any criminal or civil penalties against patients who are using marijuana in compliance with their State’s medical cannabis laws.”

MediCann urges Congress to stand up for the rights of seriously ill patients in 2006 by voting in favor of the Hinchey/Rohrabacher amendment.

Oakland, CA - June 6, 2005
MediCann physicians continue to support a patient’s right to choose the best medicine by offering medical marijuana recommendations to qualified individuals.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruling does not directly affect MediCann operations, services or its practitioners. MediCann will continue to offer high quality medical marijuana evaluations and recommendations for qualifying patients. MediCann is doing business as usual.

According to founder Dr. Jean Talleyrand: “As physicians, we are committed to providing patients with access to the best medicine possible.”

MediCann refers patients and providers to recent comments regarding the supreme court ruling made by California State Attorney General, Bill Lockyer, "people shouldn't panic . there aren't going to be that many changes."

MediCann spokesman Matt Desanto notes: "As far as we are concerned, the court is merely upholding the status quo. Local state officers responsible for the majority of marijuana prosecutions must still follow state laws that protect patients. We are going to continue to offer the highest standard of care in compliance with the Compassionate Use Act of 1996."

In light of the immediate and widespread closures of medical marijuana dispensaries throughout California since the Supreme Court decision, we urge patients and all those interested in medical marijuana to make your voice heard.This is especially important now because next week the Federal House of Representatives votes on the Hinchy-Rohrabacher amendment that will determine whether federal funds can be used to interfere with state medical marijuana laws. Call or write California State Senators Barbara Boxer (415) 403-0100, and Diane Feinstein (415) 393-0707.

STATE CAPITOL

Oakland, CA - June 13, 2005
Governor Schwarzenegger's decision to suspend the California Medical Marijuana Identification Program pending a review by the Attorney General, does not affect the legal status of MediCann patients.

MediCann continues to offer legal, affordable medical marijuana evaluations.

Patients who have received recommendations from MediCann health professionals retain the protections of Proposition 215 and Senate Bill 420.

Spokesperson Matt Desanto specifies that "The identification card program is designed to verify authorized medical marijuana patients to law enforcement.

Let me stress that the Medical Marijuana State ID Card system is a completely voluntary program for recommended patients and caregivers.

Qualified patients who want to apply for a state card will have to wait for Attorney General Bill Lockyer's review and response."

MediCann urges all concerned individuals and medical marijuana advocates to contact Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (916) 445–2841 and Attorney General Lockyer (916) 322–3360.

LOCAL POLITICS

Palm Springs CA - February 2009

The Palm Springs City Council will vote on a proposed ordinance that would allow two medical marijuana dispensaries to open in the city's industrial zones.

If the measure is approved, Palm Springs would be the first city in Riverside County to allow medical marijuana dispensaries.

In January, the city council held a public hearing and voted to amend the original ordinance to limit the number of dispensaries in Palm Springs to two and add security provisions.

The proposed ordinance states that dispensaries would not be allowed within 1,000 feet of each other or within 500 feet of schools, public parks, playgrounds, churches, youth centers or residential areas.

Other provisions state that the dispensaries must be set up as nonprofit collectives or cooperatives, as recommended in the guidelines issued by California Attorney General Jerry Brown in August. No one under the age of 18 would be allowed to work in marijuana dispensaries.

San Francisco CA - February 2009

One might guess that tough economic times would only fuel the desire for mind-altering substances. For San Francisco’s cannabis clubs, however, nothing could be further from the truth.

The deepening economic crisis has hit the dispensaries hard, forcing the nonprofit collectives to cut staff, business hours and donations to charities.

Charlie Alazraie, manager of Bay Area Safe Alternatives, said business has dropped about 60 percent since summer, as the economy forces patients to buy smaller quantities. Alazraie had to let go of one full-time employee and two part-time workers at the small Western Addition collective.

Also halted were donations to soup kitchens and low-cost health clinics that serve many of BASA’s patients. The previously profitable collective was hit with a penalty last quarter after paying their sales tax late for the first time.

“This year we’re going to be so much in the red, I don’t want to find out. I know it’s going to be ugly,” Alazraie said. “We’re in arrears with our vendors, with architects, with everything.”

The collective has always had a commitment to provide free medical marijuana for those in impossible situations — people who are critically ill and living in poverty were subsidized with money set aside from sales. In the past, the number of people who qualified hovered around 36. Today, there are 60.

The recession hit right after many San Francisco pot clubs had spent tens of thousands of dollars to comply with legislation passed in 2005 requiring them to meet city permit regulations.

Kevin Reed, founder of the Green Cross, which delivers medical marijuana to patients in San Francisco, said his sales are down 25 percent in the past 40 days, and dropped 45 percent in the past two weeks.

To survive, the collective cut its hours and cut its 12 employees’ pay by $2 an hour.

“It’s amazing to me,” Reed said. “It’s an industry I never thought could be affected.”

Reed said he thought marijuana would be a recession-proof product, much like alcohol.

“I always heard that if the economy went bad, people would be depressed,” he said. “The whole theory got blown out the window for me.”

The cost of the pot hasn’t risen, but the $300-an-ounce price tag has become a heavy burden for people who have lost their jobs and cut back on expenses. Insurance does not cover medicinal marijuana.

“The only busy day we’ve had in the past 40 days is when we offered a one-third off discount for veterans,” Reed said. “It seemed like half the veterans in the state signed up.”

San Francisco CA – June 2007

On June 1st 2007, strict ordinance was to go into effect in San Francisco. This would require all dispensaries to only accept patients who have the state card. If this was to go into effect, it would force city dispensaries to close doors to nearly 75% of patients, denying them safe access to medicine.

MediCann supports a group of patient advocacy organizations that are working with San Francisco city supervisor Ross Mirkarimi to stop this, and get a Patient Care Package into city legislation to further protect patients rights.

San Diego CA – December 2006

San Diego County and the DEA shut down 13 dispensaries. San Diego District Attorney Bonnie M. Dumanis is aggressively fighting Prop 214, and senate bill 420 prioritizing Federal law over State.

MediCann continues to offer safe recommendation for our patients at our San Diego clinic. We are strongly opposed to the San Diego DA’s disregard to state law.

Health

What are the primary effects of using medicinal marijuana?
The most obvious effects of marijuana can be seen in the brain and nervous system. The immediate effect is a dulling of the senses, blunting of memory and concentration, and changes in behavior. Pain perception is altered, nausea is calmed, and appetite is stimulated. There is no current data concluding that permanent changes or actual changes occur in the brain with regular use.

What are the benefits of using medicinal marijuana?
The National Institute of Health has come up with a list of conditions that marijuana appears to be of benefit.
1. Stimulate appetite and relieve cachexia (the physical wasting away of AIDS and cancer sufferers).
2. Control nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy.
3. Decrease intraocular pressure inside the eyeball for relief of glaucoma.
4. Analgesia for pain management for a variety of conditions.
5. Neurological and movement disorders, such as muscle spasticity and seizures.
6. Temporarily alleviates anxiety.

What are the side effects of using medicinal marijuana?
The intoxication and effects on the nervous system lead to slowed reaction time and loss of coordination, which last for hours after ingestion. These effects make driving a car or operating machinery hazardous, and these activities should be avoided while under the influence of marijuana.

Cannabinoids and THC also produce cardiovascular effects. Immediately after inhalation the heart begins to beat faster, the blood vessels dilate and blood pressure drops. This can cause dizziness and the sensation of palpitations in some people. Smoking marijuana is the most common form of ingestion, but is not the only one. There are hundreds of chemical compounds in the marijuana plant, and smoking delivers all of them along with the desired ones. The airways of the lungs are lined with tissues that have microscopic cilia, or little fingerlike extensions that ‘wave’ upwards from the lungs, to the mouth and nose. The purpose is to push mucus filled with foreign toxins back up and out of the lungs to the mouth and nose, where they can be swallowed or sneezed out. These cilia stop working with any kind of smoking, which means that the toxins (or organisms) trapped in the mucus have no way of escaping the lung.

The risks of using marijuana during pregnancy are unknown.

What are the long term effects of using medicinal marijuana?
There is a documented, but mild withdrawal syndrome associated with the cessation of marijuana use after as little as a week. However this is not a common reaction and does not occur in the majority of users. The body does not become physically dependent.
The symptoms of the withdrawal syndrome include: irritability, insomnia, mood swings, and mild depression.
A ‘drug holiday’ of at 1-3 weeks every 3-4 months is a good idea. This can help the patient differentiate side effects of marijuana from the possible symptoms of an illness.

RESEARCH

Benefits of Medical Marijuana

Most patients use marijuana for chronic pain, and particularly lower back pain. Anxiety, insomnia and migraine headaches are some of the most frequent illnesses treated by medical marijuana.

Outside of the well documented pain control, it relaxes muscles, reducing the spasticity of Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis and spinal cord trauma. It eases the aggressive emotional and physical outbursts found in Alzheimer's disease, Tourettes syndrome and Alcoholism. Having shown significant results in patients with immune or inflammatory mediated illnesses, marijuana is being researched for its effect on diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriasis. As the list of illnesses continues to grow, we are happy to see the results in our patient's faces and lives.

MediCann Research

Pilot Study Funded by RAND

We have just completed collecting the data for our first pilot study sponsored by the RAND Corporation. All information collected is anonymous, as we strictly adhere to Doctor-Patient privacy laws. Preliminary results of our study show that MediCann medical marijuana users come from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds. Over 95% of patients used cannabis prior to using it medicinally. Most patients use marijuana for chronic pain, and particularly lower back pain. Anxiety, insomnia and migraine headaches follow closely as some of the most frequent illnesses treated by medical marijuana.

Industry

March 1st, 2007

According to Lester Grinspoon from the Boston Globe, the result of a new study in the journal Neurology is being hailed as unassailable proof that marijuana is a valuable medicine. It is a sad commentary on the state of modern medicine - and US drug policy - that we still need "proof" of something medicine has known for 5,000 years.

Medical Board

On November 5, 1996, the people of California passed Proposition 215. Through this Initiative Measure, Section 11362.5 was added to the Health & Safety Code, and is also known as the Compassionate Use Act of 1996. The purposes of the Act include, in part:

"(A) To ensure that seriously ill Californians have the right to obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes where the medical use is deemed appropriate and has been recommended by a physician who has determined that the person's health would benefit from the use of marijuana in the treatment of cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine, or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief; and

(B) To ensure that patients and their primary caregivers who obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes upon the recommendation of a physician are not subject to criminal prosecution or sanction."

Furthermore, Health & Safety Code section 11362.5(c) provides strong protection for physicians who choose to participate in the implementation of the Act. - "Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no physician in this state shall be punished, or denied any right or privilege, for having recommended marijuana to a patient for medical purposes."

The Medical Board of California developed this statement since medical marijuana is an emerging treatment modality. The Medical Board wants to assure physicians who choose to recommend medical marijuana to their patients, as part of their regular practice of medicine, that they WILL NOT be subject to investigation or disciplinary action by the MBC if they arrive at the decision to make this recommendation in accordance with accepted standards of medical responsibility. The mere receipt of a complaint that the physician is recommending medical marijuana will not generate an investigation absent additional information indicating that the physician is not adhering to accepted medical standards.

These accepted standards are the same as any reasonable and prudent physician would follow when recommending or approving any other medication, and include the following:

1. History and good faith examination of the patient.
2. Development of a treatment plan with objectives.
3. Provision of informed consent including discussion of side effects.
4. Periodic review of the treatment's efficacy.
5. Consultation, as necessary.
6. Proper record keeping that supports the decision to recommend the use of medical marijuana.

In other words, if physicians use the same care in recommending medical marijuana to patients as they would recommending or approving any other medication, they have nothing to fear from the Medical Board.

Here are some important points to consider when recommending medical marijuana:

1. Although it could trigger federal action, making a recommendation in writing to the patient will not trigger action by the Medical Board of California.

2. A patient need not have failed on all standard medications, in order for a physician to recommend or approve the use of medical marijuana.

3. The physician should determine that medical marijuana use is not masking an acute or treatable progressive condition, or that such use will lead to a worsening of the patient's condition.

4. The Act names certain medical conditions for which medical marijuana may be useful, although physicians are not limited in their recommendations to those specific conditions. In all cases, the physician should base his/her determination on the results of clinical trials, if available, medical literature and reports, or on experience of that physician or other physicians, or on credible patient reports. In all cases, the physician must determine that the risk/benefit ratio of medical marijuana is as good, or better, than other medications that could be used for that individual patient.

5. A physician who is not the primary treating physician may still recommend medical marijuana for a patient's symptoms. However, it is incumbent upon that physician to consult with the patient's primary treating physician or obtain the appropriate patient records to confirm the patient's underlying diagnosis and prior treatment history.

6. The initial examination for the condition for which medical marijuana is being recommended must be in-person.

7. Recommendations should be limited to the time necessary to appropriately monitor the patient. Periodic reviews should occur and be documented at least annually or more frequently as warranted.

8. If a physician recommends or approves the use of medical marijuana for a minor, the parents or legal guardians must be fully informed of the risks and benefits of such use and must consent to that use.

Although the Compassionate Use Act allows the use of medical marijuana by a patient upon the recommendation or approval of a physician, California physicians should bear in mind that marijuana is listed in Schedule I of the federal Controlled Substances Act, which means that it has no accepted medical use under federal law. However, in Conant v. Walters (9th Cir.2002) F.3d 629 the United States Court of Appeals recognized that physicians have a constitutionally-protected right to discuss medical marijuana as a treatment option with their patients and make oral or written recommendation for medical marijuana. However, the court cautioned that physicians could exceed the scope of this constitutional protection if they conspire with, or aid and abet, their patients in obtaining medical marijuana.

Continued Care Requirements

Intensely physical and spiritual system of flowing postures expertly taught by Jivamukti founders.

Yoga as Medicine: The Yogic Prescription for Health and Healing
Starred Review. Western-trained internist and Yoga Journal medical editor McCall has practiced Iyengar yoga for a decade. In 2002, he traveled to India, where most scientific research on yoga's medical benefits has been conducted. The results of that visit and McCall's subsequent study of yoga therapy and ayurveda (India's ancient medical system) are presented here, translated into Western medical terms. For example, McCall demystifies such concepts as samskaras (unconscious patterns that negatively affect behavior and health); scientists, McCall says, explain these patterns as repeated firings of neurons that change the brain's wiring. Although McCall's focus is on yoga therapy, he includes material that will be helpful to most students. For readers challenged by illness, he provides an overview of popular yoga styles and their suitability for various degrees of fitness; steps to finding a yoga therapist; and what to expect from a session. Twenty chapters feature noted yoga instructors describing their approaches to specific conditions—panic attacks, carpal tunnel syndrome, depression, infertility, cancer, etc. They offer advice, rather than fixed protocols, based on their tradition and experience. This might frustrate readers seeking a formula, but those willing to experiment have access to many diverse tools and practices. No doubt McCall's fine articulation of yoga's healing potential will appeal to a large audience of instructors, students, physicians and their patients. (July)
