 2010 ANAMED SEMINAR IN INDIA!

Dear Friends,
We are pleased that more and more people are eager to learn more about Natural Medicine, to produce medicine themselves, to study how to grow Artemisia annua even in difficult climates, to know how to use it for malaria patients, how to combine it with moringa to improve dramatically the health of AIDS patients - and also how to produce different soaps, black stones, treatments for serious diseases, when no other medicine is available......and we are pleased that so many people want to share all this experience with their friends and colleagues so that many more people become "anamed experts". Because of this overwhelming interest, we offer A NEW SEMINAR.

The following are important aspects of our seminars:
1. Our emphasis on working at the grass-roots, encouraging and supporting local people in developing and extending the skills they already have.
2. We encourage herbalists and formal health workers such as doctors and nurses to work together. We help them to recognise the positive contribution that each makes, and encourage them to work out practical ways in which they can cooperate.
3. By introducing Artemisia annua, enabling herbalists, pastors, expatriates and health workers to become much more independent and successful in their treatment of malaria.
4. It is important that all participants have a commitment both to practising what they learn and to teaching others, for example by conducting a similar seminar in Natural Medicine themselves, at least for a weekend.
5. It must be made clear to all prospective participants that participants receive no fees for their attendance.
6. Transport costs must be met by the participants, their employer or sponsor.
7. All participants will work together in practical work and in establishing a garden. They must bring suitable clothes with them for such activities.
8. Participants must attend for the entire programme; to come only on some days is not acceptable.
9. Those participants who are Christians should bring with them a Bible. (Every day starts with an ecumenical devotion, participation in that is voluntary.)
10. All participants should bring plant material of five medicinal plants from their region.

After this seminar, participants will be able to recognise at least 20 medicinal plants, to use and construct a solar oven, to produce different soaps, different medicinal oils and ointments, black stones for snake-bites....and, most important of all, will be able to treat  malaria effectively with medicinal plants like Artemisia annua. Each participant will be given some seeds and be taught how to grow this delicate plant.

Insurance:
Please note that all participants are responsible for their own insurance. Expatriates are responsible for taking whatever vaccinations and other health precautions they feel necessary.

Following the seminar, visitors from abroad may like to take the opportunity to stay a couple of weeks longer, for example to visit a project of a local seminar participant, You are, of course, responsible for organising such activities yourself, which you undertake at your own risk, and at your own cost. You may be able to make the necessary arrangements during the seminar itself.

We look forward to hearing from you!
With best wishes, Yours sincerely,

Sr. Prabha and Hans Martin Hirt
