Endobiogenic Medicine Society

The Endobiogenic Medicine Society (EMS) was created by Anna Betz, Paul Michael and Colin Nicholls to bring awareness of endobiogenic medicine to the UK and to provide information, organize events and offer a training platform both to the public and to medical professionals. All three are medical herbalists who have been training with Dr Lapraz and Dr Hedayat (see below) for many years. Their interest in endobiogenic medicine was borne from the fact that this clinical medicine model is based on treatment strategies that use primarily phytotherapy (medicinal herbs or botanicals), nutrition and lifestyle changes. More important, endobiogenic medicine gave them tools to tackle the underlying causes of “dis-ease”, and a systematic way of approaching an individual in his or her expression of such “dis-ease” - things that were lacking in the conventional medical model in which they were trained. Aside from providing information, events and training to the public and to medical professionals, EMS’s main aims are to educate the public in order to foster self-responsibility for health (which comes from a better understanding of one's body) and to provide access to alternative treatment options for the increasingly complex health conditions of our times.
