FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LLOYD LIBRARY AND MUSEUM ANNOUNCES "A WEEKEND WITH THE LLOYD" - ITS
FIRST SCIENTIFIC SYMPOSIUM: BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN ALTERNATIVE AND
CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE with a MEDICINAL BOTANY WALK

 

Cincinnati, OH - September 12, 2013: The Lloyd Library and Museum is
pleased to announce the occasion of its first major scientific symposium
in Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 12, 2013.  "Bridging the Gap between
Alternative and Conventional Medicine" will explore the complicated
issue of using herbal and other natural remedies in a society that has
long relied on conventional medical practices.  Alternative, sometimes
referred to as Traditional, medicine tends to approach health from an
entirely different perspective, looking to prevent rather than having to
cure.  However, the two medical practices can and do work together, and
there is a way to integrate the two methods to obtain optimum health.

 

The Lloyd is bringing to Cincinnati some of the biggest advocates for
herbal and natural medicine, including: Mark Blumenthal, Founder and
Executive Director of the American Botanical Council; Roy Upton,
Executive Director of the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia (r); and Sheila
Kingsbury, professor of Medical Botany at Bastyr University.  They will
speak along with local naturopathic physician Lisa Gallagher, N.D. of
the Alliance Institute for Integrative Medicine (Cincinnati).  Jan
Scaglione, Clinical Toxicologist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital
Medical Center and Cincinnati Drug and Poison Control Center, will serve
as moderator in an open afternoon session, facilitating interaction
between the speakers and audience.  Attendees can expect to come away
with a better understanding of the alternative therapies available and
how to integrate natural medicines with their routine medical care to
achieve a healthier lifestyle.

 

This engaging event begins at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 12, 2013,
ending at 3:00 p.m. the same day.  Registration for the event is $50 and
includes light continental breakfast and afternoon snacks.  Registration
deadline is October 1, 2013.

 

On October 13, 2013, a Lloyd representative along with local
herbalist/botanist Abby Artemisia will lead a medicinal botany hike at
the Curtis Gates Lloyd Wildlife Management Area (CGLWMA) in Crittenden,
Kentucky.  Walk begins at 10:30 a.m. at the CGLWMA and ends at 12:30
p.m.  Cost for this educational and fun event is $25.00.  Registration
deadline is October 1, 2013.

 

Space is limited for both dates.  Combined registration for both events
is only $65.00.  Details about the speakers and weekend's events can be
found on the Lloyd Library and Museum website, 
www.lloydlibrary.org/symposium.html.
