Ashley Hill, M.D. > dahmd@gate.net Since I breed horses (no I have never collected their urine, except mixed with shavings) I understand not wanting to take premarin - what I've read about the collection methods is truly a horrible way to treat these intelligent, sensitive animals who epitomize power, grace and freedom, but ... what is the difference between wild yams and tame yams? BTW, I'm not against alternative medicine, I'd just like to know more. At any rate, eating yams is a lot better for you than McDonalds french fries (IMHO, this is why people prefer "natural" - medication generally has the potential for side effects, while good nutrition dosen't and may help you avoid problems in the first place).

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
