If you want authoritative information on the field(s) of natural
medicine and know that some deep healing has to occur in our
world, then you might be interested in IBIS and AMR'TA.
 We are the Alchemical Medicine Research and Teaching
Association, a non-profit association dedicated to the study
and refinement of medicine with an openness to the
unconventional and an inclination to the natural. 
 We have produced a gigantic software reference tool
