Why do so many herbalists seem to focus so much on the “hocus pocus” of herbs and so little on the actual science of herbal remedies?  My name is Lisa Barger and, like you, I know all too well how hard it is to find quality web sites dealing with herbs, herbal remedies and natural health.

Welcome to LisaBarger.com.  Whether you’re new to herbal remedies or you’re old hat when it comes to medicinal plants, I’ll help you find the information you need to make an informed, empowered decision about your own health, the products you buy and even those informercials you see on late-night television.

What do most herbal web sites have in common? I’m glad you asked:

• They’re run by what I call “one-book experts” with little to no formal training in herbs, natural healing or alternative therapies.
• The people are running them are little more than sales reps for multi-level-marketing companies hawking over-priced supplements.
• And very worst are heavily linked to affiliate programs and are designed not to educate you but to “presell” you on some new miracle cure.

And have you noticed the jaw-dropping growth of mass article sites that give advice on everything from changing your car’s oil to giving emergency surgery? They’re no better. In fact, they may be worse:

• They will hire anyone—regardless of education or training to give medical advice.
• Most of those articles are just re-writes of things people like me wrote. Or they’re rewrites of something the writer looked up on Wikipedia.
• Most of people writing for those sites don’t even use a real name. There’s NO credibility and no one to hold accountable.

You’ll find none of that here.  What you will find is the information you can take to your doctor.  Information that will allow you to have an open, intelligent dialogue with your healthcare professional.  No sales spiel, no propaganda.

Let’s be honest—perhaps even painfully honest. There’s a lot of bad advice out there when it comes to herbal remedies and no shortage of web sites that’ll hire anyone with a computer and an internet connection to bang out a re-write of something they read on WebMD or Wikipedia. But for good information you need a real expert. Let me give you an alternative to the “studies show” and “they say” nonsense.

Herbal medicine can be real medicine.  Let me show you what I mean when I say, “Here at LisaBarger.com, we hold herbs and herbal remedies to a higher standard.”
