Pioneer Practitioners


Pioneers lead the way for others and we have a program to highlight their work.  In time the most promising of these practical applications will then be subjected to rigorous scientific inquiry to establish their validity. We want all people who think they have learned something valuable to submit their experience.

We have developed a form by which practitioners can share their experiences with all.
