Dr Graham Pinn is a retired Consultant Physician, ex Nambour Hospital. He has worked in 10 countries, several with their own traditional medicines. Something like half modern medicine, including some for diabetes, heart disease, cholesterol, anti-biotics and cancer are derived from nature, with more to be discovered. He has written widely on these topics, for both professional and lay publications. There is much misinformation from health companies about the benefits of plants and supplements, misinformation which costs purchasers money and needs correction.
