Michael Moore (herbalist)Michael Moore is a medicinal herbalist, author of several reference works on botanical medicine, and founder of the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine (SWSBM). Before he was an herbalist Michael Moore was a musician and a composer. [1] He operated the SWSBM as a residency program for 28 years, first in Albuquerque, New Mexico and later in Bisbee, Arizona For decades, Moore influenced, impacted, taught, reached one way or another more practicing herbalists than any other living herbalist in the United States. His books put the previously unknown materia medica of the southwest into mainstream botanical medicine. [2] Additional recommended knowledge
Resources Revived By MooreMichael Moore's web site is a major resource of historical material from the eclectics and physiomedicalists, of hundreds of plant images and data as well as SWSBM teaching materials. Moore was a major contributor in the revival of many historical texts of botanical medicine which had been lost to the general public. In 1990 Moore visited the Lloyd Library and Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio, where, in the basement, he found the accumulated libraries of all of the Eclectic medical schools, shipped off to the Eclectic Medical College as they closed. Finally, even the E.M.C. died (closed in 1939 leaving only the writings of a discipline of medicine that survived for a century, known for its vast plant materia medica, and a vitalist theory that treated the patient and NOT the pathology. The material he published from the eclectics, Thompsonian medicalists and physiomedicalists includes [3]:

In the latter part of 2006, dealing with worsening chronic ill health, including serious renal and cardiac concerns, he required hospitalization for peritonitis, surgery, intensive care and rehabilitation as well as machine hemodialysis. In response the American Herbalist Guild Medical Trust Fund was specifically set up to provide a tax deductable donating mechanism for funding medical care of herbalists in need. Michael Moore was the first recipient of such funding.[4] PublicationsBOOKS: Medicinal Plants of the Mountain West (2nd Edition) Medicinal Plants of the Desert and Canyon West Los Remedios Medicinal Plants of the Pacific West Healing Herbs of the Upper Rio Grande (Edited and Revised) Herbs for the Urinary Tract SWSBM Clinical Manuals in hard copy VIDEOS: MEDICINAL PLANTS: in the field with MICHAEL MOORE Volume 1.
