Miguel A. Cisneros-Abreu,
Founder of A-CAM and the American Apothecaries
For the past 25 years, he has been researching, educating, and practicing the therapeutic uses of Plant Essentials Oils and related herbs in Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM). His studies have taken him from the earliest healing method, Smoke Medicine (early Aromatherapy) to today's A-CAM Practitioner.
For the past 15 years, he has been developing and teaching the A-CAM Practitioners Certification Course to every level of the health care community. Creating the A-CAM Protocols of Practice, for an evolving effectual profession for today's health needs. As an enthusiastic speaker and a pioneer in the practice of Aromatherapy in Complementary Alternative Medicine (A-CAM), he brings to his audience a wealth of information pertaining to today's health care and health maintenance. Presented, to the point, in an interactive format, geared to everyone's health benefits. His information is based on scientific validation, historical uses, anecdotal information and common sense. At present, he is working on a new book; Uncommon Sense; Death by Air, by Water, by Self. And Common Sense Solutions, IBSN 0-9700452-4-7, to be completed sometime in 2007.
Today, you can see Miguel as the host of a daily television program, La Botica de Miguel, bringing a wealth of information to Spanish audiences, from Argentina to Canada, to Spain, exposing Aromatherapy neither New Age nor 100% alternative, but rather as a valuable complement to today's health care. A-CAM means working synergistically for the health of the World.
A-CAM is at a moment of evolution and well on the road to becoming a valuable complement to all known therapies. Whatever therapy is being practiced, the sense of smell, with direct influences on; memory, emotions, sex, appetite and survival behavior is being overlooked, if the benefits of A-CAM is not jointly practiced.
