Join Tim Ray and Shannon McVey as they discuss homeopathy. Why isn't holistic treatment famous or popular in the mainstream? What are the benefits of being treated holistically? Do these treatments even work? These questions and more will be answered as they speak with the Executive Director and Director of Government Relations for the International Chiropractors Association (ICA), Ms. Beth Clay, along with Dr. Lee Cowden.
