DescriptionGrantsExpenses
RESEARCH PROGRAM The Pine Street Foundation conducts meta-analyses and clinical trials in collaboration with researchers from around the world. Meta-analysis is a method of systematically selecting relevant primary research, appraising its quality, and synthesizing the results to arrive at a summary conclusion. In our meta-analysis program, we systematically review past clinical trials to evaluate and substantiate the effectiveness of integrative treatment protocols for a wide range of illnesses. Most recently, our reviews have focused on integrative treatments for some of the most common forms of cancer where conventional treatments have had more limited success.RESEARCH ARTICLES PUBLISHED IN 2015:Baak, J., M. F. McCulloch and C. H. Hempen (2015). "TCM in Metastatic Lung Cancer: Prognosis and Complementary Treatment of Advanced Pulmonary Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)." Eastern Journal of Oriental Medicine 8(2): 8-24.McCulloch, M., A. Nachat, J. Schwartz, V. Casella-Gordon and J. Cook (2015). "Acupuncture safety in patients receiving anticoagulants: a systematic review." Perm J 19(1): 68-73.CONFERENCES PRESENTATIONS IN 2015:EcoFarm 2015, Monterey, CA: Chinese Medicinal Herbs: An Emergent Organic MarketThe expanding use of herbal medicine has greatly stimulated U.S. consumption of traditional Chinese herbs. However, tests of herbs grown in China show significant contamination from pesticides and heavy metals. This creates a great opportunity for U.S. organic growers of all scales to produce Chinese medicinal herbs for domestic and global markets. Michael McCulloch, long-time practitioner of Chinese herbal therapy, discussed which herbs can best be grown in the U.S. and how growers can participate in this developing market. Peg Schafer, an organic grower of Chinese medicinal herbs and author of The Chinese Medicinal Herb Farm: A Cultivators Guide to Small-Scale Herb Raising, detailed specific growing practices for the herbs in increasing demand.$12,523-
