A petition for herbal medicine to be officially recognized as a specialty in veterinary medicine has cleared the first hurdle: recognition by officials at the American Board of Veterinary Specialists.

Meacham Rd, Suite 100, Schaumburg, IL, 60173.
pdf file of the letter to download and/or print
or download a petition, have people sign it, then send to Mr. Banasiak
