Lynn Shumake, P.D.
NATURAL MEDICINE PHARMACIST
Background
& Experience
Lynn's professional training has included I.V.
Admixture Programs, Nutritional Support Services, Managed Care systems,
Home Infusion, and Pharmacy Administrative
positions at Johns Hopkins
Hospital and the University of Maryland Medical System. Lynn's natural
products and medical herbalism training has occurred through extensive

Treatment Philosophy
As
a certified compounder within the pharmacy profession and a student of
natural medicine, I seek to bridge the gap between traditional and
conventional medicine making. I practice as a holistic
pharmacist with a
natural medicine background, counseling clients in their use of
allopathic medicines as well as natural remedies.
I specialize in customized
compounding. I combine herbs to make formulas that specifically address
individualized needs. These compounds are freshly prepared from
wildcrafted medicinal herbs, or weeds, in the Howard County area.
Remember..."one man's weed is
another man's medicine." I frequently remind folks that
healthcare begins in the garden; healthy plants lead
to healthy people; healthy people lead to a healthier
society..
I am committed to insuring that
my clients receive quality products from healthy medicinal plants."
Education
Lynn
has a Bachelor of Science degree in pharmacy from St. Louis College of
Pharmacy, a Residency from Boston's New England Medical Center, and a
Master's Psychology Degree in Applied Behavioral Sciences from Johns
Hopkins University.
