More and more physicians are open to an integrative or multi-dimensional approach to medicine. If you have a physician, it is a good idea to inform him/her of your decision to consult a Bionetics practitioner who uses homeopathic remedies and nutritional recommendations as part of your wellness program.

Slaked lime putty is quicklime (burned limestone) that has been mixed with water and allowed to age. Slaked lime putty for frescoes is finer than regular slaked lime, and it's been aged longer in order to make it smoother. This is crucial for frescoe work, which depends on very smooth surfaces.
