I transcribed the following from over 7 hours of tapes which I recorded at the Workshop. I just want to take this opportunity to thank all of them. The effects of what happened there in those two days will be felt for years to come. I’m holding them personally responsible for all of the good that came out of the Workshop. They are some of the most dedicated, hard-working, caring people I have ever met. Their organization should be very proud of the incredible job they did organizing and putting on the Workshop. I’m saving the best for the last – the staff of the Meals for Millions/Freedom From Hunger Foundation/Southwest Program: Gary Nabhan – Project Manager Cynthia Anson – SW Program Director Mahina Drees – Conservancy Garden Coordinator Susie Terrence – Urban Community Gardens Project Manager Jane Nyhuis – MFM Horticulturalist and Mary Wolken – Coordinator. I met so many people so quickly that I know I’m leaving some out and I hope they will forgive me. Robert Bye – Ethnobotanist currently working in Mexico. Richard Felger – Ethnobotanist and Senior Research Scientist at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and Dr. Howard Scott Gentry – retired USDA plant explorer presently working with NEWCAST at Arizona State Univ.

It was so incredible that I was even a little down just because it was over. I came away riding a warm wave of friendship and enthusiasm like I have never felt before.
I would be surprised if there is ever another that even closely resembles it. I recently had the pleasure of being part of a unique workshop that was held in Tucson on October 13 and 14. GC/MS is capable of measuring exact levels of the substance found in the sample and is typically used to confirm a positive result.By Kent Whealy Seed Banks Serving People Workshop It detects whether the substance is in the system by measuring drug levels in nanograms per milliliter with either a positive or negative result. Immunoassay does not measure the substance levels individually. Our lab uses two types of urine drug screening, immunoassay and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, or GC/MS. When the sample is collected, the laboratory technician, nurse, or physician will label the sample to be evaluated by Harvest Labs. Before urinating, the patient will wipe the urethral orifice to ensure the sample is not contaminated with foreign materials. The patient will need to have thoroughly washed hands before opening the collection cup. Medical professionals obtain urine samples from patients using clean-catch midstream urine collection. Toxicology tests, or tox screens, can detect a specifically targeted substance or up to 80 substances at once.
The test is performed to evaluate patients prior to receiving medicine therapy, patients in substance abuse recovery, patients displaying deviant drug behavior, obstetric patients, and patients using controlled medications. Urine toxicology is the process of screening urine to determine the type and relative amount of legal and illegal substances a person has consumed.
