In October 2002, Iris Sylvia received her Chartered Herbalist Diploma from Dominion Herbal College in British Columbia, Canada. This course is the foundation course in North American Herbal studies and has students worldwide. Some notable alumni include Dr. Bernard Jensen, Dr. John Christopher, Jethro Kloss and Dr. Earl Mindell. Dominion Herbal College is an Accredited and Registered Private Post Secondary Institution. It was founded in 1926 by a naturopathic physican, Dr. Herbert Nowell. The objectives are to promote health, help diminish human suffering, help prevent sickness by offering knowledge about safe and effective herbal solutions, and thereby to lessen the expense of maintaining health to the individual and the community. It is not intended to produce practitioners who will attempt to replace conventional (Western) physicians, but rather to produce competent professionals in the field of herbal therapy.

Iris is a Certified Herbal Extract Specialist, certified by the Carolina Natural Health Institute. She was born in Colorado where she spent most of her life. At the age of eleven, she began working after school at her family's music business. Upon graduating high school in the top ten percent of her class, Iris Sylvia majored in Business Administration. She has three grown children. For twenty-eight years now, Iris Sylvia has committed herself to the pursuit of knowledge relating to herbal remedies and other alternative methods of allowing ourselves the freedom to choose. Freedom to choose: The most valuable individual possession we have. Ms. Sylvia says, "Securing freedom is a frightening thing for most people. It is so much easier to let someone else be responsible for our health. Please be brave. You know more about you than anyone else."  You will find a link to the Pure Herbs' website below.
