Re - Now Educational Standards-NAHA

[Guest guest]

Hi Sylla,

 

Hope you pick this up while on vacation and it does not spoil it.

 

I see very little changed. The only reason people keep NAHA alive is as a sales

medium and so members running courses can offer their students a membership

organisation. It even still includes those people who caused all the major

problems in the past. Any honest organisation who experienced the kind of

problems NAHA had, would have shut down and started afresh with new leaders.

NAHA leaders chose not to take the reputable course.

 

It takes ads from companies providing illegal medicinal claims for their oils,

but with of course NAHA cover-your-back weasel clauses. That is a dishonest way

of raising funds.

 

One example:

http://www.essentialwholesale.com

 

I have left IN only the wrong physical condition claims:

 

" Cypress Essential Oil (Cupressus sempervirens)

varicose veins, hemorrhoids,*** This is the action of the herb.

 

menstrual problems,**** Like what? fibroids, excess bleeding, cancer perhaps?

 

fluid retention, cellulite, **** beauty trade hype to get sales.

 

Astringent,**** CRAP typical aromatherapy novel mistake!!

 

antibiotic. **** No essential oil is an antibiotic.

 

Reduces excess sweating and overly oily complexions. *** The action of the herb.

 

stimulates cell regeneration.**** Beauty therapy hype to get sales from gullible

people.

 

may increase pancreatic stimulant, *** Dangerous and wrong.

 

decongest prostate " .******** Dangerous nonsense and so wrong.

 

The same old tired crap based on the use of the herb NOT the essential oil. With

most of these attributes taken out of old aromatherapy books.

all the complaints you have about either can surely be addressed without

attacking and derogatory comments.

know. Kelly Holland Azzarro has done a fabulous job first by listening and

implementing a lot of new policies as VP, and now as President she is tightening

up the educational approval requirements as well, and such things as

advertisers/articles using the 'therareutic' notation for grading, etc. and

anything resembling multi level companies, etc. I have continued on as Chair of

the Safety committee, with input from Tony Burfield we have done a lot of good

work, availible to public on undiluted use, etc; we are collecting data on

injuries and the site hosts a ton of wonderful articles on all subjects, not to

mention they are the continued single supporter spreading the word in support of

the UAE (since 2001), their press releases produce results. Finally they are the

clearing house for info, anyone seeking info on aromatherapy ends up on the

site-we get a lot of interview requests, we answer a lot of questions, and do a

lot of good.

Hello Martin

 

Nothing could spoil my vaca and having some time with my Jim, having my eyes

opened about Afghanistan and appreciating life. !!

 

Of course you still pick on the little things that NAHA has no control, what

member companies say on their oils - for Gosh sake naha is not the POLICE!! and

they have nothing to do with what people put on their sites and cannot patrol

that, no organization can or will, so you could pick on them all day long for

that and continue your rampage. Again Im not here to argue but if you have a

beef, dont single out any one org because any org that supports companies will

have those that make those claims. NAHA has taken a stand on many issues, such

as undiluted use and making use of the term therapeutic in articles. Tony and

Kendra did such a swell article on that, btw, so if you want to pick out all the

companies that are members, and all the schools go ahead and focus on that.

There is lots more on the site, journals and e-classes of value, but of course

you overlook all the good stuff to make your point, this is how you work. True,

it will take some time to make all the changes you suggest, there is no reason

to shut down a perfectly good org because Martin Watt disagrees!!. Again, we

have had new leaders for a long time and slowly things are changing; Im sorry

you can only look for nit picking negative things to keep your side up, it is OK

I am used to your ways but Im not picking up my end of the rope here!!

 

have a great day

 

Sylla
