Question - Alternative medicine education

[Guest guest]

I have a cousin that will be ready to go to college in a year. She

is in latin america right now, but would like to study here in the

US. While alternative medicine is the path she wants to take, she

also wants to study conventional medicine. I ahve been researching

in the internet, but I do not find a college where they teach BOTH

conventional and alternative medicine. Is there such a place?

Where is the best place to do this? If not, what are her options.

She is 17 years old, and again, will be ready for college in a year.

 

I know that the " best college " is subjective, but please enlight me

and let me know which are the most famous, known or the one with the

best reputation. Again, I am looking for places anywhere in the US.

Hi Everyone,

 

I 'm new to the group and have just been 'lingering' but feel I

should respond to Christian's query. I have been in 'conventional'

healthcare for 20 years and though that is where my income comes from

I DO have a living will that prohibits any 'conventional' treatment.

We do not have a 'healthCARE system' - it is a highly inappropriate,

for-profit industry that places a dollar value on human life and is

enabled by the government. I don't think a 17 year old has the

knowledge at this point to know what she wants. You cannot study both

in the same place. Naturopathy and conventional medicine are 2

different animals and neither believes in what the other is doing.

For instance, conventional medicine (allopathy) believes in treating

opposite to the symptom. Homeopathy treats like with like. The

prerequisites are the same for both so by the time your cousin

graduates with the appropriate prerequisites she can investigate both

and take direction from what she learns. I'd like to add that the

number 1 killer in the U.S. is not heart disease, etc., but medical

errors. Taxpayers pay $282 million dollars a year for inappropriate

hospitalizations, medical errors and other related 'conventional'

medicine 'oops'.' The third leading cause of death in the U.S. is,

excluding other healthcare pros, doctors. Medicine ain't what it used

to be or SHOULD be. She would, in my opinion, do better in medical

malpractice (LOL.) Unfortunately, doctors are going the route of

lawyers.

My son went to Logan College of Chiropractic in the St. Louis Missouri

area. Very good medical base. Anatomy in particular. One could get a

Chiropractic base knowledge and then add Homeopathy or Naturepathy, or

Accupunture/Oriental medicine. India /aruvedic medicine is also an option.

In South America it would be good to find Native healers and learn what they

have to offer...NG
