Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 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. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 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 - " c_and_c_27 " <c_and_c_27 Monday, September 06, 2004 7:18 PM Question - Alternative medicine education > I have a cousin that will be ready to go to college in a year.
