Practicing Naturopathy

[Guest guest]

Welllllllllll hon, actually herbs and nutrition are the true Naturopathic Medicines. Colleges like Bastyr have bastardized this over the years because of Big Pharma infiltrations and takeovers. Thanks to the Medicos, the Psychs, and Big Pharma a lot of confusion has been thrown into the whole field of Healing.

 

The following are all Naturopathic Sciences since they address the "CAUSES" of disease. These are leaders in the field of the Healing Arts and of course are always "On Topic" on Herbal Remedies.

 

1. Chiropractic: (Handles all Skeletal related "CAUSES").

2. Dianetics: (Handles the primary CAUSE of ALL Mental disorders and STRESS).

3. Herbalism: (Uses Bio-Chemistry to handle body STOPPAGES).

4. Homeopathy: ("Like handles Like" Using minute dosages to stimulate and fire up the body's defences and immune system).

5. Accupuncture and Accupressure: (Both of these blow ridges and stops on the body's communication channels, specifically along the nervous system).

6. Hydrotherapy: (Hot and Cold Water Therapy opens up every system of the body).

7. Exercise: (Stimulates every organ, gland and system in the body).

8. Massage Therapy: (Again, blows stoppages and opens up flows in the body).

9. Nutrition: (Proper nutrition = proper fuel for the body to run on).

10. Sunlight & Clean Air: (Sungazing, deep breathing, etc. are all natural healing methods).

11. Lifestyle Changes: (Changes in Jobs, Relationships, Physical Habits, can all be naturally beneficial).

12. Confront Drills, Self Affirmation, Meditation, & Prayer: (All natural methods for spiritual enhancement. A lot more could be said on this subject and in actuality, it is the most important of the above 12 points, but since this is a completely private and personal matter no more will be said on this on HR).

 

As mentioned in an earlier post, the absolute best school out there for doing correspondence courses on Herbalism is Doc Christopher's "School of Natural Healing". The others don't even come close.

Doc, There was a time that I considered naturopathic medicine. However, I have since discovered that herbs and nutrition are what interest me the most - an what I've had the most success with. So, my question is this. What is the best way to go about becoming an herbalist, or at least assessing the quality of an online course? I am not concerned about licensure, because I plan on becoming a nutritionist or ethnobotanist (long story, but the short of it is that my education options depend on where I will be living) The main thing is I want to teach and write about herbs. Like breastfeeding advocacy - I feel that education is the key. The more educated consumers are, the quicker the tides will change back to a more natural way of doing things.

Dear Veronica,

 

The problem here in Florida is that the Medicos have it all sewed up. Florida, being the geriatric capitol of the world has the tightest laws, giving the Medicos an almost complete monopoly here.

 

The trick is to not be giving "medical advice". We had a naturopath in Safety Harbor (5 miles from me) who was set up (a sting operation), and she ended up in jail for a couple of days sharing a cell with winos, junkies, and prostitutes. She is still fighting this battle in the Florida courts.

 

I don't recommend licensure at all. One simply needs to keep one's consultations educational = a classroom experience rather than on a diagnosis / consultation basis. I have the "law" somewhere in my files, and if you're truly interested, I could find it and post it to the list, but it makes for awful boring reading, and in a nut shell it states that no one may practice Naturopathy without a license here in the state of Florida. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut, there hasn't been a new license issued in over 30 years. Nice trick.

 

The word "Doctor" comes from the Latin, "Docare" which means, "To Teach", and so far there is no law against "teaching" anyone anything. But don't try it on a one to one basis, or you'll be set up as Anita was. Small groups of "students" is the way to go, and make sure you know a couple of them personally so as to have witnesses.

 

Another viewpoint is, "Why would you want to be licensed by a system that is corrupt and failing??????"

 

Hope this helps.

 

In Health, Freedom, and Love,

 

Doc

Hi Laurel,I was looking at that last night about the NaturalHealth Consulting. That is actually something that Iwas looking into. I was trying to find out how I couldgo about getting licensing and everything for naturalhealth consulting here in Florida but didn't seeanything when I went on the myflorida.com site oranything else that I thought I would have been able tofind it. Maybe I overlooked it or something. I'll keeplooking until I find it! Thanks!Veronica____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ __ http://mail.
