NAHA Letter ** Or, I'd Prefer to Call it ** NAHA Lack of Standards and Conflict of Interest

[Guest guest]

Hey y'all,

 

This being an AT list primarily, I feel an obligation to follow on with

the peeing contests we have all had with the present NAHA Management -

or should I say, lack of management, since the President, Jade Shutes,

has been in the seat. I was a strong supporter of NAHA in years past,

but I could no longer give my support when they became, in my opinion,

inefficient, ineffective, and worse than that .. unethical. Those who

are on the Idma List have seen my public condemnation of Jade Shutes and

the organization .. those who are not on it should understand that they

are missing something because even though it is not a list for the thin

skinned, it is a list where the so-called professionals congregate and

if you wanna be a so-called professional, you oughta hear what is going

down. Below is a post sent to the Idma List a few minutes ago - it is

one of the milder condemnations of the NAHA poistion now .. but still, I

give Stacey credit for coming out.

 

There were a couple of nurses who did a super-fine job of researching

and preparing a study on Raindrop Therapy .. and they forced NAHA to

post a position paper on Raindrop Therapy .. what some of us call

Snowbank Therapy .. ;-p but NAHA wimped out and laid an intro letter

in the voting process that is no less than total Conflict of Interest ..

Kathleen can tell us about this too .. and she will I think in the next

issue of her on-line pub.

 

Anyway .. I present this because of my great CONTEMPT for the present

management structure of the totally inefficient and ineffective (and in

my opinion, totally compromised) organization called the National Assoc.

of Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA) .. ;-( Butch

Hey Stacey,

 

Shame on you for asking all these tough questions to NAHA management.

 

Don't you know that as an outsider, you are not supposed to be asking

such things to the organization that claims to be representing American

aromatherapists?

 

Don't you know that you are also getting into an area that is really

off-limits to aromatherapy practitioners .. that of development of the

aromatherapy practitioner standards that are being tested by the ARC?

 

Don't you know that you are forcing NAHA management to ignore your post

because there are no valid answers that could be presented on a list

that is read by folks who didn't come into the business yesterday.

 

Shame on you Stacey .. you are nothing but a danged California Trouble

Making Valley Gal ... ;-p

 

Y'all keep smiling, Butch http://www.AV-AAT.com

 

PS: Don't hold your breath waiting for a NAHA reply to your post.

?
