Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi all, I need some sound advice. I have a thriving nutritional cleansing business that provides an organic product line. Since starting my business and seeing the life- changing impact on the health of my customers. These clients, now friends, would not have ever heard of nutritional cleansing had it not been for me being there for them. However, they would not have had such success through the cleansing process without my limited knowledge of physiology and nutrition. I can't help but feel that there is more knowledge I can obtain and a higher level of expertise that would make me that much more effective I have cleansed my body of toxins and seen the numerous health benefits duplicated in clients I have coached over the past year. I have coached clients and seen testimonials to the success of nutritional cleansing. This experience is useful to continue coaching clients; however, I have a weak understanding of the organic mechanisms at work. In order to be the complete cleanse coach and holistic healer I want to be, I feel I should know more about holistic nutrition. My problem is that I am trained in the medical-model of care with a solid background in retail nutrition products. This is obviously not the career track of a holistic healer. I am a manager of a popular retail nutrition store who is totally self-trained by using my knowledge of basic science courses and self-study from references. I had begun training as a physician's assistant in my pursuit of being a healer. I find that this model of care is more about treating symptoms with as many FDA approved toxins than it is about healing disease. I believed that was the only career that would give me the credentials to treat and heal disease. After seeing nutritional cleansing at work in people's lives and comparing it to medical treatment I can not see myself as a healer in the medical-model. So that is where I'm coming from….where am I going?...lol. I am seeking college-level training in holistic nutrition or similar. I'm having difficulty qualifying the integrity of the curriculum in the schools I've looked into. Any accreditations I have found are ambiguous and not affiliated with private post-secondary schools as would any college-level course work I have done in the past. I'm concerned about paying for a title instead of an education by not getting the knowledge that should go with it. Are there online certifications worth completing? Is there an actual career track for my niche? Is there a school that is the Harvard of holistic nutrition? Or am I dreaming of something that just doesn't exist?

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi, you could check out the Global College of Natural Medicine at www.gcnm.com. It is an internet school home study program that I am considering. A friend did their program and was very pleased with it. They offer certificate programs: holistic health practitioner, a nutritional consultant or a master herbalist, or all three; or degree programs.

Did your friend use what they learned? Are they using it in a care setting? Or did they just take the training to increase personal knowledge? I looked at Global. The course descriptions make sense. I think there is a core requirement of college level work also. Algebra is used in mixing solutions so it's nice to see that they intend to use it at least. My big hang-up on that school, as well as all the others I've looked at is that they don't have post secondary board approval. Maybe the board is prohibited from regulating it, I don't know. The most important thing to me is the curricculum. It is one thing to write a great course description but it is so much more important that the knowledge be used for a greater purpose, for me anyway. > In a message dated 2/7/2008 1:23:22 PM Pacific Standard Time, > callthemedic writes: > > Hi all, I need some sound advice. > > I have a thriving nutritional cleansing business that provides an > organic product line.

Here is a quote pasted from their website: Accreditation Bastyr University is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). The NWCCU is an institutional accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. In addition, all of Bastyr University's professional degree programs are accredited by their respective professional accrediting bodies. http://www.bastyr.edu/default.asp elan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
