Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I think it's important to remember that we don't treat disease. We direct energy. As for training and license, I also did not wish to produce a bachelors degree to get into OCOM or PCOM and then spend 4 more years to have a license that allows me to do the same as a stock boy especially at 50 and after 25 years of practicing. The important thing is the client knows you have some qualification. I feel I was fortunate to find NHI in Encinitas and get certified by a school and teacher that are state certified. At least this gives my clients confidence that I have some verifiable training.
