Is there anybody here who graduated in Canada or U.S.? I would like to get the first hand info about the quality of the studies, what areas of studies are in demand and how hard or easy is to find a job and where to look for a job. What are the typical salaries? My only concern with the alternative health care and education is that nothing is built in the stone (the treatments may vary and every day a "new" treatment is discovered). Any input will be appreciated!- Re: Alternative Health Education in ... Lynn Hardy

Hello Nancy,
I'm the director of the Global Insitute For Alternative Medicine (see: www.gifam.org). We have many students from the US and Canada. We find, that most of our graduates end up in their own private practice. You are correct in saying that nothing is built in stone and I believe that as an alternative health practitioner it is very important to keep up with the latest developments. At the same time, you need a strong foundation to build on and the fundamental basis of holistic health will always remain the same:
1) Eat wholesome healthy foods in natural states whenever possible
2) Stay away from harmful chemicals
3) Detoxify your body on a regular basis
4) Use natural medicine as much as possible to assist the body in healing itself
5) Exercise and get fresh air each day
These may seem like simple things but you'd be surprised how little most people know about truly living a healthy life. Please feel free to contact me directly if I can be of further help. You may also wish to visit our website where you'll find lots of information and some great articles. www.gifam.org
All the best!

This is a reply to # 453,081Thanks Lynn.
I have a couple more questions: How are the alternative health practitioners protected once they start their practice (liability issues etc...). I looked at your website and noticed several online courses available. Are these courses fully certified (it is mentioned somewhere on the page that you can't practice after the completion of these courses, they are just for educational purposes only...). Is that true? Are you planning to expand these courses (to introduce the iridology for instance)? In an essence what is really required to become a fully certified/licenced practitioner? I am also interested in obtaining the ND diploma, but here in Ottawa there is no school available (Toronto only) and I can't move at this point.

I'd be curious to know where on our website you saw that you "can't practice after the completion of these courses, they are just for educational purposes only". This is definitely not true. As far as certification and licensing goes, while nutritionists and NDs are regulated in many states and provinces, herbology and holistic health generally fall outside this scope. Our graduates qualify for board certification through the American Association of Drugless Practitioner.
Regarding the Iridology program, we are putting one together and it should be available shortly.
ND education is completely different from what we are offering. It entails four years of attending a Naturopathic College.
I will be leaving for vacation today but should you have any further questions, please feel free to call our office at 1-800-605-6520.
All the best,
Lynn Hardy

This is a reply to # 453,083Hi Lynn,
Thank you very much for the reply. It was very helpfull.
The sentence I found is: "I understand that the certification I receive from GIFAM does not qualify me to practice medicine, nor does it guarantee employment for my behalf. I agree to use my knowledge and certificate according to the applicable laws in the state where I reside". Sorry for my misrepresentation.
Nancy

Why don't you write to Dr. Dale Loewen in Williams Lake BC.
He was a GP for 22 years before going into natural medicine. His office is called Total Health Centre. I'm sure he could give you lots of info and answer any questions you may have. This is what the College of Physicians in BC do. http://www.cpsbc.bc.ca/press/2003-10-17_loewen.htm I met him because of a heart attack in 1989. He took me off the drugs and we did chelation therapy with EDTA. I had real problems with the drugs but they all went away. I'm now on nothing and have completed my 61st journey around the sun. If it wasn't for this man I'd be dying of Canada's great health care system. Stay with natural medicine--it works!
