Natural Health Consultant Program

Many conventional medical doctors, including the doctor who treats the Queen of England, have turned to a study of natural health alternatives. No one is minimizing the benefits of Western medicine, with its skillfully developed surgical techniques and other life saving measures. However, a great many people are discovering that some of the areas where Western medicine has failed to perform successfully respond well to other approaches.

This new, broadened perspective has led to many new opportunities for people interested in medicine and health. Perhaps the most multifaceted of these is that of natural health consultant.   Request free career training information today!

What is a natural health consultant? Put simply, he or she is a person who has a broad understanding of the several disciplines that fall under the heading of "natural medicine." This includes homeopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic therapy, osteopathy, medical herbalism, and other similar or closely related approaches.

The natural health consultant is not necessarily an expert, nor a practitioner, in any of these fields. However, the consultant’s expansive knowledge about the capabilities of all these fields allows them to explain natural health options to people, advise them on which discipline might be an appropriate starting point, and assist them in being referred to those who can provide the necessary treatments.

In keeping with its tradition of providing career training geared for today’s opportunities, Stratford’s new Natural Health Consultant Program will be of great value to those who are working or plan to work in the fields of natural medicine, herbal remedies, or health foods. Furthermore, it will be of interest to many physicians and practitioners of traditional medicine who wish to broaden their understanding of these emerging fields. Indeed, the material is so significant that we find many students enroll simply out of concern for their own personal health, and desire to become wiser about alternative health care services.

The Stratford natural health consultant diploma program is offered through guided independent study. You work at home, using specially prepared materials. The up-to-date textbooks selected for this program are considered to be the finest available in this field.
