Where and how can I study complementary/alternative medicine?

We Answered:

If you become a nurse, you can help people, but you will be focused on RELIEVING SYMPTOMS, not health. Health building comes from an understanding of nutrition. Drug companies are running the medical system now and make the decisions in regard to what drugs can and cannot be used. Their primary focus is PROFIT, not health, this is why they focus on relieving symptoms. Stay sick, but feel better. That is where the money is.

There are many areas of nutrition you can pursue, but being a dietician is NOT the best one because all you will do is assist a doctor in recommending a diet based on the doctor's opinion. Doctors are not trained in nutrition. Just look at hospital food if you want proof of that.

Nutritional Therapy is a far better way to study nutrition because you are not limited to typical dietary programs that are way off the mark in many cases. In nutritional therapy you learn how to test for nutritional deficiencies and learn how the body works. You will end up educating doctors and medical people about nutrition and actually help people focus on real health. It is very rewarding to see people get well from many diseases, even many the medical community feels is incurable because all they have as weapons is drugs and surgery.

good luck to you

How might the use of a Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) model serve as a paradigm shift?

We Answered:

advantage of using comlementary & alterntive medicine is will help accelerate healing process without any side effects which is seen in allopathy.

To illustrate this point, let me explain is a patient is applied Pranic Healing. In pranic healing a patient is first cleansed from diseased energy and energiesed with healthy prana without any physical contact with patient. this will help the patient to feel better immediately and recover rapidly. Hence alternative medicine like pranic healing should be encouraged all over the world. this will save money / time and helps patient to recover faster

Edwin Said:

nutritionists and dietitians classified as complementary and alternative medicine?

We Answered:

I'd say no.
Dieticians follow the medical model and are very research based in their approach to diet. Recomendations change regularly as new research comes to light.
Fat used to be our enemy. Now some fats have been established as good for you and others not.
Pregnant women used to be advised to eat Liver as its full of iron.....
....Its also full of vitamin A which can cause physical deformities in fetuses so is no longer recomended.
Margerine was promoted in favour of butter now its gone back to butter....


To become a dietician takes some doing and registration is required.
Anyone can be a nutritionist.
