How do homeopathic medicine schools even get accredited?

We Answered:

A Homeopathic Dr, is still an "M.D.", they have to pass the same tests as any "M.D.", the type of practice that they run does have some validity to it. Any other Dr. will still respect them as an equal, and an "M.D." ! He can perform "Emergency Medicine" in the "E.R." with the best of them, he's not going to rub Herbs on their forehead's to stop the bleeding, he's going to do it the same as ANY other "E.R." Dr. would.

Is there an on-line school for Massage or Homeopathic Medicine?

We Answered:

for natural healing tecniques, check out www.claytoncollege.com
for massage, dont think so, since much of the learning is by touch, but you might be able to do some of the scientific classes on line, ie muscular-skelatal classes
good luck

Rank these professions in order of competitive-ness to enter graduate/professional school for them?

We Answered:

1) Medicine - Higher Requirements (3.7+)
2) Dentistry/Optometry - Dentistry has slightly higher requirements than optometry (maybe by .1-.2 gpa higher.) But.. there are nearly 60 schools in the US compared to the 17 optometry schools.
3) Pharmacy - Many schools will allow you to get into pharmacy with 2 years of undergrad as long as you maintain above a 3.6 GPA and a decent PCAT. There are gobs of pharm schools.
4) Law - it depends on how good of a school you want to get into. Typically, good lawyers will come from better schools.
5) Chiropractic & homeopathic = Both are pretty easy to get into. I know people with 3.0 GPAs who got accepted.

BTW, chiropractic medicine isn't a quack job. I've read many medical journals with evidence that chiro works in certain circumstances (for instance, spinal manipulation.) Homeopathic.. is.. a quack field :)

How do I go about seeking education for alternative medicine?

We Answered:

the only school I know of for alternative health are Clayton college and the school of natural healing (herballegacy.com) I think most of the course work can be done online but I know the school of natural healing does require you to go up there for a little while towards the end

here are a few other natural schools I just found

http://www.trade-schools.net/program-dir…

You might become self taught on natural healing and nutrition and maybe become a registered dietitian and then open a practice and incorporate your alternative health knowledge with nutrition counseling to help people with various diseases and health concerns or needs.. Or maybe if you had a degree like that, you could be hired at a place where alternative medicine was practiced.

Oh I just remembered that a lady in my raw food group is getting a master with Dr Gabriel Cousens. (his contact info might be at the video site reversing diabetes raw for 30 days)..she said they just told her an additional title or certification can be added to her degree last week and she was very excited.

What she did was start a meetup group (google.meetup.com to make a group..there is a monthly charge though) like for vegans or raw foodist and then gets to know people at potlucks they have. She then holds nutrition/lecture classes at her house (she also taught a class at the library that was free rental of the space and held a potluck with it mentioning her website to get new people interested who may be eventual customers) and teaches people how to make raw chocolate cakes and seed cheese and stuff like that with samples. She mentioned last week she will be doing individual counseling sessions with people for health concerns. She charges for all these things but the raw food potluck.

She used to have (free) sharing circles where she picked a topic like say probiotics or vegetables or how to handle relatives who are worried about eating only raw food and stuff like that..everyone takes a turn talking and they were really fun and interesting but she recently stopped them...this in essence is increasing her knowledge, getting her name out there and building a future client base.

You know kind of like a teacher getting a degree and then opening a home day care with planned activities using her teaching credentials to charge a little more. Like self employed.

Chiropractors often use a LOT of alternative health advice in the course of their treatments and just people talking about their health problems gives you an opportunity to talk about herbs and what not.

Personally I would not go to a homeopathic school as many people think it is not legit including for the most part me and I am extremely into alternative health. a naturopath uses a lot more modalities like hydrotherapy, nutrition, exercise, massage, herbs, etc.

You might be helped taking courses like medical students take their first few years in college to get the basis in biology, functions of the body etc. till you figure out what you want to do. See if you can get a copy of the courses at the school of natural healing or Clayton college to see what the prerequisites might be or if you can get a head start by taking some of these classes at your school but they may not transfer.

Remember one can use alternative health to help others without making that your career if they study on their own, one can also write books and help in that way, I have a degree in elementary education but I know a lot about alternative health and help thousands of people on line and those I run into in real life.

I highly recommend that you email me for the links to the save your life videos and manual..this man trained with the founder of the school of natural healing master herbalist Dr John R Christopher and intensified Christopher's incurables program..by watching these videos (which originally cost $435 and you can watch free) will cause your knowledge of alternative health to grow by leaps and bounds.

also go to curezone.com and ask the same question. I am sure someone there can help you.
