An Education in Alternative Medicine (chinese, naturopathic..ETC)?

I am highly interested in Naturopathy, Herbology, Holistic Nutrition.. the whole Alternative Medicine area. I would like to study chinese medicine because the schools cover all that I am interested in and are usually accredited. However, I have essential tremors that would prevent me from performing safe acupuncture, which plays a major role in chinese medicine and would be hard to bypass. So it looks like a Chinese Medicine education is out of the question for me : (. I have looked into Naturopathic Schools but in many states it is illegal, including my own. Alternative medicine is definitely something I would like to pursue in but I definitely want a full accredited title with hands on experience. Any advice?

There is a degree called MH Master Herbologist (I think that is what it is). And they do teach acupuncture at naturopathic schools. You could get an RN degree and then get training in herbology, homeopathy, etc. People tend to take you more seriously if you have a western degree in addition to the natural medicine one.

Excerpt: In 1998, the Swiss government began a comprehensive Program for Evaluating Complementary Medicine (PEK : Programm Evaluation Komplementärmedizin = Program for Evaluating Complementary Medicine) to study the role and effectiveness of complementary medicine, which was playing an ever-increasing role in the Swiss medical system. According to the PEK Report, results of the evaluation were inconclusive, and in June 2005, the five complementary therapies under evaluation – anthroposophical medicine, homeopathy, neural therapy, phytotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine (more precisely, traditional Chinese herbal therapy) – were removed from the list of services covered by the compulsory health insurance scheme (KLV). Controversy surrounds the events leading up to the publication of the report. The complete text of the 24 April 2005 version of the “Programm Evaluation Komplementärmedizin” Report, (also referred to as PEK, “Program for Evaluating Complementary Medicine” and “Complementary Medicine Evaluation Programme”), is available from the Swiss Parliament website and also from the Swiss Federal Office of Health (BAG) PEK download webpage. The 96 page report (plus annexes) is written in German, but includes introductions in German (pages i-iv) and French (v-ix), and summaries of the report (and the study results) in German (pages 57), French (8-10), Italian (11-13), and English (14-16).

The following sections are extracts from the English summary of the PEK report: Following the decision taken by the Swiss Federal Department of Home Affairs (DHA) on 9 July 1998, five complementary therapies – anthroposophical medicine,… More:

Alternative Medicine?: A History $9.08 Walk into your local health food shop or pick up the local paper, and youll see ads for meditation, acupuncture, herbal supplements, Tai Chi classes, homeopaths, faith healers, and Chinese herbalists. But what exactly is alternative medicine? Is the astonishing popularity of alternative and multicultural medicine really such a recent development? Comparing the medical systems of China, India, and the west (both mainstream and alternative), this volume ranges across four centuries and many continents, mapping the transmission of medical expertise from one culture to another and laying bare the roots of today’s distinctions between alternative, complementary, and orthodox medicine. Historian Roberta Bivens uses a wealth of illuminating and entertaining historical examples—from horse-racing English earls to desperate missionaries in 17th-century Indonesia, and from hypnotism in the British Raj to homeopathy in the American Wild West—to underscore the vital point that the cross-cultural transmission of medical knowledge and expertise, even alternative medical knowledge and expertise, is not a uniquely contemporary phenomenon, but has a long and fascinating pedigree. Through comparisons of different medical innovations and importations across different cultures, the book illuminates the twin processes of medical and historical change as seen through the eyes of the medical professionals and consumers of the day. It traces for example the responses in nineteenth-century India to two western alternative medicines (homeopathy and mesmerism) and one staple of mainstream western medicine (germ theory). Given the success of modern biomedical science, why are alternative and traditional treatments now so fashionable? This fascinating volume sheds light on this trend as it offers a sweeping comparative account of alternative medicine over four hundred years.

Biofield Therapies: Reiki $10.18 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Reiki (English pronunciation: " in Shinjitai Japanese) is a spiritual practice developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui that uses a technique commonly called palm healing as a form of complementary and alternative medicine and is sometimes classified as oriental medicine by some professional bodies. Through the use of this technique, practitioners believe that they are transferring healing energy in the form of ki through the palms. There are two main branches of Reiki, commonly referred to as Traditional Japanese Reiki and Western Reiki. Within both Traditional and Westernised forms of Reiki, there are three forms of degrees, commonly referred to as the First, Second, and Master/Teacher degree. According to Reiki practitioners and Masters, at First Degree, a Reiki practitioner is able to heal themselves and others, at Second Degree is able to heal others distantly (commonly called distant healing) with the use of specialised symbols, and at Master/Teacher level is able to teach and attune others to Reiki. A systematic review of randomised clinical trials conducted in 2008 did not support the efficacy of Reiki or its recommendation for use in the treatment of any condition. Mikao Usui (15 August 1865 9 March 1926)The Japanese word Reiki (" in Shinjitai Japanese or " in Katakana), meaning “mysterious atmosphere / spiritual power” is a loanword from the Chinese word língqì (" in Traditional Chinese and " in Simplified Chinese), which some Chinese-English dictionaries translate as “spiritual influence (of mountains etc) / cleverness / ingeniousness”; This Japanese compound joins the words rei (), meaning “ghost, spirit, soul / supernatural, miraculous, divine; ethereal body”, with ki (), meaning “gas, air / breath / energy /

Ephedra $80 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ephedra, from the plant Ephedra sinica, has been used as a herbal remedy in traditional Chinese medicine for 5,000 years for the treatment of asthma and hay fever, as well as for the common cold. Known in Chinese as ma huang, ephedra is a stimulant which constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure and heart rate. Several additional species belonging to the genus Ephedra have traditionally been used for a variety of medicinal purposes, and are a possible candidate for the Soma plant of Indo-Iranian religion. Native Americans and Mormon pioneers drank a tea brewed from an Ephedra, called Mormon Tea, but North American ephedras lack the alkaloids found in species such as E. sinica.

Herbs and Nutrients for the Mind: A Guide to Natural Brain Enhancers (Complementary and Alternative Medicine Series) $3.63 Two naturopaths introduce us to the world of brain biochemistry, translating the science into laymen’s terms, so that the reader can understand the potential power of herbs and nutrients to enhance health, prevent disorders, and affect existing health disorders. These alternatives, or supplements, to medication are being used across the country to help treat health conditions with a psychological component—from ADHD and anorexia to insomnia, menopause, and Parkinson’s Disease. Authors Meletis and Barker explain 18 of these conditions, and review the most current research into how—or whether—the use of herbs and supplements has been proven to prevent, affect or remove these health conditions, or at least some of their symptoms. Can the Chinese herb Salvia curb cravings in alcoholics? Can niacin help treat anxiety? Other herbs, nutrients, and conditions addressed include the use of zinc to reduce symptoms of anorexia and bulimia, ginkgo biloba for Alzheimer’s, and 5-HTP for depression. One appendix to this volume lists the top 20 brain-enhancing herbs and supplements. Another lists nutrient deficiencies and their links to health and brain function.It is not the intent of this book to advocate for the replacement of standard drug therapy, but for the integration of these natural medicines with traditional medical treatments. Consumers are urged to discuss these herbs and nutrients with their physician before beginning use, as some allergic reactions or interactions with traditional medicines can occur. The central argument of this book is that when properly nourished people can operate at maximum physical and mental capacity, with maximum ability to fend off or recover from disease and disorder.
