I believe in herbal medicine. To be more specific, I believe in the School of Natural Healing, which was founded by Dr. John R. Christopher. I discovered him while surfing the web a few years ago. Everything he taught rings true. Other famous herbalists from around the world honor him as the greatest herbalist of his time.
What always strikes me, is that even among my friends who know of Dr. Christopher, none have ever disagreed that what he taught was true. However, not a soul among them have ever gone on and made the personal investment of becoming herbalists themselves. I’ve decided that, rather than standing on the sidelines admiring the man, I’m going to let him teach me. I want to know what he knows. I want to be able to heal as he healed. I want to be a Master Herbalist.
With all the upheaval happening in American health care, I am concerned that the future will be dimmer, not brighter, for the sick and afflicted in our country. There will be health boards, price limits, invasion of privacy issues, and – as long as the economy remains in recession – payment difficulties for patients. I am convinced that people will begin to try and find a way to heal themselves. It would be a blessing and joy to be able to heal my family, and help my friends and neighbors – remaining free and independent in more ways than one. To me, that means becoming a Master Herbalist.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. For me, that first step is to take the first course, and become a Family Herbalist. If any of this agrees with what you’re feeling in your heart, may I suggest that you click the ad just below? You can take the Family Herbalist course at the cheapest price available anywhere. I’ll be studying right along with you. 🙂
UPDATE (3 Jan 2011): I have successfully completed the Family Herbalist course! Hooray! I’m going on now to study Level 200. Once I complete Level 500, I will be a certified Nutritional Herbologist.

Hi!
Thank you for your post about The School of Natural Healing.
I’m interested to know, based on your personal experience, if you considered the correspondence vs. the online course(s)?
Unfortunately for me, the price plays a major role in my current level of investment, and I hope to be able to have the same opportunity for learning at that level.
Any thoughts & information you can offer is most appreciated!

Thanks for the question, Emilia. I really enjoyed the online course and never considered taking the correspondence course because of time issues. (I didn’t want to wait forever to get the results of tests back. I didn’t want to always be at the post office.) With the online course, I also enjoyed receiving electronic copies of class materials, especially the Mp3 and Mp4 files. Although I wish I could have hard copies of my study materials, as I would with the correspondence course, I’ve actually found the electronic copies to be more convenient to use because of their portability. Could a third option for you, actually attending classes at the Springville, Utah location be an option? That is what I would choose if I lived within 3 hours of the place… but I don’t. Do what you feel is best, Emilia. The important thing is gaining the knowledge and skills that you will need. Don’t forget to also check out other Master Herbalists, such as Richard Schulze and Kal Sellers. I believe Kal also has a school, and his wife Traci, is master of the kitchen when it comes to the Mucusless diet. Best wishes to you! – Oilstories

Thank you so much for the quick response!
It would be amazing to be able to go directly to the source in Utah 🙂 Definitely not an option, however.
I do appreciate your thoughts & experiences with the coursework! I think I’m slowly getting to a decision place, lol.
Warm regards,
Emilia

Hi Krystal,
Well, I still have my thyroid! That’s good news! I have also begun to lose weight since quitting dairy and starting to exercise with a cellerciser. While I would ultimately like to become a Master Herbalist, the opportunity arose to complete an education toward earning CPM certification, so I am currently pursuing that. Thanks for your interest, and blessings to you! 🙂 Katie

I am SO pleased to hear this, Jessica! Sometimes I wonder if this blog is just a public form of talking to myself. So you made my day! 🙂
