Hello All! My name is Maritza Molis and I am enrolled in the Doctor of Traditional Naturopathy program at New Eden. I live in Lorain, Ohio close to Cleveland, Ohio am a wife, mother of two boys one with autism and a Biblical Counselor. My middle child Jaiden is 7 now and was diagnosed with Autistic Disorder at age 2 and is non verbal. I chose this school and the Doctor of Traditional Naturopathy to be better equipped to help those in need. I believe that this anatomy and physiology class will help us all to understand the bodies structure and function and will help prepare us in the field of naturopathy. I eventually would love to have my own clinic helping others with natural health and stress management techniques. I pray that everyone in this class learn all they need to learn to get through this class and that you have a peaceful time while reading the material for this course. Blessings!
-Maritza Molis

Hi Mazitza, I live in St Clair Shores, MI, not too far from Detroit. I'm in the Medical Herbalism program. I have about 5 more classes to go and I'll be finished and I'm thinking on transferring over to the Naturopathy when I'm done. How is that program? How far along are you? ~Rose Trupiano

Hi! My name is Autumn Schafer. SAHM of two girls 6 and 3, wife to an entrepreneur. A few years ago I discovered Young Living Essential Oils. I spend my spare time reading about them and helping my family stay healthy. I enjoy sharing them with others. Starting with Young Living led me to a desire to get educated in the Naturopath field (currently in the Naturopath Degree program). I will also be doing a CARE Intensive weekend so I can begin using the Raindrop Technique to help others get healthy/maintain their health. So excited to be on this path!
Looking forward to getting to know all of you better.
All the best,
Autumn

Hello, Great to connect with people seeking to develop their knowledge of alternative medicine. I'm enrolled in the traditional naturopathy program. I've completed three courses just finished Pathology I. The course was a bit overwhelming because biochemistry and the vast range of disease conditions are so complex. Someone could spend a lifetime studying one aspect of cell chemistry. Goodness. I've learned a few things to aid with my course study. I am an auditory learner so I convert text to mp3 file format and listen to the material while I am doing things like washing dishes and driving to work I've found some great anatomy and medical books which I have used to supplement my learning.

Hi fellow learners!
So glad New Eden set up this forum as a way for us all to connect and support one another. My name is Kate and I just moved to Okinawa Japan. I'm a mother to a 9 year old girl and 2 year old boy and am enrolled in the Doctor of Traditional Naturopathy program. Looking forward to seeing everyone's progress as we move closer and closer to our goals. Best of luck to you all!

Greeting everyone! I've just started here at the school about a week ago, and have already blown through one class in two days! I'm writing here because my main goal is to obtain the D.N.M (Doctor of Natural Medicine); however I'm taking a longer route because I also want to gain all the other designations, starting with Certificate in Iridology; Then from there my plan is to go for the N.C, N.P, Naturopath Associate degree, Naturopath 3-year diploma, and then finally the D.N.M. To which after obtaining that I plan to further my education by getting the Medical Herbalist.
I've always had an interest in health, and grew up in the world of natural. Sadly, I never realize my intuitiveness regarding natural health, nor how well I can naturally grasp it until recently, so most of my young adult life been going from one college to the next, until i finally realized that 'this' is my true passion in life, and what I enjoy waking up every morning to do and read about. With the push from families, friends and my mentor, I have begun my long journey to become a Doctor of Natural Medicine, and teach here in the states, and even abroad in other countries.

Hello Jo and fellow students, The work is not to difficult if you take it one class at a time working at your own pace. Like you, I took some time before choosing New Eden. I'm very pleased with the decision. I believe you need someone to help you along the road because there are so many turns and side roads. Without a good guide you may not reach the desired destination. The traditional naturopathy program provides the broadest range of course material making it more likely to come upon the area of alternative medicine that is best suited to meet your interests and goals. The course work also gives me exposure to related materials which can now be place in context of the program as a whole. I've already experienced benefits by making changes in my diet, nutrition and related health activities specifically. Eliminate all toxic cleaners and products from the house Install large volume air purifier Installed water purification system Modified bedroom to improve circulation of fresh air especially during the night Shut down Wifi and other sources of radio/microwave energy as much as possible Purchased a good quality juicer – lost about 20 pounds so far... Reducing meats, fats and grains from diet Planted a small vegetable garden Future projects: bowel, liver and kidney detox Let me know how you guys are doing.

Hello Maritza, and fellow students! It's a pleasure to see you all here and learn about the path that led you to New Eden. :-) I am an Ohioan as well currently pursuing a doctorate in naturopathy. I'm also a wife, homeschooling mother to four little ones (with another on the way!), and the owner of Nourishing Herbalist, a small natural health company.
I've had a passion for natural health for over 7 years now and spent the last 2 years particularly studying classical homeopathy and herbalism. There's just so much to know! I love working and encouraging individuals to pursue natural approaches to their health issues, while improving their overall vitality. Now, with the help of New Eden, I hope to grow even further in my knowledge of natural health care and how best to serve others. So far it's been an inspiring journey!
I have to agree with fortunateson1, though... Pathology I is overwhelming :-) Memorizing so many terms is a challenge!

Hello. I'm Nidia. I live in Orlando, Florida. I'm so young but I'm retired from a government position. I have a bachelor degree in other discipline than medicine. Actually, I have (3) month in the Traditional Naturopathy Doctor Program. I'm in the Pathology I class and I go on my own pace. I wish to work in a discipline that let me help and teach people about the natural true of health based in the common and logic manner. The (3) classes that I had take are awesome. I have problems with my english but the lessons are really good. Thanks for the opportunity to get my dream.

Hello Faith and fellow students,
I checked out Nourishingherbalist's website. Not bad. Shows you what can be done with knowledge of natural health. I'm really impressed with how she can manage a family, homeschooling and startup small business. Way to go. I definitely want to learn more about herbal medicine.
I've planted some aloe vera plants in my yard. Recently, my small son got his finger caught between the wheels of the baby carriage. Took the skin down to the bone and removed most of the nail. Nothing the regular medical doctors could do. I remember reading about the healing benefits of aloe vera. I cut strips of the plant and put it on the finger. It seemed to reduce the pain. After several weeks the skin and nail have largely been restored. I'm certain this would have ended badly had I not been aware of an alternative treatment for his situation.
It looks like Autumn S is working with essential oils. I don't know much about this and hope she will share more of her experiences.
Maybe Kate will tell us why she is living in Japan.
Have a great week.

It sounds like there are a lot of talented and diverse people here. How wonderful! I would love to find a mentor or someone to guide and encourage me. I will pray about it. For now, I will study as I am able. Faith, I homeschooled for over nineteen years. Maritza, my youngest has Down's Syndrome. Fortunateson, I am a Californian and I have an aloe story too. When my fifth was one year old she was severely burnt on an open oven door. Horrible pain. I immediately got her hands under the water and then sent her sisters to get aloe vera. We wrapped her hands with slabs on the burns. After checking them about an hour later the aloe had disappeared. So we did it again. Again we checked. The aloe was gone. The third time there was just a little piece left. Happiest of all...in just eleven days it looked like she had never been burn. She carries at age 22 no sign of being burnt. God bless all of you and your efforts, Jo

Hello Jo,
Another Californian! I'm from nor-cal. Thanks for sharing your aloe vera experience. This helped me to notice something about my own experience. The aloe Vera disappeared after the first few applications as if it had been absorbed. I hope you will share more about your home schooling experience.
I've started Pathology II. Tough going. I know we have to get through this stuff but it's painful. Modern medicine breaks the body down into machine parts, nuts and bolts. They dissect, observe and define what they can measure using Latin terms creating a layer of complexity making it more difficult to comprehend. And with all the analysis and double blind studies, they occasionally are honest enough to admit their failure to comprehend the wondrous complexity of the human body. This is particularly true of neurology where modern science is force to admit they have no idea what is going on in the human brain. Fortunately, there are honest truth seekers that recognize their limitations and give reference to the higher power that made life possible.
Here is something that cuts through the neurology mumbo jumbo: THE nervous system consists of two parts : (1) the cerebro-spinal system of nerves, which is under the direct control of the brain, and is responsible for all voluntary movement and action, such as walking, touching, speaking, etc. ; and (2) the autonomic or involuntary system of nerves, which acts without conscious thought or interference, and controls the working of the heart, stomach, and vital functions generally.
Both these systems are intimately connected with each other, and together motivate the whole body by means of what we call nerve force. What nerve force—the power of actuating nerve action—really is, no one can be quite sure of. Its origin is shrouded in mystery, that self-same mystery which enshrouds LIFE itself. But this we do know : nerve force is something at once fundamental and vital ; something connected directly with, if not actually emanating from, the very life essence of our being, and directly proportional to it. That is why some people always seem to have a larger amount of nerve force (or energy) at their disposal than others ; it simply means that they are endowed by Nature with a larger share of inherent vitality or vital power than others, as part of their birthright, and so have more nerve force (energy) with which to express it than others less well endowed.

Fortunateson, I am in Okinawa because my husband has been stationed here A decade ago I lived on the mainland in Iwakuni Japan, so Okinawa has certainly been a new take on the Japanese culture. I feel very blessed to live here while I complete my D.N.M degree as the Okinawans embrace CAM and many naturopaths look towards this island to learn about life longevity. Odds are, I'll take full advantage of my time here and write my dissertation on something about this beautiful place. I also hope that Autumn S shares her adventures with essential oils! I'm about to purchase my first set and begin weaning myself and my family off of OTC yucky stuff as much as possible. It's always great to hear success stories with EO's, just like the stories above with the aloe plants!

Hello Kate,
That is totally awesome! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences in Japan. I have read how some cultures live longer because of diet, climate and other factors. I do hope you will share more about what you are learning there.
I don't know anything about oils except that I've used eucalyptus in a humidifier. What is OTC? Hoping to learn more...
Have a great week.

OTC = Over the counter. I believe our Herbology class will give us an introduction to essential oils, and our Aromatherapy class further down the line will go into much more detail. (I am remembering correctly that you are also in the DNM program, yes?) So no worries, soon we will ALL be learning more! In the meantime, I have already armed myself with textbooks from those classes and essential oils, so I'm going to start helping my family members with everything from headaches to Restless Leg Syndrome to anxiety to sinus infections. I'm so excited! I think that's one of the great aspects of natural medicine; The patient becomes the healer and it is very empowering to be in charge of your own health. (Responsibly of course) What an awesome experience your wedding must have been! Sounds like quite an adventure. Travel has to be one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves. Plus, in this field that we have chosen, it can be daunting to see so many in America thinking that it's voodoo Hogwarts witchcraft. A little bit of travel around the world quickly shows you that most people don't consider what we are learning as alternative medicine. It's just medicine. Like it's been for thousands of years. It's a nice reminder that the masses aren't completely against us as it can sometimes feel like. And Autumn, if you want to hit us with some EO knowledge, we're ready to pick up what you put down!

Hello Kate, Yes I am in the DNM program starting the fourth class Pathology II. I plan to complete the test questions for Neurology this week. I'm finding it easy to become buried in a blizzard of vocabulary which obscures the key concepts which generally is the heart of the study. I use technology to help me get through the mountains of material. I convert textbooks using a text to speech application like Textaloud (link www.nextup.com/TextAloud/) which converts the book to mp3 audio files making it possible to get through a text book in a few hours of listing while washing the car and vacuuming the rug I hope you are right about our herbology and essential oil classes. You can address headache with essential oils – I had no idea! I'm still using OTC pain medicine like ibuprofen – there's got to be something better. You are so right about the benefits of travel abroad. You are so right about the current pathologic, body as machine approach to medicine! “Even if a diagnosis is made, it isn’t necessarily correct. Various studies have determined that diagnoses made by physicians are correct only around fifty to seventy five per cent of the time. The disease treatment for an incorrectly diagnosed problem obviously will be of little help and may be quite harmful.” HOMEOPATHY Beyond Flat Earth Medicine Have a great week.

Hello All, Is anyone else struggling to keep a pace and keep what we are learning in their head? I am excited but overwhelmed. It hasn't helped that my youngest has missed 4 and half days of school since it started. I am this week, I pray, back on track and so happy to be. I have been praying. Got on my knees today. I know this is His will. It is my passion. I look forward to helping others. Would love to work this into my human trafficking passion. (ie, help girls get healthy after they are rescued) fortunateson I am in the Central Coast. Wishing and praying for all of us, Jo

Hello All, "Is anyone else struggling to keep a pace and keep what we are learning in their head?" I just started end of July, and really didn't start until early august and blew through my first two courses. I'm now on Iris Analysis (since i'm going for my C.I before my D.N.M). As for struggling, not really. I find it all fun and exciting and am naturally in-tune into the natural sciences to where I just grasp everything I read, and then my intuitive side kicks in and I question a lot of what i read, and create hypothesis about it and shoot Q&A's back and forth with my mentor. Prior to going for my degrees, I have studied natural health, first starting with cancer, for the past 14 years. What are you seeming to have trouble with? You could PM me and maybe i can help you grasp a concept or two.

Hello Jo, I was touched by your earnest efforts to improve yourself and that you have gained enough experience to know the source from which all goodness comes. Your post reminds me of the old gospel hymn “Sweet Hour of Prayer” Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! Thy wings shall my petition bear To Him whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting soul to bless. And since He bids me seek His face, Believe His Word and trust His grace, I’ll cast on Him my every care, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! Sweet Hour of Prayer.mp3 (759.66 KB) As for your study, God expects you to do all you can with the gifts he has given you. Medical language can be overwhelming when you consider the trillions of cells that make up the human body, all working in unison, balanced and in harmony with each other. Don't try to retain all the language. When you consider that medical doctors dedicate their entire life to the study of one aspect of the human mind which by their own admission is more than they can comprehend, you should go easy on yourself when setting expectations for the mastery and retention of medical terminology. Using the example of an automobile, a good mechanic does not memorize every nut and bolt to master his trade. The skillful mechanic understands mechanical systems and how they interact with one another. If he needs a replacement part he looks it up. The part number is not stored in his short or long-term memory. Concentrate on understanding how body systems work and how they are held in balance. You don't need to memorize all the infinitely complex aspects of the digestive system. You need to understand how it works and how it relates to the other major body systems. That said. I study for the test. I don't try to retain all the terminology. I concentrate my effort on developing a solid working knowledge of body systems which can be grasped. I hope this helps. Keep up the good work. Fortunateson
