To naturopath 87: I have been interested and have studied on my own for over 30 years. Now I get to work toward my long desired dream. I started Friday, August 1st. August 4th, my dad died and I spent 2 weeks with all that entails. I got home and had to catch up and prep kids for school. When school started my youngest (has D.S.) was scheduled to have a tooth removed, then she got the flu, then she had a reaction to what now know to be the gourd family....All of that is just part of the interruptions a working wife and mother of 9 goes through. I get started and feel wonderful and excited about this dream come true; then ....life happens. That leads to me not "getting it". I am hoping this will iron out some. I am not going to let it stop me. I am just discouraged. I appreciate your offer and will seek you out when I get stuck. I do not have a mentor at this time. Thank you.
@ fortunateson: I read the posts just as I was about to have my prayer time. Thank you for the encouragement. Thank you for reminding me I am a perfectionist in an imperfect world and I need to focus on the test and understanding of the systems. Lol, I homeschooled for over 19 years...I should know this. It is providential that you used a mechanic as an example, I happen to love cars. Studied mechanics in school. Well, I am going to seed His face now.

Just seeing your post! I LOVE to share about essential oils! I got into them about 3 years ago...I started with the drugstore brands and as I educated myself I learned that quality is extremely important! The reason I got into them was my second child. She was born in 2011. At the hospital everything seemed to be fine but once we got home she started having issues when she would bf. She would gasp for air and choke and sputter. So I thought we were having a latching issue. Took her to the lactation consultant and during our visit she choked and turned blue. The consultant told me to get her to her ped asap to find out what was wrong. Turned out she had silent aspirations and mild gerd. We learned all of this after a barium swallow study and she was placed on simply thick. She was also on prevacid for reflux. After that she was diagnosed with Reactive Airway Disorder (baby asthma). So we started the inhaler and steroid. As you can imagine she hates medicine. When she would get a fever she wouldn't take anything. I'm a fan of letting the fever do its work at least to the point that the child is uncomfortable and miserable and of course at that point I want to help ease her pain. So research led me to essential oils. We've reduced use of her asthma inhaler, we've used oils for strep, pink eye, stomach issues, digestion issues, high bp, sinusitis, bronchitis. I cannot remember the last time I purchased a prescription or an over the counter medication. It's been amazing and now I share them with everyone! They are a life changer and if you have questions I would be so happy to share with you! autumnschafer@gmail.com You can also check out our website www.babystepstoessentialoils.comHello 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 tells us why she is living in Japan. Have a great week. |

Sorry everyone who asked for me to post about essential oils!
I forgot all about this forum until today.
Struggling through my A&P course..not because it's hard, but finding the time..Lord, help me!
What questions do you have about Essential oils? I LOVE talking about them and educating on them so ask away!
Hope you are all doing well!

Dear naturopathic friends,
Thank you for the recent posts. It's so great to hear from you.
Jo you made me laugh when you said you love cars. I was thinking after I posted my comment that baking a cake would have been a better example. You are some kinda gal. Got the right stuff to keep going forward with all you are dealing with.
Autumn – finally! Thank you for sharing. I started on your website with the video. Very interesting how you tie your Aromatherapy to whole body health and wellness. I've got a lot to learn. Do you think the Aromatherapy course text book Aromatherapy, an A-Z ( The Most Comprehensive Guide) 2005, Patricia Davis will cover this topic sufficiently? Also, sounds like effort needs to be taken to identify good sources of natural oils in addition to learning how to apply them.
What's going on Kate. Are you making progress with your course work. Do you hear anything about radioactivity impacting the people.

Hi fortunateson! You are welcome. Essential Oils have come a long way since the aromatherapy era of the 80's  If you speak to any aromatherapist today most will argue that they only work by diffusion but not to help heal the body...they're only for smelling good. More recent scientific studies have been done and found that some oils can help to alleviate cancer, lower blood pressure, some oils can change the DNA of our cells (eg. cancer). I don't need scientific studies..I have my own testimonies! I've watched as one topical application on my daughter completely stopped her croup cough, the application of lavender on my finger I had sliced stopped the bleeding almost instantly and that cut healed in less than two days. We ingest them for our allergies. My husband went from going to the doctor every fall and spring during allergy season because he could get so bad he would have to be on antibiotics and steroids to having no allergies at all after taking lemon, lavender, and peppermint. My 3 year old had a 105 fever and she wouldn't take tylenol...a diluted drop of peppermint oil brought her fever down to normal within 30 minutes! My list of how they've helped my family alone could go on! So no, I wouldn't rely on an aromatherapy book because it's only going to cover the inhalation route of using essential oils. Don't get me wrong..inhalation of oils can do amazing things..I can't open a bottle of lemon or joy oil without smiling and feeling happy after I've smelled it! But they are so much more than little bottles that smell good! They help balance your body. God knew what he was doing when he created these drops of goodness. I don't know if you have children but I would get so frustrated with the pediatrician when my girls would get a virus and I'd get the same old "you have to wait it out...". That's not good enough! My kids would be miserable and my hands were tied..nothing modern medicine could do for them..well that's no longer the case. We start using oils at the first symptoms and we've yet to be sick for more than a day! These oils won't keep you from getting sick but they will lessen the duration of illness and that, in my book, is awesome! The book I'd go to is called Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple. It covers how the oils work in our body and why they work..it's a pretty easy read..don't let the word Chemistry frighten you And I love that you brought up good sources of natural oils..yes, indeed. I started off using the NOW brand of oils from my local grocery store...I didn't know they weren't good..but as I educated myself more I learned that there are no guidelines set in place on how those oils are extracted...in one video I found on youtube a now employee went to whatever country to get lavender. Some small farmer was distilling his oil in an aluminum (Ugh, no!) drum and letting the oil run into a muddy puddle..then he would use a ladle to scrape the oil off the water and bottle it. Do you really want to be rubbing THAT on your body? Who is that farmer? WHY the mud puddle? I'm all for supporting the local guy but in this situation NO! Anyway, after much research (try 3 years) I settled on Young Living...why? Because they are the only ones that have their own farms and can guarantee seed to seal (www.seedtoseal.com). They have farms worldwide, they never use pesticides..they are there from the beginning (the seed) to the end (distillation and bottling). They work hard to educate their users. Some people complain that their prices are absurd...but I don't think so...I think I'm getting the best there is and the best is all there is for my family! The oils they aren't able to farm and distill themselves, they send a team of educated individuals to to make certain they are meeting YL's standards. The first time my girls were sick after starting use of essential oils, they both got strep. I was worried. honestly I have faith in my oils but I was scared. I got my 6 year old home and started applying Thieves, Oregano, and Purification. I did this frequently until we could get her into the pediatricians office. When we finally saw the doctor she asked about symptoms and when they started. She said "she definitely has strep..but it's nearly gone..what did you do?" I told her and she laughed at me...didn't believe me and my 6 year old piped up "that's all my mommy has done! it's not funny, oils work!"..the Doctor looked at her and said "well that may be so but we are still going to get you those antibiotics." When I asked why, she mentioned the possibility of the fever and she could die and blah blah blah. I got the RX and I gave her one dose but I kept up with the oils. In 12 hours she was symptom free (and yes they tested her twice in the office for strep!). I believe these could be game changers in the health field but it may be a long time before that happens. We are so brainwashed to believe that manmade chemical medicines are the only things that work and they aren't. The FDA is catching wind of all of oil users and they have been coming after some for making claims that they heal you...I will never claim that..but I will claim that they can reduce symptoms FDA also went after walnuts..because they have a good fat that's great for the heart..yeah, walnuts are drugs. I love that you mention modern medicine misses out on the spirit of life. They treat everyone the same..and we aren't. I believe essential oils covers that and I love it. The human spirit combined with essential oils can do amazing things..I'm already seeing it. Check out the book "Surviving When Modern Medicine Fails". If you can't tell I'm very passionate about this. I spend everyday soaking as much knowledge as I can about these oils...not just for me and my family but for others. Oils don't treat them symptom like modern medicine does, they are so smart that they work to find the root cause of the problem and bring it back into balance. Amazing, amazing, amazing! I continue to be blown away! Let me know if you're on Facebook and I can add you to our public group. People post their testimonies there all the time! Have a blessed day! |

Hello Autumn, Great post! I'm still thinking about everything you said. I did find Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple as an ebook or at least and introduction to the book... I've got it loaded on my mp3 music player. Should finish it next week. I am using NOW brand oils. Got to really rethink this... I've completed Pathology II. A bit depressing especially the sections on cancer and mental disorders  Fortunateson |

It's a lot to take in! It will take a lifetime to understand the power of essential oils. Enjoy the book and let me know what you think. Yes, most definitely you should rethink the NOW brand |

Dear Naturopathy friends, I finished pharmacology last week. I put everything I had into it because I really wanted to get this course behind me. It's a great course and sad because you learn first hand how pharmaceutical companies cause more than 100,000 deaths annually, the 4th leading cause of death in America.
You've got to understand pharmacology, how drugs work and why they can kill. Recommended reading. Samuel Thomson was a self-taught American herbalist and botanist, best known as the founder of the alternative system of medicine known as "Thomsonian Medicine", which enjoyed wide popularity in the United States during the 19th century. www.swsbm.com/ManualsOther/Samuel_Thomson-Lloyd.pdf Do not fear as the clouds break to reveal the sun soaked valley of herbal medicine! Herbology will lift your spirit. Everyday I add another herb to my list of friends. I see people now and realize there are herbal solutions to their health issues whether its the flue or hormone replacement for early menopause. The threat of ebola does not trouble me. Now I know it can be taken down with the tools God has given us - No Problem. Here is a book you've got to read: How To Survive In A World WITHOUT ANTIBIOTICS! - www.tachyon-aanbieding.eu/Documentation/NewAntibiotics.pdfHere is my plan. I'm working through the Herbology Manual by Dr. DeSantis. I'm taking my time; building my own library of each herb. Everyday adding a new friend to my list of herbs. 1. Herbology Manual - Larry DeSantis, ND 2. PDR for Herbal Medicine - academic.uprm.edu/dpesante/docs-apicultura/pdr%20para%20la%20medicina%20herbal.pdf3. PRESCRIPTION for Herbal Healing - PHYLLIS A. BALCH 4. Herbal Remedies - Andrew Chevallier I build a herb profile from the information in the above books. I finish the profile by searching Amazon.com for the herb and the reviews of people using them (these are very interesting  I've attached one of my herb summaries for your consideration. Goldenseal.pdf (356.59 KB) I did read about aroma therapy. I had no idea of the power of these oils. Thanks Autumn!I hope you guys are hanging in there. Fortunateson |

Dear Naturopathic Friends, I'm just finishing up the course on Herbology with a new appreciation for the plan of our God who put into the garden of this earth plants, trees, roots, mushrooms and more making it possible for us to protect ourselves from the degenerating forces loose in this world. Working through the course I developed a list of some 50 herbs trying as I went to group them by their area of action and pharmacology. The most important things I learned are: - PDR for Herbal Medicines was the most important book I studied - (linkacademic.uprm.edu/dpesante/docs-apicultura/pdr%20para%20la%20medicina%20herbal.pdf)
- Study Amazon.com customer reviews (with a grain of salt) to learn about how people are using various herbs and the results they are getting
- You can't learn all the herbs; therefore, you must develop a short list that you know very well and can group by action
Here is a good write-up to guide the beginning student: The Herbal Medicine-Maker’s Handbook: A Home Manual / by James Green
Question: How many herbs should I know to be an effectual herbalist? Answer: 30 ... well, maybe 35 ... and probably a fungus as well.Certainly, most herbalists I know strongly recommend that a student limit his or her studies to “a few select herbs.” Get to know them well by learning to identify them, experience growing them when possible, communicate with them, discern when, where, and how best to harvest them, make medicine with them, touch, taste, smell, and use them. The energies of thirty to thirty- ve herbs will enchant you and keep you sufficiently busy for the following year or two. Distinguished individuals from the remaining myriad of herbs that dwell on Earth will, one by one, as situations arise, attract your attention and attach themselves to your initial repertory. So, the subsequent question arises: “Which few select herbs should I choose?”Well, the most important principle to guide you in this very personal selection is to embrace any and all plants that you are intuitively attracted to: those that touch your spirit in an exceptionally deep and personal way. These are relationships that you never want to ignore. A second reliable criterion is to select herbs that grow near you and can be found thriving in the bioregion you inhabit, or in closely neighboring bioregions. The plants you select should be fairly easy to acquire and always of excellent quality. Flirt with the currently fashionable and exotic imports, by all means, but don’t become dependent on their availability. As an initial step to develop this group of medicinals, each of us agreed to provide a list of thirty favored plants that we felt could be
relied upon to supply an herbalist with pretty much any and all the herbal actions and uplifting virtues required to provide good
health care in a home and community.
Blackberry (Rubus villosus) Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) Calendula (Calendula officinalis) Cayenne (Capsicum annuum) Chamomile, German (Matricaria recutita) Cleavers (Galium aperine) Comfrey (Symphytum officinale)Crampbark (Viburnum opulus) Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) Elder (Sambucus nigra) Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) Ginger (Zingiber officinale) Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) Gumweed (Grindelia spp.) Hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacanthus) Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) Mullein (Verbascum spp.) Nettle (Urtica spp.) Peppermint (Mentha piperita) Pipsissewa (Chimaphilla umbellata) Plantain (Plantago lanceolata or P. major) St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) Scullcap (Scutellaria spp.) Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) Vitex (Vitex agnus-castus) Willow (Salix alba) Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) Yellow Dock (Rumex crispus) Burdock (Arctium lappa) Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) Oat (wild: Avena fatua, cultivated: Avena sativa) Saw Palmetto (Serenoa serrulata) Siberian Ginseng (Eleuthrococcus senticosus) Reishi Mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) Here is the list I developed using the course material. What's on your list?  Take care, Fortunateson |

Dear Naturopathic Friends, Scientific Method The development and elaboration of rules for scientific reasoning and investigation has not been straightforward; scientific method has been the subject of intense and recurring debate throughout the history of science, and many eminent natural philosophers and scientists have argued for the primacy of one or another approach to establishing scientific knowledge. "Truth is sought for its own sake. And those who are engaged upon the quest for anything for its own sake are not interested in other things. Finding the truth is difficult, and the road to it is rough... Attempts to systematize a scientific method were confronted in the mid-18th century by the problem of induction, a positivist logic formulation which, in short, asserts that nothing can be known with certainty except what is actually observed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_scientific_method Anecdotal Evidence The term is often used in contrast to scientific evidence, such as evidence-based medicine, which are types of formal accounts. Some anecdotal evidence does not qualify as scientific evidence because its nature prevents it from being investigated using the scientific method. In science, definitions of anecdotal evidence include: "information that is not based on facts or careful study" "reports or observations of usually unscientific observers" "casual observations or indications rather than rigorous or scientific analysis" "information passed along by word-of-mouth but not documented scientifically" Anecdotal evidence can have varying degrees of formality. For instance, in medicine, published anecdotal evidence by a trained observer (a doctor) is called a case report, and is subjected to formal peer review. Although such evidence is not seen as conclusive, it is sometimes regarded as an invitation to more rigorous scientific study of the phenomenon in question. For instance, one study found that 35 of 47 anecdotal reports of drug side effects were later sustained as "clearly correct." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anecdotal_evidence A fallacy is the use of poor, or invalid reasoning for the construction of an argument. The scientific method assumes that all things must be observed to be proven. The fallacy of the scientific method rests on the mistaken assumption that all things can be measured and observed. An additional fallacy is that only trained observers (a doctor) can discover truth. The history of scientific discovery demonstrates that truth and new knowledge is often acquired by inspiration and that by people who are not formally trained in the scientific method. Finally, the scientific method assumes that the human mind is capable of comprehending all things. It just isn't so. Testimony Christians in general use the term "testify" or "to give one's testimony" to mean "the story of how one became a Christian"; And commonly it may refer to a specific event in a Christian's life in which they believe God has done something deemed particularly worth sharing. Christians often give their testimony at their own baptism or at evangelistic events. In the current age of the Internet, many Christians have also placed their testimonies on the internet. (As evidence of their conversion to or understanding of new and higher knowledge) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testimony This kind of religious experience is not permissible under the scientific method. Yet it is true and at the last day we shall see that the Christian was correct to put trust in something not seen or measurable but true. Anecdotal Evidence of the Benefit of Herbs Psalms 104:14 14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; Genesis 1:29 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. The internet has opened the world to new knowledge. We have the observations and testimonies of thousands of people who have benefited from herbs. Matthew 18:16 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. Conclusion While not a complete or thorough analysis, the idea that truth and knowledge can only be acquired through the use of the scientific method presents some serious shortcomings. Current medical science by their own admission has no idea how human digestion, the nervous system or human mind really work yet they do work and wonderfully. Perhaps there is a source of organization, knowledge, truth and love which surpasses the capabilities of the human mind. With our own observations we can see that the scientific man does not comprehend the smallest part of the creations of God. Finally, the observation and experience of people who have benefited from the healing power of naturopathic methods is a source of valid evidence supporting the efficacy of natural cures. Here is another good example of what is beyond the comprehension of the human mind:  If you can improve on these ideas, please do. Take care, Fortunateson |

Fortunateson, yep still plugging away. Gave myself a little break to take care of preparing for the holidays, but now I'm ready to dive back in. Also great post on Herbology! I'm almost to that class, and thank goodness! And to answer your question, the people here in Okinawa aren't too worried about radiation. We're pretty far south of Fukishima. What I quickly learned upon moving here is that the locals avoid anything grown or made from the Fukishima area. They won't buy produce, meat, or beverages from that area. Now I know all the possible kanji and pictures on products that represent the northern area of Japan, and avoid it like the locals do.
By the way, peppermint EO has been very effective for headaches (and digestive issues). Another great headache remedy that doesn't involve OTC meds is to put your feet in warm water, hug your knees, and place something very cold (like a bag of frozen peas) on the back of your neck. Works like magic.
Best of luck on everyone's studies!

Great to hear from you Kate and that you are back at it! Thanks for sharing more about your on the ground experiences in Japan. So cool. Your comments about essential oils are very helpful. This seems to be an important area of study but I don't see it coming up as a specific class in the program. I might study essential oils in more depth as part of Herbal First Aid. I hope you check out my post for Herbal First Aid. I plan to follow up with more detail about how I have updated my first aid kit with natural remedies... Take care, Fortunateson |

fortunateson,
I believe our Aromatherapy class will dive quite deep into essential oils, and not just for aromatherapy purposes. The text I skimmed through for that class is quite in depth. We still have a ways to go to get there, but one day we'll be EO pros.
Herbal First Aid is a great class. It's a very grassroots, back to basics class. You know what I mean? It's how humans have helped themselves for thousands of years. Some of it was once common knowledge, and some of it was only known by the most knowledgeable and respected healers. The more I learn, the more I feel a connection to the millions of healers that came before us. Maybe it seems silly, but I feel a great responsibility to do justice to this legacy. I love this community we have here. Everyone is so helpful and supportive!
Kindest Regards,
Kate

Hello to all,
As my screen name implies, I'm new to New Edens. I've enrolled in the DR. of Traditional Naturopathy (DTN)...starting first in January 2015 (WOW)!!! I am excited, challenged and afraid all at the same time (starting a new direction in life). I have 34 yr of direct independent patient care experience as military medic, flight medic and critical care medic, but this is totally different. I'm very curious, what can I expect as DTN as far as scope of practice and career opportunities?
I leaned first hand, as an Army medic, that Naturopathy is a better direction for primary care and conventional medicine is better suited for acute/ emergency care. My goal is come as close as I can to an old country Doctor as I can.
Any advice?

Hello Vincent, Welcome to our community! As you can see from Kate's post on December 19th, you've come to a great place to advance your naturalpathic medical knowledge. Your military training/background is impressive. I've recently completed “Special Operations Forces Medical Handbook” as part of my additional study of the Herbal First Aid course (see my post there) so I have some appreciation for your training and background which will serve you well as you begin your study of naturopathic medicine. I hope you will share your experience with us as you progress in your course work.  I don't know what opportunities you will have as an N.D. but I do know that this training is part of the new paradigm in self managed health care. “At a time when medicine has made some of the greatest advances in its history, something unexpected has begun to happen. Herbs, which have always been the principal form of medicine for the majority of the world’s population, have once again become popular throughout the developed world. Striving to stay healthy in the face of chronic stress, pollution, and obesity, more and more people are taking charge of their health with herbs.”[1] I strongly agree with Kate when she feels “a great responsibility to do justice to this legacy.” In fact: “The healing art of herbalism grew from hundreds of millions of personal healing experiences over centuries before the advent of scientific technology. Herbal remedies that resulted in cures were recognized, remembered, and gradually categorized by the great schools of herbal healing. They were recorded by Egyptian medicine, Indian ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, and Japanese Kampo; the teachings of Hippocrates, Dioscorides, Hildegard von Bingen, and Paracelsus; and the native healing systems of Africa, Australia, and the Americas.”[2] I hope Kate is right about becoming an essential oil pro someday The only advice I have is don't burn through the course material with the idea of getting through as quickly as possible. I am finding that it takes time to absorb and apply the concepts. Hope to hear from you. Fortunateson  [1] Prescription for Herbal Healing page 57 [2] Prescription for Herbal Healing page 61 |
