This series of classes is founded upon the understanding that the amazing human body was created with a powerful ability to self-heal when given the correct raw materials that it needs to do its work. A holistic practitioner or a mother/father helping their children can provide the foods, the herbs, the essential oils, the emotional support, and other holistic therapies to strengthen the body, to increase vitality and to build-up resistance to disease (dis-ease). You will improve your understanding of diseases, pathogens, tissue weaknesses, and you will increase your understanding of appropriate uses of plant-based micronutrient choices to assist your efforts in building infection-fighting antibodies.
Linnaeus once said, “Herbs and plants are medical jewels gracing the woods, fields, lanes; which few eyes see, and few minds understand”.
Dr. T. Colin Campbell, who is Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, has had a long career in research (50 years), teaching and development of national and international on diet, nutrition and health. His studies have ranged from work in the Philippines developing a nationwide program for feeding malnourished children to the organization and directorship of a nationwide study on diet, health and disease in the People's Republic of China, commonly known as the China Study.
He is probably best known for his work in the China Study and as Senior Science Advisor during the formative years of the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) and the World Cancer Research Fund. AICR awarded him the 1998 Lifetime Achievement Award in Cancer Research.
In article titled NUTRITION, THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE , October 25, 2010, Huffpost Health, Campbell was quoted: “The National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is the most influential research funding agency in the world, is comprised of 27 institutes, centers and programs and not one is named the Institute of Nutrition. Research funding is a mere pittance in a couple of the institutes and most of this is dedicated to the study of individual nutrients that I consider pharmacology, not nutrition.
Further, there is not a single medical school in the country that teaches nutrition as a basic medical science. At best, a few may have an elective course that treats the subject in a most superficial manner.
Public citizens, therefore, are left to fend for themselves against the hyped up claims of the food and drug industries.
If we are to understand the true value of nutrition, we must begin by considering the health-value of whole foods, not the nutrient parts extracted from them. In that context it is whole, plant-based foods that express an effect that is far more than the sum of its parts. When done right, advanced heart disease can be cured, type 2 diabetes stopped and reversed, cancer can be prevented and, with some newer evidence, controlled after it appears. The range of diseases that can be prevented is more than impressive. The breadth and rapidity of the nutritional effect not only prevents disease but actually treats many of these diseases while restoring and maintaining health. The totality of these health effects are far more than almost anyone knows.
It is terribly frustrating when I know these effects, I know the savings in health care costs that can be had and I know the personal responses that virtually everyone experiences when they try this for a week or so. I also know that, historically, we have been slaves to a nutrition-less health information system that, in effect, is designed to keep us in mental chains, thus to maintain the status quo.”
JACQUE'S COMMENTS: This class is a huge investment of my life, created with the desire to share what I have learned through many years of research, training and experience. I absolutely agree with Dr. T. Colin Campbell's research. Come and join our class! We are videoing these classes, in order to make them available online, for those who are not local, and for those who would like to learn in their own timeframe at home. I will provide you with an understanding of illnesses, syndromes, diseases and imbalances - and will also provide holistic answers to prevention and treatment.
