COMBINED CLASSES OF ANATOMY/PHYSIOLOGY AND HOLISTIC PATHOLOGY

Some of the body systems are less complicated than others, thus they can be taught more simply.  For that reason, some Anatomy/Physiology and Holistic Pathology classes are combined.  The combined classes will begin at 12:00 noon instead of 12:30 pm as the extra 30 minutes is needed to cover all of the material.  Combined classes are $30 (a savings of $20 instead of taking 2 classes separately).

Class fees for certification is $25.00 for 2 hour classes, and $30 for combined classes (includes the class manual).  Non-certification registration is available for $15.00 for 2 hours classes, and $20 for combined classes.  Combined classes are green.

CALL 480-296-4699 TO REGISTER or email botanicaleducation@gmail.com

 It's time to distill Lavendar essential oil!  This is my "Eve" plant, beautiful, always giving!  My Rosemary plants are also ready for distilling, but the Chamomile plants are still young (but will be ready in Feb/March).  It's an early season in Arizona this year with the exceptionally warm winter weather.  I hope you planted a vegetable garden!  Mine went in the first week of December - and is doing beautifully!

HOLISTIC PATHOLOGY - ILLNESS AND DISEASE REDUCTION NATURALLY

HOLISTIC PATHOLOGY – Disease prevention and reduction using Nutrition, Herbs, Essential Oils

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.  Email me at botanicaleducation@gmail.com for information.This week's class is RECOGNIZING AND TREATING DISEASES OF THE SKIN, TISSUES AND INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM Holistically!  Join us Thursday at 12:30 - 2:30 pm!

SELF DIAGNOSIS CLASS Validated by DR. OZ SHOW 10-20-2011

Self Diagnosis, Your Body is Speaking, Are You Listening?  Students this week were taught, using a 40 page manual and powerpoint with pictures,methods anyone can use to READ THE BODY, and learn what it is trying to tell you that it needs.

We covered EYES, such as disappearing eyebrows, an indicator of low thyroid, liver imbalances, etc, and IRIDOLOGY where you can see tissue weaknesses, conditions of cholesterol, weak circulation to the brain, parasites, unmanaged stress, and so much more.

We also studied the TONGUE, how it tells us of digestive disorders, allergic reactions to food, Candida, B12 deficiency and so much more.

Also NAILS, which show us zinc deficiency, stress, iron deficiency, risks of arthritis, fungal conditions, protein deficiency and more.  And did you know your EARS can tell you of heart disease, your feet can tell you of Diabetes2, mineral deficiencies, etc.

Students emailed and called later that night when DR. OZ had a guest doctor from Europe on his show, who accurately diagnosed several studio guests who had previously been diagnosed from allopathic medicine (Western Medicine), and the guest "HOLISTIC" doctor used TONGUE, IRIDOLOGY and EAR diagnosis to tell Dr. Oz his diagnosis within one minute!  Dr. Oz was astounded, yet still apprehensive, because it was so foreign to his training.      Thank you, Dr. OZ, for helping America to see that our bodies can help us diagnose 90% of all our imbalances and ailments!  KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, and I love how education empowers us! 

Join us in the upcoming classes on HOLISTIC PATHOLOGY - which give holistic approaches to illnesses, diseases, and syndromes of the body systems.  HOLISTIC means a WHOLE approach, "choosing the best that is available, whether a home remedy, nutrition correction, herbal medicine, aromatherapy, or pharmaceuticals".

The new Holistic Physiology (illnesses, diseases and syndromes) series will work best being taught alternating with the Anatomy and Physiology (Body Systems) classes.  Those who have taken Body Systems already are welcome to re-attend classes if they feel that they need "freshening-up".  Anatomy and Physiology classes begin October 6th (12:30 - 2:30 pm) and due to Fall Break in the school systems the Holistic Pathology series begins October 20th 12:30 - 2:30 pm. 


To certify as a Certified Holistic Healthcare Professional (CHHP) you will choose 2 of the basic pathways (Certified Aromatherapist, Certified Herbalist or Certified Holistic Nutrition Educator - all level 1 and Level 2 classes) and then take the Anatomy and Physiology, Holistic Pathology and Holistic Health and Healing with Quantum Physics Therapies.

Level 1 Aromatherapy (Passport to the World of Aromatherapy) begins Saturday, October 22 9:00 am - 3:30 pm.  This series is taught once per month on a Saturday, and is hands-on, learning, experiencing, making essential oils products and learning blending methods. 


Schedule for all classes 2011-2012 is being finalized.  Email us a botanicaleducation@gmail.com with your questions and to be added to the class email list. 


My purpose in presenting these classes is to educate and to prepare people to be able to handle 97% of the situations that they will encounter as mothers, parents, neighbors in regards to preventing and handling illnesses and diseases.  It is my great privilege to see people change their pathways from disease environments into healthy environments by using the plants and minerals of the earth.
