TRAINING IN NUTRITIONAL BALANCING SCIENCE
Page
Updated October 10, 2011
The
Center For Development is pleased to offer a basic and advanced
training in nutritional balancing science and hair analysis interpretation.
Nutritional balancing is
a very exciting, sophisticated, safe, and powerful method to correct body
chemistry and improve oneÕs health and well-being at the deepest levels.
It is based on correcting oneÕs diet
and lifestyle, along with the addition of about 8 or 9 precisely targeted
nutritional supplements. It is
mathematically precise, and must be done this way or it wonÕt work. The design of the diet and supplement
program is based on a unique way of interpreting a hair tissue mineral analysis. For accuracy, the mineral testing
laboratory must not wash the hair at the lab at all.
The founder of nutritional balancing
science, or mineral balancing, as it
was sometimes called, was Dr. Paul C. Eck. He was a brilliant nutritionist, biochemist and researcher
who lived from 1935 to 1996. I was
fortunate to study with him for 14 years.
Since his death, I have refined his
work, adding new hair analysis patterns, a few important changes in the
supplement recommendations, clearer dietary suggestions, and the use of near
infrared sauna therapy, coffee enemas and the Roy Masters meditation. While the basics are the same, these
changes have made the programs much more powerful and even safer.
Nutritional balancing does not involve
the use of remedies, except on rare occasions. It also does not involve the use of medical drugs,
bio-identical hormones, chelation therapy, or most
herbs. We find these to be either
less safe, or less effective than the methods we use. Most physical, as well as mental/emotional
ailments respond well to this particular corrective therapy. We do not recommend it for advanced cancers
at this time, although you may inquire about this with me.
The basic training, leading to a Diploma in Nutritional Balancing Science,
is described below. To learn about
the advanced training, which is open to all health practitioners, whether or
not they complete the basic training, click on Advanced
Training And Coaching in Nutritional Balancing Science.
BASIC
TRAINING – THE DIPLOMA PROGRAM
The basic training consists of two
parts:
1. Three home-study courses.
2. A nutritional balancing program for
yourself if you are not already on a program.
The
courses. Each course includes a study guide, a textbook, and an
examination that you complete at home and mail in for grading. The subject matter of the courses is as
follows:
COURSE #1. THE SCIENCE AND PRACTICE OF NUTRITIONAL BALANCING. This course covers a wide array of
topics and is the largest course, with 240 examination questions. Topics include the theory of the
science, the use of hair mineral analysis, interpretation of the hair mineral
tests, understanding diet, lifestyle, basic supplementation, detoxification,
healing reactions, and much more.
The textbook for this course is the
fourth edition (2010) of Nutritional Balancing and Hair Mineral
Analysis by Lawrence Wilson, MD.
COURSE #2. THE SCIENCE AND PRACTICE OF SAUNA THERAPY. This course covers many areas of healing
and detoxification, focusing on the use of an unusual type of sauna that uses
infrared heat lamps. Topics
include the theory of sauna detoxification, physiological effects of sauna
bathing, cautions, protocols, contraindications and procedures for sauna use,
sauna design and construction, and more.
The textbook for this course is the
2006 or 2011 edition of Sauna Therapy by Lawrence Wilson, MD.
COURSE #3. LEGAL ASPECTS OF A NUTRITION CONSULTING PRACTICE. This shorter course discusses many
aspects of how to conduct a nutritional consulting practice to avoid legal and
other types of difficulties that often plague natural healers. Topics range from understanding the
structure of American and Anglo-Saxon law, understanding the occupational
licensing laws, legal and business options for working as a nutrition coach,
physician or consultant, common pitfalls and errors practitioners make that
cause legal problems, how to deal with local and federal authorities, and much
more.
The textbook for this course is Legal
Guidelines For Unlicensed Practitioners by Lawrence Wilson, MD. The course is excellent for licensed
practitioners, as well as unlicensed ones.
The basic program culminates in a Diploma In Basic Nutritional Balancing
Science.
The three course are designed to
prepare anyone to offer nutritional balancing programs to others by providing
basic reference and other necessary knowledge. This program not designed to teach the details of how to set
up a nutritional balancing program.
Rather, it is designed to be used in conjunction with the Advanced Training And Coaching. In the advanced training, the
practitioner reviews actual cases with a coach who I assign in order to assist
others with their health conditions.
Accreditation. The Diploma is awarded by Westbrook
University, an accredited distance learning university based in West Virginia,
USA.
Prerequisites. The major prerequisites for the Diploma
program are a desire to learn this work, and a desire to help others with their
health. Knowledge in the fields of
nutrition, physiology, biochemistry, psychology and/or degrees in medicine,
naturopathy, chiropractic or other healing arts may be helpful to understand the
material, but is not required at this time.
Students are also required to follow a
nutritional balancing program themselves while they take the course.
Fees.
The fee for the entire Diploma program is $500.00 US dollars for those in the
United States. For international
orders, please add $60.00 for extra shipping and handling of the course
materials for a total fee of $560.00 US dollars for international students.
How
long does it take to complete the program? You may take as
long as you like to complete the three open-book examinations. Some people finish the courses in as
little as two months, while other take longer. It just depends how much time you spend on the courses.
Exam
scoring. When you have finished the examinations, mail the exams
back to me. I will grade them and,
assuming you pass the exams with a score of 90% or better, your Diploma will be
mailed to you immediately from Westbrook University.
If you do not score 90% or better on
all three examinations, issuance of the Diploma will be delayed. I will mail your exams back to you and
you will need to correct the exam answers that were incorrect and mail the
low-scoring exams back to me for regrading. If the exams are still not
satisfactory, I may mail them back to you again for more corrections, or I may
decide that you are not yet ready to learn nutritional balancing science. So far, this has never occurred,
however.
Ability
To Offer Hair Mineral Analysis.
With this Diploma, you may open a mineral analysis account at Analytical
Research Laboratories. This allows
you to offer hair tissue mineral analysis and to purchase the hair mineral
analyses and nutritional products at a discount as well.
HOW TO
BEGIN THE BASIC DIPLOMA PROGRAM
The procedure is to send me a letter
with your full address, phone number and email, along with your payment of
$500.00 US if you live in the United States, or $560.00 if you live outside of
the United States.
Payment
