Question
Dear Dr, Larson-Thank you so much for taking the time to volunteer and
help with all the questions. You are doing a great job.
I have looked at KCNH and it looks like they have a great programs. But it
seems the "little people" have singled out the school for criticism. Why? I
know you are a real person and would not be involved with a shady
operation. Can you give readers here some insight as to what is going on?
Thank you in advance.

Answer
Mark-There are some people out there that think if a school doesn't have USDE accreditation, it's a bogus school. I guess they have their right to their opinion. I however, do not share that view. Nor does most of the world. USDE accreditation is not the gold standard world-wide although many Americans, especially those with degrees, think it is.
Kingdom College is a "real" school in that it supplies its students with "real" books, "real" coursework and "real" learning. And students have to demonstrate that they have mastered the courses with "real" papers, projects and exams. If that makes a school "real" then it is "real".
Kingdom College has never claimed to be UDSE accredited, nor will they to my knowledge ever seek it. They prefer to not be under the eye of the US government. When it comes to health, there are some of us that prefer not to be educated by a system that is responsible for over 200+ deaths a year due to iatragenia. I am talking about prescription drugs being the 4th leading killer of people in America, even when prescribed correctly.
I am all about trying to improve the health of Americans and get them out of this system that is clearly causing needless suffering and untimely, painful death. If the medical profession were doing their jobs, then there would be no need for schools like Kingdom. There has to be education out there for the average person so they can learn how to take care of their families. Because the MD's and the medical profession in general are clueless as to how to help people prevent chronic disease. What they are doing isn't working. It's as simple as that. Do you know there are groups of people out there that actually believe that non-licensed herbologists, homeopaths and traditional naturopaths cause great pain and death?  It'd be absolutely laughable if it wen't true. But there are. Guess they just forget about all the people that doctors literally kill every year due to medical screw-ups.
I am not against the medical profession. MDs are good at what they do and that is crisis care. They're great for burns, accidents and acute problems. They can pull you out of situations and we need them. But they have absolutely failed when it comes to disease prevention, because all they know is drugs and drugs are not the answer. Here's something interesting--do you know that almost every one of those mass-killer-kids, Columbine, VA Tech and others, were on anti-depressants? It's true. Here's a tip, vitamin B3 and cutting back on sugar really helps with depression... Wouldn't it be prudent to try vitamin-therapy first instead of giving depressed kids drugs which suicidal thoughts are listed as a possible side-effect? Perhaps murderous thoughts are a side-effect too...
I am hoping that mainline schools and universities will eventually create natural health programs designed for people who do not want to be naturopathic physicians. But I am not too hopeful because I know this health thing here in the US is not about health, but it is about money. If you doubt that, then do some research on aspartame-a known brain toxin- concerning how it got through the FDA in 1984. So, to get non-biased info on health, at this point, I feel that people will have to turn to schools like Kingdom, Global, Westbrook and the like.
Kingdom College of Natural Health is to my knowledge, above-board on everything. And they do have a physical address which is listed on their website and they are registered with Guam, which is a US territory (it is true that they are not listed on Guam's website as registered school-that hopefully, will be taken care of soon. Things move slowly in Guam... It's not like the US). But if I were to ever discover that KCNH was not, I would end my association with them. I am just trying to help people....
I hope this answers your questions. If not, feel free to ask more.
