Question
I have read your book...loved it! I have spent countless hours researching several schools and the reviews for them. In this world of technology  it is so hard to "really" see what you are getting. What I wanted to ask you is, knowing what you know today, which school would you attend and why? I know you are not promoting any particular school etc I just really would like your opinion.
I have checked into Natural Healing College, School of Integrative Nutrition, Kaplan University, Kingdom College of Natural Health, Hawthorn University, and MANY MORE!

Answer
Hi Angie-My favorite online natural health schools for those who want to become natural health practitioners are Kingdom College of Natural Health and Hawthorn University. Natural Healing College looks promising and I have heard good things about the Institute of Integrative Medicine. I used to recommend the Natural Healing Institute of Naturopathy, but they have had some major admin problems within the last year. I think any of these schools will give you a good education. KCNH has a clinical training program as does NHC. Those are very good features.
I hope this helps!
