One Final Note

One final note before you get started. You may notice when reading this course that there is some repetition of certain material. This is a classic distance-learning technique, and it is consciously used to reinforce key points.

Also, remember that the information in this course is not intended to take the place of diagnoses or treatments by a qualified medical practitioner or naturopath. In holistic health, our focus is always to bring the body back into balance for optimal wellness. At all times, refer clients to licensed medical professionals for diagnoses or treatments of disease..
