Theme description : In most Western countries, life expectancy has increased but the quality of life during this increase has not been a very healthy one. Health Education as practiced in preventive medicine acts only upon sanitary and collective plans. In the Alternative Medicine vision, healthy long life expectancy includes individual health education. The health educator and hygienist will be involved at an educational, preventive and curing level. This will help face endogenous and exogenous factors (environment) of health risks, which represent a greater problem in our day-to-day lives trying to maintain our health and a good quality of life.
Theme description : We believe in two methods of treatment for illness: curative and preventive. Modern science and research is based on more radical solutions: .Kill the microbes and you will cure the illness.. All their efforts are guided toward this goal. You have to identify the .intruder. and get rid of it. In contrast, the preventive method of Alternative Medicine promotes its efforts to stimulate the body.s own natural defenses through basic clean personal hygiene, a balanced diet, exercises, movement and the use of natural modalities such as: massages, hydrotherapy, etc. Gradually people in general are starting to understand that prevention of illness is much better than the treatment of illness and is less costly. Creating and maintaining a glowing healthy life makes us mentally and physically more productive at work and enables us to enjoy better assurance when facing difficult times. These are the Pillars of Alternative Medicine.
Theme description : By promoting the art of healthy living the Naturopath, Homeopath or Acupuncturist is foremost a Health Educator. The word .Educate. comes from the Latin word .Educare. which means, .to bring.. The Alternative Medicine Health Practitioner.s role is to .bring., .guide. of accompany his patients towards a world of greater knowledge in holistic health. He will present his client with tools that will help him establish good healthy living habits for his long-term health and not recommend .Miracle. remedies. The practitioner will help his client to develop a critical mind that will bring him to his own way of healthy living.
Theme description : No other subject in relationship to natural health has more importance than nutrition. We believe that the ultimate therapeutic action we can take for our health is through a high quality, diversified diet in convenient quantities. It should be the most important factor taken into consideration when treating illness. These courses have been designed to guide you in your choices for your food, to inform you on the pathologies related to food, to present you the most appropriate therapeutic indications.
Theme description : Whatever the modality of alternative medicine you practice (massages, hydrotherapy, oligotherapy) there is always a global approach that applies to the individual rather than to his illness. These modalities can achieve a considerable level of success. As well as considering the individual in a holistic approach, these modalities will act quickly and simply on the physical and psychic levels to enhance the natural defenses of our body. These modalities are complementary. They can be used in synergy or as a unique approach.
Theme description :
The word Naturopathy is a combination of two words: « Nature » and « Path ». These two words joined together represent nature.s natural path to Holistic Healing. They identify a clinical, as well as a global World reform for Natural Health. This reform aims to achieve the following major objectives:
- To teach the use of natural factors that will promote health.
- To maintain Vital Energy in harmony with the positive and constructive laws of Nature.
- To balance natural mechanisms that help our body resist internal or external aggressions using natural and inoffensive means.
- To choose the appropriate natural health care modalities in respect to an individual.s unique biological terrain, morph psychological type, blood group, diathesic temperament.
Theme description : Bio-Energetic theory relies on very ancient traditional and philosophical values. Two major principles are the base that helps us understand this Oriental Science:
- The 5 Elements and 6 Diathesis. The theory of the 5 Elements considers that, the movement and transformation of 5 principles, form the Universe. These universal laws also affect the Human being, similar to the Universe. The way that our organism reacts to theses powers constitutes the Diathesis.
- Yin and Yang. The result of these two complementary and opposing forces is the Chinese philosophical base of the TAO. These two powers react to one and other and are in perpetual movement and mutation.
Theme description : Homeopathy is a global medicine, which has been highly acclaimed. It uses remedies made from highly diluted and dynamized (energetically charged by rapidly shaking the remedies) vegetal, mineral or animal sources. These remedies are capable of producing a cellular chain reaction in the entire organism. At an elaborate level, a homeopathic remedy will be prescribed in relationship with a person.s temperament, particularities, heredity and environment. The homeopathic Materia Medica of the AMCC is a perfect complement to the course manuals.
Theme description : This subject is definitely a prerequisite for the AMCC. This Certificate is aimed at students who have little or very little scientific, medical or pre-medical studies. It will bring to the student the knowledge of Human Anatomy - Physiology & Pathologies. It is also available for professionals who would like to consolidate and renew their professional knowledge.
