Doctorate of Holistic Health
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What’s the difference between Holistic and Conventional Medicine?

The main focus of conventional medicine is to treat the disease or the symptoms using harmful chemicals with possible deadly side effects. Holistic medicine treats the whole person and works on strengthening the body’s innate healing ability through the use of herbs, nutrition and other holistic healing modalities.

What is a Doctorate of  Holistic Health?

A Doctor of Holistic Health (HHD) is a person trained in various areas of holistic healing, including Herbal Medicine, Holistic Nutrition, Body-Mind Medicine, Homeopathy, etc. An HHD should possess a holistic philosophy and work on treating the whole person rather than the disease and consider the nutritional needs as well as emotional state of the client being treated.

What are the legal implications of practicing Holistic Medicine?

The HHD Program dedicates an entire lesson to the legalities of practicing as a Holistic Practitioner in the United States. We’ll teach you all the right tools to protect yourself and offer disclaimer forms to have signed by your clients.

For those living in California, on September 24^th, 2002, California Governor Gray Davis signed into law the most important Health Freedom bill in world history - California SB 577. The bill makes health care "wide open." Holistic Health Practitioners, Homeopaths, Herbalists, Nutritionists, etc., are now free to offer services, without harassment.

What career opportunities are available for Doctors of  Holistic Health?

At this point in time, many Holistic Health Practitioners choose to work in private practice offering individualized consultations. Others may be involved in manufacturing or formulating dietary supplements; holding health seminars; writing articles or books on various aspects of holistic medicine; operating or working at a health food store; or educating others about alternative medicine.

How long does it take to complete the program?

The amount of time varies from student to student. Since this is a very comprehensive program it will take a minimum of one year for most people and up to two years for others. There is no set time limit, so you can take as long as you like. However, we do feel that in order to maintain your momentum it is best to study on a regular basis rather than just once or twice a month.
