At first I was not looking forward to this course. However, I absolutely loved it! Will surely re-read this multiple times, and surely pickup something I did not focus on previous times around. Thanks, truly enjoyed this course!
Enjoyed learning the history. Very interesting. Wish I would have been taught this in nursing school
SO amazing!!! Wow! The history & Foundations course material was so informative! I cannot wait for more!!!
I thouroughly enjoyed learning about the origins of naturopathy. It has made me more excited to continue learning more about it.
This class is an excellent beginner’s class for the journey of completing the Naturopathy program. It gives a sense of understanding where this knowledge came from and how it is perceived in the present day.
Great introduction to medical history. I enjoyed learning about it. I found learning about the transition from natural medicine to orthodox medicine interesting as it answered a lot of my pre-existing doubts of the pharmaceutical industry.
