Some Questions and Answers About the Courses

What is Natural Hygiene?

         In a nutshell, the philosophy is this:

Natural Hygiene recognizes that the human body is a fully self-sufficient organism that is self-directing, self-constructing, self-preserving and self-healing; and that it is capable of maintaining itself in superb functioning order, completely free of disease, if its basic needs are properly met.

         Natural Hygiene is the only systematic and logical study of what it takes for people to achieve health and excellence in the many different spheres of life. Through discerning observation and careful study of nature, and of mankind's harmonious place in it, Natural Hygiene has come to encompass all that serves to support and encourage health and personal growth for everyone. Learning and following the Natural Hygiene lifestyle will enable you to achieve health and well-being that you have never imagined!

Why should I consider taking this Course?

         This independent study course is "user-friendly" and geared towards the motivated student who wants thorough and accurate knowledge of nutrition and health. Information is factual and up to date. You will receive an in-depth understanding of personal health care principles that will benefit you and those you love for a lifetime.

What are the benefits of completing the Course?

         By satisfactorily fulfilling the requirements of the Essential Natural Hygiene Course, you will be awarded a Certificate of Completion. This signifies a firm understanding of the basic concepts of Natural Hygiene. This excellent grounding in all the principles and practices of Natural Hygiene will help you immensely to "stick to it", since being armed with solid knowledge can definitely help to keep you going on your path to high-level health and well-being. It will also help you to instill this superb lifestyle into your home for your loved ones. No doubt you will get many questions asked of you, and this Essential Course will give you many simple and straightforward answers to people's questions about this lifestyle.

         Upon graduation from the Essential Course, if you decide to go further, you may elect to enroll in the Advanced Courses. These Courses enable you to become knowledgeable in specialty areas of Hygiene.

         Most importantly, if you desire to move toward a career in Natural Hygiene, you should strongly consider completing the Professional Hygienist curriculum. Along with the Essential Natural Hygiene course, this curriculum includes of the Advanced Nutrition course, the Advanced Health Care course, the Healthy Infants, Children and Seniors course, and the Career in Health Consulting course.

         Completion of each of these, together, will qualify you to be considered to become a member of the Healthful Living Consultants group (HLC), a society of Hygienic doctors, educators, consultants and health professionals.

         The HLC group has been established by currently practicing hygienic doctors and professional hygienic consultants to act as a forum, referral list and clearinghouse for information, networking and support for hygienic professionals all over the world.

         You should congratulate yourself for even considering this challenge. It is a big commitment, but one that will change your life forever. I consider each of us to be pioneers, blazing new paths and reaching new heights in personal growth. We are lucky to be among those who have been inspired to move forward with this vital mission.

         Our goal is to inspire, motivate and enable a positive shift in the attitude towards healthy living of as many people as possible. Together with you, we can and will make this happen!

Can you tell me more about the Courses?

         The learning opportunities offered at our are unique in the personal health care field. Unlike the faddish therapeutic "fix it" systems that dot the alternative health care field today, you will find the principles of Natural Hygiene to be firmly based on the timeless infinite wisdom of nature; it is experientially true and increasingly scientifically understood and proven. Natural Hygiene will often seem to conflict with popular notions about health, but upon deeper examination you will find that the tenets of Natural Hygiene are sound, straight forward and of good common sense. Natural Hygiene works! It is absolutely true that health is only created by healthful living. This is our focus.

         You can complete the courses at the pace that suits your lifestyle best - intensive or relaxed. But it does require commitment and an open-minded attitude. You will learn and experience radically new, but amazingly simple practices that will provide you with wonderful health and useful tools to use for the rest of your life. You can enjoy phenomenal benefits if you undertake this course of study with sincerity and dedication.

         This is the most "student-friendly" program you will ever work with, and at the same time it is extremely comprehensive.

         Each lesson starts with the "theme", the basic principle expounded throughout the lesson. It provides a clear statement of the lesson's objectives. All major sections are identified and the instructions are clearly listed.

         The material in each lesson presents a strong argument in support of its theme. New vocabulary is clearly defined in separate sections. The key concepts and salient or important facts are fully developed for each lesson. Lastly, a detailed outline of each lesson is provided for easy review and to develop mastery of the materials.

In-Depth Lessons

         The in-depth lessons you receive are rich in Anatomy, Physiology, Biology, Biochemistry, Pathology, Cytology, Physical Fitness, Holistic Living and Nutritional and Health Sciences. The Essential Course is geared toward the newer aspirant in Natural Hygiene, and is relatively lighter in depth in order to cover all the necessary ground for a comprehensive understanding of the basics. Still, you will be challenged to learn and understand the basic principles fully, for they are often very different from what most of us have been taught regarding health care.

         The Advanced Courses cater to those who really want to dig deeply into the how's and why's of this wonderful health care system. The Advanced Lessons cover all the basic principles in much greater depth, as well as also exploring the lesser known, but still highly important areas of Natural Hygiene. Completing the Professional Hygienists curriculum will give you a thorough grounding in all relevant aspects of Natural Hygiene.

         Each lesson is really a mini-course in it self, with each lesson focused on a particular aspect of health. The spectrum of health sciences that these lessons cover makes the full course comparable to having a health library in your own home.

         Each lesson is structured in a logical, progressive format, as shown in this example from Lesson 1:
