A study guide accompanies The
Clinical Medicine Guide - A Holistic Perspective. You are
guided through the book step by step with additional clarification
and numerous practical self-assessment questions with valuable model
answers. The course follows the structure of the book, but is divided
into 4 study units with various topic-related sections to help you
through the material. In addition to the main study, there are assignment
questions at the end of each section, which will add further life
to the subjects discussed, and will involve you in practical research
of later benefit to you as a practitioner. Full marking of these
assignments can be provided, with expert tutor feedback and support,
and a certificate on completion.
Entitled Pathology and Disease for Alternative Practitioners,
this thorough course will be of great help in developing your understanding
of this complex subject. Colleges teaching a wide range of holistic
therapies in the UK, USA and Ireland use it extensively. Students
world-wide have found the course to be an essential part of training
in holistic medicine.

"The course is giving me a good understanding of symptoms viewed
in a conventional way."
"I can't begin to tell you how much I am enjoying this course!"
"Thank you for your very helpful feedback throughout this course,
as well as the ability to ask any questions I might have. I really
did thoroughly enjoy the course; thought the textbook was extremely
well written, easy to understand. I was afraid of the course, thinking
it would be very technical etc., and that there would be a frightening
amount of memorizing involved, but it was just great!"
"First, I love understanding the science of pathology and disease,
at the no-I'm-not-a-biochemist level. I actually had a patient who
had thyroid symptomatology and it was great to be able to feed off
the knowledge that I gained through doing the essay - and quick
enough after the essay that I actually remembered some of it too.
Now that is really amazing!!"
"In case you wonder whether your book ever gets students to see
what they are supposed to see and do what they're supposed to do,
the answer is YES: A patient with asthma symptoms came to see me.
He had a wracking cough, mild fever, dyspnea, and recent severe
chills. He carried a lidded container into which he frequently hawked
thick green mucus. I took the case. I said, 'I don't diagnose, but
you may have pneumonia.' He saw his MD and was immediately hospitalized
with bilateral pneumonia. He and his wife have been loyal pts since."
"It was a real pleasure to work through your very excellent text
book and to really feel your concern for alternative treatments."
"Many thanks for your tutorship. I wasn't looking forward to doing
a pathology course, but I found yours not only enjoyable but of
great benefit to my chosen field of homoeopathy. It was so nice
to have the alternative therapist's view point confirmed by another
field."
"I am finding the course very interesting and especially the contents
of the textbook. I often don't think that I took much of the information
into my head, but then something seemed to managed to stay in there."
"What I initially felt would be an overload of information actually
has turned out to providing a deeper understanding and alternative
view of pathology."
"Firstly let me commend your book, used as the pathology course
text, I was immediately impressed with your subtle perspective,
and warmed to your open and straight forward presentation, consequently
I enjoyed very much the first unit of the pathology course."
"I have found the information to be helpful already, in some of
the paper cases I've done in my school assignments. It does indeed
seem to be a missing piece that is coming together well. Thanks."
"This course has been really valuable to my professional development
- thanks. I definitely learned more details about the pathology
and disease process from the conventional medical field and felt
reassured with what knowledge was necessary to also practice responsibly
from the alternative perspective."
"It was a very enjoyable and informative course, short, concise,
with plenty of useful information organised in a way that made the
studies of a complex subject relatively easy to understand and grasp.
One could go on learning more about pathology and disease, however,
what you have outlined in the course was sufficient to give a clear
outline of this vast subject with a firm grasp on the core issues
involved in the development of disease and pathology."
"Let me take this opportunity to thank you for your commitment
to holistic practitioners sans medical degrees. With your help well
informed practitioners are going to enter the community, ready to
help and quite aware when the patient before us is in a critical
situation and needs other support. I am growing more confident as
I get deeper into this course in regard to knowing when I am in
over my head."
"Thank you for a wonderful course - your book will have a permanent
place alongside my repertory. I feel much more confident to practice
homeopathy."
