The Natural Reader

While sometimes it may seem as though life in general is becoming more harried, hectic, and frenetic,  I personally find that this has actually helped me!  I am now even more consistently and consciously using many of the principles found in our courses here at Clayton College of Natural Health.  This includes things such [...]

I had the opportunity to represent Clayton College of Natural Health at our booth at Expo East in Boston recently (9/24 – 9/26) – what an exciting and busy few days!  Our Chief Academic Officer Teresa Nichols was there, along with our Director of Marketing Judy Williams. This was Teresa’s first trade show, and she [...]

Iris Analysis or iridology has been used as a powerful tool to help practitioners and physicians to understand the genetic strengths and genetic deficiencies of the body for centuries.  Some of the first recorded evidence we have of its use dates back 1000 B.C. when it was practiced by the Chaldeans.  Studies of the eyes [...]

When I was in elementary and junior high school, I always walked or rode my bike to school, weather permitting, as most of my class mates did. The school was in a central location in our neighborhood, and most everyone lived within a mile. I have fond memories of this daily ritual – it was a [...]

I opened the newspaper a day ago to find a rave review of a new cookbook that was just released. I first want to say, I love cookbooks. Some people collect dolls, coins, cars… I collect cookbooks. However, this cookbook upset me. The ideas behind it hurt me as a mom and as a nutritionist. [...]
