NUT 307 Whole Nutrition
The goal of this course of study is to provide the student with a basic
foundation in Clinical Nutrition - using the principles of nutrition in
a practical/clinical setting. THis course will introduce concepts which
define the term "natural" as it applies to modalities of healthcare. As
such, students will be taught the difference between whole food concentrate
supplements versus supplements which are fractionated nd synthetic. Much
emphasis shall be placed upon the concept of whole food complexes as "whole
nutrition" based upon the interdependency and interaction of myriad nutrients
which are naturally found within whole foods prior to alteration by either
cooking,k heating, or supplement manufacturing. In addition, students
will analyze disease etiology (causation) from the perspective of nutritional
deficiencies, malnutrition and "foul nutrition," borne of the typical
modern diet which imbalances biochemistry. Students are encouraged to
learn the art of working with a patient/client toward better health and
understanding of nutrition and whole food complex supplementation. 4

NUT 412 Cell Nutrition/Oligo & Trace Elements
Oligotherapy works upon the cell's enzymes by introducing precise low
level amounts of specific trace elements which serve to detoxify and reactivate
blocked healthy enzyme processes. These trace elements restore the normal
functioning capacity of the cell. This enables the body to utilize essential
vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to influence the healing processes
and achieve a renewed state of well-being. This course teaches practitioners
how to administer precise amounts of oligo elements for various maladies.
A discourse on the diatheses and symptomatology of disease is elaborated
