Schools For Naturopathy And Acupuncture?

My son had an epiphany of sorts a couple of months ago. I don't really understand how or why it happened but one night he had some kind of an experience that seems to have changed him totally. I was actually worried at first because it just didn't seem I was talking to my boy. He is so bright, peaceful and full of hope for his future. He has even asked some girls out! Something my Aspie son has never been able to do. Anyway we talked at length yesterday and he wants to check out chinese medicine, naturopathy and acupuncture. He plans on moving back to NY and returning to college either online or in conventional classes. Online would work well for him for naturopathy if there are any good schools as he was blessed with an incredible sponge for a brain and learns much faster than conventional classes move. Does anyone know of any good ones? There are so many that give rather 'bogus' degrees that are actually more like paying for permission to sell a companies products that I was hoping perhaps someone here might have some knowledge of a good one.

PS He also is looking for a buddhist temple or a place where he can learn about Buddhism from the monks? Are there any of these in the US?

I'm not sure about the monk aspect but my friend went to Bastyr it is located in WA state and is supposed to be one of the best in the country. I realize it isn't in NY. She went over to China to study for 6 weeks also at some point through the school. She is a nutritionist and acupuncturist.

I can vouch for it, acupuncture really does work. Here is there web site.

Thanks for the link, I am a firm believer in acupuncture myself. It helped me a lot prediagnosis.

I think Naropa University in Boulder, CO has some online options, but I'm not sure what they offer in terms of acupuncture.

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.
