What is a Master Herbalist?

Many people have asked me, "what exactly is a master herbalist?" So here is a basic explanation of what a Master Herbalist is and does.

A Master Herbalist is a health educator.

A Master Herbalist is NOT a medical doctor and so does not diagnose illness, prescribe medicine (natural or otherwise), or treat patients (not because they are not capable, but because of the large medical lobby in Washington that is constantly striving to place as many legal restrictions as possible on their competition).

(See Terms and Disclosures)

A Master Herbalist believes that everyone should be their own "doctor" and take care of themselves without being dependent on medical professionals.

What is the difference between an Herbalist and a medical doctor?

At the most basic level, a doctor uses toxic dangerous treatments to help you feel better fast, but usually leaves you with your disease.

An Herbalist shows you how to get well by correcting the original cause of your disease so you can feel great for life without being dependent on drugs.

There is an old Chinese proverb that says, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

So it may help you to think of it like this: a doctor gives you a fish, but an herbalist teaches you how to fish... "

Give a man a pill and you help him for a day; teach a man how to care for himself and you help him for a lifetime."

A Master Herbalist believes in:
-- Preventing disease through nutrition and a healthy lifestyle
-- Eradicating the root cause of illness, rather than just suppressing its symptoms, as allopathic medicine does
-- Healing the body, as a whole, through natural methods
-- Educating others so that they can supply their own health care for themselves, their families and their friends.

A Master Herbalist uses safe and effective wholesome herbs and products that are a natural part of the human experience to address and correct the cause of illness... a Master Herbalist does not employ dangerous, toxic, or habit-forming medicines, preparations of isolated chemicals in an unnatural state, or invasive procedures that interfere with natural processes (in other words, no pharmaceutical drugs or other violations of the Hippocratic Oath); Master Herbalists employ herbs and other natural aids with prudence and skill to ensure complete safety and maximum benefit.

Master Herbalists work in many areas of the natural health field, such as:
-- Developing and marketing their own herbal formulas
-- Consulting for supplement manufacturers
-- Working as nutritional consultants in health food stores
-- Writing for health magazines
-- Authoring herbal and health texts
-- Teaching in alternative health schools
-- Operating health food stores
-- Teaching / Coaching individuals in person and over the phone
-- Lecturing at health conventions
-- Consulting with pharmacists and doctors to teach them the correct usage of herbs
-- Teaching classes all over the world on the correct usage of herbs
-- Etc.

A Master Herbalist is trained in areas such as:
-- The root cause of all disease
-- Curing "incurable" diseases like cancer, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, and multiple sclerosis, and other auto-immune diseases with natural methods
-- Correcting depression, anxiety, women's, men's, and children's health problems, skin problems like eczema, psoriasis, and acne
-- How to make simple home remedies from the spices in your cupboard and the wild herbs in your own back yard
-- How and when to cleanse
-- Basic home health care with herbs
-- Emergency health care/first aid with herbs and other natural methods
-- The proper role of nutrition in health care
-- The dangers of and alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs and vaccinations
-- Basic herbal midwifery
-- Dangers of artificial sweeteners, psychiatric drugs, and safe herbal alternatives
-- Healing methods of herbal pioneers like Dr. John Christopher, Samuel Thompson, Pavvo Airola, and others
-- Diet and pregnancy
-- Basic botany
-- Identification of herbs in the wild
-- Organic gardening and horticulture
-- Making tinctures, salves, ointments, teas, oils, and other herbal preparations
-- Advanced herbal techniques
-- Herbal formulation
-- History of herbal medicine
-- Advanced herbal therapies and cold sheet treatment
-- Herbal chemistry
-- Ethnobotany (traditional usage of plants)
-- Jurisprudence (legality of herbal practice)
-- Teaching and lecturing
-- Human anatomy and physiology
-- Herbal pharmacognosy (study of whole-plant medicines)

My Mission Statement

I believe that absolutely everyone can be well using the natural healing gifts that our Creator has made available to us.

I teach people how these techniques have been used and are being used to heal disease, repair injuries, and produce optimum health for people of all ages.

I am not a doctor, so I don't diagnose illness or prescribe medicine.

I believe that everyone should be their own doctor by learning how to care for themselves and their loved ones, and I am privileged to be able to provide education and information to my clients on a variety of health related topics.

I hope to one day make myself unnecessary by making everyone an expert on how to care for themselves on their own.

As the Bible says in Hosea 4:6, "My people perish for lack of knowledge."

People are having life-saving knowledge kept from them!

It is my purpose here to do everything within my power to correct this problem.

Most people have, you know, found themselves wanting something better than what is usually offered to them.

That is what Natural Healing is.

It offers a much better choice for people who want to get well and not have to sell everything they own to pay medical bills or risk terrifying side-effects.

I believe that God has provided us with absolutely everything that we need to be completely well.

All we need to do is simply discover how to use His healing gifts to eliminate our diseases.

Dr. John Christopher (and many other great natural healers) taught, and I firmly believe too, that there are NO incurable diseases, although there are a few incurable people - that is, those who refuse to do everything that is necessary to get well, and those who's "time has come," for we will all die some day.

The goal of natural healing is not to "cheat death," but to increase the quality and length of life, and allow death to be a totally painless, dignified, joyous experience in the presence of one's loved ones.

Natural healing seeks to prevent premature death and make life the best experience that it can be, free of disease and disability, and minimizing pain and suffering (for no one's life has been completely free of discomfort, especially the emotional kind, but we can certainly reduce it dramatically).

Natural Healing is God's gift to humanity that He provided so we would not have to suffer with disease.

All we need to do is use it.

Disease, although it is certainly very common and widespread, is not a natural part of life, and it is not inevitable for anyone.

I also believe that Natural Healing should always be simple and easy to understand.

Sometimes it can seem so complicated, especially with all the many books and other materials available, but once you get it, you'll see that it is the simplest thing in the world.

One of my goals is to help you realize how easy it really is to heal the human body of anything that keeps it from having perfect health.

It doesn't take fancy equipment, years in school, patented medications, or any such thing to bring about healing.

Absolutely ANYONE can do it at home in less time and with far less money than they would spend running from doctor to doctor looking for the ever elusive quick fix.

Many people wonder, "Where do I start? There's so much information!" I suggest that you start right HERE.

My Business Philosophy

I believe that you deserve the very best.

That's why I do my best to make sure that everything you experience here is the very best, from reading all the free info. on my site, to purchasing my products, customer service, and my private coaching services.

------------------

I believe that it's important to have an appropriate value exchange when providing something valuable, and my prices reflect that (I AM here to help, but I have to put food on the table too :-) - however I have never refused to work with someone because of an inability to pay, which is why I have several ways of working with folks who can't afford my fees.

If you need my help and are willing to commit yourself to success, but can't afford what I charge, please contact me and we will work something out.

Guarantee

In keeping with the above, if I am (for whatever reason) unable to provide you with the value you deserve, please contact me for a refund, exchange or other appropriate arrangement.

I'm very serious about this - if you're not happy, I'm not happy and I'll do everything in my power to make sure that you leave happy.

Chris, I want to see what you did to heal yourself so I can have great health too!

My Personal Experience with Healing

No one wants to go to a "single marriage counselor," so here's a little bit about my experience with Natural Healing...

I had a number of life altering ailments when I was a child, including: food allergies, hay fever, asthma, eczema, warts, acne, flat feet, frequent (and I mean FREQUENT) bouts of colds and flu, etc.

None of these were life-threatening at the time, though some of them could have become so if I hadn't done anything outside of conventional medicine to reverse them.

They were, however, enough to keep me from living the kind of life that I wanted to live; I couldn't spend much time outside in the summer, I couldn't participate in any strenuous exercise, it was embarrassing being around people with all the skin problems and knowing that other people saw me as "the sick weak little kid who can't do anything."

I REALLY hated that!

But something separated me from most other people who had the same problems - I was desperate to find a way out. I was willing to do whatever it took to get well and be rid of those maddening afflictions.

I prayed for God to heal me - and He did, but not in the way I expected.

I started looking around for cures.

First, of course, my parents took me to medical doctor after medical doctor after medical doctor.

They put me on all kinds of prescriptions which would help with the immediate symptoms, but I was getting steadily worse and worse over time, and two of the drugs they had me on - as I found out much later - could have killed me at the drop of a hat, with absolutely no warning!

These doctors never told me or my parents about any of those potential side-effects!

Then someone suggested that we see a nutritionist.

My parents took me to see her.

My progress with her wasn't very fast, but for the first time, I was actually getting better in some areas instead of worse.

Then they took me to see a chiropractor who recommended some supplements and I got a little better still.

But even though my ailments were starting to come under control, they were still there.

When I started junior high school, two things happened:

1) It was very stressful for me and the stress lowered my immunity and I started getting colds much more often, but my asthma and other problems continued their gradual slow improvement.

2) I started reading some books and magazines about health, I got on a few mailing lists, talked to a few people, and decided that I had to start taking responsibility for my own health, because the doctors were only trying to kill me and no one else seemed able to give me more than partial relief.

I started studying everything I could get my hands on about health and checking out every "miracle cure" I ever heard of.

Over the years I found some that worked, some that didn't, and some that had side-effects that I didn't care for (though none as bad as the prescription drugs).

Over time, I collected the ones that worked into a complete healing program and then, just before I entered high school, I found a Naturopathic doctor (like a medical doctor except with extensive training in natural and wholistic healing methods) who said he just wanted to help people take care of themselves and eliminate their dependence on "modern medicine."

He made everything so simple, a child could understand it and didn't try to sell me thousands of dollars of weird products.

All he was selling was information.

I bought every information product he had at the time, studied like a fiend, and started using some of his techniques.

For the first time in my life I was making very rapid progress toward a total cure.

My last two years of high school, instead of being absent 30 + days due to sickness, which had been the norm for me, I had perfect attendance - two years in a row - even when every other person in the class was out sick, there I was and I was feeling just fine.

I knew I was really on to something.

I was enjoying herbology so much as a hobby that I thought, "Why not make it my profession?"

Then I found the School of Natural Healing, the oldest herbal school in the USA and in my opinion, the best.

The Naturopath whose materials had taught me so much had been trained there (as well as at several other schools).

I enrolled in their Master Herbalist certification program a couple weeks before my high school graduation (I was in a bit of a hurry ;-) and finished two years later.

I had been thinking about adding Massage Therapy to my practice, so I enrolled in the Colorado School of Healing Arts' fast track program and graduated from that 6 months later.

I now do private health coaching with phone and Skype sessions, helping others to find perfect health as I did (in a small fraction of the time it took me), host an internet radio program called Growing Your Health on www.realcoachingradio.net, and conduct trainings at companies that are eager to have the tools I give them.

Chris, I want to see what you did to heal yourself so I can have great health too!
