How do I find out about natural health/nutrition careers?

[samariah]

I would really really love to get some sort of career in nutritional therapy or something with a more holistic, nutrition slant. I'm not talking about the traditional dietician programs offered at colleges but something more alternative that I could get some sort of certificate in. I am having trouble finding any decent amount of information on what Im looking for though. Anyone have any clue? Would anyone with a holistic medicine, natural foods or nutrition related career care to share some helpful information with me or even just details of your own experience?

Thanks :)

Not to be discouraging, but pretty much all regular courses are controlled by the drug and food industry for their benefits. For example, nutritionists MUST tell people to eat dairy, meat, etc. or they will loose their job, it's is a fraud, quackery and death industry.

For that reason I've decided to become a firefighter which is about the only job where you can honestly help others. The "health" industry is really a death industry.

Hopefully you can find something alternative but it will be hard finding a job where you can help people with health problems because it's illegal (the law clearly states "Only a drug can prevent, treat or cure a disease", anyone saying that diet or herbs or supplements will prevent or cure a disease is a criminal and will be jailed).

What a wonderful world we live in.
