Guest guest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Before I start my first question is if anybody has had education from Kaplan University and if they felt it is a great program for nutrition and healing. I want to get a decent paying job so I can afford this education. I was considering either becoming a doctor or some sort of health/psychology/exercise specialist. I was hoping to be able to blend in the teachings of Weston A. Price's, Pottenger's, Hippocrates, Primitive healthy culture's nutritional and health wisdom. Including the nutritious recipes of Aajonus Vonderplanitz and Sally Fallon's books. I don't know how far I can go with formal education and not having to bend my principals from the diet dictocrats of education. I was curious if there were any classes I would want to take for having the legitimate right to recommend raw foods, teaching about good bacteria vs. the teachings of Pasteur, and healing with a holistic approach. I was also thinking about learning some chiropractic and massage work to aid in this too. I may instead just refer the individual to a professional I respect. I am thinking of a professional that specializes in injury/chiropractic/pranic healing/and massage therapy. I feel posture is important for health and may refer a client to a professional if they are injured. I may also refer people to online products; for ex.: like a house water filter that removes chloramines and flouride from their tap water. I will complete the first round of education and then maybe delve into other areas later on after I make a far greater level of income with my current education. I was surprised because right after signing up online for more information I had gotten a phone call right away. The individual spent an hour talking to me and said it was normal for him to do this. He was ready to throw the information at me. He also said other Universities charge people just for this part alone while I was not charged. This is what I compiled. This sounds expensive so I am brainstorming some ideas to be able to afford it. I can publish some books on my current knowledge, start with cheaper education and become a fireman, train hard and become an ultimate fighter. Something. I want to become an ultimate fighter to prove my concepts will not only produce an anomaly of athletic performance, but to make a buttload of money to further my education. I like the idea of ultimate fighter because I already have an intuitive and experiential knowledge of mixed martial arts and optimum training protocols. $353 a credit $63,540 180 requirements elective classes 59 nutrition science health and wellness nutritional biochemistry (optional) nutrition for special populations (optional) nutrition across the human life cycle (optional) Food Safety and Microbiology (optional) core requirements 33 communications mathematics arts and humanities physical science social science major requirements 88 academic strategies for the healthcare professional scientific foundations of exercise and fitness vitamins, herbs, and nutritional supplements complimentary and alternative medicine models for health and wellness contemporary diet and nutrition principals of nutrition current trends in exercise and fitness: aging well across the lifespan stress: critical issues in management and prevention creating wellness: psychological and spiritual aspects of healing 59 open electives 10-11 classes for major requirements I will be interactive with the following individuals.
