Read this kudo from a September 2006 Trimester One
student about a pair of National graduates. “I chose
National because my two favorite chiropractors are
graduates of National. In my lifetime, I have seen seven
chiropractors... Of all these, chiropractors, the ones
from National were the best... They conducted the
most thorough exams, spent the most time with me
(the patient), and had the best technique for adjusting
my spinal column. The experiences I had with these
two individuals were the most positive experiences I
have ever had with a chiropractor.”
And another tribute from a Tri One student: “I have
looked into many schools in the field. I have also
consulted doctors working in this field for
recommendations as to which school I should attend.
Surprisingly, all the doctors and patients that I talked
with recommended me to do some research on
NUHS. Also, all the chiropractors that I talked to
actually graduated from National and had given me a
lot of good comments about NUHS, including: great
curriculum, small classes, excellent professors that are
helpful and friendly.”

Giving
What does it mean to you
to give?
Is it to give back to the less
fortunate? Is it to give back
to your community? Is it to
give back to your church or
synagogue? Is it to give
back to your family? Is it to
give back to your profession?
I suppose we all have different reasons to give or not
to give. I like the following quote from Sir Winston
Churchill (1874-1965), “We make a living by
what we get; we make a life by what we give.”
Many of us have been given so much. Some of these
gifts have been the direct result of our education at
National. Why not consider giving back something
to your alma mater? As I often hear from our local
high school football coach on Saturday morning
radio, “Get It Done!” To “get it done” you have to
take some action. The following quote from Aristotle
(384 BC-322 BC) talks about getting it done.
“All human actions have one or more of the these
seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit,
reason, passion, and desire.”
So if by chance you have taken the time to read
this far; if it is within your nature to give back; if
you feel a compulsion to give back; if it has become
a habit to give back; if you have a reason to give
back; if you have a passion to give back; or if you
have a desire to give back, then please consider
giving back to the institution and family of which
you are an important member. Family isn’t about
whose blood you have. It is whom you care about.
To paraphrase the Bible, choose you this day to
what you will give back, as far as me and my
house, we will give back to those we care about.
That is why National has been and always will be
an important part of our giving.
Sincerely,
Thomas D. Stotz, DC, Chair

 Naturopathic Medicine
By Fraser Smith, ND
Department Chair
A total of five students have started their studies this
trimester in NUHS' new Doctor of Naturopathic
Medicine (ND) Degree Program, and more have
already applied for future trimesters as far ahead as
September 2007.
The program will lead to an ND credential and has
similarities to its chiropractic counterpart. NUHS
will receive advanced standing for their work in basic
science, especially those who have attended a program
like that of NUHS, which has extensive education in
this area. Like all ND, DC, MD, or DO programs,
this would be full or near full-time and on site (versus
correspondence or web-based).
There are two things that will push this program
forward. One is that as the first ND class moves along
and gets into more advanced clinical courses, there
will be a point where DC alumni of NUHS would
find the curriculum adds to their knowledge. These
new courses will unfold in the next couple of years as
the first group finishes up with their basic science
time. The second reason is that achieving candidacy
status with CNME, something we would like to
achieve within the next couple years, will increase
enrollment overall.

Massage Therapy
alumni would recognize many aspects of the ND
program as similar to their own education. Part of the
reason for this is that both professional practices
require grounding in the basic sciences, extensive
training in diagnosis, and a broad range of
therapeutics.

Naturopathic medicine encompasses the use of

treatments such as nutrition, botanical medicine,
homeopathy, physical medicine, and others. In
varying degrees, these are already a part of the DC
program at NUHS. The length of the two programs
is similar as well — 10 trimesters full time. Graduates
