FIT FOR LIFE WELLNESS COLLEGE

OUR EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

We believe the key to the future is information. Our goal is to provide educational opportunity for those interested in making changes towards natural health and healthy living. We are promoting natural hygiene, health and nutrition through education. Health care principles that we teach deeply involve psycho-nero-immunology as an absolute aspect of Natural Health and Alternative Health Care. We perceive human being as a totality.

Natural Health is to be viewed as a lifestyle that promotes healthy living, emotional well being, sound ecological behavior, and an important quality of life for all. Natural Health as a philosophy basically recognizes that human bodies are self-sufficient and capable of maintaining perfect health and freedom from illness and disease if all the basic needs are properly met. Natural Health really encompasses everything we need to nutritionally support ourselves in order to promote good health.

To understand natural health criteria, we must understand where we came from, how we developed as part of the world around us, and how technology has changed our environment as well as our adaptability to these dramatic changes. This obviously involves a comprehensive, systematic and logical study of what is required by humans to achieve a condition of ultimate health in the various stages of life. To reach this goal, we need to understand the nature and analyze mankind’s harmonious place within it.

To achieve a sound basis for the principles of natural health and hygiene, and a strong working knowledge of its application, individuals should follow a path which explores many opinions on the subject. Every educational or mind-expanding process is a process of evolution. What is not understood today can be crystal clear tomorrow.

The learning opportunity we offer is unequaled in today’s ‘Natural Health Care Fields’. The College is committed to removing barriers that traditionally restrict access to higher education by increasing equality of educational opportunity for those who are interested in learning about natural health regardless of their geographical locations or prior academic background.

The study program that we offer is based on accepted modalities. The instruction is intensive and requires commitment from our students and an open-minded approach. You can enjoy phenomenal benefits when you undertake this comprehensive course of study. Our program is challenging and intellectually involving. We believe our students need to plan a course of action and approach their studies in a systematic and organized manner. We advise our students to organize their activities and follow a study schedule that best fits their lifestyle.

We are committed to providing you with the necessary learning tools, support materials, and efficient services to not only successfully complete the course but also to become successful in the Natural Health Care Fields. It is your responsibility to absorb and act on the information that we will provide for you. Remember, together we can and will make great and improved changes!

Our Vision and Purpose

The College specializes in the science of life as applied to human health. Our goal is to provide advanced natural health educational programs to the public through our distance-learning study programs. Our goal is to spread information, knowledge, and healthful concepts. The concept of our course covers various aspects of natural health, hygiene and nutrition as well as proactive bold approaches to preventative and holistic health. We want to inspire a more positive shift in attitudes towards total good health and allow people the opportunity to unlock their body’s own natural self-healing capacities. It is now time for individuals to take the responsibility for their own good health and well being.

Our vision in offering this program is a bold new model that suggests alternative ways of living, primarily through self-responsibility, whereby difficulties are resolved where more basic human needs are addressed. The vision behind our program is to understand the concepts of illness and health in order to unfold the causes and not only symptoms. The study program offers to the public a profound wisdom in a form that everybody can appreciate.

Our methodology is to emphasize the direct effect of food and natural supplements on an individual’s health. Our approach is to explain the general principles of healthy eating, relation of diet to illness, and how the active components of natural foods, supplement and herbs work. The major purpose is to give practical guidelines and approaches on how healthy eating can alleviate a variety of health issues. The concepts and practices that we teach are the reflection of the growing trend of alternative therapies and their relationship to medicine.

The idea is not about challenging medical practices, but rather the emphasis is on balancing the body’s natural abilities to prevent illness. It is now well recognized that we can improve our health by making certain changes in our lifestyle, diet, exercise and stress reduction.

One of the fascinating realms of alternative therapies is its approach to human health as it provides us with clear and concise guidelines and protocols to follow in order to relieve and heal most common health problems. Our approach is to teach you to make healthy choices. The objective is to prepare you to counsel your clients by giving you the required knowledge, understanding and tools of natural health practice.

Our College Comes to You!

Fit For Life® Sciences Institute has been in the Natural Health Education business since the early eighties, sharing the important principles of Natural Hygiene and Nutritional Science and all its practical applications with tens of thousands of people around the world.

Our study program has become the world leader through distance-learning. The College has always maintained a high academic standard and has some of the best recommendations, associations, and accreditations throughout the academic world. Our courses and educational materials have been specifically designed for our program and are incorporated into the curricula of a number of universities, colleges, and schools throughout Europe and countries in Africa and Asia. Many of us, as adult or mature students, may be uncomfortable in the usual rigid structure followed on today’s on-campus education. Our distance-learning program offers an excellent alternative to a campus-based education at a cost far below the standard tuition rates of most on-campus colleges.

Our programs are ideal for those who want to take college courses, but…. they

• are too busy to attend an on-campus program
• live too far from a college or university
• may be living or traveling abroad
• have to work full-time as well
• can not afford on-campus living expenses
• have children and require child-care services
• want to spend more time with their family

Our College, as a distance-learning institution, provides you with the freedom and flexibility to…

• study in your own time and at your own pace
• create your own learning environment in your home
• gain an affordable Diploma for your own career
• begin anytime without pre-set academic terms or interviews
• fit your academic goals around your lifestyle
• study when you have the time and energy

Once accepted and enrolled, our students receive our comprehensive set of course modules, books, and materials covering all aspects of the course with self-administered work-book tests, study guides, essay titles, and scheduled exams.

The College has a growing list of graduates that have expressed sincere enthusiasm for our courses and programs, and we feel that our home-study distance-learning approach is perhaps just one of the reasons. We offer you professional accreditation with a Diploma once you have successfully completed all the requirements. We give you a Certification in Proficiency when you have successfully completed a minimum of 50% of the assigned examinations. Our graduates may upgrade their Certifications or Diplomas by enrolling in our advanced program and receive additional course materials towards a degree program.

Our College and its programs have been designed for virtually everyone, but we also feel that the more mature, more motivated, more self-reliant, and more organized students and individuals will benefit more from our programs and courses because of the flexibility and freedoms they offer. Our courses, by their sheer unconventional nature, are not necessarily designed for, or even practical, for everyone. Some students who are not as motivated or are just not able to work and study in an unsupervised environment may need to rely on a standard on-campus classroom approach comprising of standardized instruction and commitment.

Why is Our Program So Unique?

Our Course is the most “student-friendly” program you will ever work with, and at the same time it provides the most comprehensive information in Natural Hygiene and Nutrition. It is fully self-contained and does not require other study materials, although we do have additional and recommended supplementary materials available for all those who wish to apply a greater emphasis on counseling others, or operating their own alternative natural health care business. The reference materials and publications can also be extremely useful to individuals who want to gain additional knowledge for their personal health and lifestyle improvements.

Each lesson starts with the “theme” of the basic principles that are expounded upon and taught throughout that particular lesson. It provides a clear statement of the lesson’s objectives and all major sections are identified with the same clearly listed instructions. The materials contained in each lesson present strong arguments in support of its theme, and the key concepts and important facts are fully developed for each lesson. Each individual lesson contains its own series of work-book tests so the student can self-test their degree of knowledge and understanding of each specific part before moving on to new information. We know that this independent distance-education diploma course in “Natural Hygiene and Holistic Nutritional Sciences” is the answer you have been searching for.

Academic Programs

Our distance-learning program is highly flexible and does not have a particular calendar. Enrollment is open and no prior academic background is required. You can begin taking the course at any time and at your own pace. You can take the time you need to complete the program. You have up to two years to complete your Natural Health (Hygiene) and Nutrition program. You may; of course, complete your program even sooner if you find you can devote more time to your studies.

Therefore, you must demonstrate competency in each course you take, by passing the examinations whenever you are ready. If you wish to graduate on any particular date you must inform the College at least 60 days prior to any date selected. Upon completion of 50% of the program requirements (54 lessons and 10 written examinations), we will issue and send to you a Certificate of Proficiency.

Following completion of the remaining requirements, and passing the final exam, we will mail your embossed graduation Diploma of “Natural Health and Nutrition” (within six to eight weeks after you have completed all the requirements and graduated from the program).

LESSONS AND COURSE MATERIALS

The Diploma Program, for example, has been divided into 106 lessons, each including theme, rationale, objectives, body of the subject area and assignments. Each lesson has a self-administered work-book test that you should do and correct yourself, to verify that you have gained the basic principles and the concepts discussed in the lesson. In addition to progress tests, at the end of each part of the lesson, there will be an exam, which you complete and submit to the College for grading. Your graded exams will be returned to you by mail along with your scores.

The materials presented in each lesson are in-depth and contain strong supportive arguments to define the lessons basic theme and outline. You will receive factual and in-depth materials and basic knowledge in Anatomy, Physiology, Biology, Biochemistry, Pathology, Cytology, Physical Fitness, Holistic Living, Holistic Practices, Basic Natural Nutrition, and Natural and Holistic Health Sciences.

Each lesson is really a mini-course in itself with each part focused on a particular aspect of health and the full spectrum of Natural Hygiene and Health. These groups of lessons, bound together in book-form, cover the full course and make the series of volumes comparable to having a complete health library right in your own home. Each lesson is laid out and designed in a logical, formatted, and structured presentation for easier learning and a more complete understanding of all the intricate concepts and protocols.

Hear Now From From Some Of Our Graduates:

“As a, graduate of this course, I give it my highest recommendation and strongest endorsement. If YOU want a career in Natural Health, join our team.”

Alois Kolar, BHSc
Author Lecturer, Teacher and Practitioner

Not only has the invaluable knowledge I have gained from doing the course benefited me in my day to day life, confirming what I instinctively felt - that the body knows best, but has also enabled me to steer others to help themselves. Therefore if you've ever had doubts that the way we 'treat' ourselves in this day and age is not necessarily the best or only way there is – this course will challenge you positively to assess for yourself the reality of living health.

The course contents, structure and support system are fantastic, easy to digest (!) and very helpful. The financial investment is more than worth it! Go forth and learn for yourselves (I recommend it most highly)!

Sara Kult-Smith
Student of Natural Hygiene and Nutritional Sciences

After many years of studying so many different health programs (and trying all of them on myself with mixed results), I have finally discovered through this education the primordial principles of health - universal principles (laws) which are impersonal and true for every body, regardless of age or sex or blood type or whatever.

The Fit For Life® Sciences Program has not only taught me what to eat, how to detox my body, and the importance of sufficient rest, fresh air, mental rest, clean water, etc. More importantly, I have learned how to think for myself about my own health and to not be swayed by all the contradictory information out there (you've probably heard that red wine and chocolate are now good for you!). Although I have respect for the medical profession and the emergency skills they have developed, the medical/pharmaceutical model of how the body works (and its underlying false assumptions) were not working for me.

Eve Busher, B.Sc., MBA
Engineering Consultant

“This study course is the most factual, accurate, and myth-shattering nutritional program you will find. It is based simply on how the body operates, and has no vested interests or commercial sponsors to answer to. It is based on biological fact and therefore works. That’s the bottom line….You will get the results you want with this program.”

Art Baker
Author of the book “Awakening Your Self-Healing Body”

“Our own health is the fruit of rightful living practices and no one can prove otherwise. When you plant tomatoes…..you get tomatoes, not avocados. That’s scientific! We are all governed by laws that don’t care what we think of them, they just are! A bird is not a pilot. It just knows how to fly. All the knowledge is within its body. Natural Health (Hygiene) will teach you what your own body already knows.”

Marian Banner

“Now I am practicing and teaching ‘Natural Health (Hygiene)’, giving seminars, meeting with corporate executives, running my own healthful retreat, and writing my own programs and books. This course is the most fundamentally important step anyone can make towards a career or even a much needed personal lifestyle improvements for better natural health and of course longevity.”

Anna Inez Matus
Author, Practitioner and Facilitator

“I have read hundreds of health books in Romanian, German, French, English, and Italian, and have never reached the conclusion that truth is far away from the ‘science’ professed by many in the so-called civilized countries in the world. This course makes the simple and basic truths come alive and allows you to understand and accept how each person must take charge of their own healthful destiny.”

John C. Aldescu

“People who notice the changes in my life often ask me to explain my living practices. I walk five miles a day, play with my eleven grandchildren, and life could not be better. I have surely come a long way from the bloated, hurting, drugged, depressed lupus patient I was before taking this course that really opened my eyes. I tell people everyday that they don’t have to make all the changes immediately but they must work towards making them. A little improvement can go along-way towards better health. I tell them that if they will just steadily make changes in the direction of good health, they will reap the rewards. I am living proof of that and I will never go back!

Marge Fautch

“After a hospital stay for asthma, I was told they could not find the source of my problem and I would just have to limit most activities and live with it. I was only 32 years old at the time! For the record, Natural Health (Hygiene) has saved my life.”

Sherry Ransier

2) BACHELOR’S DEGREE PROGRAM IN THE NATURAL HYGIENIC SCIENCES

Why take a Bachelor's Degree?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that 96% of the 50 highest paying occupations require college degrees and salaries for bachelor's degree holders are projected to be 60 percent higher than for those with Associate Degrees or Diplomas.

Less than a decade ago, non-graduates still anticipated a fair chance at climbing the career ladder. Today, a college degree is almost a prerequisite for employment and certainly for promotion into management.

Increased technology in the workplace and rapidly changing demands forces companies to seek well-trained or seasoned staff. For many positions, a bachelor's degree has become the minimum expectation. A survey conducted by the Information Technology Association of America and Virginia Polytechnic and State University revealed that 83 percent of respondents required a degree for all or most programming positions. Job growth for bachelor's degree holders is expected to exceed 21.9% by 2008.

Types of Degrees

Bachelor's degree programs and program titles vary by educational institution. The two primary bachelor's degree qualification types are:

• Bachelor of Arts (BA). This type of degree type usually requires a majority of coursework be taken in the arts; areas such as social science, humanities, music or fine arts.
• Bachelor of Science (BS). This type of degree usually requires a majority of coursework be taken in the sciences; areas such as life sciences, physical sciences, or mathematical sciences.

Our Fit For Life® Sciences Institute Bachelor of Natural Hygienic Sciences (BHSc) includes significant amounts in both the above designations, most derived from our Diploma or Associate Degree Course in Natural Hygiene (Health) and Nutrition which carries 100 credit hours about 30 more than any other standard course so that you can be well on your way to a Bachelor Degree designation upon successful completion of the venue.

As a practicing professional Hygienic Scientist and Healthcare Facilitator you can and will become a very important and in demand counselor and practitioner within your community.

How many times have you been asked, "What do you want to do when you graduate from high school or College?" Do you answer, "Go on to further education or training, go to work, go traveling, take time off to decide, or I don't know?" How can your friends, parents or relatives help you make life and work decisions? It is easier to make informed, appropriate decisions concerning future directions if you know the questions to ask, and have access to career information and resource material.

Labor market researchers have found that workers of all kinds entering the work force today can expect to experience 4 to 5 career changes in their working life due to changing technological and societal expectations. You will need to continuously upgrade your skills and knowledge in order to keep pace with these changes. Decisions made today will largely determine life and work choices for the future. This represents a major challenge, both to the individual who must make the decision and to their circle-of-influence who may guide and support the decision-making processes for that individual.
