Student Spotlight
Sylvia Callahan, ND, and Candidate, Iridology: Theory and Practice
Back in the 1970s Sylvia Callahan attended nursing school, became a licensed Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), and a Red Cross First Aid and CPR instructor for law enforcement officers – while almost losing her own health in the process. Demanding workdays left her so fatigued that the day she discovered Smoothies was the day that changed her life!
“I had no idea that nutrition in general and supplement-combining in particular could make me feel as energized as Popeye,” she recalls, “but once I saw the power of easy-to-choose natural health enhancements, I was hooked.”
Callahan was just the right kind of self-possessed student who can flourish within the distance-learning environment. She started in the 1980s, completed her doctoral degree in the 1990s, and is already back in school at CCNH.
Callahan recently enrolled in our new Iridology : Theory and Practice program, which operates in conjunction with International Iridology Practitioners Association (IIPA). A protégé of the late Dr. Bernard Jensen who is considered the Father of American Iridology, she writes iridology articles for IRiS and on natural health topics from allergies and AD/HD to sleeping disorders and stress for Wholistic Wellness Network’s Connections publication.
For now, Callahan says she has become fascinated with the technology of biofeedback and bioresonance, and she is investigating their promising capabilities.
Her own healing story includes the successful use of chelation therapy following the diagnosis of a heart condition that once required the daily use of three prescription drugs. She has told her healing story at several college commencement programs, on her local TV’s HealthLine program, as a guest-lecturer at nursing schools, and at many other seminars.
Callahan finds it particularly gratifying that now, maybe her loved ones can benefit from these teachings. “Families are always the last people to pay attention,” she shrugs, “but they have seen me turn my own health around and that has helped more than anything.”
People in the 21st century are demanding to take charge of their own health and well being, she observes. “I am pioneering integrative health care within my Louisiana community, working with other practitioners to help my clients with a holistic approach to treating the whole person: body, mind and spirit.”
