College Celebrates 25 Years In 1980 a new college was founded on one simple but powerful idea: To teach each student how to be healthy and how to teach others to be healthy. For the past 25 years Clayton College of Natural Health has been fulfilling this mission with more than 25,000 students throughout the country and around the world. Taking greater responsibility for their own health, these graduates teach thousands of others how to do the same. Clayton College of Natural Health (CCNH) has helped lead two important revolutions. The natural health revolution has changed the way individuals look at healing, empowering people to take responsibility for their own health. The distance learning revolution, making education more accessible and more affordable, brings the teachings of holistic nutrition and naturopathy into the lives of new generations. According to CCNH founder Lloyd Clayton, N.D., “When we started a lot of people considered us to be on the fringe. Today natural health modalities are now mainstream and sought after.” As the natural health revolution has become an evolution, Clayton College has evolved with it, said Kay Channell, CCNH Vice President. “Our original faculty of natural health experts in herbology, holistic nutrition, Reiki, Iridology and other traditional natural healers has broadened to include medical professionals with a holistic orientation: nurses, chiropractors, psychologists and medical doctors.” Joining CCNH in 1997 as its first Director of Naturopathic Research, the renowned Emanuel Cheraskin, M.D., D.M.D. was a pioneering researcher of holistic health and the mood/food connection. Leading a study that explored the relative health of our traditional naturopathy graduates, the late Dr. Cheraskin proved that Clayton College graduates do indeed ‘practice what we teach’ by choosing healthier lifestyles – an idea that remains true today. As sophisticated global technologies bring distance learning more into the mainstream, Clayton College brings together the brightest minds in natural health and the latest research. Its enhanced online platform, WebCT, is considered state-of-the art. Two new degree programs, Master of Arts in Holistic Wellness and the Doctor of Philosophy in Traditional Naturopathy, focus on blending the art and science of wellness. With college programs for students at every level, CCNH is credited with formalizing the professional practice of traditional naturopathy. Today traditional naturopaths, using a variety of natural health modalities, comprise America’s largest group of natural health practitioners. CCNH degree, certificate and continuing education programs include traditional naturopathy, herbology, natural health and holistic nutrition. Many individuals become students of natural health to help improve their own health and to fulfill the dream of helping others. Many are healthcare professionals who want to incorporate traditional naturopathy within an existing practice. Others see natural health as a rewarding way to rejuvenate their career along with their health. There’s no question that the teachings of naturopathy are life-changing. In recent years CCNH conferences, along with publishing outreach through Natural Reader Press, continue to create innovative learning environments that blend classic teachings with the most advanced ideas in naturopathic philosophy. As Clayton College of Natural Health embarks on its next 25 years, the central message remains the same: each individual can and must take responsibility for his or her own health; the power to choose health resides deep within each person.
