<strong>Trinity</strong><strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong>Educate Your Body, Mind and SpiritCourse <strong>Catalog</strong>


Welcome to<strong>Trinity</strong><strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong><strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong> was founded by Dr. Wendell Whitman in l991 to <strong>of</strong>fer pr<strong>of</strong>essional programs <strong>of</strong> study in thenatural health field leading to non-traditional designations or degrees. Up until that time, very few educational institutionsmade home study courses available. Dr. Whitman saw the need for this valuable information to reach the public so he createdan affordable and available way for people to learn—he founded <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong>. The courses <strong>of</strong> studywere specifically designed to integrate the total person in mind, body and spirit; each course building on the next to createa complete and healthy lifestyle. Today <strong>Trinity</strong> provides a solid education for students to establish their own pr<strong>of</strong>essionalpractice and bring much needed healthy alternatives to their communities.Let me introduce myself. I’m Julie Whitman Kline, Dr. Whitman’s daughter. For 20 years I worked alongside my Dad in hismany business ventures and causes. To this day, I feel his fire and sense <strong>of</strong> duty as we continue the vision and adapt to thechanging landscape <strong>of</strong> health care in this country. Since my father’s passing, I’ve become immersed in all the businesses,including <strong>Trinity</strong>. One thing I know for sure is that people are continually looking for ways to have a happier, healthier andmore meaningful life. <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong> has carefully tailored programs <strong>of</strong> study designed to meet that need.To think that we’re back to where we started hundreds <strong>of</strong> years ago in natural health education is amazing. These are excitingtimes we are living in; more and more people are becoming receptive to alternative health. Many <strong>of</strong> our students are seriousabout sharing their knowledge with others. Today some <strong>of</strong> our graduates are published authors and are on the lecture circuit.Thomas Edison said, “The doctor <strong>of</strong> the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care <strong>of</strong> the human frame,in diet and in the cause and prevention <strong>of</strong> disease.”We invite you to join us on a journey <strong>of</strong> education and enrichment and welcome you to the <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong> family.Cordially,Julie Whitman Kline, Director<strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong>

Direct learning studiesThe Individualized Learning Approach<strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong> supports the individualized learning approach. Allcourse work is completed on an individual basis which gives the student maximumflexibility for study time. Courses are mailed to the student. When the student hascompleted the course and submitted it to <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong>, a newcourse is mailed to them. We continue this practice as long as the student stays currentwith their financial obligations. Our courses are designed to build upon the student’saccumulated knowledge. A grade <strong>of</strong> 85% is considered passing for each <strong>of</strong> the exams.Prospective students are admitted to the program, not on the basis <strong>of</strong> past academicachievement, but with the understanding that the candidate can successfully completethe course <strong>of</strong> study.LicensureSome states require a license to work in specific areas <strong>of</strong> the natural health fieldor Christian ministry. <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong> is not designed to provide avocational curriculum to meet the requirement <strong>of</strong> any particular state where a licenseis required. Programs <strong>of</strong> study are for personal enrichment and self-improvementand focus on a pure, natural and spiritual lifestyle. If your state is one <strong>of</strong> the few thatrequires such a license, please find out the individual requirements <strong>of</strong> your state so youare in compliance with their laws. <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong> does not maintaina job placement bureau; thus, no placement is guaranteed to those enrolled in itseducational programs.AccreditationAccredited colleges and schools throughout the United States approve most <strong>of</strong> thecourses <strong>of</strong>fered through <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong>. Accreditation by an outsideaccrediting organization is always a compliment to an institution. However, weconsider our greatest asset to be the quality <strong>of</strong> our graduates and the continuingcontribution they make to the health, wellness and Christian edification <strong>of</strong> their familiesand community. <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong> is accredited and recognized by theAmerican Naturopathic Medical Accreditation Board (ANMAB) in Las Vegas, Nevada(www.anmab.org). We have not, nor do we plan to seek accreditation through the U.S.Department <strong>of</strong> Education.Nondiscrimination<strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong> has a nondiscriminatory policy. We do not discriminateon the basis <strong>of</strong> gender, race, creed or national origin. We conform to all federal lawsconcerning equal opportunity.4 <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong> • Course <strong>Catalog</strong>


<strong>Health</strong> STUDIESThe word “doctor” comes from the Latin word ‘docere’ meaning ‘to teach.’ Naturopaths teach natural ways to enhancegood health, optimal wellness and encourage longevity. The Naturopathic approach is holistic and focuses on maintainingwellness with an emphasis on disease prevention.We emphasize creating a lifestyle which includes pure water, clean air, wholesome food, proper diet and nutrition, exercise,proper living, appropriate rest, right thinking, absence from toxic substances, body ecology, effective management <strong>of</strong> stressand a number <strong>of</strong> other natural practices which lead to the balanced living concept. Only those who agree with this philosophyshould apply to <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong>. We believe that physical health is primarily a reflection <strong>of</strong> God’s universal law<strong>of</strong> cause and effect. How we care for our bodies is both a physical and spiritual issue that impacts our health and the health<strong>of</strong> our <strong>of</strong>fspring. In cases where health principles have been violated, the only true “cure” is for the body to restore its ownprotective mechanisms by removing those physical and spiritual roadblocks that hinder restoration and/or healing. Coursestudies in Naturopathy teach practices that build immunity, improve mental health and enhance overall body functions.<strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers training that is to be used for an individual’s own personal development. With discretion,an individual may be able to use this knowledge to educate others.Christian Ministry STUDIESWe believe the Bible to be a great source <strong>of</strong> teaching and the final authority on spiritual matters. For these reasons, weemphasize the knowledge found in the Scriptures to create a spiritual foundation. Because <strong>of</strong> the inherent spiritual naturewithin each <strong>of</strong> us, there’s a need to be spiritually grounded and knowledgeable when analyzing any health issue, whetherit be physical, emotional or spiritual. <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers training that is to be used for an individual’s ownpersonal development.

Classical NaturopathyA classical Naturopath specializes in wellness. That is to say teaching clients howapplying natural lifestyle approaches can act to facilitate the body’s healing andhealth building potential. The classical Naturopath does not undertake to diagnose ortreat disease but recognizes that the majority <strong>of</strong> sub-health conditions are cumulativeeffects. Also, the underlying cause <strong>of</strong> disease is improper diet, unhealthy habits andenvironmental factors that cause biological imbalances leading to a weakening <strong>of</strong>the body’s defenses and subsequent breakdown in health. The practice <strong>of</strong> classicalNaturopathy is not considered the practice <strong>of</strong> medicine and is legal in all 50 states;however, some states have made Naturopathy illegal unless licensed. This isbecause legislature is grouping classical Naturopaths with Naturopathic physicians.Naturopathic physicians have a 4-year degree that includes pharmacology and minorsurgery, which should require a license.The practice <strong>of</strong> classical Naturopathy is recognized as a common occupation at thefederal level (U. S. Congress 1928, 1929, 1930 and 30 Federal Court rulings between 1958and 1978) and in such a pr<strong>of</strong>ession is protected under the 9th and 14th Amendments<strong>of</strong> the U. S. Constitution. Several states have also made this stipulation either by statuteor in the Courts.What medical doctors call diseases are only symptoms <strong>of</strong> a greater underlying problem.Disease is nothing more than a manifestation <strong>of</strong> our body trying to correct imbalances.Imbalances due to faulty nutritional patterns, improper rest, stress management andother lifestyle considerations, which over time, result in a weakening <strong>of</strong> the body. By thetime disease appears on the scene it is very late in the game.Our body tells us early on when there is a problem and we can either respond tothis message or try to suppress the symptoms that the body uses to tell us there isa problem. You can take ibupr<strong>of</strong>en or other drugs to suppress the symptoms andthey will help for a short time. However, unless the underlying problem is corrected,eventually the symptoms will no longer be helped by these drugs and one will needto take stronger and stronger drugs to quiet the body’s message. If the underlyingproblem has not been addressed, the body will begin to break down structurally. At thistime modern medicine is finally capable <strong>of</strong> diagnosing that something is really wrongand <strong>of</strong>fer interventions to fix the structure, but still medical doctors fail to address theunderlying problem.Naturopathy concentrates on identifying destructive aspects in lifestyles that leadto imbalances. Before symptoms manifest and long before a diagnosis can berendered, these destructive aspects <strong>of</strong> our lifestyle can be identified and corrected.Once corrected, the body automatically corrects itself. Diagnosing disease and illnessis totally unnecessary to correcting the underlying problems that result in diseaseand illness. A true healer does not waste his time concentrating on naming diseasesbut rather on identifying those underlying factors that if not addressed result in themanifestation <strong>of</strong> disease and illness. These factors can be identified and correctedlong before it is even possible to make any diagnosis. Even after a diagnosis is madethe same concepts <strong>of</strong> healing used by classical Naturopaths are equally effectivebecause once balance is restored the body automatically heals itself.6 <strong>Trinity</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Health</strong> • Course <strong>Catalog</strong>
