Course Reviews

Carter Beckett, LMT

This is truely an interesting, comprehensive. and informative course. I recommend this class to all complementary health care providers, as well as anyone who interested in this disease and it's prevention.

Bernadette Carlton, LMT

The information is thorough and to the point. It is presented in a easily readable way. It serves to restore my awareness of communicable diseases and the many ways we can encounter and also avoid the proliferation of them. The statistics and science, although dry and not easy to retain for me, creates a marker of progress that medicine has made to fight these insidious and very distinct viruses.

Ernest Cormier, LMT

Really up to date information and I especially liked the inclusion of non - medical approaches for support for Hepatitis (i.e. Especially positive and negative Vitamins & Herbs). Very thorough massage and HIV section. Good Info, Thanks.

Lori Kelly, NCTMB

This course was full of information that is valuable to the lay person as well as people in the healthcare industry. It is especially pertinent to massage therapists who are coming into contact with people on a daily basis. I found this course very easy to understand and it was written in non-technical terms so that is was engaging and useful.
