Would you recommend the Global Institute to friends and family? “ABSOLUTELY! In fact, I can tell you that I did not expect to learn so much. I have an extensive background in Natural Health and I took your course so I would have a certificate for my wall. I thought it would be a breeze. Just a formality really. Your course was extensive, informative and challenging. I would recommend it to anyone with a serious interest in holistic health”
Bonnie Tripodi, MH Rushland, PA

“I have already recommended the Global Institute to two people. For people like me who live in small towns, distance learning is our only option. Thus, I am forever grateful to the Global Institute for providing me with the opportunity to study herbs from the comfort of my home”
Shannon Soigner, MH Durango, CO

"After I finish my Master Herbalist course I plan to specialize in companion animal practice.  I am incorporating animal studies into my studies with your course.  Your course is laid out so  nicely that fitting animal studies into it has been quite easy. I am really enjoying my studies."
Donna Sherpitis

I enjoyed the Master Herbalist course immensely. I feel that I had access to thorough information in my study guides and textbooks and that I can refer to them concerning any inquiry I might receive about particular health concerns. I have applied some of the knowledge I've gained to my personal health and life goals; this in itself has made completion of the course a deeply satisfying accomplishment. Thank you!

I really enjoyed all of the reading material that was required for this course. I learned so much! I got a job as a Nutritional Coordinator and Cook at an organic vegetarian preschool. I’d also like to do more private cooking and consulting.

I obtained my Master degree in Holistic Nutrition from another well-known school of naturopathy and had planned to get my herbalist certificate from them as well. I was disappointed when I learned of their double tuition increase. 1) Their tuition increased and 2) they no longer included materials with tuition – the students had to pay for those as well. I began my search for another qualified professional school from which I could obtain my Master Herbalist Certificate and fulfill my dream, while complementing my nutritional background. I selected GIFAM for its professionalism, courteous staff, quality course materials and concentrated herbal curriculum. I just received my Master Herbalist Certificate. Thank you for helping me fulfill a desire and passion to share the importance of herbs in our modern world.

I am currently enrolled in the Holistic Health Practitioners course. First, I must say that it is changing my life in so many ways. Since beginning this course, I have applied a lot of this knowledge to myself and family. We are all seeing positive results. GIFAM has more than exceeded my expectations by providing such accurate and complete information. I enjoy discovering the answers to the questions I have had for all these years. Thank you for such a wonderful program. 
- Maureen McIntyre
  Winter Park, FL

The program was wonderful and informative, clear and challenging in the sense that it makes so much sense. I found the whole program very professional. I felt supported and in good hands. From the first reading about your nutritional advice I knew that it was the right program for me. Your price is also very reasonable. I was a little hesitant to apply to America for a program but I'm glad I did.
- Luisa Taddei

This is a very good program. I am finishing up my degree in natural health also. I work in a wholistic office so I already knew the benefits of nutritional health. The books and tapes were great. I plan to use them in my consulting practice. Thank you for responding immediately to my e-mails. Everyone would benefit personally from this course.

As a Colon Hydrotherapist, I felt the need to increase my knowledge about nutrition and how it affects the body.  My search for a thorough and convenient curriculum led me to GIFAM.  I can't begin to tell you how much I'm learning while taking the Nutritional Consultant course.  My friends are starting to ask me questions about health and nutrition and guess what -- I have answers!!  Since I began the NC program, you've added the Master Herbalist and Holistic Health Practitioner programs which I will also complete.  One step at a time, I'm learning everything I need to know to have a well-balanced and successful practice -- educating people - one by one - to live a healthy lifestyle, the natural way... Thank you so much.

I got your course materials and I am very happy with it. I have already started learning and I find it very easy to understand although I'm Russian. Thank you very much for your moral support and very interesting course.

“The Nutritional Consultant’s program is an informative, helpful, good-to-know material that helps foster better health for self, family, and others. One of the interesting aspects about learning now to improve health is that one is inspired to learn more.”

I am a physician, M.D., Published author in the fields of Obesity-Overweight-Nutrition, (3 books published and the fourth, hopefully, will be on sale, within the next 3-4 months).  I just recently finished my "Nutritional Consultant Program" with GIFAM, which has been a great knowledgeable contribution, which I will available in my roll as a Bariatric Physician, M.D. and Nutritional Consultant/Advisor, on behalf of my peers, within the fields of Obesity-Overweight-Nutrition. With the same scope and goals, I am starting my HHP Program: Holistic Health Practitioner Program. I expect, no less, than the above.

I recently held a program management position with Compaq Computer Corporation and earned in a six figure income. I've worked for hi-tech computer companies for 23 years.  Along with about 26,000 others, I was recently laid off when HP bought Compaq. For years, before I found GIFAM,  I studied nutritional consulting and the effects of a negative magnetic field on human cellular levels, regeneration and health.  1.5 years ago I weighed 212 pounds, had a 40" waist and was 5' 10.5" tall, O.K. I am also 49.5 years old.  Today I weigh 135 pounds, have a 29" waist and I think I'm still about 5' 10.5" tall (gravity does have an impact over time). I feel like I'm 26 years old!!!I started a business 4 years ago promoting health and wellness.  I firmly believed that nutrition and simple general wellness concepts could make a difference in my life, and my clients’ lives.  I searched for home-study courses to back up my nutritional endeavors and found GIFAM!  I originally considered your Nutritional Consultant course but realized that your HHP program covered a much broader spectrum. Reality is; EVERYTHING you promote, from a health perspective, and teach, very closely follows my own studies, business and life's experience.  I have embarked on a plan to become a Holistic Health Practitioner as certified by GIFAM. Thank you so much... Your course materials have changed my life for the better and have already helped my clients, albeit "currently" only through word-of-mouth testimonials, catalog mailings and consulting.  I need to complete my studies and setup my practice; I LOVE the course and my friends cannot believe the difference in my energy and being.  Not trying to be vain here but losing over 80 pounds and over 10" off my waist cannot help but be recognized. I feel and live the difference!  You all have helped me get there and have absolutely helped all of my clients.

Thank you! I'm already enrolled in the Master Herbalist Program and very pleased for the great course I'm going to take...you know, through almost 20 years in Advertising I was looking for the chance to study all about herbolistics, but I never had the time, until...I discovered your school with all the things I was looking for: seriousness, a professional content, and the best, the chance to do it at a distance and at my own time! Thanks again for your prompt answer!

"I am totally fascinated with the huge books Deni Bown's New Encyclopedia of Herbs & Their Uses and Burton Goldberg's Alternative Medicine -  A Definitive Guide. The Gifam program materials have been most helpful in condensing information to a manageable whole, as amateurs like myself, take the first steps toward a future in natural therapies."

“Hello Everyone!  I’m finished!  Boy have I learned a lot!  Thank you so much for putting together an interesting and challenging curriculum, and thank you for your responsiveness to my e-mails.  I’ve really enjoyed this. I’m also interested in pursuing the Holistic Health Practitioner certificate.  Please advise.  Thanks again.”
 - Eva Herbert,

This is such a good program. I have learned so much and is actually exciting to know about nutrition again.  As a dietitian our studies were somewhat boring because our practice doesn't believe in nutritional supplements unless there are scientific studies to back it up but I know it works because I've been on them for over 4 years and have done well.   
I'm glad you are encouraging those taking this course to continue to study.  This is how I reached you, it's so important to know what is going on and provide people with the latest and most accurate information on the subject. Taking your course is one of the many things I'm learning since I want
to provide the best services possible. I have changed my counseling style and incorporating some of the things I have learned from this program. Also some of my colleagues want to find out what I'm doing because they see my excitement and want to learn more. So I will let you know if they want to sign up for the program as well.

I've received the course materials and have already learned so much about my body that it scares me! I'm really enjoying this.  It is sure to have a huge impact on my future eating habits.

Just want to say many thanks for a wonderful course. I have received my marked papers and my certificate, it is beautiful. The Nutritional Consultant Course was an enjoyable and informative one. I actually feel proud of myself as I am already able to confidently give nutritional information to my friends and others. A couple of them have shown interest in the program. It has provided a good base for continued learning and I would recommend it. Thanks again!

I am enjoying the course immensely.  With my prior knowledge in the area of nutrition, I estimate 6- 8 weeks to complete the course, upon which I plan to take the HHP course. The main purpose in taking "your" course is:
1. To obtain my "CNC"
2. Through my research, you have an excellent reputation as an organization who practices what they preach Keep up the good work,

“Thank you for the opportunity to take your Nutritional Consulting Certification Program.  I came to the course with a 6-year interest in Nutrition and Health but had not had any formal training in this area.  I enjoyed the textbooks, Optimum Nutrition Book, video, along with all the other study material and feel that what I have learned has given me a solid footing on which to further my studies and embark on a new career in this field.  Thank you again.”

“I have been a Medical Interpreter for 15 years and hold a Master’s Degree in Curriculum Design and Pedagogy… I must say that YOUR program seems to be one of the best that I have researched and I’m very impressed with the breadth and depth of the Holistic Health Practitioner profile.” 
- Stephen W.

I received my course work and am diligently doing the lessons.  I am on the third lesson and the vocabulary is a little  overwhelming...but I will persevere.  I wanted to email a thank you for your professionalism and the quality of the course materials.  I have learned so much already and have improved my health and that of my husband's, just by learning about internal cleansing etc.  I am jazzed to be doing this and it will go along with my interest in gardening and my herb gardens that took the last three years to build.

I researched quite a few herbal study programs (correspondence-type courses) and yours was one of the few whose web site worked properly.   A working web-site informed me that you guys have it together.  Thank you for your quick response to my email and I'll look forward to our communications while studying.

I am nearing the end of my course, which I have loved. Thanks for such a wonderful course at such an affordable price.  I can't tell you how much I am learning and already have people asking me to help them with nutritional issues. I tell people about your program all the time. 
- Lisbeth Eyrich-Fischer

I am a recent graduate of your Nutrition Consultant course and want to thank you for the learning experience.  I received 97% on my exam and although I wanted to get 100% I think I did pretty good.  I want to let you know that I felt that your program was comprehensive and the study guide lessons were greatly thought provoking and helped me to drill home a lot of material.  I'm truly excited about pursuing my own holistic health practice. 

I would like to add to that the fact that this was the first distance learning class I'd ever enrolled in.  I had taken correspondence courses through my state university here in Michigan but had never gone through a distance learning course and I thought that I was really gambling on my tuition fees because I wasn't sure how comprehensive your classes would be or if I'd complete the course and feel like I'd actually learned something but I was very happily surprised!

I've taken plenty of regular college courses and have a degree and your course was just as comprehensive, if not more comprehensive, that any college courses I'd ever taken!  Taking a nutrition course in a regular academic federally accredited college means taking a lot of courses that don't relate to the degree you're enrolled in, but in distance learning every course is specific to the field you're studying and every course is comprehensive to the subject as well.  As an adult with adult responsibilities as well as a full time job, I don't have the time to travel many miles to sit in classes that don't pertain to my academic major and I don't have the time to
travel to college and spend precious hours looking for parking, but I do have the time to study at night before I go to bed and in the morning before I go to work and on weekends too, so distance learning is perfect for adults who need to follow their passion for knowledge and advancement.  I've not only learned a lot about nutrition counseling but I've learned a lot of good things about the benefits of distance learning.
Again thank you for the learning experience!

Within the GIFAM programs all materials are prepared with knowledge, passion and dedication. Despite having Masters and Doctorate Degrees in technical fields I have chosen to leave behind almost three decades of a scientific career. Nothing made me more excited and happy than studying the Nutritional Consultant Course. My certificate from GIFAM and obtained knowledge have been the best investment in my life. Investment in my personal and family's health and well-being. It was a great pleasure to be a GIFAM student and to complete the well-prepared and well organized N.C. course. My biggest disappointment is that I never got a chance to meet all the great people from the school who have made this opportunity possible. Thank you.
- Dr. Vitaliy Kondratyuk PhD
  Brooklyn, New York

Thank you for your prompt response to my message. So far I'm completely satisfied with the program.  I know a couple of people involved in other programs of this nature who have compared their course with GIFAM and
think I got a better program.  Your material is clear, to the point and very informative.  I'm looking forward to completing this class successfully.  Again, Thank you.

"Thanks GIFAM for a truly informative program. Without your in-depth course, I'd be lost.  I'm 90 per cent of the way through the nutritional consultant program, and my family is eating and feeling better than ever. And with the new addition of our baby daughter, I know she is already benefiting from a solid nutritional foundation that will set her up for a healthy and successful life. Thanks again for helping me see through the glut of fad diets and fast food chains."

“I found GIFAM's course in nutritional consulting to be concentrated yet comprehensive.  The fact that it utilized the work of Dr. Andrew Weil along with other respected figures in the field of alternative medicine was also impressive.  The approach was balanced and integrative. 
I learned many aspects of conventional medicine along with those
of alternative medicine: nutrition, supplements. exercise, and herbal remedies. The exams attempted to assess what I knew rather than trick me with obscure questions.  This I appreciated very much.  I now have a solid foundation for my nutritional consulting thanks to GIFAM.”
- Randy Converse
  Madison, WI

Thank you again for this program.  It was affordable, informative and has given me the confidence to take what I've learned and communicate this and more information with others. I will love making a difference in the health and well-being of others.

As you can tell I am very excited. This has been a goal not easily met.  My husband has been in and out of the hospital since September with colon cancer which has metasticized in his liver, spine and spleen.  It is an
illness that has plagued us for 12 years. I am working two jobs in addition to my studies towards this goal which I hoped to complete before the end of July.  I made it!!! I've learned a tremendous amount and have applied much of it to my husbands illness.  I can't thank you enough... I hope our story is an inspiration for many.

“I would like to thank you for offering this great program. It not only provides the newest information at a very high standard, but also helps the layperson understand the anatomy of nature. You’ve provided in one program very knowledgeable basics and a great foundation for understanding and gaining maximum knowledge about nutrition.
The books, brochures and videotapes provided with the program are excellent and are great for future reference. I like how passionate you are in presenting issues like microwaves, artificial flavors and genetically engineered foods. Most people are not aware of these issues and they need to be emphasized. You’ve accomplished to get into the minds of the students with your very powerful way of writing.
Children are the future. To include a segment on children’s nutrition in your program is very smart.
The test questions help students learn the subjects and are very interesting. I could not stop working on them. It invited me to study and read all materials over and over again.
I am glad I made the step to enroll in the Global Institute For Alternative Medicine’s nutrition program and I am certain it is going to be beneficial for my patients as well as for myself. I would recommend taking this course to every single Chiropractor in my profession. We are an important part of the Alternative Medicine field and not even a very subluxation based chiropractic practitioner should leave out this most-important aspect of health, our nutrition.
Thank you for all your effort to provide this very valuable program.
