I enrolled in the NMD program about 10 months ago and am more than half way through the course work.
It has certainly given me insights that allow me to effectively communicate and understand some of the aspects of alternative medicine that my patients are already utilizing.

Ulcerative colitis (UC), a subcategory of inflammatory bowel disease, afflicts 1-2 million people in the United States, and many more worldwide.

This somewhat disproves the theory that they are "faith healing" and that they only work because people want them to or believe they will.
