LEARN HOW IRIDOLOGY CAN MAKE A HUGE CONTRIBUTION TO ANY COMPLEMENTARY PRACTICE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR I want to welcome you most warmly to the study of Iridology. Students of our course have taken their knowledge out into the world of practice and they have been able to see more penetratingly into the health of their patients. They have seen many truths about causes and effects in health and disease - that is what allows you to understand those extra things that make you into an even better healer. I think you are going to find this the most intriguing and absorbing study and, certainly, that is my sincere hope. As you precede, much of what you learn will amaze you and inspire wonder at the ways of the human body and mind. As you tread this very special road, I pass on to you the words that Bernard Jensen gave me years ago when I was his student, inscribed upon the inside cover of his book: “Seek the Higher Values in Life”. DR. LAWRENCE PLASKETT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT IS IRIDOLOGY? Iridology is the art of iris analysis. The iris is connected to the brain via the hypothalamus and can give naturopathic read outs on tissue conditions in various parts of the body. With training and practice it is possible to read signs indicative of biochemical, emotional and environmental influences that are hard to determine by other means. We can thus interpret health (and even aspects of personality) by close examination of the eyes, using suitable illumination and a magnifying glass. The close relationship between naturopathic iridology as an assessment tool and nutritional therapy and other naturopathic disciplines continues and grows closer. Now Iridology can make a huge contribution to complementary therapeutic practice and enhanced by our wonderful digital collection of eye photographs, the learning process with the Plaskett International College is a profound and exciting one. We teach Iridology quite separately from other topics and anyone who possesses, or expects to possess, a practitioner's qualification in any therapeutic discipline, may join the course. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Course Duration 12 MONTHS Study Hours 200 HOURS Course Content 9 SECTIONS Course Fee £495 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW CAN IRIDOLOGY HELP PRACTITIONERS? Examples of how iridology can help practitioners Did you know that some iris features are so very plain that you can see them with the naked eye in ordinary social contact? You can see from two or three feet away in many cases that the person has a toxic digestive system (a strong wide dark ring around the pupil margin). You can often tell that the person has an overactive stomach (a narrow bright white ring very close to the pupil). You can tell when the skin is overlaid with toxins so that the skin's function in excreting toxins from the body is jeopardised (very narrow dark ring around the iris margin). You can tell in some people (rather advanced cases) that they suffer badly from sodium and potassium imbalance and have placed themselves at potential risk from cholesterol accumulation (the so-called corneal arcus, a white or off-white cloudy deposit, usually fairly thick, around the iris margin).  Another example is the ring of spots or 'tophi' represented by the lymphatic rosary. Its mere presence tells one that there is sluggishness in the lymphatic system. When these tophi are darkly pigmented, the situation gives rise to concern for the possible generation of lymphatic illness. Using the precise positioning of iris reflex areas contained on the iris chart, one may distinguish many key points of analysis. Areas of stress and tension can be pinpointed by identifying 'contraction furrows’. Past injuries and adhesions show themselves as contortions of the normally regular and even iris fibres. You can answer questions like:- Is it the pancreas or the liver that is responsible for the trouble? Is the patient's hypertension caused by a defect of or toxic deposits in the particular brain area that is geared to control blood pressure? One of Jensen's rather dramatic illustrations is of the iris of a man who has just been shot. It shows the precise areas of tissue damage within the body and the response is very fast. The number of potential examples is almost without limit. The above may suffice to show the types of things that iridology can do for practitioners. We hope it will help you decide to study Iridology with the Plaskett International College. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURSE OVERVIEW The course covers the nature of iris observation, the nutritive zone, the iris chart, the chronic and acute, the intestinal and stomach zones and nerve collarette, the constitution type, respiratory system, lacunae, open lacuna, inherent weaknesses, the organs of elimination, other organs, special signs, complete diagnosis of a subject. The treatment of the topic follows the principles of Bernard Jensen in the USA. Once the basics have been learnt, the course teachings then extend considerably by bringing in the work of Dorothy Hall and of Dr Josef Deck, both of which are the subject of a special presentation during the course. The published insights of Farida Sharan and Harri Wolf, while not separately presented, also influence the presentation of the course material. Both the Australian School, (Dorothy Hall) and the German School, (Dr Deck/Harri Wolf), offer an added dimension to the study and interpretation of the constitution. * PERSONALITY ASPECTS & CONSTITUTIONAL TYPES The study focuses upon the different personality aspects, which show up in different constitutional types. Dorothy Hall gives insights into what contributes to various different types of personality and their emotional and mental responses and their pre-dispositions to health or disease. Different sorts of people can have different priorities, preferences and imperatives built into their very nature from or before birth, sometimes determining the course of their entire lives and their attitudes to the world and to other people. * AN EMPATHY BETWEEN PATIENT & PRACTITIONER The course teaches an understanding of these types and facilitates an empathy between patient and practitioner. It shows how people of the differing constitutional types are likely to go out of balance either mentally or emotionally and how their vulnerability to various physical ailments varies. The German School offers a very exciting and precise approach to the constitutional types, which is really quite different, but no less helpful. It highlights variations in the susceptibility to diseases of different organs and systems. * THE 3 SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT It is a prime purpose of this course, not only to teach these differing positions, but also to demonstrate how it is that all three of these major schools of Iridology embody different aspects of the truth, how each is individually valuable and how a full and deep understanding of the meaning of 'constitution' can be gained through a sympathetic synthesis of the contributions from all three of these schools. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BREAKDOWN OF THE COURSE SECTIONS In total there are 9 sections comprising of text, videos and iris images to study: SECTION 1 GENERAL PRACTICE AND AN ACCOUNT OF THE NUTRITIVE ZONE Areas Covered * Iris colour * Information that iridology can give us * The structure of the eye and the iris * Using the iris as an assessment tool * The principle of reflex areas * The Nutritive Zone * Abnormality in the colon * The Collarette (autonomic nerve wreath or anw) * Diagnosis of the constitution based upon fibre structure * Studies on images of real eyes SECTION 2 FEATURES OF THE FIBRES OUTSIDE THE COLLARETTE Areas Covered * The general layout of fibres outside the collarette * Inherent weaknesses * First stage in further deterioration of an inherent weakness * The meaning of darkness in the iris * The development of discrete – open lacunae * Lacunae * Further notes about lightness and darkness amongst the fibres * Healing lines * Crypts * Round the iris chart – the left iris * Round the iris chart – the right iris * Checking which structures and inside and which outside the collarette * The organ systems * The neural arc reflex SECTION 3 SPECIAL SIGNS Areas covered * The corneal arcus (sodium ring, cholesterol ring, lipemic ring) * The tophi (also lymphatic tophi or lymphatic rosary) * Corneal Arcus * The anaemia sign * The catarrhal sign * Acidity * Grey background * Scurf rim * Circulatory ring * Sphincter muscle (also called pupillary sphincter) * Pigments (topastible or topolabile) * Psoric spots * Contrcation furrows * Radial furrows SECTION 4 THE CONSTITUTIONS IN RELATION TO PERSONALITY TYPE AND DISEASE DISPOSITION Areas covered * Very resilient * Resilient average * Moderately resilient * Mildly resilient SECTION 5 MORE ABOUT WHITE SIGNS Areas covered * Revision of distinctions between the different white signs * Pictures of irises with white signs, with commentaries * Further interpretation of the corneal arcus * Further interpretation of the lytophi * More general interpretation of the colour white SECTION 6 COLOURS IN THE IRIS AND OTHER SPECIAL SIGNS Areas Covered * Yellow pigment in the iris * Orange pigment * Brown pigment * Contraction furrows * Radial furrows * Psoric spots * Pupillary border * The “friendly fibrils” sign * Summary of remedies SECTION 7 THE CONSTITUTION AND SIGNS ACCORDING TO THE GERMAN SCHOOL Areas Covered * The German school of iridology * Our approach to teaching the German school * Introduction to the German constitutional types * The lymphatic constitutions * Mixed biliary constitution or biliary constitution * Haematogenic (or haematogenous) constitution * The way to use information on the German constitutions * New signs that are specific to the German school * Treatment recommendations for constitutional types SECTION 8  ADVANCED STUDIES OF THE IRIS Areas Covered * Further details of the iris chart – its layout and its implications * Neural arc reflex * Deformation of pupil shape and position * Advanced study of fibre separations, sinuosity, injuries & adhesions * Lacunae of different shape and appearance * The b3 bulge and the pterygium * Working with genetically brown eyes SECTION 9  THE CONSULTATION & THE PRACTICALITIES Areas Covered * Diagnosing pathology of individual critical organs * Personality interpretations based upon the German school * Conducting an iridology consultation * Practical aspects of iris examination * Making drawings of the iris and recording the data * The uses, advantages and limitations of iris photography and its place in iridology practice * Equipments and techniques of iris photography * Using the computer to store and process digital images * The interaction of signs * Interpreting the whole iris in conjunction with the case study * Pointers to treatment * Carrying out case histories -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TESTIMONIALS Here's what students have to say about the course EMMA RUBIO, HEALTH COACH Spain "As a Health Coach I decided to pursue my studies with the Plaskett College to become a Nutritional Therapist.

Before one can consider individual vitamins and minerals, one has to know about the nutrients that make up most of our diets, namely the bulk nutrients. These are the suppliers of food energy, essential amino acids and fatty acids. You will need to understand these so as to manipulate them with skill.   Areas Covered * Proteins * The carbohydrates * Fibre * Fats * Classes of foods based upon composition SECTION 2 THE CELL & CELL ENERGY This section will illuminate the nature of the cell and explain how the energy of the cell is generated and what functions the cell must perform using that energy. It explains calories as units of energy measurement and the dynamic role of the enzymes in the cells. Areas Covered * The cell * Cell energy * The energy content of food * What else does the body have to do with its energy? * How does the body release energy from food? * Enzymes * The overwhelming importance of cell energy * The vitality of cells and tissues * The key role of blood glucose * What key factors are most likely to erode good vitality? * Go-factors for enzymes * Internal cell environment * Enzyme poisons SECTION 3 THE ENVIRONMENT INSIDE THE CELL This section explains the importance of the controlled environment inside the cell. It particularly stresses how important it is to maintain the balance between sodium and potassium and between calcium and magnesium. Areas covered * Out of balance intakes of sodium and potassium * Calcium and magnesium balance * Calcium mishandling SECTION 4 THE NEED FOR THE CELL TO SELF CLEANSE This section shows you how the cell needs to remain vital and active and to maintain the integrity of its energy systems and enzymes. It stresses the cell's need to excrete waste and toxic materials and to actively cleanse. This approach is both naturopathic and science-based. Areas covered * Naturopathic elimination * The concept of self-cleansing * Naturopathy * Vitality * Chronic and acute * Suppression SECTION 5 THE MICRO-MINERALS & THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE CELL This section emphasises and explains the importance of micro-minerals. It shows them in their role as enzyme activators and how they contribute in this way to cell energy and to maintaining the cell's integrity and function. It explains the key roles and characteristics of individual micro-minerals. Areas covered * How metals act as enzyme activators * Iron * Zinc * Manganese * Copper * Chromium * Selenium * Molybdenum * General supplementation policy on trace metals * Non-metallic micro-minerals * Toxic metals * Notes on metallic macro-minerals SECTION 6 THE VITAMINS This section covers the entire group of vitamins. It shows how they activate enzymes, contribute to cell energy and increase vitality. It explains their differing functions and characteristics. Areas covered * Vitamins defined * Intakes and rnis for vitamins * How vitamins work * The vitamins * Non-vitamin nutrients * How vitamins contribute to cell energy and increase the life force * Food sources of the vitamins SECTION 7 BOWEL FLORA – HOW IT AIDS CLEANSING & MAINTENANCE OF A GOOD BODY ENVIRONMENT      This section explains how the complex population of bacteria in the intestines contribute to maintaining vitality and health. In particular, it will become clear how these bacteria aid cleansing and the maintenance of a good environment within the body, which is so essential to good health. It includes how to nurture your own bowel flora organisms. Areas covered * The bacteria of the large intestine (the bowel) * The alternative view of desirable and undesirable bowel flora * The benefits from an acidic lower bowel * The effect of bowel flora upon cleansing * Association of lactobacillus with milk * Synthesis and absorption of b vitamins * The reciprocal effects of bowel flora * The bowel flora from infancy to adulthood * Candida albicans * How to maintain the bowel flora * The use of bowel flora products SECTION 8 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MAIN FOODS.  SUPPRESSIVE VERSUS ELIMINATIVE FOODS This section identifies the 'suppressive' foods - those which block the body's elimination of toxins. It separates them from the 'eliminative' foods - those which enable or enhance the voiding of toxins. It gives the characteristics (in this respect) of the main food groups. It will tell you what problem foods to avoid and identify the acid-producing foods. Areas Covered * Milk as a problem food * Wheat and rye as problem foods * Vegetables * Relation of elimination to acidity * The two-step process of elimination * The neutral grains * Salt * Sugar SECTION 9 THE COMPOSITION OF FOODS This section provides a great deal of data on the composition of foods, their content and the main differences between them. This is a working mass of data to enable your own design of health-giving diets. Areas Covered * Commentary on food tables * The spread of bulk nutrients * The spread of mineral nutrients SECTION 10 ALLERGIES, INTOLERANCE & SENSITIVITY. MICRO-MINERALS & THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE CELL This section is an introduction to allergies or intolerances - what they are; physical signs and symptoms, the most frequent; masked/hidden and/or addictive allergies; causes of allergy - food, chemical, emotional and mental; stages of allergy; different types of allergy - fixed, variable, cyclic; managing allergies and sensitivities - how to handle them; rotation diets (including the rotation chart); allergy testing and its limitations; food additives and chemicals; the role of nutrition in all this. Areas Covered * Allergic reactions defined * The nature of allergies and the effect they have * Obvious reactions * The four main classes of allergy * The possible underlying causes of allergy * Viewing allergy tests and their limitations * What help is available to deal with allergies * The key role of nutrition in the underlying case and treatment of allergy * How allergies interfere with treatment * The concept of neutralisation * The allopathic or orthodox drug approach SECTION 11 DESIGNING DIETS This section provides clear guidance on designing maintenance nutritional diets that, compared to most ordinary diets, should improve health. Areas Covered * Dietary paragraphs * Using the dietary paragraphs to make up diets SECTION 12 THE USE OF SUPPLEMENTS This section explains and demystifies the subject of vitamin and mineral supplements and their use. It enables you to design simple maintenance and health-giving programmes of supplementation. Areas Covered * General guidelines in the use of supplements * Always attend to the diet first * Preparing for mineral and vitamin supplementation * Steps in supplement intake * Simple and effective combinations * The eliminative qualities of magnesium and calcium * Less frequently used combinations * Use of multiple formulations * Adding in the trace elements as a further stimulant of toxin elimination & for correction of deficiencies * On to the next stage – zinc and manganese * Conditions where practitioners of nutritional medicine might use such formulae * Vitamins a & d * Vitamins c & e * Choline & inositol * Calcium pantothenate * The role of the practitioner of nutritional medicine PART TWO includes the following 15 sections: SECTION 1  NATUROPATHY, ITS NATURE AND ITS HISTORY In this section we introduce the medical system known as “naturopathy”. We do so because this system provides the basis for understanding and using naturopathic nutritional therapies. Throughout this Course we shall refer to naturopathy and naturopathic principles and in learning and using these principles, you will hopefully discover a dynamic view of health and illness that will excite you and will inform and motivate your future practice. Areas Covered * The Basic Principles of Naturopathy * The Early Days: Hydrotherapy as the Core Therapy * Progress of Naturopathy in the United States * The Halycon Years of Naturopathy in Britain * The Suppression of Naturopathy and its Rebirth * The Details of Hydrotherapy Techniques * The Range of Today’s Naturopathic Techniques * Published Research into Naturopathy and General Acceptance * Today’s Activities at Health Spas * Naturopathy in Relation to Scientific Medicine * Naturopathy in Relation to Biochemistry: the Principles of “General Chronicity” * Naturopathy as the Philosophical Base for other Therapies SECTION 2 PHILOSOPHY OF NATUROPATHIC NUTRITIONAL THERAPEUTICS In order to begin to understand Nutritional Therapeutics, we have to understand the philosophy that is at its very basis. One will be departing quite fundamentally from conventionality and as the truth about natural medicine and natural nutrition unfolds in this Course, the student will, in all probability, come to realise that holism is a higher form of knowledge; one that transcends the materialistic and the mechanistic and will lead you on the first steps of this most exciting of all journeys. Areas Covered * The status of knowledge about diet in relation to health * The pressure of conventional opinion * The limitations of the conventional approach * What goes in must affect health in the long run * The body's resistance to deterioration * Profound effects from treatment * The life force in relation to scientific concepts * The nature of toxins * Starting to look at the route for recovery * Acute conditions, inflammation and hyperactivity * Routes by which toxins enter the body * Routes of exit of toxins * Movement of toxins within the body: toxic locations * Iridology * Knife edge between healing and non-healing * The effects to be expected from toxins residing in tissues SECTION 3 SYNTHESIS OF NATUROPATHY & SCIENCE What is to be presented in this Section is pertinent to the whole question of the initiation of chronic diseases.  If we look in the pathology texts and consult the sections on individual types of chronic disease, we usually find an explanation of the cause (aetiology) on a superficial level.  However, when we begin to probe into the cause of the causes, we soon hit an impenetrable wall of “not knowing”. It is in this Section that we aim to open the door to this question and therefore give a route back from chronic disease. Areas covered * Introduction: a specialized meaning of “Chronicity” * The Nature of Toxic Damage – Non-Specific Cell Toxicity * The Nature of Membranes * Mechanisms of Protein Synthesis and their Vulnerability to Toxins * Damage to Mitochondria and the Endoplasmic Reticulum * Relationship of General Cellular Damage to Cancer * The Nucleus, DNA and their Vulnerability to Toxins * DNA Repair Mechanisms * The Nature of Toxic Damage – Specific Cell Toxicity * Cell Damage and the “General Chronicity” Theory SECTION 4 THE PRACTITIONER’S ROLE In this Section we wish to paint a picture that fairly fully describes this role. It is important to build a set of views about your future role that is fully compatible and interwoven with the naturopathic philosophy and data given in the previous Sections of the Course.  Areas covered * Introduction to the Role of the practitioner * The Wider Environment * The Microcosm of the Consulting Room * patient & treatment * pimary components of the Practitioner’s role * a working relationship & commitment to each patient * physical examination * communicating & recording the prescription * providing nutritional products required for therapy * communication with doctors * spreading the word SECTION 5 UNDERSTANDING THE DEPTH OF DISEASE Here is where the clinical work begins. We begin by thinking about this one aspect – how sick is your patient? You need some idea as to how big the problem is that lies before you.   Areas covered * The Nature of Health and Disease and the Approach to Treatment * Some of the Misconceptions * Flexibility of Disease Definitions * Arthritis as an Example * Do You Need a Hospital Diagnosis When You Are Not Unwell? * Homotoxicology and the Teachings of Reckeweg * Reckeweg’s Six Levels of Deterioration * Examples of Progressive Sequences of Medical Conditions * The Miasmic Background: Important but Disputed territory * The Three Basic Homeopathic Miasms * The Tubercular Miasm * The Carcinocin Miasm * The Sub-divisions of the Tubercular Miasm * Note on Iridology SECTION 6 THE CONCEPT OF ELIMINATORY PRESSURE & ITS MANAGEMENT Eliminatory pressure is the term we use to denote the combined effect of all the various naturopathic-type measures we apply to help the body biochemistry of a sick person to return to normal. According to the “Theory of General Chronicity”, the normality of the biochemistry of the body cells, and hence their degree of freedom from toxicity and damage, is our yardstick of general health and vitality. Areas covered * The Nature of Eliminatory Pressure * Differences of Response to Naturopathic Pressure * The Interactions between Toxins and Toxic Damage * Regulating Eliminative Pressure at Manageable Levels * The Basics of Generating Eliminatory Pressure * Fasting: Free Radicals and Antioxidants * “Firing up” Eliminatory Pressure with Fruit * The Stage I and Stage 2 Elimination * Using Foods to Generate Controlled Levels of Eliminatory Pressure * Using Supplements to Generate Controlled Levels of Eliminatory Pressure * Contributions to Eliminatory Pressure from Herbs and Special Nutrients * Levels of Eliminatory Pressure, Understanding and Managing Them * The Effectiveness’, or Otherwise, of Eliminatory Reactions * The Concept of the “Chronically Acute” * The Approach to Overall Management of the Case SECTION 7 TAKING THE CASE HISTORY & UNDERSTANDING ORGANS AND ORGAN FUNCTIONS In this Section we concern ourselves with the actual technique for taking down the particulars of the case. Before we can carry out a full naturopathic diagnosis, we shall need to understand the principles of ‘Plotting the Course of Disease’.  It is from this that we will gain a full appreciation of how the sick person came to be in their present condition and this will then lead us on to the question of what to do about it.  Areas covered * The More Basic Facts * The Aims and Objectives in Taking the Case * The Organ States * Assessing the Naturopathic State of Organs * Hierarchy of Organs * Organ-Specific Diagnosis * Individually Important Organs and Systems * Blood Sugar in Relation to Vitality: Hypoglycaemia * The Adrenal Glands * how should we recognise adrenal exhaustion clinically? * The Liver * The Kidneys * The Immune System * Location of Immune System Components. * Functions of Immune System Components. * Nutritional Therapy Interpretation of Immune System Signs * The Skin SECTION 8 INTERPRETATION OF CASE HISTORY AND UNDERSTANDING INDIVIDUAL REACTIVITY In this Section, we would like you to consider the inevitability of the rules that apply to progression along the pathway to chronic disease, and to the possibility of return from any position that is well down that path. From understanding the case, you will be able to determine what the treatment should be. Areas Covered * The Naturopathic Laws and Observational Skills * The Progression of Disease * More about the Acute and the Chronic * The Nutritional Therapist’s View of Disease * The Allopathic View of Disease * More about “Charting the Naturopathic Ebb and Flow” * The Multifactorial Diagnosis * See What’s Moving, What’s Changing * Assessing Individual Reactivity * Let the Case Taking Stage Foreshadow the Interpretation just a Little * Note on The Chinese Medicine Connections SECTION 9 THE TOOLS OF THE TRADE & USING DIETS AS TREATMENT Using the information presented to you in Part One of the course, you will be able to use those same dietary paragraphs and move towards a very flexible prescribing of individually designed diets. You will make up a diet for each patient that will embody a carefully thought out modulation of the elimination/suppression aspect of our approach to health.  Areas Covered * What we have covered already * Many people may seem not to need special diets * Avoid becoming paranoid * Choices in dietary design * More about the food classes * Facing realism in your range of non-therapeutic prescriptions * Adaptation for vegetarians * Elements of directional dietary prescribing * The approach to actual therapeutic prescription SECTION 10 THE TOOLS OF THE TRADE & USING SUPPLEMENTS AS TREATMENT We provided advice in Part One of the Course on the use of supplements. We introduced the ratio between magnesium and calcium, the use of micro-minerals and the use of zinc and manganese to name but a few. Here we explain further the steps needed to apply these essential tools to ensure that your treatment advice is successful. Areas Covered * The latest advice provided by the Introductory Nutritional Course * supplementation * Legal Restraint upon use of Supplements SECTION 11 THE TOOLS OF THE TRADE & USING HERBS AS TREATMENT In the course of our treatment we often need to deal with common herbs. This is to produce certain organ-specific or system-specific effects, not obtainable with other nutrients. The effect of this is not to make Herbalists of us, but to ensure that these remedies are very carefully selected for their compatibility with other nutrients.  Areas Covered * Aloe vera * Bromelain * St john’s wort * Gingko biloba * Silymarin SECTION 12 ACTIONS OF GROUPS OF PHYTONUTRIENTS This Section begins to delve into what lies behind the known fact that fruit and vegetable consumption inhibits many diseases.  What are the substances within them that are responsible for such an important protection of the human body?  Each of the main groups is examined with the main purpose being to familiarize the Student with these substances and to offer scientific evidence that some of these really do protect against disease. Areas Covered * The Position of Phytonutrients Among Other Factors * What are Phytonutrients? * The Place of Phytonutrients among Secondary Plant Metabolites * The Different Groups of Beneficial Phytonutrients * Evidence for anti-disease activity SECTION 13 SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTS & THE COMBINED PRESCRIPTION When we write about “special supplements”, we mean to refer to those substances that are used as nutritional supplements and which do not fit into any of the previous categories mentioned. Here we teach the Student that they may in fact include many substances from many groups, leading to a diversified classification that each has their own special effects, conferring unique advantages upon the taker of them. Areas Covered * Special Supplements & combined prescription * Conducting the Consultation SECTION 14 STEERING A COURSE THROUGH TREATMENT – FLEXIBILITY AND INSIGHT Having not specifically addressed the question of what happens after the initial consultation, it is here that we bring together all the information that has been presented to you in the pages of this Nutritional Therapeutics Course, therefore, making this Section a recapitulation of things we have covered already, but brought together in a cohesive treatment of the subject. Areas Covered * Progressing the Case * Things to do at the First Consultation to help towards the Second * The Second Consultation * the meaning of different outcomes * Constipation and Diarrhoea as incidents in Treatment. * Titration of Bowel Flora * The Nutritional Therapy Intensive Cleanse * Diet * Enemas * Supplements * Juices * Duration * Supplement Sequences in Treatment * From Calcium Formulations to Calcium-Free Formulations * Other Progressions * Allergies, Intolerances and Hypersensitivities SECTION 15 SNAGS, CLEANSES AND CASE HISTORIES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TESTIMONIALS Here's what students have to say about the course KATE WOOLGER, PILATES INSTRUCTOR UK I chose the Plaskett College as I wanted something which was flexible and could be done in my own time. The content of the course really appealed. The study experience has been enjoyable - sometimes hard if a subject wasn’t so interesting. In regards to changes I have already implemented, I’m more thoughtful of thinking things through from the inception rather than just looking at the problem"

These deal with the key nutrients that we have to control to reduce weight. They will also help us to understand how to lose weight without developing deficiencies.  In Section 1, we begin the study of nutrients and foods by looking at the main bulk nutrients that our diets contain: protein, carbohydrate and fat. Before one can consider individual vitamins and minerals, one has to know about the nutrients that make up most of our diets, namely the bulk nutrients. These are the suppliers of food energy and ultimately help to decide an individual's size. You will need to understand these so as to manipulate them with skill.   Areas Covered * What are the bulk nutrients? * Chemical elements contained in the bulk nutrients * Proteins * Carbohydrates * Fibre * Fats * The energy reserve role of fat * The lipoproteins of the blood SECTION 2 UNDERSTANDING THE FIELD & NATURE OF THE PROBLEM This section introduces the basic ideas of the training.  The purpose of this course of training is to enable the student to help others who are overweight or obese to lose weight, and to do so in a professional manner.  At the same time, it aims to motivate you and empower you to set up a practice as a ‘Weight Management Consultant’ that will lead to your gaining a good reputation in this field, developing a panel of satisfied clients and bringing you both status and income.  Since losing weight is not easy, one has to be aware of all the different methods and ramifications that are a part of this intriguing subject. The professionalism comes from knowing a number of different “ways in” to help the clients and also from being able to develop awareness of the individuality of each client. This will put you in a position to find the best and most successful route to weight loss for each person who consults you. This will mean giving individual advice, not just the same advice to everyone. By recognising individuality we earn the client’s trust and appreciation and we also increase the chances of achieving the fullest possible success by being in a position to find individual solutions to each client’s problem. Areas Covered * The aims of the work * The clients’ motives * The clients themselves * The clients’ knowledge of nutrition * The place of psychology * The arithmetical equation of body weight * Ways of working * Getting fat is all too easy – we review how it happens * Definition and classification: criteria for weight normality SECTION 3 THE THEORY OF THE CAUSES OF OVERWEIGHT & OBESITY In this section we explore 'The Theory of what Causes Overweight and Obesity'. We look at the underlying reasons for this current epidemic scale of the problem in developed societies throughout the world. Understanding this will give you an insight into what needs to be done. The Weight Management Consultant clearly needs to understand as fully as possible the causes of obesity in order to be able to formulate good advice. It is necessary to understand that, although the ultimate cause is always eating more than the body requires, that factor is modified by many subsidiary factors. One, that always interests clients, is whether or not one may be predisposed by one’s inheritance to put on and retain weight, so we deal with this question. Areas covered * Relative effect of genetics and environment * Hormonal disturbance in obesity * Slower than normal rates of energy expenditure * The role of fat cells * Role of the enzyme lipoprotein lipase SECTION 4 THE HEALTH CONSEQUENCES OF EXCESS WEIGHT It is well known that being overweight or obese increases the chances of contracting chronic illnesses.  This section examines the types of illnesses involved and the way that their incidence is affected by body weight. From the standpoint of a Weight Management Consultant, the use of this information is to present clearly the vital benefits that your work can bring to your clients in terms of freedom from illness. This knowledge can augment your job satisfaction, especially when you can see the client’s health condition improving as weight comes down. That can be expected to happen sometimes, but of course not always. So, potentially this information can serve to inform your clients about the degree to which slimming down from an overweight or obese condition can help them to avoid very negative health consequences.  By passing on parts of this data to some carefully selected clients, you may perhaps either improve their flagging motivation, or increase their satisfaction level with their early results or with the efforts they are making. Areas covered * The connection between overweight and ill health * The risk of early death * Illness and death from cardiovascular disease * Illness and death from diabetes mellitus * Illness and death from hypertension * Illness and death from respiratory problems * Illness and death from gallbladder disease * Illness and immobility from arthritis * Illness from gout * Illness and death from cancer SECTION 5 FIRST PRINCIPLES OF CORRECTING EXCESS WEIGHT In this section we approach the practical side of the Weight Management Consultant’s job. The greatest skill required of the Consultant is that of formulating the advice in a way that combines efficacy with client acceptability.  The mistake most often made in the approach to weight reduction is to employ only one method yet in pursuing reduction in a person’s weight, it is best to come at the problem from multiple angles simultaneously. The person’s diet may well have to be the first and foremost approach however, the main alternative approaches involve several different ways of preventing excess food materials from being stored, leading to overweight.  If control of the diet is the only method one employs, then so much depends upon strict dietary control that the will and the motivation of the client may be too severely tested.  However, an approach in which dietary control takes pride of place, but is supported by a number of other approaches, is more likely to find client acceptability and is therefore more likely, ultimately, to be successful. In this section we list these “prevention of storage” approaches before dealing more fully with the diet. Areas covered * Strategy of weight control * Reduction of food intake * The use of balanced hypocaloric diets * Strategies for reducing food intake in practice * Using foods intended to increase metabolic rate * Mixtures of the various strategies SECTION 6 REDUCING WEIGHT THROUGH DIET & DIETARY COMPOSITION The principal purpose of this section is to understand the scope that we have to reduce food calories in the diet without necessarily reducing the total weight of food consumed. It looks closely at understanding and measuring food energy. Working in this way with diet is kindest to the clients and makes fewer demands upon their efforts and their will to succeed. Areas covered * Understanding food energy * The make-up of daily diets * What does the body have to do with tis energy? * Water content of foods * The differing energy contents of food dry matter * Substituting low-calorie for high-calorie foods * The first stage of calorie reduction * Combining diet with exercise * A further stage of calorie reduction SECTION 7 SELECTING INDIVIDUAL FOODS     The previous section talks mainly about the first principles of reducing calorie intake while keeping the weight of daily food dry matter level. This is done mainly by varying the extent to which each food class contributes to the overall diet; we simply reduce the proportions of those food classes with the higher calorie content. This section now looks within food classes to pick out those foods that, individually, have lower calorie content than the average for foods within the class concerned and make the best contribution to an individual client’s diet. This is a further step to calorie reduction without loss of food bulk. Areas covered * Different foods within any given class have different calorific values * Choosing foods within food classes for calorie reduction * Specific recommendations for individual foods within each class * Care needed in using the information * Calorie contents of the “more suitable foods” * Dietary results from substituting individual foods * The necessary provision of dietary fat * The quality of dietary protein * The quantity of dietary protein * Choosing foods for overall dietary suitability SECTION 8 BUILDING YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF FOODS INTO DIETS In the Sections that have gone before, we have noted several key strategies aimed at reducing the client’s intake of calories. This section gets down to the key job of building and structuring a diet to help each particular client - the aim now is to address the actual prescribing of diets to enable you to build upon the principles already learned and to give the client a workable diet that can achieve his or her aims. Areas Covered * The adjusting and re-balancing of the food classes * Calculating the food replacements * Targeting individual foods SECTION 9 FIRST LOOK AT CONDUCTING CONSULTATIONS This section takes you through managing the consultation, helping you to structure the activity to provide a satisfactory experience for your clients. This is the basis for a good approach to weight reduction.  The section culminates in the provision of example diet sheets with guidelines according to food classes and guidelines according to mealtimes and considers the benefits of both. Areas Covered * The consultant’s surroundings and manner * Direction of the early conversation * Collection of the dietary data * Weight-loss ideas come to you during the data collection * Identifying the largest food contributions to overweight * Balancing the food classes * Writing down the guidelines * Substitution of individual foods * Reduction in the food bulk eaten * Integrating the entire diet * Example diet sheets SECTION 10 COUNTING CALORIES. BENEFITS OF EXERCISE. THE KETO DIET. In section 10 we cover the method of calculating the calories in everyday life. We look at the benefits of exercise for suitable clients and discuss more specific diets such as the ketogenic diet.  Areas Covered * Calculating the calories * The benefits of exercise * The ketogenic diet SECTION 11 PROMOTING GOOD HEALTH. UNDERSTANDING DRUG TREATMENTS. FOLLOW-UP GUIDELINES. Brings us to the section where we set about designing slimming programmes that are not only effective at weight loss, but also promote good health. To give you an insight into the potential problems, we also look at the drug treatments given for overweight by doctors. We also take you through the guidelines for follow-ups after the first consultation. Areas Covered * Slimming programmes to promote good health * Understanding drug treatments for overweight * Follow-up guidelines SECTION 12 USE OF SUPPLEMENTS TO PROMOTE LOSS OF WEIGHT This section deals with non-food substances, or supplements that with help with weight loss. It looks at how they actually achieve this and discuss their effectiveness and safety implications for the individual. These include some micronutrients, herbs, enzyme inhibitors and sequestering agents. Areas Covered * Inhibition of fat absorption * Changing body composition * Substances encouraging increased thermogenesis * Appetite suppressants * Enzyme inhibition * Prevention of fat synthesis * Nutrients that may accelerate metabolism * Appendix 1 – some abstracts of key articles * Appendix 2 – summary of modes of action SECTION 13 MANAGING This rather substantial last section deals with a fuller and final part on “Managing the Consultations”.  This further develops your consultation skills and objective setting in weight management practice. It also addresses the tricky question of compliance and weight regain and how to avoid it. Finally, it looks at “Running your Practice as a Business” to ensure that you have a grasp of the business principles that you will need. Areas Covered * Managing the consultations – basic methodology * Note on progressive reduction in energy needs * Construction of the overall prescription – different components * Running your practice as a business * Appendix (more about why the slimming process slows down) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TESTIMONIALS Here's what students have to say about the course MRS E. MARRIOTT UK “The Plaskett course in Weight Management Consultancy has been a really good introduction into the importance of nutrition and balancing food groups to make up a healthy diet plan for those who are obese and wishing to lose weight.
