Conference

The Lifestyle Interventions with Natural Remedies for Health Professionals Conference offers continuing education for licensed healthcare professionals (MD, DO, NP, PA, RN, RD, only). Attend on campus or remotely. Our purpose is to educate healthcare professionals and others about the lifestyle and natural remedy interventions that are available to prevent and treat disease. Continuing education will be offered until midday Friday. Over Friday evening and Saturday we will have worship services and special presentations related to medical missionary work and gospel ministry.

Experience the food, the lifestyle center facilities, the benefits of a more natural lifestyle, and best of all, the people.

Statement of Purpose

This program is designed to provide healthcare professionals, educators and clergy with reliable scientific evidence-based natural remedy therapies for acute and chronic lifestyle-induced diseases. The attendees will be informed in three important objectives: Medically, the primary emphasis is placed on prevention through three therapeutic procedures—mental hygiene, physical medicine, and diet therapy. Educationally, the endeavor is made, not simply to cure the immediate malady, but to instruct the patient in basic principles of health that can be applied at home and carried out in future living. Inspirationally/Spiritually, the health principles are presented in an inspirational setting, with the hope of furnishing the client/patient an inspirational incentive to live in harmony with natural laws and find release from the tensions of life in a fellowship with The Almighty.
