Learning about Health
Has Never Been
Easier
or More Useful
When you study with the Global College of Natural Medicine and receive an online holistic nutrition certificate. Not only will your career options expand with a nutritional consultant training, offering you a brighter future, but you will also be healthier, happier and quite possibly wealthier. Let me explain why. My name is Dr. Johnstone and I am the Director of the Global College (GCNM).
The Threat Hanging over Our Heads
Most Americans are not aware of a very powerful threat hanging over our heads. It’s not terrorism, oil shortages or some other political issue. The clearest and most pressing danger lies in the fact that every second American has at least one chronic illness as we speak, while 60 million people suffer from multiple chronic conditions. Despite advances in modern medicine our health is worse today than ever before in our history! There is no doubt that sickness affects us directly, causing untold suffering and hardship. I’m here to tell you how the situation got so bad and how a learning about holistic nutrition can help you do something about it. Please read on.
 In the year 2000, the U.S. population was 276 million. Nearly half of the population – 125 million Americans – lived with some type of chronic condition. About 60 million lived with multiple chronic conditions. Examples of chronic conditions are diabetes, cancer, glaucoma and heart disease. The number of people with chronic conditions is growing at an alarming rate.
So Why Are We Sick?
I’ll be brutally honest here so there are no misunderstandings: We get sick because our lack of health is economically profitable for a lot of big companies and shareholders. This includes:
There’s a lot of money to be made in making and keeping us sick. As professor Paul Zane Pilzer explains in his best-selling book, The Wellness Revolution: “Incredibly powerful economic forces are preventing people from taking control of their health and actually encouraging them to gain weight – forces so powerful that nothing short of a revolution will be able to stop them.” 
 Since birth we’ve been bombarded with millions of ads that turn us into happily paying consumers of the very things that make us sick. Now the only way for us to become and stay healthy for life is to train ourselves to see through all the commercial deception and brainwashing, and learn how to be healthy. This is what we teach in the nutritional consultant program at the Global College.
We cannot expect a solution from those who don’t have our best interest at heart. We have to take matters into our own hands. And when we learn how to take care of ourselves and our loved ones with holistic nutrition certification, we learn something equally important at the same time: How to help the other half of the population that is constantly and chronically ill.
Wellness - The Biggest Opportunity of The 21st Century
Professor Pilzer defines the wellness industry as the next big boom that will revolutionize our lives.
“We are now at the very beginning of the next trillion dollar industry”, he writes in The Wellness Revolution, “an industry that will impact almost every aspect of our lives and achieve $1 trillion in sales within 10 years, but one that is as unknown today as the automobile industry was in 1908 or the personal computer industry was in 1981.
 “In order to define the wellness industry and identify its opportunities, we must first distinguish it from a related industry based on some of the same technology – the current $1.5 trillion ( U.S. ) healthcare industry. … Healthcare is a misnomer, as this one seventh of the economy is really devoted to the sickness business... The sickness business is reactive. Despite its enormous size, people become customers only when they are stricken by and react to a specific condition or ailment. No one really wants to be a customer.
“In the next 10 years, an additional $1 trillion of the U.S. economy will be devoted to the yet-unnamed wellness business… The wellness business is proactive. People voluntarily become customers – to feel healthier, to reduce the effects of aging, and to avoid becoming customers of the sickness business. Everyone wants to be a customer of this earlier stage approach to health.” 
Join The Revolution – Enroll in the Online Nutritional Consultant Program with GCNM
As pointed out earlier, powerful forces are preventing us from taking control of our health and actually encouraging us to eat unhealthy, gain weight and smother ourselves in toxic chemicals. These forces are so powerful that only a revolution will be able to stop them.
Professor Pilzer: “The emerging wellness industry is as much a reaction to the tyranny of the sickness and the food industries as it is to every person’s desire for the freedom wellness offers. Wellness is the next natural step forward in our destiny and in the advancement of humankind.
“The revolutionary leaders in wellness are the entrepreneurs who grow and procreate wellness, the inventors who instigate wellness services and products, and the practitioners and distributors who carry the wellness message throughout society. Take your pick of how you want to be a leader of this new industry.” 
Wellness or Sickness – Your Choice
 The time has come to choose which side you want to be on: Wellness or sickness? We all have a purpose to serve on this beautiful planet. You can either choose to actively pursue nutritional consultant certification and seek out solutions, continually nourishing your body and reviving your spirit – or you can remain passive about the potential perils lurking around us, gradually losing your life energy until sickness finally catches up with you.
If you don’t make a decision, the choice will be made for you by the financially motivated food, chemical and drug companies or by the media addicted to advertisement dollars. But will that serve your benefit?
Building Wealth through Promoting Health
The biggest opportunity of the 21st century has just begun, offering never-before-seen ways of building wealth through promoting health. Stake your claim in the coming natural health and wellness revolution! With the online holistic nutrition certificate program you can learn about holistic nutrition, herbs and natural ways of keeping yourself and your family healthy or start a new career in this exciting field.

Food Matters Documentary
 We are graduates from the GCNM
Nutritional Consultant course. Prior to enrolling, we thoroughly
researched the internet for a college of natural medicine that was
to provide us with solid and independently researched information.
The GCNM NC course was exactly that and the quality of their
curriculum and student support exceeded our expectations.
We were so inspired and impressed with the content of the course
that we immediately started applying this information to our own
lives. We were astonished that such life-transforming information was not more widely known and practiced. During our studies we decided on focusing on how to share this
knowledge with people around the world, so that billions could
powerfully transform and improve their lives. We’ve always believed
that with access to solid information, people will invariably make
good choices for their health.
We thus decided to film a documentary on nutrition and curing
disease naturally. Since graduating in May 2007 we headed off around
the globe interviewing many of the authors and teachers we studied
while undergoing the GCNM NC course. We now have the trailer to our
film Food Matters online and the feature film will be available soon.
Without the knowledge we aquired while studying
the NC course we would have not been able to undertake such a
venture and thank the team at GCNM for their wonderful support.

"I researched nutritional colleges for several months to find the right fit for me. I finally chose Global College of Natural Medicine 
"My husband and I retired to Costa Rica late in 2003. Soon after we arrived, I realized that there were no herbal tinctures in this country, only pills. I then found a wonderful organic herb farm among the coffee plantations in the mountains near where we live. I bought a kilo of Echinacea purpurea and a big bottle of 190 proof alcohol from a friend of a friend who had a still. That was almost three years ago. Today, my company, Natural Herbal Tinctures (www.naturalherbaltinctures.com) is developing into a full time business. The changes since I made my initial batch of Echinacea tincture in Santa Fe, NM to my business now in Costa Rica are nothing short of amazing. It is an understatement, to say that the growth of my business would not have been possible had I not enrolled with the Global College of Natural Medicine.
