The Level 7 Professional Diploma in Natural Health is an advanced, postgraduate-level qualification that delivers a rigorous and pioneering education in the science of natural health. This program integrates core biomedical principles with progressive, paradigm-challenging research to equip learners with a comprehensive and critical understanding of hu-man health.
Beginning with an introductory overview of human anatomy and physiol-ogy, the curriculum then broadens to investigate the global health land-scape, offering a critical analysis of the persistent failure to effectively address chronic diseases worldwide.
The course dives deeper into to the complex, often-overlooked correla-tion between diet and disease. Learners are encouraged to cultivate in-dependent and critical thinking in evaluating dominant medical para-digms. Emphasis is placed on the root cause of diseases, correct ap-proach, the application of safe, effective, and evidence-informed natural therapies.
This diploma is ideally suited to health professionals and advanced learners seeking to enhance their clinical reasoning, explore both con-ventional and alternative perspectives on disease causation, and devel-op applied skills in health research, ethical client consultation, natural remedy formulation and prescription.
This foundational module provides an advanced exploration of the structure and function of the human body across its major systems. It covers cellular biology, tissue types, and integrated physiology with a focus on how the body maintains health and responds to internal and external stressors. Special attention is given to how systemic imbalances manifest in clinical signs and symptoms.
By the end of this module, students will be able to critically evaluate the current global patterns of disease and the persistent burden of chronic illness despite significant advancements in biomedical knowledge and technology. They will develop the ability to identify and analyse the root causes of this global health paradox, including socio-economic, environmental, dietary, and systemic medical factors. Learners will gain research skills to assess population health data, question dominant health paradigms, and propose innovative, evidence-informed strategies grounded in natural health science for addressing chronic disease at both individual and population levels.
Students study the most prevalent acute and chronic diseases, exploring their clinical presentation and dominant aetiological models. The module challenges students to critically assess mainstream assumptions and investigate other contributory factors, alternative causal frameworks, including toxicity, nutrient deficiency, and lifestyle-induced pathology.
This module investigates the multifaceted role of food in health and disease. Students examine how different diets correlate with disease outcomes globally, and how food toxicity, nutrient depletion, food processing, and environmental contaminants influence disease manifestation, including temperature-specific symptom variation.
Module Aim:
To explore the clinical application of advanced nutritional interventions, orthomolecular principles, and detoxification protocols in addressing chronic disease and promoting sys-temic homeostasis.
A detailed survey of some of the safest and most potent natural health substances, including herbs, vitamins, minerals, nutraceuticals, and food-based medicines. Each substance is evaluated for its chemical composition, therapeutic properties, traditional use, clinical evidence, dosage guidelines, and contraindications.
Learners develop clinical skills in patient interviewing, observation, symptom analysis, and natural remedy prescription—without relying on invasive or high-cost diagnostics. Emphasis is placed on developing intuition, pattern recognition, and root-cause identification through detailed, independent case studies, investigative observation and thorough in-depth analysis.
Topics include client confidentiality, informed consent, practitioner integrity, marketing practices, legal obligations, and boundaries of practice. Learners develop their own code of conduct aligned with global best practices and the expectations of a health-conscious public.
