From the Assistant Editor
I am a Nature Cure ex-patient, doing my best to follow NC guidelines. I am not a member of ISRN so I am not qualified to comment on its activities as a professional body.
I can only add my agreement and profound regret to others' comments within this and previous issues about the lack of active on-going NC training for practitioners.
I regret to say that I fear Nature Cure's days are numbered as a specific, recognised alternative therapy. Too many NC ideas and philosophies have bled into other health areas... and adly, there are now few full-time practitioners left practising. They are the surviving pioneers of an era, fast disappearing.
At the risk of being 'edited out'(!) by our Senior Editor, can I say that I feel he should be congratulated and applauded for taking this initiative - the NC File has thrived for one year and a bit, but in its short life, it has united and stimulated its readers/writers; it has created a lively dialogue where virtually none existed; it has been informative, inclusive and enjoyable to read on more than one level, for practitioners and patients alike.
Perhaps more than any of you, I have witnessed the enormous energy, enthusiasm and commitment involved in its production. Thank you Sandy for sharing this with me - for the interest and benefit of us all.
Long live the new NC Website! I hope you will log on and continue to be involved in the NC dialogue.
May we take this opportunity to THANK all our writers for their contributions within this and previous issues.
