You are now at the beginning of an adventure in learning that is designed to help lay a foundation for
you to understand and effectively impart the powerful effects of natural healing. The practice of
Original Medicine was founded by the Great Physician at the dawn of Creation and has proven to be the
uniquely superior protocol for maintaining physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health throughout
the ages.
The International Institute of Original Medicine (IIOM) provides a full spectrum of offerings designed
to empower personal self-improvement and professional aspirations. Our goal at IIOM is to provide this
empowerment through self-paced, comprehensive, yet affordable, natural health education offerings.
Our dynamic curriculum is also designed to change in response to the ever-changing needs of our
valued students.
We are confident that you will find our program to be one of the most diversified programs available in
the field of natural healing in the 21st century. We provide these offerings in a dynamic, relevant, and
efficient educational delivery system designed to meet the diversified needs of our valued, self-directed,
and mature students. Our continuing effort will be to help you maintain a balance in your life between
demands on your time, economic considerations, and your desire to further your education, while
providing you with clear, comprehensive, and practical health information in an easy-to-absorb and
efficient format.
In each of our educational programs, you will learn the importance of viewing people as health
partners, not patients. You will also learn the importance of speaking in terms of health and not disease.
You will learn to become a health educator and a coach.
We thank you for participating in the programs we offer. It is our hope to significantly contribute to
your natural health learning, application, and teaching efforts.
We welcome you as a fellow health partner and student in IIOM. We look forward to working with you
and being of service to you and your aspirations in the field of natural healing.
