Together these institutions have an enrollment of more than 2,000 students. |

 In the most recent DMILS study, in 2005, a group of researchers from bastyr university and the University of Washington gathered 30 couples with strong emotional and psychological connections and also a great deal of experience in meditation. The pairs were split up and placed in rooms 10 meters away from each other, with an EEG amplifier wired up to the occipital (visual) lobe of the brain of each participant. The moment each sender was exposed to a flickering light, he or she attempted to transmit an image or thought about the light to the partner. |

 When we started bastyr university, in 1978, we had 31 students, and when I left as president of the university in 2000, we had 150 students entering the program, so it increased by a factor of 5 in the 22 years that they had at Bastyr.
You've been reading part three of a five-part interview with Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, the founding president of bastyr university. Dr. Pizzorno was appointed by President Clinton in December 2000 to the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy. |

In his book, Plant Medicine in Practice, Mitchell mentions two favorite formulas using eleuthero. The first combines one part eleuthero with two parts fresh milky oat tincture. He recommends thirty drops of this mixture, four times per day, for people whose nervous systems are debilitated after illness or injury. The second formula combines two parts eleuthero with one part licorice and one part American ginseng. |

 Go to bastyr university and get a real education in health. MDs, you’re on the way out.
We need a nation where the smartest people -- the professionals, the pharmacists, the doctors, the researchers, and so on -- actually engage in things that help people, not things that hurt people. I mean, it should be common sense, right? Shouldn’t our smartest people be thinking about ways to actually help people be healthier instead of just keeping them diseased and on drugs for the rest of their lives? I think so. |

| Ron Hobbs, a naturopathic doctor and professor at bastyr university, agrees. "Nutrition is key."
In OA, cartilage breaks down faster than your body can rebuild it, so you need to eat plenty of joint-strengthening foods to fight back. "If you're not eating the nutrients, they're not in your blood," Hobbs warns, and your cartilage won't get what it needs to regrow. "You've got to have these nutrients on board. |

 I was only 30 years old when I started bastyr university, so I had a lot of energy then!
Mike: And you have good longevity because you follow your own advice.
Dr. Pizzorno: I do try to follow my own advice. I'm an avid basketball player, and I still play every week with the students, and there's a group of guys I've been playing with for about 15 years, and all but one of the people I started out playing with 15 years ago no longer play anymore. |

| That's nothing new to Ron Hobbs, a naturopathic doctor and professor at bastyr university in Washington state.
Hobbs and other experts attribute the fish oil's healing powers to its vast store of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). If he could do only one thing for people besides urge them to exercise, says Hobbs, he would "make sure they got more omega-3 in their diet."
Be warned that fish oil supplements may contain toxins from the fish's food and water, although some experts say the risk is slim. Supplements can also interfere with certain medications. |

| Somebody who's well-qualified, has done their pre-med, and has good grades and good recommendations should be able to get into one of the naturopathic colleges. bastyr university has probably the highest standards, it's the most difficult to get into, probably because we've been accredited the longest and have, I think, the most rigorous science program, but all the schools provide a good education, and there's typically enough room for qualified candidates.
Mike: And what is the big trend here -- are there more graduates each year than the previous year?
Dr. Pizzorno: There have been. |
| Mike: I have another question for you about the school -- one of the big criticisms of conventional med schools is the influence of pharmaceutical companies, and I'm curious how pharmaceutical companies' information and research are integrated into bastyr university.
Dr. Pizzorno: Well, we give our students basic training in pharmacology, and the basic drugs, but they don't get detailed by the drug companies. |
| You're a founding president of bastyr university, and that is widely considered one of the leading universities in naturopathic medicine. What kind of training does a future naturopath receive?
Dr. Pizzorno: Well, it's in many ways quite similar to conventional medicine. In order to enter a naturopathic medical school, a student first has to complete a pretty standard pre-med, and it's a four-year graduate school, and upon graduation, they either go into practice or into a residency, and then they have to take the state boards to become licensed. |

Dr. Haas and I both lead detox groups in our hometowns of San Rafael, California, and Sun Valley, Idaho, respectively. Together we bring to this newly revised book many lessons we learned from our clients and class participants. From this experience, I saw a need for a wider range of Detox Diets to meet individual goals. |

| In the years that I spent on campus at bastyr university, while earning my Bachelor's and Master's degrees, I did my classroom and clinical work alongside naturopathic, Oriental medicine, and Ayurvedic students. This is where I learned the value of taking a holistic approach to health and nutrition. To treat an individual holistically means to take into consideration all aspects of that individual including mind and body, seeing to both their emotional and nutritional needs. |
