🔹 Important Warning from Eric Darche 🔹

"Be careful not to succumb to the siren songs or fall into the traps of marketing, whose role is to turn all the weaknesses of a training program into selling points."

Some schools claim that it is unnecessary to undergo training with a significant number of hours or offer prices that seem very attractive at first glance. In reality, when one seriously examines the value for money, one might be disappointed: the actual duration of the training relative to the price, the actual content, sometimes incorrect or missing information, etc.

Reminder: In France, the average duration is 1,200 hours.

At ENHED school, in a factual and objective manner, we believe that 1,200 hours of training are insufficient considering the knowledge and experience that need to be mastered before starting to practice professionally as a naturopathic hygienist.

In many European countries where training is officially recognized, the duration is a minimum of 2,000 hours. Let's not forget that sooner or later, naturopathy will be recognized in France with a standardized training duration for all European countries; it will revolve around a minimum of 2,000 hours, as is already the case in Germany, Portugal, and Switzerland.

This minimum duration is neither a whim nor a forced feeding of information intended to flatter the ego or the mind.

🔹 Would you agree to have heart surgery performed by a surgeon who has undergone accelerated training?

Even though the profession of a naturopath is quite different, the responsibility of a serious naturopath involves an irreducible amount of training time; without this, essential concepts will inevitably be lacking.

The duration of a training program does not guarantee 100% quality, but it is unrealistic to believe that one can become a naturopath—or a naturopath-hygienist—with a course that is cut short in terms of hours.

The training period also serves to achieve a minimum level of professional and personal maturity; wanting to rush inevitably comes at the expense of these two fundamental criteria.

From a marketing perspective, a short (less than a year and a half) and inexpensive course is attractive to the student... but who will pay the price?

The client, who may suffer the consequences on their health.

We observe the damage, often unconscious, caused by poorly trained naturopaths, despite the irresistible marketing arguments of the schools they come from. Some patients even report that their health deteriorated after following the advice of naturopathy practitioners.

Interviewing the naturopathy students themselves is not conclusive for getting a true idea of a school: one cannot be both judge and party. If important information is missing in the courses — or if it is false, outdated, or obsolete — the new naturopath will not be able to detect it; for that, they would need to have more knowledge than the course author!

After more than thirty years of practice, it is evident that today's patients exhibit more disorders than a few decades ago, which requires an even higher level of competence.

Many naturopaths who have undergone simplified training, which is outdated or filled with vague or obsolete claims, risk compromising the well-being of their clients and patients.

🔹At what point will one realize the weakness of a training?

When a naturopath encounters the real issues of their patients and is unable to help them, even though they are not legally bound to an obligation of results!

In some cases, we see naturopaths coming to public forums like Facebook groups to ask for help because they are unable to properly assist their client-patient.

🔹 What results can a well-trained naturopath achieve?

Below, you will find some examples of possible results with the protocols taught at the ENHED school. That said, nothing miraculous or related to quackery.

It is simply the mundane reality of a properly trained professional.

Let us remember that beyond the fine speeches, the core of the naturopathic hygienist's profession is to correct the client's or patient's mistakes regarding health factors by offering appropriate and individualized adjustments to their organic and biochemical terrain.

This requires strong scientific knowledge, particularly in nutrition and micronutrition, and the ability to individualize each piece of advice.

The results you are about to discover are only possible if the student, when faced with a disorder of the body, is able to identify and correct each and every cause. This meticulous work of research and craftsmanship (similar to the practice of a watchmaker) requires specialized training: the causes can be very subtle.

For example, a simple deficiency in vitamin B9 or the presence of heavy metals can block an enzymatic reaction and, as a rebound effect, prevent the recycling of a toxic intermediate metabolite (TIM), which will be eliminated in the form of mucus.

This may cause, among other things, a sticky eye in the morning upon waking.

This is the case for gliadinomorphin in wheat and casomorphin in dairy products.

The focus is not intended to impress with a display of scientific knowledge, but rather to show that modern or 2.0 naturopathy can only be practiced with high-quality and sufficiently long training.

Failing to connect all the subtle causes to a disorder, the naturopath may be tempted to fill in the gaps with purges or dietary supplements indiscriminately: this is colloquially known as "green naturopathy."

A good training—rich in the accuracy of its content spread over a certain period of time—should allow for the improvement of most situations from the first consultation.

We remind you that a naturopath-hygienist does not treat any disease; they merely contribute to the recovery and restoration of the integrity of their client-patient's body, as much as possible, by promoting the body's homeostatic mechanisms through all their advice.

Unfortunately, it is often after their training that the naturopath realizes during consultations that their knowledge lacks the precision needed to make a difference.

Before choosing a school, beyond marketing, price, or shortened duration, remember that even in the era of artificial intelligence, one cannot overlook the quality and maturity of the therapist. This requires time and the assimilation of sometimes very subtle knowledge: the truth is hidden in the details!

Do not rely on ChatGPT to provide you with all the scientific and practical subtleties necessary for an optimized consultation; the profession is primarily based on listening, empathy, and very precise and detailed scientific knowledge.

Naturopathy is a practice of common sense, intuitive and experimental, but it must necessarily rely on a rigorous high-level approach.

If naturopathy today suffers from a tarnished image in the media—partly due to economic interests and conflicts of interest—naturopaths also bear some responsibility: the lack of training, with sometimes serious consequences for the health of clients-patients, fuels tabloid press and disappoints many people seeking results.
