I thought this was going to be abit corny but logged into the 'university' and enrolled in the free course '7 Syndrome Healing' which is basically about supplementation etc

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The 7-Syndrome Healing Course is based on the book 7-Syndrome Healing: Supplement Essentials for the Mind and Body, by Marcia Zimmerman, CN and Jayson Kroner. This course will take you on an in-depth journey that covers 130 of the most effective and beneficial dietary supplements on the market today. You'll learn the basics of core vitamins, minerals and other natural compounds important to anyone seeking to prevent the seven syndromes. This course will teach you how these vitamins, minerals and herbs can help stop the endless progression of health problems that are so prevalent today; and they do so in the best possible way - naturally.

I have only listened to the first lesson and it seems quite good, especially if someone doesnt have alot of knowledge on vitamins etc. It doesnt look like the qualifications get u anything other then improving your knowledge, there is a test if u want to do it but there was a small catch, to get your certificate u have to buy a book about the subject, but its quite cheap $5?? Otherwise u can just listen to the lessons buti think theres more info if u read the book. It seems quite extensive and good for people who are new to cfs and have no health related knowledge/experience. But im thinking after doing this course you will feel the need to take every dam supplement available, lol.
