Introduction The aim of our Institute is to promote the safe and effective use of natural therapeutics. To this effect, we have structured an in-house training program for persons who wish to become innovators in the field of natural health. As a Research Associate of the Institute, you will learn about natural health and participate in our research function.
As a Research Associate, you will be guided through our in-house training program which provides up to date, accurate information on natural health substances, which are safe, effective and evidence based. During your in-house training program you will conduct research in the field of natural health, which will be used by the Institute for health information promotion. All training materials are a based on evidence-based, scientific research in natural health, and are regularly updated as new developments occur. There are 38 self-contained modules in the program, which you can study at your own pace. The average duration of our in-house training program is two to three years depending on your pace. Research Associates can begin their program at any time throughout the year. We encourage our Research Associates to conduct their own original research during their training program as part of their dissertation. Research is submitted to the Institute for publication. On acceptance of the Research Associate's research and completion of the in-house training program, Research Associates are illegible to become Fellow Members of the Institute by invitation.
The HONERI Diploma Currently there is no better way to learn about Herbology and Optimum Nutrition in Southern Africa, plus most other countries in the world, as we set our standards among the tope institutions in this field in the world. As an International Research Institute, we are able to facilitate enrollment of Research Associates anywhere in the world, as training is contacted electronically via the Internet or by CD-ROM. No longer do you have to scour libraries and books to get accurate, evidence based information on natural health substances. The HONERI has been established to provide training for those who are unable to undertake full-time studies. You may have family, job, financial or other commitments that prevent you from participating in on-campus program in natural health. With the training methods HONERI methods, you learn in the convenience of your own home, working at your own pace. You can start studying at any time throughout the year. Study where and when you choose! Because this course is offered electronically, you can access to study materials and reference materials at any time, anywhere. Everything you need can be downloaded off the student reference base on the HONERI Website. Distance learning is not for everyone. It does require self-motivation and self-discipline. If you need a controlled classroom environment in order to learn, then the HONERI may not be for you. If, however, you can set and consistently follow your own work schedule, then you may find your HONERI experience to be particularly rewarding. Highly motivated Research Associates are able to complete their correspondence programs in less time than it would have taken in full-time resident studies. Our goal is to attract Research Associates from diverse backgrounds who will enhance the development and advancement of Herbology and Optimal Nutrition. We welcome applications from school-age leavers and mature-age / non-school leaver applicants. The natural therapies profession is interested in cultivating the natural skills and gifts of people who are attracted to helping and educating the public. This holistic approach ensures the vocation is available to people with genuine desires to help and learn. Research published since 1920 repeatedly indicates that correspondence or distance study is every bit as effective as classroom training. Often it is more effective. This may be because Research Partners are able to choose subjects for which they have special interests or aptitudes, and/or because of their greater maturity and self-discipline.
If you are seeking personal satisfaction in this field – if you enjoy the experience of learning itself – then an the HONERI Research Associate program will likely be an excellent match for your interests and vocation. Training Materials For Research Associates Without Internet Access. For Research Associates who do not have access to the Internet we have produced a professional CD ROM disk, which contains all program notes and other resources. The HONERI Research Associate Program Objectives The HONERI’s Research and Education program is intended:
The HONERI is an international institute without walls. It has no campuses, no buildings, no classrooms and no schedules. Without these costly overheads, the HONERI is able to provide significant training for a fraction of the cost of on-campus studies at traditional universities or other herbal schools. Research Associates work at their own pace in the comfort of their own homes, wherever in the world they may be located. Local and international Research Facilitators similarly work from their own homes and personal offices.
Research Facilitators and Research Associates communicate with each other via fax, telephone, email, and postal service. All instruction, textbooks and supporting materials, are presented in the English language. Each module in the HONERI program is self-contained. It will always include a test assignment, or essay assignment (or both), which is to be completed at the Research Associate's convenience and sent by mail or email to HONERI. These are routed to a Research Facilitator for grading and evaluation. There are no final examinations at the end of our program. Once Research Associates have completed all their assignments and have had them marked, plus had their research dissertation marked they will be eligible for graduation into the Fellowship. Research Associates who do not have computer access will have their assignments sent to them in printed form. Research Associates must obtain a mark of at least 75% to pass assignments. GRADUATION Students must have:
There are no predetermined graduation dates. You may graduate as soon as you have fulfilled all the necessary requirements for the program. Your Diploma, congratulatory letter and invitation to become a Fellow of the Institute will be sent to you by the Head Office shortly thereafter.

Dr.
Anthony Rees has since 1997, co-coordinated PHARMAPACT, a Health
Freedom group in South Africa and has become a leading international
activist for Health Rights. (www.gaiaresearch.co.za/pharmapact) Dr. Anthony Rees realized that there is a considerable lack of concise, evidence-based Herbology training in the world, so began writting training materials in 1995. He realized that if one wanted to become a proficient Herbologist, a Research Associate needn’t enter into a full four-year degree program which has sold out to the medical paradigm of health and disease, nor should they be made to pay for courses that are outdated or based on anecdotal evidence and superstition.
Herbology involves the treatment of ill health by the use of the whole plant or a part of the plant, such as the leaf, or a preparation of the plant. Herbology today, synthesizes traditional herbal philosophy and expertise with up-to-date medical understanding. A wide knowledge of herbs and nutritional substances and their preparation is required, together with knowledge of anatomy, physiology, basic pathology and biochemistry to become a competent Consulting Herbologist Become A Research Associate For Your Own Interest! The Research Associate program is not limited to persons wanting to become practicing Clinical Herbalists. Many people have chosen to do the course to reclaim their birthright to freely use nature's dispensary for themselves, friends and families.
With the ever increasing prices of good herbal products and more pharmaceutically-modeled restrictions imposed by governments, thereby hindering availability of wholesome, ethical herbal preparations, this course will enable you to rightfully and lawfully reclaim your health and others health with superior quality, home-made herbal preparations. Become a Research Associate To Help Others! Most Research Associates aim to set up their own consultancy, working on either a full or part-time basis. Some may join other complementary therapists and practice in an integrated health clinic. In some cases Research Associates have been invited to work with medical doctors in a multi-disciplinary, integrative medical clinics. The program covers aspects of philosophy, history and traditional uses of plant substances and preparations, while anchoring Herbology and Optimum Nutrition as a scientific, evidence-based vocation. Selected wild plants, medicinal trees and health substances are examined for their application in the relief of most common ailments and dis-eases.
