2 Welcome to Life Training Institute Life Training Institute was founded by Pastor Bill Yeary to offer Biblically-based professional programs of study in the natural health field leading to the degree of Biblical Naturopathic Doctor. LTI provides a solid education for students to establish their own professional practice while bringing the ministry of health alternatives to their communities. LTI offers courses of study specifically designed to integrate healing of the total person spirit, soul, and body. God does have a plan for healthcare. It is a system that starts with care that includes natural and spiritual applications for the healing of the whole person. If you really want to know the principles of healing and have the wisdom and power of God, then you must start with truths from the Bible. Proverbs 4:20-22 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Life isn t about where you are at, it is about where you are going. Pastor Bill Yeary ND, BND, CNHP, CCII, CS, CFCC

3 Ten Great Reasons to Choose Life Training Institute? 1. LTI has some unique courses/features. The Biblical Naturopathic Doctorate program is achievable in 2 options. One is more of an academic orientation with 29 courses, which are mostly textbooks with some that are backed with DVDs. The other option is more of a clinical orientation with 12 courses that are supported with class manuals and video taped classes on DVDs. 2. The iridology course meets the standards of the International Iridology Practitioner s Association (IIPA). Very few schools will go to the effort to meet their standards. This course is taught from DVDs and a comprehensive manual. Upon completion of the course the student is eligible to test with IIPA to become a certified iridologist or certified iridology instructor. The first year of membership is provided free with completion of LTI s iridology course. 3. The sclerology class is one of a kind. There are two other schools of thought on sclerology and LTI has combined the best of both and includes a new combined chart. This course is taught from DVDs with a comprehensive manual. It also includes the new 11x17 chart. 4. LTI s Energetic (Muscle) Response Testing course is also supported with DVDs. The course manual is complete with concepts from various schools of thought that cover muscle response testing, nutrition response testing, and meridian response testing. 5. There are 4 courses that have chosen to also be offered with hands-instruction from a certified instructor. They are Iridology, Sclerology, Energetic Response Testing, and Herbology. A student has the option of completing those courses via DVD and manual or with a personal instructor or both. 6. Other courses not always found with other traditional natural health schools but are offered by LTI are specific courses on Parasitology, Detoxification, Functional Analysis, and Establishing a Ministry Practice. Upon graduation you will have the knowledge to operate a clinical practice. 7. LTI is definitely a Christian school that teaches from Christian principles. All of the texts have been screened to exclude radical philosophy that are contrary to Biblical teaching. 8. LTI is a 501c3 non-profit Bible School/Seminary. That means a diploma from LTI offers a level of protection to its graduates when working with clients as they are practicing religion with a credential from a seminary. LTI also provides a ministers license number to those graduating as Biblical Naturopathic Doctor, License Professional Naturopathic Minister, or from the Licensure/Ordination program. 9. LTI has made arrangements with ProAdvocate for its graduates to establish their practice as a Private Healthcare Membership Association at a huge discount. This offers legal protection to clinical practitioners from control and interference issues as well as liability. ( 10.In 2012 LTI will be launching the opportunity for satellite schools. Graduates with a naturopathic diploma (BND or LPNM) have the opportunity to work through churches and ministries to host the DVD driven BND program.

6 The Philosophy of Biblical Naturopathy is Based on the Following Primary Principles: 1. The God of the Bible is the healer and He desires for all people to be in good health. 2. God uses the natural and the supernatural to restore health. 3. The body has a God-given innate ability to heal itself and will do so when properly supported. 4. Mankind was formed out of the dust of the earth and is therefore inheritantly connected to the land (nature). 5. God formed man in His image (body, soul, spirit) and that health is a function of these three interfacing parts. 6. Our bodies are meant to be the temples of the Holy Spirit to be nurtured and protected for His service. 7. It is the responsibility and privilege of believers, ministers, and priests to minister wholeness of body, soul, and spirit according to Biblical patterns and principles. And He said, "If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the LORD, am your healer." (Exodus 15:26 NAS)

7 What is a Biblical Naturopathic Doctor? Naturopathic Biblical doctors are trained specialists in a separate and distinct healing art that operates according to Biblical principles. They use non-invasive natural and spiritual modalities such as food-stuffs, herbs, scripture, and prayer. They are not orthodox medical doctors (MDs). Biblical Naturopathic doctors (BNDs) have participated in a specialized course of study in conventional naturopathic subjects such as anatomy, physiology, counseling, dietary evaluations, nutrition, herbology, acupressure, homeopathy, iridology, sclerology, bio-electromagnetic energy, and detoxification. In addition, they have training in prayer, laying on of hands, anointing with oil, inner healing, and the removal of demonic influences. Biblical Naturopathic doctors cooperate with all branches of medical science, referring individuals to a physician or other practitioner as appropriate. In practice, Biblical Naturopaths utilize Godly, natural, and science-based evaluation procedures to develop an individualized approach to restoration of health and wholeness. Biblical Naturopaths do not diagnose or label people with the names of medical diseases, nor are they involved in the practice of medical procedures. Neither do they use pharmaceutical drugs, nor do they perform surgery. In essence, they are drugless practitioners trained in Biblical principles for the purpose of ministering to the whole person - spirit, soul, and body.

What is the hidden cause of symptoms? What will the health challenges be five years from now? The lines in the sclera change as health conditions change. Thus Sclerology is an excellent way to confirm that a natural therapy is working. Are cold hands and feet a circulatory, thyroid, constitutional-vitality, or immunological problem? What is the key to losing weight? Is it glucose metabolism, the endocrine glands, the liver, or an allergy pattern? Is chronic fatigue attributed to a chronic infection, a weak endocrine system (thyroid/adrenals), an exhausted immune system, a liver weakness? The answer is reflected in the sclera!

27 Frequently Asked Questions Does your school have a license or accreditation? LTI is accredited by the Natural World Health Organization. LTI is currently investigating the value of being accredited with other organizations. We have not, nor do we plan to seek accreditation through the U.S. Department of Education. I am interested in your school, but I am wondering how your school compares with others. We believe that we have the best direct education program available in Naturopathy. Students continually tell us how excited they are over the course materials. Our tuition is generally much less than other self study direct education programs in this field by at least a $1000 or more. What are the requirements to enroll? We require the minimum of a high school diploma or GED to enroll in any program we offer. If I complete your programs, are the courses I ve taken transferable to another school or organization? Most comparative schools will accept courses for credit, but each school sets its own policy on accepting credits from other institutions. We cannot guarantee that other schools will offer comparable courses and give credit for work completed. We will furnish you with an official transcript and course descriptions as needed to support your efforts. What is the time limit to complete a distance training program? The Licensed Minister, Ordained Minister, Certified Biblical Health Coach, and Certified Biblical Nutritionist Program must be completed within 3 years. The four Naturopathy Programs must be completed within 6 years. Extensions for hardship cases may be applied for in writing. Are other courses accepted from other learning institutions? Yes, as long as the course material is comparative. Provide a transcript or other descriptive information so a decision can be made. What texts are used and how are they obtained? Some courses are published books that are easily obtained from Amazon.com or other retail outlets. It is the student s responsibility to obtain the required texts/materials for their program. Some course materials are provided with your tuition payment from LTI. Those are designated n the web site and in the catalog. Can I get a book list for all the courses in my program? Yes, that is provided upon enrollment. If desired before enrollment, it can be ed. Will you or mail the course questions and can I the course answers or must I mail them? Exams may be mailed or ed as a pdf as you desire. You may either mail or a pdf of your answers. Keep a copy if you mail it. Tell me about the license and is there a license number? The license is a ministry license and is in no way connected to the state or government approval for a licensed medical profession. The number issued with the license is for tracking and identification, and to honor the professional status. Some retail supplement companies request a license number as well as some health savings accounts (HSA) have been known to accept license numbers issued. What are the benefits of maintaining my certification/ licensure? LTI desires to represent its graduates well and to be represented well. Renewal is a means of maintaining current contact information, promoting incentive for continuing education, and for making discounts and opportunities available. The graduate list will be updated with those in good standing. It is an honor to display the credential earned place the designation behind your name. Those in good standing will be able to join upcoming forums. Can I just take the classroom courses offered without enrolling for a program? Yes, the cost would be the same as the tuition for that course.
