Revision as of 19:49, 12 February 2007 by Valjean (talk | contribs) (fix ref that wasn't functioning properly)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Clayton College of Natural Health is a college based in Birmingham, Alabama.
According to its web site:
Clayton College is accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and the American Naturopathic Medical Accreditation Board. These are private, professional associations that offer accreditation in naturopathy and other areas of natural health. Both are private accrediting associations designed to meet the needs of non–traditional education and are not affiliated with any government agency.
It offers distance-learning courses in Alternative Medicine. Because Clayton College uses unrecognized accreditation, the use of the qualifications conferred by it are not recognized by the United States Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and are considered "bogus" by the academic community.
In an article published on the Quackwatch web site, Stephen Barrett, M.D. recommends "avoiding both the school and its alumni."
Graduates include Gillian McKeith and Hulda Regehr Clark.
