The Clayton College of Natural Health based in Birmingham, Alabama offers accreditation in the natural health field by the American National Naturopathic Medical Accreditation Board.
Clayton College uses unrecognized accreditation provided by the American National Naturopathic Medical Accreditation Board. and the American Association of Drugless Practitioners These organisations are not recognised accreditation agencies by the USOE.
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.
Critics say that degrees issued by Clayton may not be acceptable to employers or other institutions, and use of degree titles may be restricted or illegal in some jurisdictions.
Well-known graduates include Gillian McKeith, Hulda Regehr Clark and Jonny Bowden,
McKeith's credentials from Clayton have been the focus of comment in The Guardian's Bad Science column, specifically noting the institution's refusal to make McKeith's doctoral dissertation available for outside review. In February 2007, McKeith agreed to stop using the title "Dr" on advertising for her company or its products, due to the unaccredited nature of her Clayton education.
