The American Association of Drugless Practitioners Certification and Accreditation Board would like to personally invite you to become a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner and a member of a worldwide organization that feels it is time for drugless practitioners to enjoy the same benefits as any other professional. As other professionals are being certified in their field, the American Association of Drugless Practitioners believes it is time qualified Holistic Practitioners be recognized as experts in their field. The AADP feels that qualified practitioners serve the public health needs more as professionals, thereby should be differentiated from those who are not. The following information should answer most of your questions about the Association.

AADP promotes an enhanced professional image and prestige among practitioners of traditional and nontraditional therapies and methodologies. AADP fosters unity among "grass roots" practitioners and those with advanced academic credentials. AADP brings reputable chiropractors, naturopaths, acupuncturists and other "drugless" healthcare providers together to share ideas and to help educate the public that good health can be obtained without the use of drugs. It is this Association's doctrine that "you cannot be drugged into good health." Our worldwide membership of practitioners unite to encourage improved public awareness of the benefits of drugless health care.

Your professional affiliation with AADP can provide free patient referrals, a nationally published membership listing, and an impressive 8 1/2" x 11" AADP Certificate of Membership. The Association will provide public access to our 800 number published nationally. Your name, along with our other qualified members, will be made available to the general public - allowing potential patient referral of "drugless" health care providers. The AADP will call or write to state licensing boards to inform them of a practitioner's qualifications, if requested. Internet web page design and hosting available at no cost to our members. Licensed laboratories offering non-invasive patient testing will be made available to member practitioners. These laboratory tests can bring hundreds of dollars into your practice each month. Also, consultations on how to start a practice or increase an existing one can be provided.

Many practitioners place announcement of their certification in advertisements, on business cards, and when they do public speaking. In general, people prefer to visit practitioners that have met the requirements of a professional organization.

So as a qualified health professional, please take the time to complete the attached application and mail it along with your nominal fee to AADP Commission on Certification. Upon your acceptance by the board, a numbered certificate will be issued in your name with all the applicable rights, privileges and responsibilities. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail or call me at 1-888-764-AADP.

Sincerely,


Donald A. Rosenthal, M.D., N.D.
Executive Director
