Nauman seems a dyed-in-the-wool Nuager and esoteric. Besides selling ndn spirituality and claiming Cherokee descent, she is a homeopath and astrologer, i.e. she covers quite some range of pseudo-medicine and pseudo-science.
http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Nauman,_Eileen... born on 24 May 1946 at 11:08 ...
American humanist astrologer who taught astrology at Kent State University and writing at Akron University. She is the author of "American Book of Medical Astrology," 1982, as well as some 50 romance novels, under several different names, and writes for many publications.
She led a homeopathy group in Sedona entitled "Friends With Aya" in 1992. Since then, she has received her degree in homeopathy(DHM(UK),EMT-B) and her last two books have been about home treatments for plague and menopause. She also is the creator of the Matrix Health Writer Report for Matrix Software.
Well, so Kent State does have a somewhat bad name for everybody old enough to remember the end of the 1960ies, but I doubt whether a state-run university ever did offer a course in astrology. We may assume Nauman rather intends to polish her merits.
But -
home treatments for plague ? I beg yours?
Nauman also writes a blog titled „Health and Medical“, with the subtitles „Healthcare Products, Private Healthcare, Medical Healthcare, Private Medical Healthcare, Healthcare Cover, Private Medical Insurance, Private Health Insurance, Health Insurance, Health care, Medical Insurance“
http://medicalastrologybyeileennauman.blogspot.de/She also runs an „Astrology News Service“:
http://astrologynewsservice.com/tag/eileen-nauman/Here is another CV for Nauman:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/169264.Eileen_NaumanAbout this author
Eileen Nauman, D.H.M. (UK), EMT-B, a classically trained homeopath for over 30 years, was trained by the President of the British Institute of Homeopathy, a consultant to The Royal Family. In addition to being on the faculty of that institute, she is also on the core faculty of the Desert Institute of Classical Homeopathy in Phoenix, Arizona.
Moderator and owner of The Medicine Garden, an internet web site that includes alternative medicine and an active mailing list, she teaches beginning homeopathy to people who want to use this medicine to help themselves, their families, and their pets.
Eileen has lectured around the world on various topics, including alternative medicine techniques, clasical homeopathy, emergency medicine, and flower and gem essences, as well as other forms of energy medicine. She is the author of more than sixty books.
Please do have a look at the first quote: That text says, Nauman received her 'degree' in homeopathy
after 1992. 30 years? Not according to what my maths teacher told me.
Although her DOB of 1946 and several photos online showing an elderly person with grey hair, the photo on this site shows a much younger person:
http://www.lighttechnology.com/authors/waya-ai-gvhdi-eileen-naumanBorn in an Eastern Cherokee household, member of the Wolf Clan, with a father who was one-quarter blood, Ai Gvhdi Waya (Eileen Nauman) was trained, beginning at the age of nine, in the medicine path. She is the author of Soul Recovery and Extraction, the shamanic process she was taught since childhood.
It has to be noted that clan membership in the Cherokee nation is inherited from the maternal side. So whatever clan her father may or may not have belonged to, this does not make her a member of any clan.
Books mentioned on this site:
Path of the Mystic
Soul Recovery and Extraction
The New Age Primer
http://www.lighttechnology.com/authors/nauman-eileenThere is another author's CV under the name of „Nauman, Eileen“, showing the same photo as the one above, mentioning different books:
Homeopathy for epidemics
Medical Astrology
And now her CV:
Dr. Eileen Naumann, DHM, DIHom (UK) is a classically trained homeopath who has practiced for twenty-five years. She works at the Blue Heron Foundation Clinic in Chinle, Arizona, on the Navajo Reservation. A graduate of the British Institute of Homeopathy in London, she is also a member of their faculty. She is an Adjunct Professor of holistic medicine at the Union Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio, where she works with doctoral candidates interested in pursuing an alternative, or holistic, doctoral degrees. She lectures and gives workshops around the world on homeopathy, alternative medicine, medical astrology, and Native American healing techniques. She is responsible for creating four homeopathic study groups in Ohio and Arizona.
Same again, although she's getting somewhat more modest and only claims 25 years of practice.
Blue Heron Foundation Clinic, Chinle Arizona
Nothing re such a clinic to be found online except for sites mentioning Nauman....
There is a Blue Heron Foundation, however, doing fund raising for orphaned and abandoned children in Romania, situated in Beverly Hills and several other cities.
British Institute of Homeopathy, LondonThere also is a US-based „British Institute of Homeopathy“ which is a branch of the London institute. Searching the London Institute's site for Nauman brought no result, other than that they seem to use some of her books as teaching material.
Union Institute, Cincinnati OhioThere is a Union Institute & University, with a caption „Why Union“ which explains:
Union Institute & University is one of only 10 colleges and universities that form the Fraternal Order of Police University (FOPU).
No Nauman mentioned on the Faculty Staff site:
http://www.myunion.edu/about/faces-of-distinction/faculty/index.htmlSeems that the Cincinnati branch only offers a doctoral course in Psychology:
http://www.myunion.edu/academics/psyd/index.htmlUnion Institute & University’s Doctor of Psychology Program (Psy.D.) offers a concentration in clinical psychology, following a practitioner-scholar model. The program’s distributed learning model makes it accessible to working adults who need to balance career, family, and other responsibilities.
What I did
not see at this institute's website was any course in 'holistic' and/or 'alternative' medicine.
Searching for „Union Institute“ and „Eileen Nauman“, Google presents 95 results, most of which repeat information provided by Nauman herself, or taken from her books.
Desert Institute of Classical Homeopathy in Phoenix, Arizona
Seems google cannot find a site for this institute. However, I found another person claiming to be its director:
http://universitynaturalmedicine.org/college-natural-medicine/faculty/ Dr. Todd Rowe, MD, MD (H), CCH, DHT
Dr. Todd Rowe has practiced homeopathic medicine for 20 years. He earned his doctorate of Medicine at Rush Medical School, Chicago, Illinois, and completed his psychiatric training at the University of Vermont. He graduated from the Hahnemann College of Homeopathy in Albany, California, and is a licensed homeopathic physician in Arizona. Dr. Rowe teaches extensively and has written several books on classical homeopathic education including Homeopathic Methodology and the Homeopathic Journey. He is the past-president of the National Center for Homeopathy and serves on the Board of Directors for the Council for Homeopathic Education. He is the director of the Desert Institute of Classical Homeopathy, director of the Desert Institute School of Classical Homeopathy and director of the Society for the Establishment of Research in Classical Homeopathy.
So Nauman is not only selling ndn spirituality and pseudo-medicine, she brushes up her CVs with claims that do not quite hold water.
I recommend moving her to Frauds.
