Food Enzyme Institute: Digestive Health Professional Program

The Digestive Health Professional series of seminars teaches a system of techniques to determine the hidden causes of patient symptoms, particularly in unresolved health problems. The material taught is the work of Dr. Howard F. Loomis, Jr. Backed by many years of clinical experience, he has brought the theoretical food enzyme work of Edward Howell, MD, into the treatment room. Successful completion of this series of seminars confers upon the health care practitioner a certificate of completion as a Digestive Health Professional. One must complete all four sessions to earn the certificate of completion.
