Introduction

COURSE OVERVIEW: Welcome to Natural Health Care Protocols II NHC-650, a 5 semester-hour course. The human body consists of 10 body systems. This course will address the following systems: Genito-Urinary System; Reproductive System; Male And Female Disorders; Sexually-Transmitted Diseases; Brain And Nervous System; Mental And Emotional Disorders.

The Genito-Urinary System and Reproductive System involve the male and female organs of the genitalia, urinary tract and reproductive system. Male organs include the penis, testicles, scrotum and prostate. Female organs include the vagina, labia, clitoris, ovaries, cervix, uterus and fallopian tubes. Organs of both genders include the urinary bladder, ureters, urethra and kidneys. Common disorders of the Genito-Urinary and Reproductive System include bladder incontinence, kidney stones, endometriosis and uterine fibroid tumors. Common Sexually-Transmitted Diseases include gonorrhea, syphilis, trichomonas, chlamydia, AIDS, genital herpes, genital warts, genital candida, pelvic inflammatory disease and pubic lice.

The Brain and Nervous System involves physical, mental and emotional disorders. The brain is a large soft mass of nerve tissue and nerve cells contained within the cranium. The nervous system is made up of the brain, cranial nerves and spinal cord. It involves extremely delicate nerve cells, elaborately interlaced with each other. The brain and nervous system are the primary centers for regulating and coordinating all body activities. They are the seat of consciousness, thought, memory, reason, judgment and emotion. They receives sensory impulses [eyesight, hearing, tasting, feeling, smelling], which are the basis for perception; and motor impulses, which are the basis for movement and reflexes [breathing and heartbeat]. When the brain and nervous systems are affected, all manner of feeling, thinking, talking, sensation and movement are affected. Common disorders of the Brain and Nervous System include Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, attention deficit, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
