These statistics prove that you CAN make a GREAT living in Alternative Health!
According to the American Medical Association, 52% of people who seek orthodox medical care end up worse after treatment
In the year 2000, 375,000 people died in the USA due to orthodox medical treatment. By 2006 that number had more than doubled to 783,000 annual deaths in the USA due to iatrogenic causes--that means orthodox medical treatment. This includes misdiagnosis, medical tests, invasive diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, error, and exposure to pathogens in hospitals.
The natural health and wellness industry is the fastest growing economic sector in North America. It has doubled each year over the past ten years, from 10 billion dollars in 1996 to 460 billion dollars annually in the USA, and 80 billion dollars annually in Canada
Ten years ago 4.3% of the population was interested in Alternative Health. Today, 86% of the population has tried some form of natural or Alternative Health therapy or product, and 1/3 of the population now uses Alternative therapies
Every year more than 1 million people in the USA seek advice from an Alternative Health Professional. There are more annual visits to Alternative Health practitioners than to primary care physicians
Statistics show healthy workers are far more productive, less likely to call in sick, and save companies lots of money. Studies have found that companies get a return of $2.05-$6.15 for every dollar invested in health promotion activities.
Employer-sponsored activities include yoga and fitness classes, addiction and smoking cessation programs, seated massage treatments
The #1 reason people try Alternative Health is because orthodox medical treatment did not work.
The #1 reason people stay with Alternative Health protocols is because they got favourable results!
The internet has become the most popular way for people to learn about their natural health and wellness options. On the internet people can explore a wider range of information and options, learn about their health issues, compare services, locate what they need and contact a professional by email .... at any time of day or night without leaving their home

The #1 health complaint in North America is STRESS
75% of the population experiences recurring or on-going pain. Back and neck pain is the #1 reason for medical visits
80% of people who use Alternative Health services are women. They are 'cultural creatives,' which means they don't follow society's norms. They think and act independantly, and are often ahead of society's trends. They are often more creative, sensitive, spiritual and intuitive. They may be concerned with the environment and social issues
Aging baby boomers are also attracted to natural therapies because they want to look and feel younger and have more vitality

1/3 of all hospitals are operating in the red (at a loss)
The #1 reason people respond to advertisements is the desire to feel good
80% of people say they are not happy
On average, we see up to 30,000 advertising messages each day. Six years ago, that number was 6,000 messages per day.
Only a few years ago, if you saw an ad 3 times,you would take note of it and might respond. But, now your advertising message needs to be seen 8.4 times to generate a response. That means you need to spend a lot more money on advertising and be much more persistant to get the same results
Your average client tells 3-12 people about you. The better your customer service, the higher the referrals. 20-70% of these referrals will become your clients. That means your happy customers are worth much more to you than just their own purchases. In fact, 20% of your clients will generate 80% of your business
Statistics show that a higher percentage of women succeed in business compared to men. Women are more cautious and methodical
The practice of traditional medicine uses left brain dominance--logic, facts, reason. As a result, medical professionals lack compassion and nurturing qualities.
Holistic practitioners are generally right brain dominant--intuitive, empathic, compassionate, nurturing. As a result, they lack business sense. To be truly successful as health professionals, holistic practitioners must have both brain hemispheres balanced--logical business sense combined with intuitive, compassionate healing skills
The majority of alternative health certification courses do not include business training. That leaves practitioners at a disadvantage, since the majority of Alternative Health professionals will be self-employed.
