The American Association of Drugless Practitioners 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 AADP 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 AADP promotes an enhanced professional image and prestige among practitioners of traditional and nontraditional therapies and methodologies. We foster unity among "grass roots" practitioners and those with advanced academic credentials. The 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 and an impressive AADP Certificate of Membership. Your name will be made available to the general public - allowing potential patient referral. The AADP will call or write to state licensing boards to inform them of a practitioner's qualifications. Licensed laboratories offering non-invasive patient testing will be made available. These laboratory tests can bring hundreds of dollars into your practice each month.
