NHI is Nationally Accredited by the AADP

The American Association of Drugless Practitioners  Certification and Accreditation Board was established in 1990. The AADP is  dedicated to promoting an enhanced professional image and prestige among  practitioners of traditional and non-traditional therapies and methodologies.

The AADP’s national and international membership body of over 21,000 is made up of MDs, NDs, DCs, OMDs, PhDs, RNs, Health Coaches, and other “drugless” practitioners. The AADP does not cater only to one field  or practitioner, but unites all professional holistic health practitioners.  As other organizations’ benefits are limited to educational discounts, car  rental discounts and seminars, the AADP’s benefits can help promote you and  your practice.

Both traditional and non-traditional holistic schools  and colleges have suggested to their graduates to become board certified. The  AADP is recognized by many holistic schools and colleges.
