    Health/wellness - where to start?

    My DS is 8.5 months and is currently having chemo for cancer. We've been told his cancer is a gene mutation, meaning he is at higher risk of further cancers in his future. Because of this, we obviously want him to lead as healthy a life as possible in all ways. I would like to study health/nutrition/general wellness but I have no idea where to start! Not sure whether to go the path of naturopathy or nutrition etc. any ideas? I don't necessarily need a career out of it as its really for my own knowledge so maybe a series of short courses would be an idea to get started?

    I can't help, but I couldn't see what you're going through and not post.

    Thoughts and prayers for you and your family, and particularly for your precious son.

    I'm so sorry you're going through this. I do applaud your determination to help your DS.


    you could try a course search on Open Universities Australia. Or some of the natural medicine schools...

    I can't remember what state you're in but have you looked at TAFE online or your local community college?
