What Changed This Time?

Her original B.Sc. from Hawaii Oriental Medical College is now a B.Sc. in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine from Oriental Medical Institute of Hawaii. Unfortunately, Oriental Medical Institute of Hawaii does not exist. The closest sounding name is The Institute of Clinical Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, which do not offer a B.Sc. in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine, but a Master’s of Science in Oriental Medicine.

Jessie's St. Andrew College Doctorate Degree in Natural Medicine ( USA ) has now become Doctorate Degree in Complementary Medicine (St. Andrew's College).

The University of Health Science (Hawaii) does not exists, so I cannot verify her M.Sc. in Psychology (was this just earned?), but she now has a Lectureship in Psychology with an arts college. What happened to her Professorship? Trading down from a US medical school to a local arts college? So many questions, so little answers.

She also now is the proud owner of a B.Sc. in Nutrition (was this just earned?) from The American Holistic College of Nutrition which is also Clayton College of Natural Health (CCNH), and is another one of those dubious diploma mills: http://www.quackwatch.org/04ConsumerEducation/Nonrecorg/clayton.html, which most notably stated, "CCNH does have one potentially valuable aspect. Its credentials are a reliable sign of someone not to consult for advice."

There was one "doctor" who obtained a "Doctor of Naturopathy" on January 25, 1988, and then her "B.S., M.S., and Ph.D." within 14 months, on March 28, 1989. My only disappointment with CCNH is how long it took to mail this good doctor her 3 degrees!!! Other diploma mills can shipped the degrees faster. I would not be buying my degrees from CCNH, with such sloppy services.

Her Certificate of Cancer and Internal Medicine from Beijing China Medical Institute is now a Certificate from the Internal and Cancer Department (Guang An Men Hospital, The China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine).

If I have all these credentials and actually earned them, I would remember all the fine details (like if my program was an undergraduate or a graduate degree). Why, oh why, is our good doctor so sloppy with her academic records? Or is she buying them so quickly she can't keep up??

I will do a complete analysis of each and every school she has listed that I can track down with either their URLs or if I have an actual mailing address. Ditto with the lesser credentials (i.e. certificates, which I am sure most are quite credible since they are easily obtained - particularly with her abilities).

Hawaii University of Health Science (M.Sc Psychology) USA?

a psychology graduate who has been trying to get into USA school of psychology myself, I know the process of admission into an MSC PSYCHOLOGY in any creditted USA schools when you do not have psychology background at Bachelor's level, is tough. this is because most psychology postgrad schools require some sufficient background in the field at bachelor's level, which is a requirement for registration with professional psych bodies..

For example, in 2002, the Ontario Liberal Government has placed itself in an
intriguing situation regarding auto insurance for veterans.
Remember you already had a preexisting condition.
Required information is derived from the MVR and serves to match policies for
insurance with local agents and underwriters," which sounded like what I was paying! That applies every 6 months. Whether you are switching to another insurer or renewing your policy, and, more precisely, your Auto Insurance For Veterans should pay for your premiums.

Unsecured consolidate credit card UK gives smaller
amount for shorter repayment duration. This will lower monthly payments, and the pressure of your debtsspiraling out of control?
There is the possibility to extend on this repayment period if you choose unsecured consolidate credit card.
It means you are going to be negatively affected. Many people find these
offers too good to be real, maybe you have dropped into a scam.
But the high interest rates at that time.
