ADVANCING ACCEPTANCE
Gord Riddell will be the first to concede
that when he announced plans to create the
school 25 years ago, there wasn’t a lot of sup-
port. “Telling people that you’re going to
open a school that focuses on our subject
matter, the reactions were basically like, ‘You
really are crazy,’” he laughs.
It would be only a few short years later
that the World Health Organization pro-
duced a series of studies indicating that there
were from65 to80millionpeople around the
world who were relying on holistic medicine
therapies versus conventional healthcare.
