History
We have been labeled as the pioneers and missionaries of natural health and healing in the Philippines. PINS is staffed by dedicated individuals who believe that nature has all that is needed to achieve perfect health. Medical doctors, Naturopaths, Natural Health Practitioners, Nutritionists, Nurses, Iridologists, Sclerologists and even lay people who are interested to share their knowledge and beliefs on a natural lifestyle have made this company their home.
PINS is the teaching arm of Organix Neutriceuticals International Inc. which was incorporated in February 1982. From that date onward, the company has been focused on its mission to bring to the Philippines and all its 7002 islands the truth about alternative and natural health and healing and how to achieve perfect health.
Various natural alternative modalities were introduced in the country by Organix/PINS like Colonic hydrotherapy, Iridollogy, Natural Nutrition Counseling, Aromatherapy, Core Energy, Sclerology, Kinesiology, Chelation, and Complete Gentle and Total Detoxification through the removal of mucoid plague, Quantum Healing thru the Q2 Energy Spa, Parasite Zapping, Metabolic Typing to find your perfect diet, Far Infrared Ray Therapy, Live cell Therapy among others.
Organix/PINS have been the venue of many seminars and lectures on alternative therapies. Organix was the first to venture in setting up complete wholistic center with a real gourmet restaurant serving only healthy meals cooked with all the goodness of natural and organically grown ingredients as early as 1990. This was called the “Organix Center for Effective Living” and was housed in a four story building in Jupiter Street, Makati City. Aside from the “Healthy Gourmet “restaurant, the center had a medical and dental clinic, a gym, colonic hydrotherapy, and a naturopathic center where natural methods of healing were espoused.
Present
When experts in the field of natural healing arts decide to finally share and document the many truths they have mastered all the past years in their practice, PINS expanded the courses offered to comply with the standards set by the Department of Health (DOH) and the Philippine Institute for Traditional Alternative Health Care (PITAHC) for the certification of Naturopath Practitioners. The complete curriculum for the degrees offered were studied to ensure that the graduates will be fully informed of not only the international methods of natural healing but emphasis is given to the local traditional methods used in the country.
The Philippine Institute of Naturopathic Sciences (PINS) is the new name of the school that started teaching Iridollogy 36 years ago. It was then named the Iridology Foundation of the Philippines (IFP) and it was the pioneer in the natural health revolution of the early eighties. It opened the eyes of many of our countrymen to the wonderful miracles that nature cure can bring using the eye as the focal point for analyzing the different body conditions. Many of the thousands of students of IFP developed to be responsible natural health practitioners and are now known as the leaders of alternative health care.
Many realize that the “eyes are the windows of the soul” and we have proven that it is also the “window of the body” and with Iridology as its main foundation we have grown and expanded the courses of the institute to develop Natural Health Coach or NHC’s and Certified Naturopath Practitioners or CNP’s and the ND degree.
Part of our Mission is to seek and teach each student how to be truly healthy and to make them instruments to teach others to be healthy too. They have to “walk their talk”.
The basic and first certificate course offered by IFP then was “Iridollogy and its Correlation to Nutrition.” Over 15,000 students have now graduated from this basic course and majority have enhanced their education by adding the other courses given by PINS like Homeopathy, Acupuncture, Nutritional Medicine, Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Emotional Healing, Integrative Sclerology, Anatomy and Physiology and Healthy Cooking among others.
And so from our base course of Comprehensive Iridollogy, which now follows the international curriculum of the International Iridology Practitioners Association (IIPA) to enable all graduates to qualify and take the examination for international certification, we have added the courses to get the basic certificate course called CNP or Certified Naturopath Practitioner which is approved by the Department of Health through the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care or PITAHC.
PINS is the very first institution that was given the authority to give certification for CNP and CMN by the DOH and PITAHC.
