Alternative Medicines/Healing?

Lucien Hellerman: 'zone therapy' by the late charles ersdahlsimilar to reflexology (trigger points on the feet) only it's more intense and thorough in it's total healing powers..any health issue or body 'dis-ease' can be treated, but it needs to become an addition to your lifestyle health care and not just a one time 'cure-all'....it's not widely accepted by the general public because it is a painful treament WHEN you have issues that need treating. otherwise it's just an intense foot massage!...i still swear during every treatment i'll never subject myself to this kind of torture but then i crave the next appt because i know i'll feel 100% better after wards! be tough!my hayfever allergies, residual hernia surgery pain, achey back and shoulders has all but disappeared with regular treatments...good luck on your research!...Show more

Edwina Fu: Yes it is nice to know that some highly qualified medical people don't just say alternative treatments do not work just bec! ause they have no idea what they are! There has to be a place in our societies for both alternative or complementary therapy and conventional medicine. Together they offer the patient the best of both worlds. As has been said therapists are able to give more time to patients than their GP and this alone is very therapeutic. I am a therapist myself in aromatherapy and massage but if I had cancer I would certainly consider surgery or chemotherapy as well as alternative treatments. Surely we are all trying to preserve and improve the quality of people's lives?...Show more

Imogene Neiswander: These are some pretty broad questions, but here goes. The main problems with health care in the United States are cost of care, the quality of care received, and the cost of health insurance coverage. If you're asking about how a particular health problem would be treated, that would depend on the health problem. I would use the many modalities that make up Traditional Chines! e Medicine. That means Acupuncture, Herbal medicine, Tui na, which is Chinese bodywork, Gua Sha, which is body scrapping, for example. This medicine is thousands of years old, and is used all over the world....Show more
