*I’m archiving all these, btw. Some days, I need all the help I can get.
My BG goes sky high when I’m stressed. The answer, of course, is to live
on a secluded mountain, with just wildlife to be my companions. And my
border collie, of course. And my cat. And my husband can visit during
the weekends when he’s not working. LOL

Elaine,

Learned it in Anchorage from a hypnotherapist, unfortunately, I never get past
pins and needles. (pout)

Don’t forget to include Anodyne Imagery.

Janie,

Don’t forget to include Anodyne Imagery. This is a simple technique for
relieving pain or stress. I use this technique especially when in the
Dental chair.
It is another aspect of NLP. I can actually anesthetize my hand, transfer
it to my other hand, and transfer it further to my mouth during dental work.
Takes much concentration and relaxation, but once learned is easy and
invaluable.

Annie, I believe as health care costs spiral out of control, people are
going to be looking for and utilizing "alternative" medicines,
especially those like energy medicine, NLP and EFT, which aren’t
invasive and don’t cost anything to use.

i have read that in some areas like china, when you go
into the hospital you are assigned 2 doctors. one
trained in eastern medicine, one trained in western
medicine. then they collaborate thier efforts in
devising a treatment plan using the best of both
worlds

believe me, i am not saying it doesn’t work. it does.
i have seen it. it is just hard to get my mind around.
and i have used homeopathy a lot, because it works
better for me than some traditional medicines in some
areas. what aggrivates me is people making blanket
statements that something can’t work, because they
can’t believe it does. well according to the laws of
physics, the bumble be can’t possibly fly, but i have
certainly seen them do it, and therefore believe they
can. but if you look at the physics and beleive that
the bumble bee is still gonna fly regardless of whta
you beleive. SOOOO….. if it works for someone, leave
it alone and let it work for them and stop trying to
put them down. none of us know everything no matter
how much we think we do.

Hi Annie,

Don’t know what happened to the carpal tunnel in your wrist either, I’m just
glad it worked! My D.O. (the one I returned to for good) has a philsophy that
if it is not actively harmful and it works, then he’s all for it! He is also a
chiropractor as well as a D.O. and is intrigued by Chinese herbs, acupuncture,
acupressure, etc. I’m glad he is so flexible and understands that Modern
Western Medicine has a limit on answers that can be filled in from other
cultures.
Cheers!
Marsha

i know what you mean marsha.
last year i had severe carpal tunnel in my left wrist.
i met a man who i had known thru another list. he was
passing thru town and we met up for a visit. he saw
the splint on my wrist and asked about it. i told him
what was going on. he put one hand on my shoulder, one
on my wrist and i don’ot know what he did, but it made
me so sick i nearly passed out right there in the
parking lot. but i haven’t had to wear the splint
since. he is known for his energy healing. it amazes
me but i struggle with my beliefs in it. lol. i was
trained not to, but it sure worked on me

"I don’t see any snake oil treatment here. The muscle testing Marsha
described sounds like a perfect candidate for a scientific test, if
only as a screening technique. In any case, during my years of
actually using my chemical degree, I don’t remember too many
substances that are so toxic that a small amount applied to the skin
would be harmful or toxic."

It is indeed something that begs validation, it has been attempted but has
failed in every case, see the "Applied Kinesiology, ie. muscle testing"
message just posted.

I was confusing, it was not that a small amount of the drug applied to the
skin was the danger, it was using this test to discount the severe physical
harm that can come from the drug in a very small number of people. Do the
test and with negative results take the drug because it has confirmed one

is not among those subject to the dangers; even in the face of one’s doctor
and pharmacist advice. There are proven tests that do provide this
information, snake oil testing does not.

Hi Annie,

My friend, the Harvard Trained Nurse Practitioner is also an acupuncurist that
other doctors refer to and a Chinese herbalist as well. She deals with the
energy fields of the body through needles, pressure, reiki and various other
techniques. The darndest thing is that either it work and works rather rapidly
or it is generally not gong to work at all. My daughter is difficult to treat
with acupuncture, for me it is probably my ideal form of medical care.

Andrew Weil is pioneering the mind/body/spirit connection and I hope that
someday the doctors will have a better feel for patient as human being with
symptom rather that the present "We have in this bed, an ucler dicubitis …"

It amazing how much accurace there is in what are called "Non traditional" care
- the thing being, this IS the care that is tradtional, whereas the western

medical care is actully the non-traditional form. We just forgot the order
things came in.
