What are some alternative therapies I can learn
about that have proven to be effective for some
individuals?
Traditional Chinese Medicine One of the ol
dest complete systems of holistic health care
The philosophy of traditional Chinese medi
cine is preventive in nature and views the
practice of waiting to treat a disease until
the symptoms are full-blown as being
similar to digging a well after one has be
come thirsty.
Oxygen Therapies Utilized in Europe an
d Canada for many years but not approved
by FDA for the United States
All cells, tissues, and organs need oxyg
en to function. Oxygen therapies utilize
oxygen in various format to promote heali
ng and destroy disease-producing micro-
organisms and toxins in the body.
