| U.S. Military Personnel Use Alternative Medicine Just Like Everyone Else | | 2008-03-30 20:36:00 | | A post I did a while back showed the Air Force seeking natural sleep aids because of the side effects prescription sleeping drugs caused. Here's the post if you missed it. A study published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine now says members of the U.S. military use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) at approximately the same rate and in the same demographic patterns as the wider U.S. population.Researchers surveyed 5,000 enrolled members of the U.S. Navy or Marines, and received 1,305 usable responses. Among those who responded, 37 percent had used at least one form of CAM therapy in the previous year. Women were more than twice as likely to use CAM therapies than men, while officers were 50 percent more likely than enlisted troops to use them. Those with higher levels of physical pain and/or dissatisfaction with conventional medical care were significantly more likely to seek CAM.These patterns are similar to those found for the wider U.S. population | | By: Whole Food And More | | |
| | Career In Alternative medicine | | 2008-03-19 22:35:00 | | Until recently, traditional medical systems were considered obscure, esoteric and shrouded in mysticism. But now the healing methods of the East are not only gaining acceptance not just as an alternative line of treatment, but are also being integrated into mainstream healthcare as complementary systems. AyurvedaAyurveda, literally meaning the science of life, aims at healing the individual as a whole, instead of merely at the molecular level. This ancient healing system is based on the theory that everything is composed of panchamahabhutas, or the five basic elements (akaash, jal, vayu, agni, dharti). The main source of our knowledge of Ayurveda is the Atharva Veda, which dates back to around 1200 BC. SiddhaThe basic principles and doctrines of Siddha are similar to those of Ayurveda. The human body is considered a conglomeration of three humors, seven body tissues and waste products.

| | Fighting Mesothelioma Cancer With Alternative Medicine | | 2008-01-10 16:06:00 | | Research in alternative medicine and conventional therapies to treat Mesothelioma cancer continues to be on the forefront to try and find a cure for this disease. Until an alternative is discovered and shows promise, conventional drugs and therapies such as Alimta and other chemotherapy drugs, surgery to remove tumors, and radiation therapy will be used to slow the cancer growth. In addition to conventional treatments, a number of therapies from alternative medicine may be able to reduce symptoms of mesothelioma. Called complementary and alternative medicine, or CAM, this diverse group of medical and health care options and practices aren't considered to be a part of mainstream medical practice. However, that doesn't mean that they're ineffective. Some health care providers practice both CAM and conventional medicine, and combine the two with good results. This is referred to as integrative medicine. As much as thirty-six percent of America's adult population are using some form of CAM. This rises to more than sixty percent if prayer and megavitamin therapy are included in the definition of alternative and complementary practices. Rates of alternative therapy use are highest among patients with serious illnesses such as mesothelioma cancer. Some treatments offered by alternative medicine include acupuncture to relieve pain following surgery for tumor removal, ginger to treat the nausea and vomiting that chemotherapy causes, massage to treat pain from all kinds of cancers, and combining mistletoe extract with chemotherapy to treat tumors. Immunotherapy, also called biological therapy, is also becoming more common. In this therapy, substances called biological response modifiers are used to improve the immune system's ability to recognize and destroy cancer cells, as well as to fight off other diseases. Photodynamic therapy uses a drug that sensitizes tissues to light, then destroys cancerous cells by exposing them to a laser set to a specific frequency. Gene the | | By: How to Detect Cancer | | |

| | Alternative Medicine in Danger! | | 2007-04-16 15:49:00 | | Speak Up For Health Freedomby Owen WatersYou wouldn't think it could happen in the USA."The land of the brave and the free" is about to become a lotless free unless enough of the brave stand up and voice theiropinions by April 30th.The Food and Drug Administration plans to pass laws to"protect" you from alternative health care, complementarymedicine and natural supplements.If the FDA passes these proposed laws, you will no longer beable to buy vitamins, visit a chiropractor, acupuncturist ormassage therapist... UNLESS you first obtain permission from amedical doctor.Now, I don't know how much your M.D. knows about naturalhealth care. Most of the doctors that I've met so far knownothing beyond how to select the most capable, poisonous drugto SUPPRESS the symptoms of illness. I have yet to hear onetalk about actually CURING an illness.If this legislation passes, you will no longer be free to makeyour own natural health care choices. The medical doctor fromwhom you will HAVE to seek permission will have no knowledgewhatsoever of the many natural therapies which actually help toCURE illnesses.Make no mistake about it. While medicine has made greatstrides in the last few decades, we are still very much in theMEDICAL DARK AGES.Alternative and complementary medicine IS the future. It isfrom these fields that the miracle cures of tomorrow willemerge... unless these emerging alternatives are squashed andyou are left in the tender care of the poisonous drug industryand their Medical Doctor sales force.In fact, this thinly-disguised ploy for power over your bodysounds more like the brainchild of a greedy drug industryrather than the public servants whose duty it is to protectyou. With this legislation, they plan to protect you sovigorously that, should you try to work around it, you willface fines and prison.Time is running out. The period for public comments on thisproposal ends on April 30, 2007.The Health Freedom USA organization has made the publiccomments process easy | | By: Pirate Papa | | |
