| bill | posted 23-Sep-1998 9:27pm both of the ones I clicked worked, though in a limited sense. I wouldn't recommend that someone with a serious illness use one of the above treatments unless they are also seeing an AMA approved medical doctor as well. |
| zoomie | posted 23-Sep-1998 10:12pm Chiropractics helped me. The others on the list I wouldn't try. |

| lizzie | posted 24-Sep-1998 9:02am Massages always make me feel better. All my tension goes to my neck and shoulders and a massage greatly improves it. I'm not sure what the difference is between your standard massage and a therapeutic one. Maybe just the name. |

| Jody | posted 24-Sep-1998 11:33am I've used massage, visualization, exploration of why certain illnesses persist, and some sort of NLP (neurolinguistic programming). They all, without a doubt in my mind, helped.For ANYONE experiencing recurring skin problems, please read the book Skin Deep by Dr. Ted Grossbart. It really changed my life. And, as bill said, I would consider these adjuvant treatments, in addition to any medical treatment recommended by a trusted physician. |
| lisashea | posted 24-Sep-1998 11:43am Acupuncture only has one C at the beginning :) I've only tried biofeedback. I don't know enough about acupressure and homeopathy, but I believe the rest work. Here's a FAQ on Acupuncture. There was in fact an article a few days ago in the WSJ or somewhere on clinical studies done with MRI equipment on acupuncture. They stimulated the big toe - associated with the eye. It caused the same MRI results as when they "directly stimulated" the eye - i.e. flashed a series of lights at the person. People stimulated at other spots - fingers, elbows, etc. - didn't get the same reaction. It amazed the investigator, who was trying to disprove the whole acupuncture thing. I have a friend who did rolfing with his wife, and his body always felt better afterwards. He went in thinking it would feel worse, dragged by his wife the first time, so I doubt it was psychological. It's not like that's a pleasant experience :) EB: Oh! I was on line when you were entering the surveys, apparently. I put the comments in one, and then went back to edit them and it vanished. But then the second one appeared so I thought you'd had Bill change it. I didn't realize there were two. I'll go fix the other one. |
| Pigeon2 | posted 24-Sep-1998 12:36pm I have tried almost all of them and they do work with the exception of chiropractic therapy because you have to keep going back to them and they mess up your back. My sister is a Reiki (almost) master and that is a phenomenal thing! She does it on my animals too and they are really responsive to it. The best has to be massage therapy, ohh it makes you tingle! |
| Mimi | posted 24-Sep-1998 1:30pm I've never needed anything special, but I am very interested in all of them. I'm quite curious about hypnotherapy. |
| dpolicar | posted 24-Sep-1998 5:06pm None of these. Well, I got a professional massage once and it helped relieve muscle tension, but I suspect that's not what you have in mind. Just a thought, though -- why discount the placebo effect? If believing that something is therapeutic can result in a measurable improvement in my health or reduction in pain, why knock it? |
| Sybal | posted 10-Oct-1998 9:12pm Zone Therapy, the idea that all nerve endings are in your feet and massage of a small area on the foot can cure or help problems. Haven't explored it enough to know if it would work. Chiropractic only made things worse, I think so that I'd keep coming back. I have tried several herbal metabolism pills and they all seemed to boost it. |
