For any of you I have worked on, if

ANYTHING that I did provided relief or benefit, even if only

temporary, PLEASE tell them that in your medical history

information. Give them as much detail as you can remember. They

have a very high interest in the potential benefits of alternatives,

particularly the energetic modalities. All of you can play an

extremely important role in trying to get this out, into the

mainstream, and accepted so it becomes more widely available for

everyone's benefit.

AMEN! Glad someone is interested in the alternatives for a change! Though I

haven't yet had the pleaseure of seeing Mike's work, I've had a variety of

experiences with positive alternative treatments! Yet like many, I'm almost

afraid to admit to a medical doc what's worked well, cause they generally guffaw

or tell me why there is NO basis in medical writings to prove the stuff works.

I'm happy to finally have a GP and an ortho doc that believe me and

encourage me to do everything possible to help myself. But it pains me when I

tell

what I've done and others insist they would NEVER try anything just cause their

doctors say NO. So many could be doing so much better if they weren't

completely relying on the advice of just an MD.

The NIH is about to be swamped with new study participants, thanks

to CEDA (good job, everybody). Nazli told me yesterday afternoon

that they are being innundated with emails and phone calls.

I already know from looking at the posts myself that a fair number

of those new participants are going to be people I have visited this

summer and have worked with/on.

I have a very big favor to ask. For any of you I have worked on, if

ANYTHING that I did provided relief or benefit, even if only

temporary, PLEASE tell them that in your medical history

information. Give them as much detail as you can remember. They

have a very high interest in the potential benefits of alternatives,
