Are you contemplating using an Alternative Therapy for your illness? 

If you are, make sure you "Get the Facts"!

 

"Decisions about your health care are important--including decisions about whether to use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) has developed this fact sheet to assist you in your decisionmaking about CAM. It includes frequently asked questions, issues to consider, and a list of sources for further information."

There are many types of alternative medicines, or therapies.

 

There are herbal remedies, body and mind therapies, such as Tai Chi and Yoga, or meditation.  Some people have tried acupuncture and chiropractric treatments.  Spirituality and positive thinking are another area of healing.

 

If you have tried any of these methods, please let us know what has helped, or what has not! yeah

 

Hugs and Best Wishes, Teri tongue   

Please remember to always ask your Dr. first before beginning any type of alternative therapy!
