"It's a fun, easy way to boost your lymph system, and alternative health practitioners have (quietly) suggested this remedy for years. So consider hitting a trampoline for a few minutes each day (if that's handy) or dusting off the old jump rope. Your sinuses may appreciate the bounce. • A Sniffles-Digestion Link? Next time a bout of hay fever strikes, increase your fiber intake instead of automatically reaching for the antihistamines. Chinese medicine practitioners note that many hay fever sufferers have a tendency toward constipation or irregular bowel movements." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Conventional allergists use skin prick tests and/or blood testing. alternative health professionals may use blood tests, electrodermal screening (EDS) and applied kinesiology. Skin prick testing is considered by some to be less effective for foods than for environmental sensitivities such as pollens, dust and moulds. It seems to work better for those who have a strong history of food allergy. According to Dr. Julian Kenyon, the skin prick test is only 40% to 60% accurate. He claims the EDS testing is 70% accurate in the hands of a skilled practitioner." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) "It is best to work with both your medical doctor and an alternative health professional. Patients who do this fare much better than those who just seek just one type of treatment. CHAPTER FIVE GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS A-Z Acid Reflux/Heartburn According to the National Institute of Health, 25 million U.S. citizens suffer from heartburn every day. That is big business for the makers of Turns and Zantac. Almost a third of heartburn sufferers feel they will never again be able to enjoy the foods they love." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) "At your recommendation, he sees your alternative health practitioner who prescribes fish oil, acidophilus and biftdus, plus a herbal combination ofquercitin, tumeric and bromelain to be taken daily. After a few weeks, the stools became more solid and his bleeding stops. Like many of us who feel well, pushing the envelope too far can lead to ill health. You know that his condition is very sensitive to being worn down and poor eating habits. Fortunately, his digestion responded quickly because he had taken care of it before it got too bad." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) "These are illnesses characterized by the body's immune system marking a particular organ as the enemy and attacking it. Many alternative health practitioners believe that autoimmune diseases are related to an event(s) that happened before age seven, even in utero. Many types of autoimmune diseases exist, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, ulcerative colitis and multiple sclerosis. Despite the different symptoms, there is often a common thread in all of these disorders. The immune system becomes abnormally reactive to a particular organ in the body." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"It was stated that alternative health and Nazi socialism were two incompatible ideas. This suppression of alternative health continues to shackle the German people to this day. German people are subjected to the Bayer pharmaceutical version of health care—all drugs and no options. The German People The German people were brainwashed by the following: 1. They were under constant bombardment by the Hitler message in the media. 2. They were regularly lied to in the name of the "moral righteousness" of the Nazi cause. 3. They experienced the loss of numerous freedoms, including health freedom." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"There is an increasing awareness and acceptance of alternative health care by the society as a whole. In fact, the United States Congress has recently mandated the National Institutes of Health to begin a systematic investigation of alternative health care. CALLING FOOD DRUGS Regulatory bodies in the government, on the other hand, have recently tended to respond to lobbying from large institutions in their field. An instructive example has been the federal Food and Drug Administration." - Hari Sharma, Freedom from Disease: How to Control Free Radicals, a Major Cause of Aging and Disease (Get the book.)

"Fuller began an alternative health clinic and a line of enzyme products used exclusively by health professionals, Transformation Enzyme Corporation. Dr. Fuller was instrumental in my education and I have nothing but the greatest respect for her and the company she founded. Transformation continues to educate health care professionals on the benefits of enzymes and enzyme therapy. Her book, The Healing Power of Enzymes, describes common enzyme deficiencies, body typing, and practical dietary recommendations to support healing. MAX GERSON, MD In the 1930s and '40s, Dr." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"We don't often think about the shapes of our cells or organ systems and the anatomical structures that encase them, but according to NES theory, and a few other alternative health systems such as TCM, the body's cavities play an important role in health. Different objects make distinctive sounds because of the way they vibrate, but the sound of the vibration depends on the shape of the object and the material from which it is made. Think of a musical instrument, such as a guitar or trombone." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "The healing effects of music also are widely touted in the alternative health community, as are laughter and humor, deep breathing, chanting and toning (directed vocalization of sounds or mantras, such as Aum or Om mani padme hum), and many other techniques that involve sound and vibration. One way to explain these healing effects is through the movement of sound at the quantum level through the orbs—as traditional Chinese medicine would call the organs or resonant cavities—of the body." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "During their conversation, Harry asked Kenyon who he thought were the best researchers into alternative health care in the world. He named Peter Fraser among a few others, and on Harry's request, he provided Peter's contact information. A few months later, Harry actually wrote to Peter, an Australian, telling him of his interest in alternative therapies and asking about his work. Peter replied, sending Harry a paper on his bio-energetic theory. Although Harry did not understand much of Peter's theory, he posted the paper on his website." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"You are encouraged to do further reading or consult with alternative health practitioners who are able to provide detailed instruction on how to balance hormones. Feeding Your Body Provide your body with: Food that is full of life and nutrition—raw, organic, mostly alkaline. Water that is pure? to 10 glasses per day; that is, water that has been filtered to remove toxins, and energized to facilitate hydration and energy production. Fresh, clean air.

Some alternative health practitioners also believe fibromyalgia is often just Candida in the muscles.38 Once yeast has overgrown and infected other areas of the body, bowel toxemia and deficiency problems must be corrected." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"You decide to seek out a more natural route, alternative health care, because traditional medicine has been no help (to the contrary, it probably made you feel worse!). To your surprise, the alternative health-care provider identifies a problem right away. He may claim that you have "systemic yeast," "leaky gut syndrome," or "subclinical hypothyroidism" as the cause of your symptoms. Alternative practitioners typically do a hair or eye analysis, blood work, urine test, or muscle exam to determine exactly what you need." - Ray D. Strand, What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You (Get the book.)

"Take a combination nutritional/botanical PMS product (available at natural food stores or alternative health practitioners). It should include vitamin B6; magnesium; gamma linolenic acid from borage, evening primrose, or black currant oil; chaste tree (vitex); vitamin E; Saint John's wort; and possibly some traditional herbs for PMS, including dandelion leaf, dong quai, black cohosh, and wild yam. (See the Resources section for formulation sources.) • Take a multiple vitamin/mineral supplement, 1 to 6 capsules per day. • Take 1,000-1,200 mg of calcium per day." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"I know that it would probably be more widely accepted if I changed my terminology, as energy healing both in a traditional modality like acupuncture and in the newer versions like Barbara Brennan's "Hands of Light" have become quite commonplace in the alternative health world. I have searched not only my heart for the answer to this question but also scientific theories and ancient philosophies to gain an understanding of the differences and the similarities between spirit and energy. Energy in scientific terms refers to the ability of a physical system to do mechanical work." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Historically, I can see where virtually all alternative health care systems, all raw food movement programs included, offered in America today have been either directly or indirectly influenced, in either huge or small ways, by what Dr. Isaac Jennings started. To further appreciate the history of these two parallel tracks, we could go back further to the Egyptians and Greeks and Romans in ancient times and to the Nature Cure movement from post-Dark Ages Europe and around the globe to modem times." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"How a Juice Fast May Help hen back pain is caused by stress or tightened muscles, and not from bulging disks or bone disease, some naturopaths and other alternative health practitioners recommend to patients a (temporarily) lighter diet or a juice fast. Both back pain and tightness can be a result of congestion in the lower torso—from the intestines or other organs pressing outward upon the back." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Plus, scientists and visionaries on the leading edge of alternative health care will discuss how twenty-first-century medicine must address more than biochemistry, but also the bioenergetic and quantum aspects of health. 363 Glossary big body-field: See body-field. big body-wave: The systems-level quantum waveform for the entire body-field, in contrast with the countless signal waves from all the smaller, subsystem waves from the individual organs or different types of cells, and from the individual Energetic Drivers and Energetic Integrators and othet body-field subsystems." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"While many alternative health educators opt to use the terms treatment and therapy, Natural Hygiene alternativists are dead set against using these medical model terms. We want to free health seekers from the medical mentality altogether. Therefore, there are no treatments or therapies or pills or potions to take that will get you well. There is only the self-healing body receiving your natural healthful-living care to get you well. We want you to think outside the medicine bag of tricks and get into your own intelligent body as healer instead." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "It should be noted, however: as long as the alternative health care professional is telling the patient to do something or take something into his body that is unnatural to get well and stay well, the alternativist mindset is just a holdover from the medical mentality. Under the conventional medical mentality are four overriding schools of thought. Under the alternatives, if different diets to get well are included, are literally hundreds of schools of thought from Acupuncture to Zone therapy. We do not intend to cover all these alternatives." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Why would a medically trained physician turn to alternative health therapies? With so much money being offered to physicians to prescribe the latest drug via incentives and educational grants, why would any physician turn away and denounce using pharmaceutical modalities as the best solutions for their patient's conditions? The answers may surprise you! Let us start with a typical question: "What would you say is your greatest success in your professional life? Is there a specific success you can tell us about? " Dr." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"While many in the alternative health community have fought for recognition from the medical establishment, personally, I have been very wary of it. And now that tecognition has come, I believe we are about to pay the price. What specifically is the problem? The answer lies in one word: "co-option" (definition: to take over an independent minority movement through assimilation into an established group or culture). Standardization Almost everyone now believes that standardized extracts are a good thing. They answer the medical community's need for predictable doses and effects." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Vetrano, Susan and I speak of the "ten energy enhancers" or "health care based on natural, physiological laws of life" or "health by healthful living" from this point on, we are speaking of all alternative health care systems based on principles that are on the right track and that align with those of the systematic body of natural healing knowledge and health care known as Natural Hygiene. Crucial Alternative Terms Specific terminology and definitions are used by Natural Hygiene health educators and must be grasped by Natural Hygiene health seekers." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Although many in the alternative health community believe otherwise, I think the answer to both questions is no. There is no scam, no deliberate suppression. On the other hand, with $100,000,000,000.00 dollars being spent every year on cancer in the United States, cancer has become, quite simply, a major industry. And therein lies the problem. You now have vested interests competing for a piece of this monstrous pie. This leads to a series of major problems. • No one has an interest in preventing cancer, since that doesn't produce any money. All interest is in finding "a cure for cancer." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"But Laetrile was only one of many alternative health products. By the end of the 1970s, Americans were spending $1 billion a year on various supplements and potions that promised magical benefits.2 These included pangamic acid, which was touted as a previously undiscovered vitamin with virtually unlimited powers, various bee concoctions and other supplement products including garlic and zinc.2 At the same time in the scientific community, more and more health information, specifically nutrition information, was being generated at a furious pace." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M. Campbell II, The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health (Get the book.)

"As an old nurse, my back has taken me on a magical mystery tour of alternative health ... Hellerwork helped me the most, not just in simple symptom relief (though there is no finer bodywork system) but in the process of developing a relationship with my poor, abused and ignored body. Since completing the series ...I have enjoyed happy good health, and a two way communication with my lumbar spine, which in a friendly way reminds me when I need to pay it more attention." HERBAL BODY WRAP Herbal Body Wraps were created to shrink the size of the body, offering a slimmer body very quickly." - Alan E. Smith, UnBreak Your Health: The Complete Guide to Complementary & Alternative Therapies (Get the book.)

"Conducted armed raids on alternative medicine clinics, confiscating computers, threatening alternative health practitioners, and scaring away patients. Ordered the destruction of recipe books promoting stevia, a natural sweetener that competes with sales of aspartame (yes, the FDA actually ordered the books to be destroyed). Been caught red-handed accepting bribes. ** Voted to put deadly drugs right back on the market even after such drugs were recalled by their manufacturer. Openly opposed the banning of junk food advertising to children during World Health Organization meetings." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "Imagine a nation where half of all economic activity is focused on treatment for diseases that could be cured or prevented for mere pennies if the population had access to alternative health information or natural health solutions. That may be the future of America. Who's to blame? All the usual suspects: Big Pharma, the servile FDA, the money-controlled media, lawmakers, medical schools, and so on. Everyone thinks they're gaining money or power when in fact they are destroying the future of our nation. The Big Picture: Reform Now we're going to talk about solutions." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)
