Alternative Treatments

There are times when conventional medicine provides the answers you are looking for. You have a symptom(s), medical tests are done, you receive a diagnosis, and begin treatment. But there are increasing numbers of people who find themselves in a situation where conventional medicine does not provide answers, or the recommended  treatment creates other, sometimes even worse, symptoms and side-effects.

Treating physical and emotional health issues via alternative treatments is a rapidly growing segment of the health care industry.  As we become increasingly aware of the connection between the mind and body, as well as the relationship between diet, exercise, and stress reduction on our health and well-being, greater attention is being directed to alternative medicine and alternative healthcare options.

I know from personal experience that finding the right treatment for your condition can be a challenge.  I have tried many different type of alternative treatments and techniques through the years, and share with in this section all of those that provided measurable results.The articles are divided into two categories:

• Physician/Practitioner Assisted which are those treatments and techniques performed by a doctor or specially trained practitioner.
• Self Help Techniques which are lifestyle choices and techniques tyou can do yourself to improve the quality of your life. 
  Whether you are ill or healthy and trying to stay that way, it is important to  learn to relax and de-stress as this is a vital
  component to preventing disease, and in creating an environment in which the body can do its healing work.
