Prescription: Belief Imagine the healing arts of the future reformulated around the idea of thoughts, driven by the power of feelings, as shapers of our reality. When a cardiac patient visits a doctor, the first prescription the doctor might offer might not he a drug but a precisely formulated sequence of thoughts and feelings designed to affect the genetic predisposition of people at risk for heart disease.

The Tai Sophia Institute is an accredited and highly respected graduate school for acupuncture and other healing arts located between Baltimore and Washington. It has been innovative in the use of acupuncture as an adjunct to addiction treatment programs, having created the Penn North Neighborhood Center as a community-based wellness center for those "seeking to recover their lives by understanding their relationships with substances." The Penn North center provides ongoing access to the wellness program, including a six-month outpatient substance abuse program and is well worth checking out.

Many certified aromatherapists practice the same healing arts that Gattefoss and Valnet first used, and the availability of many books on the subject allows people to try it for themselves at home. Aromatherapy Basics The term essential oil is misleading. Essential oils are not oily or greasy; they evaporate readily, leaving no residue. As they evaporate, their aromatic molecules permeate the air. When we inhale the aroma, these molecules travel into the nose and to the olfactory receptors where our sense of smell originates.

Recently, in The Psychobiology of Gene Expression: Neuroscience and Neurogenesis in Hypnosis and the healing arts, Ernest Rossi, Ph.D., developed a conceptual framework for activities that not only reduce stress but also promote the growth of new and healthy brain cells and synapses between neurons. The underlying idea is this: if stress can lead to deleterious changes in brain cells, such as the inhibition of neurogenesis, positive and life-enriching activities should foster the growth of new brain cells and new connections between brain cells.

Medicine vs. healing, war vs. peace and male vs. female thinking (opinion) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Women in the healing arts, on the other hand, look at the whole patient. They talk about "supporting" the patient's own natural healing systems and creating a "healing" effect. They consider the multiple layers of the patient -- the physical, chemical, emotional and energetic -- and take time to listen to the patient's beliefs and concerns. To them, the patient is more than just a number, and their array of potential treatments may span several modalities, including herbs, therapeutic touch, homeopathy, acupuncture or nutritional therapies.

Alternative medicine is often practiced with the limited mindset of conventional medicine Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

In fact, virtually all the healing arts -- acupuncture, Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, Ayurvedic herbs, etc. -- have all been "dumbed down" as they were introduced to western cultures. The teaching of alternative medical therapies in this country is far too technical, and it lacks any real art. Some people are taught that acupuncture is basically a system of points that correspond to certain symptoms: put a needle on the P6 for this problem, or Liver 3 for that problem, and so on. And that's all hogwash.

Ethics: the all-important lesson that's rarely taught in medical schools or public schools Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

But there is a balance that can be achieved, and I think this balance is being achieved right now by those in naturopathic medicine and the healing arts like therapeutic touch. Yet this balance is not at all achieved by conventional medicine, because ethics and compassionate are simply not part of the curriculum. I ask, how can a medical system that has no recognition of the humanity of patients expect to find success treating those patients? It can't. And that's why modern (western) medicine has failed.

Rochester, NY: healing arts Press, 1987:57-65. ® TREATING ANXIETY WITH VITAMIN B-3 (NIACINAMIDE) Niacin and niacinamide are both commonly referred to as vitamin B-3. The biochemistry of vitamin B-3 is well known in that it is involved in 200 enzymatic reactions, mostly involving dehydrogenases within the human body. Its active forms or its coenzymes are both nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). Vitamin B-3 can be absorbed directly from the stomach, but most of its absorption occurs within the small intestine.

Leek has the extraordinary power of garlic, yet is mild enough to be taken by nursing and expectant mothers; good for kidney ailments; has bromotherapeutic properties (the use of edible foods in the healing arts); a diuretic for nephritic colic, cystitis, and rheumatic arthritis; eliminates arthritic ketosis/toxins in the blood by oxidizing them, alkalizes the blood. Roasted bulbs bring abscesses to a head, for corns, callouses (in vinegar), warts; hardened flesh, liver, and uterus; cancers; tumors ofthe lungs and joints.

Using 4 to 14% of our Brain power, it is obvious the healing arts in general, and Nutrition in particular, are of great importance to cleansing and energizing the earth and her cosmic children in a rational cultural way, amid what we find around us - a very sick, deformed, irrationally motivated and manipulated world. This may be due to defaults in history, maldevelopment of the organs of enlightenment, with consequential lack of understanding of the Unified Code of Creation. Nutrition aligned with the Unified Code has the possibility to re-establish a truly higher vibration standard.

In the last forty years, chiropractic has made great inroads in the healing arts. In 1990, chiropractors won a lengthy court battle against the medical monopoly when the American Medical Association was found guilty of illegal attempts to destroy the profession. Since then, chiropractic has spread its sphere of influence—it is even accepted in some hospitals. And despite electrotherapy's checkered past, neuroscientists are conducting exciting new research in the area of vibrational energy therapies.

Environmental Criteria Understanding that ecological relationships have a bearing on the healing arts can lead to some important broad implications. While the choice of the most relevant therapy should be based on the needs of the individual, Donne's insight that "no man is an island" becomes crucial here. In a world where human impact on the environment is becoming life threatening, the broader implications of health practices must be taken into account. Consider the Brazilian plant suma (Pfaffia paniculata). In recent years, it has become popular as an immune system stimulant.
