Healing Touch is another holistic energy system that is similar in concept to Pranic Healing, but actually uses touch to heal.

The person giving the Healing Touch and the patient client work together towards improving health and healing for the patient.

Healing Touch uses a gentle touch to correct imbalances in the human electro-magnetic energy both inside and surrounding the body.

The pupose of Healing Touch is to bring back balance and harmony in the patient's electro magnetic energy system

There are many classes available in North America to learn Healing Touch Therapy. A typical beginners class will take about 3 x 8 hour days and cost maybe somewhere in the region of $300. Most of them will be aimed at registered nurses, but usually any healers are welcomed into the classes.

Pranic healing is about using the life force energy prana (also known as qi).

The idea is that to heal more of this energy is needed at the diseased site on a person.

Pranic healing is augmenting the flow of the life force energy in a person's bio- electomagnetic field, or aura.

Photography has shown that this electromagnetic field becomes disrupted before didease is manifested. If the pranic energy flows are wrong, disease results.

Everyone has chakra's (energy centres) in the palms of their hands, and pranic healing is using the energy from these to sense what is wrong in their own or other people's electro-magnetic energy and to clear the blockages and correct it.

Polarity Therapy may not quite be alternative medicine any more. Maybe it is almost mainstream now.

It is a therapy which includes energy-based bodywork, the food you eat, exercise and self-awareness.

The main thing that it does is try to correct blocked or unbalanced Human Energy Fields, which are electro-magnetic in nature and used in your mental, emotional and physical experiences.

Health is considered a reflection of how well the human energy field is performing, and Polarity Therapy tries to balance the electro-magnetic fields to maintain optimum health.

Physical therapy is about health improvement without the use of drugs or surgery.

Physical therapy helps you reach your best level of physical ability using movement.
You need to be involved in physical therapy so that you can learn how to look after your own injuries.

Physical therapy can help you get full movement back in your joints and muscles. You will likely be taught exercises that will improve your condition.

Physical therapy for you may also include exercising on specific machines that will help you to heal more quickly.

Active manuka honey from New Zealand from bees feeding on the Manuka bushes there has amazing properties in the healing of skin infections and stomach ulcers.

For skin infections it is put on a bandage which is applied to the wound.

For stomach ulcers it is taken orally.

The honey does need to be certified as 'active'. A UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) of 15 or more is considered ideal.

Many body systems naturally use electro-magnetic energy.

Western scientist studying acupunture points have found that those points are strategic condutors of electro-magnetic energy (known as 'qi' in the east).

When these points are stimulated the electro-magnetic signals travel at a much faster rate through your body.

Most probably one of the reasons that stimulating acupuncture points is so effective for pain relief is that this augmented flow of electro-magnetic energy improves your body's production of pain killing substances such as endorphins.

The theory behind this diet is that some foods need more calories to digest them that they contain.

The Negative Calorie diet supposedly works because some 'negative calorie' foods contain lots of vitamins and minerals which improve your enzyme production enough to break down not only calories in that food, but also other calories present in your digestive system. Here are some 'negative calorie' foods:
apple
cranberries
grapefruit
lemon
mango
orange
papaya
pineapple
raspberries
strawberries
tangerine
asparagus
beet
broccoli
cabbage
carrot
cauliflower
celeriac
celery
chicory
chile peppers
cucumber
dandelion
endive
garden cress
garlic
green beans
lamb's lettuce
lettuce
onion
radishes
spinach
turnip
zucchini

The idea is to eat as much of these foods as you like. Starvation makes your body save body fat. Hopefully these foods will increase your metabolism and your extra fat will burn itself off.

My personal take is to eat those foods raw. Then you get all their enzymes as well. Cooking kills all the enzymes naturally present in foods.
