re alternative medicine
 
|
Speaking in defense of some alternatives, and as a Chinese/Ayurvedic Medicinal Herbalist, I so far in my practice am finding it to be highly useful as a medical alternative for everything from congestion to insomnia, tremors, memory loss, bowel problems, diabetic problems, fatigue, arthritis, nerve issues. I have yet to have a client with seizures, but it is supposed to help many cases of that nature. The research and validation on both Chinese and Ayurvedic Medicine goes back millenium, with many cases. But I, being somewhat skeptical, continue to be surprised by how useful it is as I practice it with clients. I urge you all to try a local Chinese/Ayurvedic Medicinal Herbalist. You may find it surprising. Peggy M. Miller

Are there any sources for data that you recommend? Keep in mind that I'm used to biological data. I don't think my mind is closed to other types of data. But I would expect something like blind experiments and statistically significant populations. Etc. Feel free to tell me to RTFM. 8^) I just figured you might be able to suggest a few sources off the top of your head. peggy miller wrote at 04/25/2012 09:26 AM: > Speaking in defense of some alternatives, and as a Chinese/Ayurvedic > Medicinal Herbalist, I so far in my practice am finding it to be highly > useful as a medical alternative for everything from congestion to insomnia, > tremors, memory loss, bowel problems, diabetic problems, fatigue, > arthritis, nerve issues.

Dear Glen
Insofar as Ayurvedic medicines go, these would be good starting points. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1297513/ http://www.ccimindia.org/ Informally, Ayurvedic ("herbal") medicine works for low level (common) ailments but perhaps not at the efficiency / success levels of allopathic systems. They are best viewed as complementary traditional treatments to allopathy with reduced/lower side effects (for example treatments of the common cough / cold) .

Perhaps this is of some use - http://avaxhome.ws/ebooks/Using_Alternative_Therapies_JaLow.html
Using Alternative Therapies: A Qualitative Analysis by Jacqueline Low (Repost) Publisher: Canadian Scholars Press (May 1, 2004) | ISBN: 1551302640 | Pages: 200 | PDF | 1.78 MB This book provides a distinctive sociological inquiry into the perspectives and social issues surrounding the use of alternative therapies. Dr. Low presents the experiences of twenty-one Canadians who use alternative approaches to health care. Her study foregrounds the lay perspective by using a symbolic interactionist approach, which emphasises individuals' own understanding of reality as a basis for their actions. Dr. Low analyses how and why the participants in the study came to use alternative therapies; the ideologies informing the models of health and healing they espouse; the impact these beliefs have on them, and the implications of their experiences for Canadian health care policy.
