Re: PBS Special - Discoveries in Alternative Medicine

Thanks for the info, Bazel.  I, too, have appreciation for the wellness approach to overall health with respect to alternative, holistic, spiritual, etc. treatments.  My mom has Parkinson's Dis., and she would be excited to watch these specials, as well.  We aren't a huge 'get a pill to fix the problem' type of family.  Too many, often unnecessary, chemicals in the body doesn't seem 'natural'.  (Mind you, we do use medication as needed, insulin for diabetes, etc.)  side note:  My brother in law successfully manages his diabetes through diet and exercise, meditation without need for meds for over 20 years. 

Anyway, thanks for the info.  I absolutely will look for this special on PBS.

I'm going to a meeting about acupuncture tonight.  I'll let you know what they say.
