Enjoyed reading your response to Bill, Virgo. Always interesting to learn more about people and their talents and impressed by your training in Tai Chi and the yang arts.
It continues to mystify me that with all the advances of "modern medicine" our country has been so reluctant to implement more alternative medical practices into mainstream treatments. Chinese acupuncture brought the relief I desperately sought after a spine injury. Occasional articles about the success of using hypnosis in some types of surgeries do not gain momentum. I just don't understand the U.S. reluctance to use more alternative methods that can be of benefit. Some wheels have been turning effectively for thousands of years and yet many still believe we have to reinvent new ones every generation...just bewildering to me.

@fiesty76 It’s all about the money , fiesty. I truly believe that. It’s a marriage between doctors and pharmaceuticals. This is what most doctors learn in medical school.. But, I think many are starting to see the “down” side always depending strictly on medications and not investigating all avenues. I still believe in conventional medicine, but we are seeing some negatives around overuse of. medications, questionable surgeries, etc. Don’t throw it out, but bring in the alternatives as supplemental ways of healing or managing your disease/condition. My Mom used acupuncture on her knees due to ligament damage from ballet. It helped her. It’s not one or the other, but a compliment to each other.
