PS asked:


Just curious if there is any firm proof that alternative medicine practices actually work. I need *hard evidence*, preferably documented studies by a reputable organization. Anecdotal evidence and user opinion such as “I felt better” or “the Chinese have practiced for thousands of years” does not qualify as proof.

I went to an alternative medicine store yesterday and a lot of the products claimed that it “detoxifies” the body. What exactly does it remove? What toxins are they talking about?

Cindy asked:


i want to pursue a career in alternative medicine such as the use of herbs and oils but i do not know what kind of post high school education is needed. What type of major do you have to have in college to pursue a career in alternative medicine, or what kind of education is needed.

I’ve been told the test involves an injection which raises your heart rate.
My doctor said I cannot take my anxiety medication prior. I don’t know if I can handle it; just thinking about sets me into a panic. How can I best prepare if I can talk myself into it????
