While I have been very pleased to see how >>nutrition is helping my body heal, I am also interested in _carefully_ >>exploring complementary therapies. I sincerely want to thank everyone who gave suggestions for alternative therapies. I'll give a brief update on what I have experienced in the last few weeks: TCM - I was unable to find anyone in the area specifically practicing TCM. Massage Therapy/Accupressure: I did find a wonderful place in town that specializes in this. For two weeks in a row, I have been seeing a lady who has been working my body over with massage and accupressure. At the present I am confused as to whether or not it will be beneficial. I can tell you this; I know that _somthing_ is going on, because I really feel different. Unfortunately, that different feeling is a feeling like all of the stored toxins have been released into my blood stream at once! I have been drinking water and eating eggs like crazy to help arrest some of this floating around in my body. I imagine that this is a _good_ thing, but nevertheless, I didn't know that massage therapy would force such a release of stored toxins. I'm going to continue my weekly sessions for the time being, and I'll let you all know if anything noteworthy happens. Once again, thanks for the very kind and helpful information that many of you shared. regards, -Ben "Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
