Alternative meds

[John81]

My dad says they are quacks too. I am skeptical of them but have gone before... they have helped my husband alot....so who really knows.

Our family "doctor" is a registered nurse practioner (or whatever her title is; she is just one notch away from being a doctor), she is also a solid member of our church. Anyway, according to her, chiropractors must be chosen with extreme care. She says those who really know their stuff are worthwhile but that many chiropractors out there don't truly know what they are doing or don't really have the skills necessary to do it properly. In this entire area, there is only one chiropractor she will refer anyone to.

...namely acupuncture...

If you had a friend who had lots of health problems and pain, and you knew they used acupuncture.... (as well as other natural remedies, as some here do, which that part is fine...)

Do you all think acupuncture is occultic? I never thought of it before but came across alot of information online tonight that seems to point to it being kind of a "gateway" occultic practice.

Anyone know any more about this? It does help my friend's pain so I'd be kind of hesistant to say anything, I haven't really actually known her for much more than a year.

I had acupuncture done .I was a freshman ,and I got my head turned and all of the sudden i had a horriable pain in my arm .I was in so much pain .I had gone to see a doctor who gave me pain pills .After a few days of this ,I had to have my mom come and get me.
She took me to a chiropracter and he did the acupuncture done and I was pain free.
I had a pinch nerve and it was so painful and then he did the treatment and I was pain free.
