this group as a forum, for people who have chosen not to
use
modern medicine in the treatment of their cancer. And I ask those of you who have beaten cancer using alternative treatment to share with others. Lets join together and beat this. Please try to post helpful websites, books on this topic only. I have a large amount of information on this subject and it may take some time to post. Check back often for updates by myself and others. I will be posting all information in the message section.
The information covered in this group is not intended to treat, diagnose or prescribe for any medical condition. If you have medical problem, please consult your physician or a holistic health provider.
This group is in the loving memory of my parents Janet & Robert Scalzi Who where both taken form this earth by cancer. If I had only known then what I know now. -

Alternative Medicine Egypt. "This group is for
anyone living inside Egypt or abroad who is interested in
traditional, alternative, holistic, and complementary
medicine as well as health and nutrition. In particular,
this group is here for people to share their information,
ideas, and experiences with alternative medicine, health,
and nutrition in Egypt and the Middle East in general.
There are many people scattered throughout Egypt and the Middle East, some who are experts and some who are amateurs, but as of yet, there haven't been any means for people interested in alternative medicine in this region to communicate and form a community. It is hoped that this forum will make the first step in joining together people and ideas.
If you are interested in at-tibb an-nabawwi (prophetic medicine), tibb unani (from South Asia), traditional herbal medicine of the Middle East, hijama (cupping), acupuncture, yoga, Ayurveda, aromatherapy, homeopathy, and all other kinds of alternative medicine, than this is the place for you.
Feel free to trade contacts for practitioners of alternative medicine in Egypt, the latest research and trends, and the best places to buy alternative medicine products in Egypt. We hope to compile a list of reputable `ataareen (herbalists), alternative and traditional medicine practitioners, and centers for learning about and healing by alternative medicine. Check out the files and database sections for more contacts and please add your own contacts to share with everyone in the group.
Practicioners of alternative medicine located in Egypt are free to advertise their services, but please, we don't want to see advertisements for unrelated services." -

Holistic-health. "As the name suggests, this
group is for a holistic in-depth and full-width look at
all aspects of health. It is not a substitute for
professional advice and health care, but is meant to be
educational and may help the individual and his/her
friends, relatives to understand the various risks,
options etc. much better and thus take a better informed
decision. Since the holistic aspects of health including
the preventive aspects, alternative practices,
non-medicinal energy-based systems for healing etc. are
discussed, this will be of interest to one and all.
I have had an abiding and enduring interest in health since my childhood. Though I wanted to become a doctor, I became a metallurgist with specialisation in Quality Assurance, Materials Testing, Statistics etc., but my interest in health matters continued. I studied HOMEOPATHY, TISSUE REMEDIES, BACH FLOWER REMEDIES, became a REIKI healer, a crystal healer and of late found that SPIRITUAL HEALING is the most powerful. In my own case, I depend upon my Master Sai's grace for healing myself or any one else.
Modern medicine has its rightful place too and especially the modern diagnostic procedures, the surgical intervention and reconstruction are definitely not to be ignored. However, when the medicinal aspects are required to be used, the gross side-effects of most of modern drugs force us to explore for better alternatives. Alternative systems like what I mentioned above come into the picture in such situations. Psychosomatic complaints (that means most of the disease conditions!) are better treated using non-medicinal Energy Systems like Acupuncture, Acupressure, REIKI etc., or with Systems like Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Tissue Remedies, Bach Flower Remedies etc." - HolisticNutritionandHealth. "Join us and participate in research & discussions about nutrition,healing foods, holistic nutrition,herbs, alternative health remedies, healthy recipes,and more ! This group focuses on a wide range of topics for the well being of all of our members. We look forward to visits from professionals in the alternative health care field, authors, etc."

Holistic Pregnancy. "Description
Holistic - (ho·lis·tic)

Welcome to Holistic Pregnancy. This list is dedicated to discussing nutrition, lifestyle, education, health care, informed consent and choice, fitness and many other topics that pertain to a healthy holistic approach to pregnancy, that is, treating pregnancy as a normal natural phisiological occurrance rather than disease or illness. This list is not so much about childbirth as it is about maintaining a healthy and natural attitude toward pregnancy, which will tend to naturally result in normal healthy births.
I am a midwife with a private practice in Virginia. I am also in the process of designing a Holistsic Pregnancy Program that will be offered in a group setting, so some of the topics of this list may pertain to the planning, writing and implication of this program." - Homeopathy-ADDthruAUTISM · Homeopathy for ASDs. "THERE IS HOPE FOR AUTISM! This group is hosted by the three sequential/integrative homeopaths/DAN! practitioners of Homeopathy Center of Houston for anyone, client and non-client, who would like to dialog about sequential homeopathy for autistic spectrum disorders. It is not a free consulting service -- it's for parent to parent sharing & encouragement, general questions regarding the experience of the sequential and integrative homeopathic method for symptoms of autistic spectrum disorders, and sharing the joy of watching children heal and find their way out of the world of autism. PLEASE NOTE, this is not focused on classical homeopathy, herbal medicine, or other holistic methods. We'd really appreciate it if topics would remain on sequential/integrative homeopathy for symptoms of autistic spectrum and developmental disorders."

Open Spiritual Health SF. "This group exists for
spiritual searchers/seekers in the San Francisco Bay Area

bioenergetic medicine and vital-energy work, and to a
theology that celebrates the body, creation, and

autocephalous/independent movement of churches in
apostolic succession. He extends a welcoming hand to all
local members (and clergy!) of self-governing
jurisdictions and base-communities of
Orthodox/Catholic/Anglican/Lutheran heritage.
This is a place for discussion of these issues, and a safe place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, and straight folk alike to explore the principles and practices of the path to wholeness and truth for body, mind, and spirit.
