Slowly we are making inroads. I think if we get some solid science based research targeting effects on specific conditions then we will be in. Simply claiming from results and testimonies from clients seems sometimes to make the medical field fight back. the most common thing I hear when a client gets bettter from an illness using bodywork or energywork is "The diagnoses was wrong". So it is ok to treat a misdiagnoses for years but not to use alternatives to get at the root cause. At least progress is being made.
Everyone will benefit when Complimentary Medicine is widely practised and patients can try the combination that suits them best.
