Channelled Energy: Universal energy enters a practitioner through the crown chakra(energy center) at the top of the head then flows down to the heart chakra to be transformed.(not mixed) It then flows through two energy channels from the heart chakra to both arms into the chakras of the hands and fingertips, from there it is projected to the client. This form of channelling is of pure balanced energy and remains untainted throughout, from its initial to final stage due to the very nature of the energy itself.

Alternative Therapies Could Save Money

Alternative Therapies Could Save Money, Says Report Commissioned by Prince Charles

Many complementary treatments could make an important contribution to health care in the United Kingdom, says a report commissioned by the Prince of Wales and published this week.

Greater use of some complementary treatments could result in major savings in healthcare costs too, says the report, which calls for the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence to assess the cost effectiveness of such treatments.

"Despite the fragmentary nature of the evidence, there seems good reason to believe that a number of complementary and alternative medicine treatments offer the possibility of significant savings in direct health costs," says the report.

The report, which focuses on acupuncture, homoeopathy, chiropractic, osteopathy, and herbal medicine, says that deprived communities in particular could benefit from the treatments.

On homoeopathy, the report says, "There is a large amount of literature on the costs and benefits of homeopathy, and many studies over the past 40 years- randomised controlled trials in humans and animals as well as cost-effectiveness studies-appear to suggest that homeopathy is better than placebo."

On herbal medicine the report says: "The literature scan for this section of the enquiry suggests that there is evidence of clinical benefit relating to musculoskeletal problems, including rheumatoid arthritis, viral infections and the common cold, osteoarthritis, depression, Alzheimer's disease and dementia, heart problems, circulatory problems and benignly enlarged prostate."

Christopher Smallwood, the economist who chaired the investigation for the report, said, "We are not talking about sweeping savings. What we are saying is that as far as individual therapies are concerned, some of them are likely to be cheaper than conventional medicine."

Edzard Ernst, professor of complementary and alternative medicine at the University of Exeter, said, "There have not been enough rigorous studies on the cost effectiveness of complementary treatments, and those which have taken place have found they would add to the cost of the NHS."

Historical Use of Homeopathy for Epidemics

/
· During a Poliomyelitis epidemic in Buenos Aires, practitioners (Homeopaths and Doctors) distributed the Homeopathic vaccination remedy Lathyrus sativus to over 40,000 people. Not one of them developed Polio during the epidemic despite exposure.

· Nurses and patients protected by Homeopathic Vaccination at the London Homeopathic Hospital remained disease free during a 3 year period in which they were regularly exposed to Diphtheria.

· Records from a Smallpox epidemic show that of 2806 individuals protected by Homeopathic Vaccination, 547 of them went on to have a known exposure to the disease. Of those, 97.5% remained disease free.
