American Hospital Association states that patient demand is driving the Complementary and Alternative medicine movement in a big way!

When it comes to health care, patients are now more than ever seeking choices as they insist on taking control over their personal health care options.

Dr. Aaron Michelfelder, a family practitioner in Maywood, Illinois says it’s all about improving their quality of life.  He notes patients are improving their health since he added acupuncture and other alternative practices into his clinic.   “Being a Western-trained physician, we are of course trained to be skeptical. So at first I was actually quite surprised at the results I was getting.”

Here is a staggering new statistic – in 2007, a whopping 83% of American health care workers were seeking out and using complementary and alternative therapies when dealing with their own health problems!

Now American hospitals are including an ever-expending selection of complementary and alternative therapies, the American Hospital Association: “What we’re seeing is that the patient demand is driving this movement in a big way.”

As patients want choices and control over their health care options, Canadian hospitals may  have little choice and decide to follow the lead of their American counterparts where the offering

Medical researcher, Nadeem Esmail,  says in 2006, Canadians spent about $7.84 billion on complementary and alternative medicine (which includes classes).  Esmail also states many users refuse to share this information with their family physician.

Makes me think that maybe the amount actually spent in Canada could be even higher than reported.

Interesting quote from Dr. Richard Nahas, a former hospital emergency physician who is  founder of the Seeker’s Centre for Integrative Medicine in Ottawa, states “Although we discount it because it’s nonscientific, human nature is such that in some cases personal experience is the most powerful type of evidence.”

“There are a lot of problems that people face where the evidence-based approach isn’t necessarily ideal,” he adds, arguing that physicians should be more willing to explore treatment options in the interests of their patients, even if it undermines their own belief that medicine should be based on science. “What most doctors stand for is helping their patients get better. The problem is that if there’s a lack of evidence, you’re not supposed to try something new.”

“Hello Everyone, I am so excited about Reflexology.

I am nearly finished my practicum with the Universal College of Reflexology and write my final exam in 2 weeks! I wanted to share this session with you.

My practicum client is blood type O and because of this has always donated blood. As a seasoned blood donor she knows that her blood runs a little bit slow and always takes her 15 to 20 minutes to complete. She came in for her first practicum Reflexology session, left here and donated blood a couple of hours after her visit with me.

Just 5 minutes into her donating of blood, the nurse checked on her and said “oh my, you are almost done”. My client responded “oh no, that is not possible.” To her amazement, she was done completely at 7 minutes.

Circulation is key, and this is proof that Reflexology increases circulation. I have had many other great things happen, but this one was solid. I wanted to share. Happy studying” -VM, Alberta, Canada
