“I was listening to Wacky Wednesday on Women of Grace June 19, 2024.
I would be greatly interested if anyone has conducted a survey as to cancer in pets for people who use Essential oils in diffusers. I have known several pet owners who lost their dogs to lung cancer.”

"I have been told that thermography is a better alternative to mammography. Are there any concerns or dangers with thermography? Is it New Age? Would it be o.k. to undergo thermography for breast cancer screening?"

Many of my friends, suspicious of modern medicine, are turning to nutritional therapies including essential oils.

I have a relative in my family who is a trained physical therapist. I have noticed that she talks about organs "having certain emotional energy" These energies give way to our illnesses in our bodies. She has even been able to sense that a patient had an abortion years earlier, causing her uterus to retain the trauma inflicted to it. Many people admire her ability to release this negative energy from her patients. I worry that this seems very new age. In all other areas of her life she is an outstanding catholic. She has been trained in cranial sacral therapy, holistic healing, too. Any thoughts?"

"I’ve been reading these posts for a while and I’m wondering how vulnerable, sick people who realize they need help are going to get the help they need when health care and self-help have become a minefield of New Age practices/products. . .
