After seeing a demonstration of what it is I am a little skeptical of how effective it would be. I’ve searched the internet and only see promotions for it and that it’s supposed to be helpful. Can you provide any information, opinion or recommendation for this type of therapy? Would it be considered New Age?"

Anyone who has ever read Dr. Mehmet Oz's books can tell you they are packed with very useful medical information - along with endorsements of New Age energy medicine, yoga and tai chi. As a matter of fact, this is why I stopped buying his books - because I'm interested in his medical knowledge, not his religion, and unfortunately, I can't seem to get one without the other.

"In the radio show last Friday a caller asked about acupressure for allergies, and I found a way to 
reduce the "acting up" of my allergies by following the "Daniel's Diet in the book Daniel 1:8-17. I ate only veggies for 3 weeks and then fruits and veggies for 5 weeks, as a result I have lost 33 pounds, reduced my blood glucose and cholesterol. My mom who did this diet twice already has also seen big improvements in her health. I hope he listens to you in the next live program so you can give him this Diet."

"I have a wonderful Catholic doctor who recently told me to try Tea Tree oil for a skin infection my 6 year old had. She also gave me a prescription for a topical antibiotic if the oil did not work. I have used essential oils for medicinal purposes for a number of years and have had good results with them. We have not used them for serious illnesses, mostly just skin problems, viruses, tummy aches etc. I used the Tea Tree oil and within a couple days the infection stopped spreading and by the end of one week was completely gone. Is Church teaching against this?"

“I am Catholic and have been going to an MD who practices cranial biodynamic osteopathic manual medicine and a homeopath for several years. I also have been doing self help with Jin Shin Jyutsu. I went to these practitioners because going to the regular doctors who prescribe the chemical drugs was making me sicker. . .
