Dr. Bradley Nelson
LP writes: “My sister is into ‘energy healing’ using the book called The Emotion/Body Code. The writer and founder of this is Dr. Bradley Nelson (who is a Mormon). Have you heard about him and what he is doing?”
MA asks: “I’m wondering if you’ve run across any negative information on ALCAT or other companies who test for food sensitivities. Supposedly, if a person is sensitive to a certain food, then staying away from that food allows the body to heal. Scientifically, it makes sense to me, and I don’t see any elements of New Age in this. What do you think?”
Our ministry was recently contacted by a reader who encountered a practitioner of QEST (Quantum Energetic Structured Therapy) who claimed the energy involved in this practice was electro-magnetic and it was therefore okay to use.
MT asks: “I am reading a little bit about kinesiology. My daughter, age 13, has mild scoliosis. It’s a large enough curve in her spine to be diagnosed by conventional doctors but too small for conventional treatment. She is in pain all the time, and I want to try some alternative methods to give her some relief. A mother of a friend from school is offering to work with her through kinesiology. I still don’t get what’s wrong with this approach from a Catholic standpoint. Are there limitations I should discuss with the mom that is willing to work with my daughter?”

SL: “For fourteen years I have had hot flashes from menopause. Recently, I reached the end of my rope. In SC where I live there is a Dr. Susan Stegall on the radio. Her practice is called Integrative Health. I went to her office last week. She is not an MD but has studied alternative medicine. She uses a pressure method to determine where you need healing. The protocol (as she calls it) is then worked up and consists of homeopathic and herbs.When I went to her I had no idea of the technique she uses. While talking to me I saw her eyes focus on the crucifix around my neck. She made a point of telling me she is also a Christian. I use the protocol with my eyes fixed on Jesus and remain close to him. Am I in any kind of danger by seeing this doctor?”
