superme: you are asking a good question, what is energy medicine, how does it work. What does this specific practitioner do and how does she do it? I would urge you to read my earlier response: Call her office, speak to her directly. Ask her about her training, credentials, experience. Ask for client references and testimonials. Explore any halachic/hashkafic issues with her as well. Chas v’shalom that we should be saying that a Shomer Torah u’mitzvos is a machasheifah or oved avodah zorah (lashon hora on the internet! moderators, where are you?) Don’t triangulate and ask here in the coffee room what someone else does. Ask the person directly. You can then ask intelligent questions for clarification during the conversation(s) and then decide if it is something that would be helpful to you specifically or not. And ask your halacha/hashkafa questions to someone who knows (I gave you a good resource for that). Oh yeah, and Quackwatch has an agenda, so I am unimpressed by that quote. There are many scientific studies being done at NIH and other places in the US and other countries (Europe, Australia) on all kinds of alternative/complementary medicine techniques. Why? Because it works! Read the Science of Energy Medicine by Dr. James Oschmann, or any of Dr. Lynn McTaggart’s books (The Field) or Dr. Candace Pert (Molecules of Emotion) or Dr. Caroline Myss (many many books) on this subject. Donna Eden (Energy Medicine, 10 million in print in many languages) has written many books with her husband, Dr. David Feinstein, a physician who was trained at Johns Hopkins. There is a lot of science, quantum physics and the like, that is part of energy medicine/holistic healing nowadays. If you are serious about wanting to know how someone/something can help you, ask them directly, and don’t ask the baalei eitza of the internet.
