OCTOBER 2008 EDITION

Holistic healthcare is all about listening to your body, and advanced modalities to help you achieve this come in all shapes and sizes. Daz Loong focuses on the one that works for her
It would be wrong to say that holistic healthcare is a growing trend — it's already taken hold. People's trust in conventional medicine is diminishing, as their relief in finding alternatives increases. Several studies have shown that Americans spend more on alternative medicine than on so-called Western medicine.They've also shown that people are making more trips to alternative practitioners than they are to their regular doctors.
Here in DB, and certainly in Hong Kong as a whole, the number of people seeking alternative therapy (and the number of alternative practitioners available) is rising.The world and his wife now swears by crystal healing, Chinese medicine and naturopathy, and in alternative therapies many are seeking cures for illnesses which conventional medicine is unable to treat. Needless to say, you have to be well informed when going down this road — there are all too many charlatan practitioners out there — but the success rate of many alternative modalities, and the 'gurus' who develop them is becoming impossible to ignore.
