I've been fascinated by Alyssa's ongoing descriptions of these treatments.

They seem almost like magic! Do you, Alyssa, or does anybody else know the

scientific theory behind it, and how and why it works? (It obviously does

work; I might have been skeptical about that at one time.)

For acupuncture, there are a number of good books. Intriguingly, one of

the best on Chinese medicine is called 4 Paws, 5 Directions, which

is about employing acupuncture and so forth on our furred children. My

Dachshund Duo gets a maintenance treatment every eight weeks. A friend of

mine has been getting her 21 year old cat acupuncture after I told her

what it had done for Shadow and Sunny. She says that Bebe acts as though

she's no more than 15.

Can't say it's exactly scientific, but I know one area of thought on

this is similar to the thinking on feng shui. Everything is said to

have chi, ki, energy, whatever you want to call is, and in feng shui

you try to manipulate the energy of your surroundings to help improve

your life.

In muscle testing, from what I've read and talked to my Dr. about, the

same concept applies. Every food we eat has energy, and each of our

bodies have 'energy fields,' I guess based on our meridians which are

targeted during acupuncture. When you bring the food into your energy

field (holding it) during the muscle test and it's compatible with

your body's energy field, you will get a strong response, and if it

isn't compatible, your energy field will be weakened, twisted

confused, etc.. and you will get a weak response. This is also why

results can change, because I know right now my body's energy is not

exactly where it should be because I'm not 100% healthy. I think a lot

of foods will test differently as my colon heals.

I'm sure there are other schools of thought on this, but this is the

only one that I've found and understood so far.

Peace =)

Since you still have D, it might not be a good idea to eat raw fruits and

veggies. In BTVC, Elaine said, " Because fruits and raw vegetables have

qualities which tend to make them laxative, they must be used with care

when diarrhea is still active. Although all fruits, all raw vegetables, and

as much honey as desired may be used when the diarrhea has cleared, it is

best to eliminate them until that time. When fruits are introduced,

after a week or two, they should be ripe, peeled, and cooked. Raw fruits

should not be introduced until diarrhea is under control. Raw vegetables

such as salad greens, carrots and celery sticks, cucumbers, and onions

also should not be introduced until diarrhea is under control. "
