Today I'm wrapping up my series about alternative medical therapies.

I thought I'd take a moment to address what I didn't in last week's episode -- the fact that if you're watching this on video my look has changed dramatically. I'm now bald.

If you search alternative medical treatments on Wikipedia there are dozens if not a couple of hundred treatments listed. I won't get to all of those.

I think most all of us with chronic conditions are met with others' opinions about what will transform our health. That seems to be based on a deep seeded discomfort with prolonged, on-going, unsolvable pain and illness. I think others are afraid of our circumstances. The tendency to try and solve and fix are often the first thing (rather than being inclined to be curious, or to be *with*) are what people go to first.

My response these days is generally, "thank you" (next). I've had some success with alternate therapies -- even if they don't help my body they might help my spirit. Now I'm trying to check in with my gut and heart about what I want to try. Then it comes down to prioritizing my resources.

What have you tried? Are there things that you've tried that have made you feel a lot better?
