For those interested in exploring alternative medicine and PD, here is a listing of address for different alternative health related organizations that can be used to help find information and/or doctors, etc. in natural medicine. I sent out a listing of WWW sites earlier relating to alternative medicine, and that is where I found this listing. There is a program, called IBIS, to which one of those WWW sites mentioned is dedicated. This program allow you to research alternative therapies for specific conditions and is primarily set up for alternative health practicioners, but can be accessed by anyone. The WWW site seems to mainly have just info about IBIS, and a sample version you can download, but to run the entire program, it looks like it has to be purchased. I know there are some companies which provide computer searches too for a fee. I'll try to get their addresses/phones posted, and maybe compare their cost of doing a search, versus purchasing this IBIS program, and doing the search oneself. Here goes the info promised: MEDICAL AND HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS AND ASSOCIATIONS Presented by AMR'TA, the Alchemical Medicine Research and [IBIS Blue] Teaching Association ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you would like to suggest more resources to be added to this list, please send email to: [log in to unmask] Thank you.
