It is a very neat therapy that uses the movement of horses to train and work the muscles of people who have strength or coordination or health problems particularly with their legs.  I've seen it have some really good effects with children because the muscles that are worked are so similar to the ones we use walking that their ability to walk and their strength really improves. Plus its fun!  Here's one link about it that will know a lot more than me.

Hypnotherapy is something a licensed clinical psychologist uses to treat people with mental illness.\n\nWhat a massage therapist does is....something else.

HOMEOPATHY DOES **NOT** WORK. It's not a scientific practice. \nFurthermore, standard Medicine has nothing to do with "ALLOPATHY". The term allopathy is misused, and has pejorative connotation. The term allopathy is wrongly used by nonmedical practitioners like chiropractors, naturalists, etc., and (sadly) real doctors as well.\nHave a look at http://www.ncahf.org/articles/a-b/allopathy.html

It's indicated for hypothermic patients.  It works by generating heat that is absorbed by the body to help bring the core body temperature back to normal.  I think that's what you're asking.

They claim homeopathic medicine works by giving you a tiny amount of something that you build up a resistance for, which resembles the thing you are trying to get rid of, and this helps you combat a disease by improving your immune system, rather than antibiotics, which kill the disease directly.  They call things like antibiotics "allopathic".

This is something I've never heard of before...but, the human body is amazing in that everything is connected. Could be. If it is true, then I would recommend acupuncture to deal with it.

Each of these models of hypnosis gives rise to a set of techniques the therapist may employ in the treatment process. The method will to some extent depend on the patient’s susceptibility and the nature of the treatment planned.\n\nIn the treatment of psychological conditions, the hypnotherapist uses the hypnotic state to relax the patient in order to employ a technique in psychotherapy which could be analytical, cognitive, or behavioural. Thus hypnotherapy is a useful adjunct in the treatment of most of the non-psychotic mental disorders, particularly the anxiety disorders, phobias, and certain addictive behaviours. In these disorders it is the experience of arousal, or anxiety, that serves as a cue for an unwanted behaviour that is aimed at reducing the unpleasant feeling of anxiety. Hypnosis by addressing the anxiety directly can alleviate the need to perform the problem behaviour, for example smoking. In addition, suggestions are made to the effect that the patient will no longer exhibit the problem behaviour.\n\nIn the treatment of psychosomatic disorders (physical disorders that are caused or aggravated by thoughts, emotions, or behaviour) hypnotherapy has been shown to have some effect. In the skin condition eczema it can be suggested to the sufferer that rather than experiencing an itch, the patient is in fact experiencing pleasant cool water flowing over the affected area. If the subject can learn to achieve this state through self-hypnosis, then at times of itchiness the subject can apply the technique and reduce further skin damage from scratching, and itching.\n\nThere are claims that hypnotherapy can work in the modulation of pain, such as that experienced in dental treatment; however, not everyone can respond to it; also the depth of hypnosis in itself does not always correlate with being pain-free. For this reason the technique is restricted to managing fear and anxiety in patients.

Mmm, not sure what catagorisation you're using there.\n\nNormal treatments for mental illness;\n\nPharmacological therapy.\nElectro-convlsive therepy.\nCognitive behaviour therapy.\nPlay therapy (in paeds).\n\nYou might also want to note the role of supporting specialities such as psychiatrists, occupational therapists, social workers and so on.\n\nWiki has a list of 'therapies', some of which might actually be used;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_psychotherapies

Hypnosis works better with certain personalities.  The people who can use it best are people who can become absorbed in reading a book to the point where they tune out time and things going on around them.\n\nHypnosis is really just an ability to become extremely focused on something mentally.  I would think you would want to work with a therapist if you do not know much about it.\n\nI used it to quit smoking  with a hypnotist, twice, 3 years apart.  I tried other quitting methods, gum, support-classes, cold turkey, but getting focused enough to believe "I am a non-smoker" was what worked for me.  After I knew I didn't smoke, the withdrawal symptoms were just something I had to endure for a while, like the flu, and not a call for a cigarette.

If you are concered about safety there are several non-drug therapies you can try. The best way to take advantage of them is to find someone who does manipulative medicine. All osteopathic physicains will be trained to do these procedures but not all of them do OMT (the manual part of osteopathic medicine). A massage therapist might be a good place to start or a chiropractor although I don't know that this is part of thier training. Overall I would recommend an osteopathic physician (they had a D.O. after thier name instead of an M.D. but they are both fully credentialed physicians). They can help with both the non-drug therapy and answer you question about safe drug more knowledgably.

I have heard of a LOT of solutions/home remedies people did and got sick from, and they didn't work, advising you about this is just a warning, if you know where to get supplies for the habit, you know where to find the solution for it to be untraced in urine, these supplies are costly, and most of these items are tested for as well as thc, nothing is failproof, thc will remain in hair and can always be traced back to how long it's been consumed, how much was consumed etc.  Another friend JUST told me.. advise "The Extra Stuff" drink found in most hippie stores, whatever that means

I've heard of hypnosis as working before. Another way is to just quit cold turkey. You have to be determined to quit.

Are you asking about it as a behavioural therapy, or as seizure therapy?  Do you mean electric shock therapy?  Or some form of controversial alternative therapy, such as holding therapy?  Regardless, this is a very disturbing question, and should be directed to the primary health care professional overseeing the well-being of that child...not a chat room.

Yes, homeopathy works.  Where do you think they come up with prescription drugs?????????  They take the homeopathic remedy, make up weird concoctions that do the same thing as the natural remedy, slap a brand name on it, and charge an arm and a leg!  They remove any benefits of the natural remedy, which is bad.  Homeopathy is actually SAFER than prescription drugs.  Both are regulated by the FDA, btw.\n\nhttp://www.caycecures.com/

I tore my rotator cuff and tried every conventional therapy for it with dismal results. Out of near-desparation, I tried accupuncture. The old, wizened Chinese "doctor" treated me once a week for ten weeks. By the end of those ten weeks, my shoulder had recovered about 85% of its mobility, and I was completely pain-free! I don't know exactly how it works, but it sure worked for me and I recommend it.

I don't believe in that, show me someone who has lost the weight from hypnotherapy.  What happened to diet and exercise?  That's really the only proven thing that works with no side effects.
