I'll take the first one...
"Polarity Therapy is a very effective form of treatment which is much sought after in this age of holistic and complementary approaches to ill health.
This approach to health and healing, developed by Dr Randolph Stone, DO, DC, ND, employs a profound system that blends both eastern and western concepts of health. It deals with the whole person, mentally, emotionally and physically, by helping the body to heal itself naturally. Polarity Therapy is truly a complementary science. It recognises that energy has to move from a positive to a negative pole, through a neutral field; this concept was applied by Dr Stone to the human constitution. This scientific law is fundamental to the movement of energy throughout the universe and the earth around us: it manifests in our physical body as energetic currents, which Dr Stone referred to as the Wireless Anatomy of Man. Polarity Therapy works on many different levels: subtle energy; nervous, musculo-skeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive systems; gynaecological (excellent in pregnancy and after-care) and at emotional and mental levels. It has been found useful in dealing with many varied and different expressions of disease by unlocking the holding patterns that create the symptoms." http://www.ukpta.org.uk/polarity_therapy.htm
I simply cannot understand what the energy is that is being channeled. Anyone? Electrical? Shock treatment? Laying on of hands? Chi/Chakra/BS. Im sorry, but I need some evidence of this so called energy. I hate it when psuedoscience is used to mug the needy. I have an open mind (honestly), I just need something real and tangible to help me out.
