New Age Health Care

This book contains a well-documented warning about the spiritual dangers of alternative or holistic health care. We help the reader understand when alternative health care is wrong and look in particular at Reiki, Ayurveda, homeopathy, reflexology, iridology, acupuncture, chiropractic, macrobiotics, naturopathy, rolfing, applied kinesiology, neuro-emotional techniques, Touch for Health, and behavioral kinesiology. We examine popular arguments about alternative health care such as the following: It is merely the wise use of natural healing properties; you can “eat the fish and s pit out the bones”; it can’t hurt; it is God’s will that we be healthy; the body is capable of healing itself; the Bible lays out the ideal healthy diet; sincerity sanctifies alternative health care; testimonies provide evidence of genuineness; if it helps one person it can help all; if it is natural it must be good.
