Alternative August
Peoples’ curiosity about alternative or complimentary healing therapies is beginning to grow here in Cayman as the opportunities to experience these various health treatments expand each year. You may hear people talking about their latest trip for Reiki or to their homeopath and politely smile as you remain stumped about what exactly these alternative therapies are. Well, you are not alone! Many people have misconceptions about alternative healing therapies or simply have no idea at all about them and how they may be able to aid in making their lives healthier. Many physicians used to hail these alternative therapies "which include everything from chiropractic medicine and massage therapy to traditional/cultural healing methods" as "quackery." However, more recently many of the more common therapies have become accepted as “complimentary” to Western or mainstream medicine. In many cases alternative therapies are even included in the curriculum for medical schools in the UK and US. To help you in your quest for better health for yourself and your family, the WRC is offering an information session series on alternative therapies throughout the month of August. The schedule is as follows:
Please register to each session individually according to your preferences. Registration for all is not required. Call 949-0006 or email lise.hurlstone@gov.ky to reserve your space!
