Hey Rick,

As you know I am a proponent of complimentary medicine. I think part of the problem is cost for people. I'm lucky that the person I am going to is also a social worker, so my hypnotherapy is covered by insurance and I have a co-pay.

I know I wanted to also try acupuncture but can't afford it right now. Funny I was just figuring out my monthly medical co-pays today and it's almost $450.00! I include in that chiropractic, massage, and hypnotherapy.

It's tough. It would be nice if insurance companies could cover these types of treatments. I work for a health insurer and it's hard today to add benefits when the rates keep going up and up and no one can afford insurance. It's such a conundrum that alternative treatment could reduce claims cost in the future but to initially add it in would raise rates.

Tranquility
