You are welcome. As I said - some are not really accepted because they have not been researched much. But some - like essential oils and chiropractic care are actually used or recommended by the medical doctors. Essential oils are an ingredient in many of both prescription and non-prescription medications as an "active ingredient" proving the medical field is aware of its effectiveness but prefers to mask it rather than let it be known. Chiropractic care is recommended to many patients who are in severe car wrecks or have other traumatic injuries. Vitamins and herbs and diet changes are also often recommended by doctors. Examples of these include lotion with aloe for sunburn, vitamin D for depression relief, less bread intake for diabetics (these are all things docs have said eitger to me or my fiance at one point or another). So yes, some are less widely accepted and not as commomly known or used - while others are used on an almost routine basis.
