A Report to the NIH on Alternative Medical Systems

This is a link to the 22 page report prepared for the National Institutes of Health. It is called BIOFIELD THERAPEUTICS The Sub-Section from Alternative Medicine: Expanding Medical Horizons. A Report to the NIH on Alternative Medical Systems. It was prepared by members of the Ad Hoc Advisory Committee
to the Office of Alternative Medicine, NIH.

The sub panel on structural and energetic systems was written in part by Barbara Brennan.

I would have thought someone would have taken the time to proofread it, but if you can get past the typos, it is interesting to note how several practitioners are seriously attempting to get the NIH to take notice and help with the problem of accurate research methods and funding in the field of Biofield Therapeutics.

I like the Table of Equivalent Terms for "Biofield."
