Complementary And Alternative Medicine Market Impact and Recovery Analysis| Nordic Naturals, Helio USA, Yoga Tree, Pure Encapsulations, Inc KSU | The...

On April 23, 2021, the FDA granted accelerated approval to the CD19directed antibody and alkylating agent conjugate for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma, and high-grade B-cell lymphoma, following 2 or more lines of systemic therapy.1

The decision was based on data from the single-arm phase 2 LOTIS-2 trial (NCT03589469), in which the agent elicited an overall response rate (ORR) of 48.3% (95% CI, 39.9%-56.7%) in 145 patients with DLBCL. This included a complete response (CR) rate of 24.1% (95% CI, 17.4%-31.9%) and a median duration of response (DOR) of 10.3 months (95% CI, 6.9-not estimable).2

In an interview with OncLive, Paolo F. Caimi, MD, an associate professor of medicine in the Division of Hematology and Oncology at Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at Case Western Reserve University and medical director of the Clinical Trials Unit at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center, both in Cleveland, Ohio, discussed what lies ahead for loncastuximab tesirine and how it fits into the rapidly changing treatment landscape of DLBCL.

Caimi: This trial was focused on relapsed/refractory DLBCL and included adult patients who had at least 2 prior lines of therapy. It included not only those with regular DLBCL but also patients with double-hit lymphoma, which is termed high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements, as well as those who had primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma. Patients had to have acceptable functional and hematologic status and had to be within normal limits in terms of renal function and liver function. They also had to have a positive CD19 expression as demonstrated by biopsy if they had undergone prior chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy; however, patients with prior CAR T-cell therapy were not excluded. The study did exclude patients with bulky disease.

Loncastuximab tesirine was active with an ORR of 48% and a CR rate of 24%. It is notable that as a single agent, it elicited response rates that other agents [did not] achieve in combination. Secondly, there was a good DOR of over 10 months, and the DOR was not reached for those who had a CR. In addition, the population was high risk. We presented at [the 62nd American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition], and we are going to present a subgroup analysis [at the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology Virtual Scientific Program] showing how different risk factors didnt affect how the drug worked.

Paolo F. Caimi, MD In general, loncastuximab tesirine is a well-tolerated drug. Compared with other drugs that are approved [in this setting], the adverse effects are somewhat different. Loncastuximab tesirine has described elevations of -glutamyltransferase as a frequent adverse effect. [Patients also experienced] mild to moderate hematologic toxicity. Additionally, there were portions of populations [with lymphoma] who had thrombocytopenia, approximately 18%, neutropenia in approximately 26%, and there were occasional cases with fluid retention and edema.

Photosensitivity including a rash or other skin damage with exposure to the sun [was also observed]. Practitioners need to monitor [results of] liver function tests and hematologic function tests, and change or adjust dosing for patients who have fluid retention. I also advise patients to stay away from the sun as much as possible, use sunblock, and [wear] additional clothing.

How does this approval advance theDLBCL treatmentparadigm?

Weve seen several new agents approved for DLBCL in the past 24 months, including some CAR T-cell therapies. This is the first antibody immunoconjugate drug targeting CD19 that is approved as an off-the-shelf agent, that is active as a single agent, and that is well tolerated. In addition, loncastuximab tesirine really doesnt cause neuropathy, which is a common [adverse effect] with other agents.

With loncastuximab tesirine we have another drug that has single-agent activity and has the potential for combinations[I hope] this will be studied. Loncastuximab tesirine has significant value in the treatment of DLBCL, [particularly for those] with severe neuropathy, those who may not tolerate CAR T-cell therapy, or those you may think will need treatment relatively quickly.

[Next steps for loncastuximab tesirine include] delineating the activity as a single agent, which will be important. Single-agent activity promises the potential for combination, and this is something that I think will be studied in the near future to see whether we can elicit further activity by using combinations with other new agents, particularly targeted ones. Also, for loncastuximab tesirine in general, as weve seen with other anti-CD19 with CAR T-cell therapies, the potential for activity in other lymphoma and B-cell lymphoma subtypes is significant. Further examination of its role for patients with mantle cell lymphoma [in combination with ibrutinib (Imbruvica) in a phase 1/2 trial (NCT03684694)] and follicular lymphoma will be relevant.

With over 35 years of experience in the industry, Dr. Gerry Curatola's aims to bring down the wall ... [+] between medicine and dentistry by taking a holistic approach to health.

Who do you see more in a year, your family physician or your dentist? Most people see their dentist on a more regular basis than they see their medical doctor, says Dr. Gerry Curatola, a biologic restorative dentist and founder of Rejuvenation Dentistry, a network of wellness-focused dental practices based in New York. The dentist has certainly witnessed this over the past year, as the pandemic has caused a surge in dental visits. We have seen an explosion of gum disease and tooth decay, just from the wearing of masks, Dr. Curatola tells Forbes. The heightened stress has caused grinding, clenching and chipped teeth too, and an imbalance of bacteria in the mouth, according to the dentist.

Dentists like Dr. Gerry Curatola have seen an increase in the prevalence of dental visits during the ... [+] pandemic.

Clearly there is a connection between oral health and overall well-being. Its why Dr. Curatola believes dental visits are a missed opportunity for checking in on peoples health beyond the state of their mouths. Dentists should be on the frontline for screening of major health problems, Dr. Curatola tells Forbes. We need to bring dentistry, medicine and wellness together to treat the whole patient. The dentist is leading the way in a more holistic approach, not only to treating oral issues, but to healing the entire body.

Dentists should be on the frontline for screening of major health problems, Dr. Gerry Curatola ... [+] tells Forbes.

With the pandemic bringing immune health into the spotlight, Dr. Curatola is optimistic that people are waking up to the importance of maintaining a healthy oral microbiome. Our oral health is intrinsically connected to the ability of your immune system to function optimally, the dentist says, referencing several studies confirming the link between gum disease and the severity and incidence of COVID-19. Describing the bacteria in our mouths as a coral reef protecting an island, Dr. Curatola says, when theyre unhappy, they de-regulate the immune system, making you prone to all kinds of diseases.

Oral health is intrinsically linked to the functioning of the immune system, according to Dr. Gerry ... [+] Curatola.

With 85-90% of infectious diseasesfrom tuberculosisto diabetes to leukemiahaving manifestations in the mouth, Dr. Curatola says the oral microbiome is not to be overlooked. The six to ten billion bacteria in the mouth do everything from protecting us from illness to aiding in digestion, according to the dentist. While good bacteria tends to get pitted against bad bacteria, Dr. Curatola insists our health is influenced more by the balance of flora in the mouth. Its all about the environment; the terrain, says the dentist. As naturopathic doctors say, its not about the seed, its really about the soil.

Dr. Gerry Curatola stresses the importance of maintaining a balance of good and bad bacteria in the ... [+] mouth.

Its this lack of education around bacteria in the mouth that fuels the misunderstanding that gum diseasea condition that Dr. Curatola says currently affects upwards of 80% of the U.S. populationis caused by bad bacteria, when in reality, its the result of a microbiome imbalance. The same bacteria that cause gum disease in the mouth are benign and even beneficial in a balanced terrain, explains the dentist. Bad bacteria in the mouth are actually resident bacteria in an imbalanced terrain, they flip a switch and become bad bacteria, expressing themselves as pathogens. Rather than eliminate bad bacteria in the mouth, the dentist encourages fostering balance to maintain overall health.

First developed by soap manufacturers, traditional toothpaste aims to kill all germs on contact, ... [+] rather than promote a balanced oral microbiome.

But this has been far from the mainstream approach. The philosophy in oral care has been this scorched earth policy of killing everything, critiques Dr. Curatola. With origins in the detergent industry, toothpaste was first developed by soap manufacturers, explains the dentist. Fifty years ago we thought it was a good idea to kill all bacteria, he says. While alternative natural toothpastes have since proliferated the market, they often contain sugar alcohols and essential oils, ingredients that Dr. Curatola warns disrupt the balance of bacteria in the mouth too. Frustrated with the prevailing killing all germs on contact approach, he created his own vitamin-packed prebiotic toothpasteRevitinfifteen years ago, to help consumers maintain a balanced oral microbiome.

Dr. Gerry Curatola's best-selling book The Mouth-Body Connection.

Its this determination to shift the way people think about oral care that impelled him to write The Mouth-Body Connection too. The best-selling book provides a 28-day program to keeping the oral microbiomeand by extension, the bodybalanced, with a four-step approach that includes cleaning out the medicine cabinet, eating an anti-inflammatory diet, exercising and reducing stress. I wrote my book because I want people to understand the mouth is a gateway, but its also a mirror for things that are going on in other parts of the body, the author tells Forbes.

Dr. Gerry Curatola developed the prebiotic Revitin toothpaste 15 years ago to counter the "scorched ... [+] earth policy of killing everything" that dominates dentistry.

Describing himself as a wellness doctor who is a dentist-by-training, Dr. Curatolas holistic approach to oral care is explained by his diverse background. While the dentist studied complementary medicine at Harvard Medical School in the 1990s, it was his later exposure to biologic medicine in Germany and Switzerland that would plant the seeds to his alternative practice. The first thing that they look at when someone has cancer or a serious autoimmune disease is whats going on in the mouth, Dr. Curatola says, describing the whole-body approach he witnessed in Europe.

Dr. Gerry Curatola's alternative approach is influenced by the biologic medicine approach he ... [+] witnessed in Switzerland and Germany.

Rather than take a one-size-fits-all approach to treating an illness, biologic medicine believes there are, what Dr. Curatola describes as, five layers of healing in the human body: biologic, biochemical, energetic, psycho-emotional and spiritual. The biologic focuses on balancing the bacteria in the body while the biochemical considers hormonal imbalances. The third layer examines the energy balance of the body, including meridian lines, which Dr. Curatola says, run from the teeth to every organ system in the body.

The last two layers of healingpsycho-emotional and spiritualare focused on our mental health. I find myself counselling patients as they open up in the dental chair, says Dr. Curatola. There are psycho-emotional issues that people have that prevent them from getting well. The spiritwhat Dr. Curatola says is referred to as Prana in Ayurvedic medicine and Chi in Traditional Chinese Medicineplays an essential role in healing too.

We need to bring dentistry, medicine and wellness together to treat the whole patient, says Dr. ... [+] Gerry Curatola, founder of Rejuvenation Health, a wellness center in East Hampton, New York.

For a good part of my practice, I focused on the first two, the dentist tells Forbes. After 35 years in clinical practice, Dr. Curatola is now embracing all five with the latest incarnation of his holistic approach to oral careRejuvenation Health, a wellness center in East Hampton, New York. Dentistry has been divorced from medicine for over 150 years, and Im trying to bring the wall down, says Dr. Curatola. Thats why I created this center, Rejuvenation Health.

Rejuvenation Health's diverse team of health providers offers a holistic treatment plan based on the ... [+] specific needs of the patient.

Guided by the biologic medicine philosophy, the programming at Rejuvenation Health utilizes a wide variety of disciplines to promote balance in the mouth and body. The center offers advanced dental proceduresfrom traditional root canals to bespoke custom veneers to TMJ joint therapybut wellness treatments too, such as reiki, acupuncture, intravenous (IV) therapy, nutritional counselling and weight loss programs.

From reiki to intravenous (IV) therapyprogramming at Rejuvenation Health is diverse, keeping in ... [+] line with the holistic approach of biologic medicine.

More innovative offerings include EMsculpt, a physiotherapy that enhances the core musculature and improves posture and performance, and FLOWpresso, a spacesuit that uses infrared waves to encourage lymphatic drainage. It takes patients out of fight-or-flight mode and it puts them into this relaxed, parasympathetic mode of their nervous system, explains Dr. Curatola. Within thirty minutes many of them are sleeping like a baby. The dentist is the only practitioner offering this service on the East Coast.

Rejuvenation Health is the only center offering FLOWpressoa unique lymphatic drainage treatmenton ... [+] the East Coast.

Anticipating a busy summer ahead, Dr. Curatola looks forward to continuously expanding the treatments available. Im very excited about the meditation programs that are coming, he says. I think theyre the perfect icing on the cake for all the other collaborative services we offer. The dentist also talks enthusiastically about a master health wellness series in the works for August that will incorporate all the doctors associated with the center. Well be doing these evening classes to help empower and educate people on how they can take better care of themselves in a more holistic fashion, he says.

Rejuvenation Health continues to innovate with meditation programming in the works for the summer ... [+] ahead.

Such a wellness series would certainly be holistic given the diversity of expertise represented at Rejuvenation Health. From naturopaths to medical doctors to nutritionists, patients have a multi-disciplinary support team at their disposal. Its such a wonderful, collaborative environment where the patient partners with all of us, describes Dr. Curatola. And I say partners with us because it takes a village; it takes people partnering together in a collaborative ways to really restore them. The wellness doctor hopes visitors leave the center with an enlightened understanding of the mouth-body connection; of how it all works together in mind, body and spirit, he says, before pausing to laugh, or I should say mouth, body and spirit.

The Mouth-Body Connection: This Dentist Is Breaking Down The Wall Between Medicine And Dentistry - Forbes

Balfour Sartor, MD, Midget Distinguished Professor of Medicine, Microbiology and Immunology, is the senior author of a study that shows how a novel consortium of bacteria that live in the digestive tracts of healthy individuals can be used to prevent and treat aggressive colitis in humanized mouse models.

CHAPEL HILL, NC A new study published in Nature Communications demonstrates that a consortium of bacteria designed to complement missing or underrepresented functions in the imbalanced microbiome of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, prevented and treated chronic immune-mediated colitis in humanized mouse models. The studys senior author, Balfour Sartor, MD, Midget Distinguished Professor of Medicine, Microbiology and Immunology, Co-Director of the UNC Multidisciplinary IBD Center, said the results are encouraging for future use treating Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis patients.

The idea with this treatment is to restore the normal function of the protective bacteria in the gut, targeting the source of IBD, instead of treating its symptoms with traditional immunosuppressants that can cause side effects like infections or tumors, Sartor said.

The live bacteria consortia, called GUT-103 and GUT-108, were developed by biotech firm Gusto Global. GUT-103 is comprised of 17 strains of bacteria that work together to protect and feed each other. GUT-108 is a refined version of GUT-103, using 11 human isolates related to the 17 strains. These combinations permit the bacteria to stay in the colon for an extended amount of time, as opposed to other probiotics that are not capable of living in the gut and pass through the system quickly.

GUT-103 and GUT-108 were given orally three times a week to germ-free mice (no bacteria present) that had been specially developed and treated with specific human bacteria, creating a humanized mouse model. The therapeutic bacteria consortia worked by addressing upstream targets, rather than targeting a single cytokine to block downstream inflammation responses, and reversed established inflammation.

It also decreased pathobionts bacteria that can cause harm while expanding resident protective bacteria, and produced metabolites promoting mucosal healing and immunoregulatory responses, Sartor said. Simply put the treatment increased the good guys and decreased the bad guys.

Because of the robust results seen in this study, and the need for more alternative therapies for Crohns disease, Sartor would like to see GUT-103 and GUT-108 studied in Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials in the future. He plans to continue his work with Gusto Global to further explore uses of the bacterial consortia.

This work was funded by Gusto Global, LLC. Daniel Van der Lelie, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Gusto Global, is the first author of this study. Germ-free mice were provided by grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Crohns and Colitis Foundation.

Hyderabad: Even though COVID-19 vaccination is in full swing, the pandemic continues to affect a huge population, severely affecting the countrys economic and social fabric. There are many who recommend tapping Unani, Ayurveda and other Indian systems of medicines which are Indias ancient alternative medical system.

Even as positive cases in India begin to decrease, most people are wondering how they can protect themselves from contracting coronavirus.

Siasat has come across Dr. M.A. Waheed, former director of Central Research Institute of Unani Medicine and member of Board of Governors, Central Council of Indian Medicinewhohas developed a medicated inhalation therapy to treat initial cases of COVID-19 with simple home ingredients and an easily available Unani drug.

The drug is a combination of decongestants drugs, anti-inflammatory immune modulators. Once these drugs are combined and converted into steam and inhaled it may prevent the virus from making major damage to lungs.

On how did he embark on this therapy? Dr. Waheed said that based on the clinical experience he has come up with a process. He claimed that even COVID-19 patients are getting benefitted by the therapy.

As coronavirus normally goes into the lungs, the inhalation therapy focuses on lower respiratory tract. The therapy included use of steam using natural ingredients and unani medicine called Triyake Azam available in any unani store. .

Initially, simple natural ingredients like Kalonji (nagella sativa seeds), Methi dana (fenugreek seeds) Darchini (Cinnamon), Adrak (Ginger), mint leaves, black peppercorns and Triyake Azam, which is a combination of three ingredients namely satte podina, satte kafoor and satte ajwaeen, were boiled in a pressure cooker and the steam generated was asked to be inhaled.

After realizing its benefits, Siasat Daily has asked Dr. Waheed to come up with a project that will have multi-level inhalation so that more people can inhale at one go. This inhalation machine can be installed at temples, dargahs, mosques, churches and public places where people can freely take the steam.

Soon, Syeed Kaleem Ahmed a manufacturer came up with a solution using MS pipe which had four points for inhalation. This pipe is connected with a nylon pipe from one end to the pipe and the other end connected to a pressure cooker at whistle point. This MS pipe is placed horizontally and from the point, steams is released and people can easily take the same.

Siasat and Faiz-e-Aam Trust have decided to distribute 100 kits.

Doctor Waheed said that the same ingredients i.e. 4 tsp of kalonji, 4 tsp of methi dana, 10-15 cloves, 10-15 black peppercorns, small bunch of mint leaves, 50-100 grams of ginger, small piece of dalchini, adrak around 50 grams and podina leaves are boiled in one litre of water and this can be had as a decoction. However, in steam therapy, the same ingredients are used along with unani medicine Triyak E Azam.

Asked if any trials or study is done to find its efficacy he said that patients recovery is the clinical evidence. Most of these patients were not monitored at any hospital and were being treated at home. There was a good feedback from patients and reduction in symptoms besides improvement in oxygen level were good enough to see the progress

He however cautioned people not to take decoctions in excess. In normal cases two to three cups of decoction can be had during a day. While in cases of COVID-19, it can be had 4 to 5 times and steam inhalation can be done thrice. This therapy he claims builds immunity, reduces inflammation.

He says Indian traditional methods play a pivotal role to augment preventive measures provided in the guidelines by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW). The current understanding of COVID-19 indicates that good immune status is vital to prevention and to safeguard from disease progression.

Reiki may sound new age to some, but its anything but new. In fact, its a form of energy healing with roots in ancient cultures. Reiki uses whats known as universal life force energyki or qito improve peoples lives and ailments.

The term reiki comes from the Japanese words rei, meaning universal, and ki, which means vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Some practitioners describe reiki as acupuncture without the needles.

Reiki is a complementary health approach in which practitioners place their hands on or just above different areas of the body. Its based on an Eastern medicine belief that living beings have energy fields that support their health and vitality.

Energy blocks, on the other hand, impede innate flow of energy, causing not only health problems, but also negative life circumstances like financial troubles or relationship problems, according to belief. Energy blocks of any living being can be treated, according to belief, which is why some practitioners also work on animals and plants. Reiki practitioners focus on sensing energy blocks and moving the energy for the greatest good of the client.

There are at least 30 slightly different branches of reiki, but Usui is by far the most popular form. Usui is the method practiced and taught in Japan as early as the 1900s by Makao Usui, who is credited as the founder of modern reiki.

Usui reiki came to the West via Hawaii in the 1930s thanks to a Japanese-American woman named Hawayo Takata. She traveled back to her native Japan to seek healing for her own physical and mental ailments, including a lung condition, asthma and a nervous breakdown after the death of her husband. One of Makao Usuis students, Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, taught reiki to Takata. Her healing experience was so profound that Takata returned to Hawaii and became the first person to teach reiki in the West.

However, due to the abundance of anti-Japanese and anti-Asian sentiments in the United States around World War II, Takata shied away from using the name reiki and instead referred to her establishment on the island of Kauai as a healing studio, according to researcher Nat Newton, Ph.D., a Usui reiki master in Orange County, California.

Takata modified some of the teachings for her English-speaking students and ended up training 22 students in reiki as we know it today, says Newton. Today, thousands of people worldwide are trained in Usui and similar reiki methods.

While reiki can easily be done in just about any setting, a typical reiki session takes place in a relaxing environment or treatment room, akin to massage therapy. Newton holds some of her reiki sessions in well-ventilated outdoor spaces. Meanwhile, many reiki practitioners do remote healing where they arent even in the same building as the client.

In a typical treatment room setting with a reiki practitioner and a client, the client begins face up and fully clothed. They might briefly discuss their ailment or situation they hope to heal. The session might begin with a brief meditation, and then the practitioner uses various hand movements to lightly touch or hover over various parts of the clients body while they are face up and face down. Throughout the session, the practitioner focuses specifically on their intent for healing.

We usually think about activating whatever is in the highest good for the client, says Newton. Sometimes well visualize the client as healed. But always well set a positive intention for whatever they need at the moment that would serve their highest good. We dont know what that is and dont presume to know. We let reiki do what it needs to do.

A typical session lasts 30 minutes to an hour, and a client-practitioner discussion uses a good amount of that time, according to Newton. After the session, I always spend time talking to my clients about what came up for them and perhaps also what I intuited, she says.

The most well-documented benefits of reiki revolve around the relaxation response, which practitioners say invokes the bodys natural healing process.

Dr. Rachel Lampert, M.D., a professor of medicine at Yale School of Medicine, and her colleagues studied 37 patients after having a heart attack. The patients were randomized into three groups: patients who simply rested, those who received a single session of reiki treatment from a nurse trained in reiki and those who listened to relaxing music. The researchers measured activity of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which regulates heart rate, breathing, blood pressure and digestion.

Lamperts team zoomed in on heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of the pattern of heartbeats thats controlled by the ANS. The higher the HRV after a heart attack, the better the outlook for the patient, explains Lampert.

In the Yale study, patients who received reiki had a higher HRV and improved emotional state. Our study was a very nice demonstration that doing things that are relaxing has benefits, says Lampert. We showed increased activity of the healthy arm of the nervous system.

Researchers at Harvard Medical School followed 99 patients at multiple sites to determine the effects of a single reiki session. The studya single arm effectiveness study published in 2019 in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicinefound statistically significant improvements in anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as pain and nausea.

Additional research suggests reiki helps with depression and insomnia. A 2012 study in the Indian Journal of Positive Psychology looked at 40 women who suffered from depression and anxiety. Half of the group received a reiki treatment twice a week for 10 weeks and the other half received no treatment. The women who received reiki saw significant improvements in both their depression symptoms and sleep quality.

A range of studies address reikis role in pain alleviation after knee surgery, the restoration of range of motion in injured shoulders, post-cesarean section recovery, hypertension management and the improvement of quality of life for patients with rheumatoid arthritis or patients undergoing various cancer treatments.

Portuguese researcher Zilda Alarcao and her colleagues looked at the impact of reiki treatment versus sham or fake reiki in two groups of patients with blood cancer. Each group contained 58 patients who received an hour-long treatment once a week for four weekseither someone trained to administer reiki worked on them or someone pretending to do reiki (sham reiki) spent an hour with them.

The researchers found the patients who received real reiki showed significantly more improvements than the other group in general, physical, environmental and social dimensions of quality of life using the Portuguese version of the World Health Organizations Quality of Life survey (WHOQoL-Bref), a well-regarded research tool that measures pain and other quality of life issues after undergoing an intervention. They published their results in 2016 in the European Journal of Integrative Medicine.

Multiple studies report no adverse effects of reiki, likely because its a noninvasive treatment. Practitioners note clients usually report feeling relaxed after a session, but some feel energized. Depending on the nature of the problem, Newton says some clients also may feel more emotional or have other intense feelings in the days or weeks following a session.

While there is a professional code of ethics that governs reiki practitioners, there are no licensing boards like there are for doctors, nurses or even hair stylists. Reiki master is the highest level of training, but theres a wide range of training and expertise among practitioners. To ensure the best result, practitioners advise clients to do their homeworkask a practitioner about their training and credentials, but also find someone you connect with and trust.

One potential risk is that clients can misunderstand the role reiki should play in a treatment plan. The code of ethics of the Reiki Alliance, a professional reiki association, clearly states that reiki practitioners work as a complementnot a replacementto the medical care a patient receives. Reiki is also not a practice intended to instill doubt in other medical treatments and interventions. Clients are strongly discouraged from viewing reiki as a substitute for medical doctors, surgery, therapy or prescribed medications.

Clients should also be aware that while reikilike yoga or meditationmay have roots in spiritual practices from long ago, modern reiki is not a religion. Practitioners and clients come from all walks of life and belief systems. Receiving reiki is not intended to interfere with or change a clients spiritual or religious beliefs.

According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, reiki has been studied for a variety of conditions, including pain, anxiety, and depression, but most of the research has not been of high quality, and the results have been inconsistent.

Naturally, scientists who study reiki beg to differ with that assessment. They say institutions simply need to catch up with the rapidly evolving science. At this point, there are probably 60 or more published studies that I can point to that show reikis benefit, and yet theres still this persistent myth that no credible science backs reiki, says neuroscientist Natalie Dyer, Ph.D, president of the Center for Reiki Research, a nonprofit that aims to advance the scientific knowledge and study of reiki.

Dyer acknowledges, however, that some studies have lacked rigor and some have not found statistically significant benefits with reiki. She calls for more high-quality research to understand the practice, how it works and its limitations.

In the Yale study of reiki following a heart attack, researchers note that its unknown whether the beneficial effects of reiki treatment over music stem from the presence of another person, the presence of a person with healing intention, the light touch technique, or a combination of factors.

Like any intervention, reiki practitioners warn it isnt a cure-all and shouldnt be viewed as such. But its deemed safe and potentially effective enough that a considerable number15% and growingof U.S. hospitals offer reiki healing specifically. Leading institutes like Yale, Harvard, the University of Minnesota, the University of Arizona, UCLA and others offer reiki as a complement to medical interventions.

Costs for reiki sessions vary nationwide, but expect to pay about what youd pay for a massage. In a major metropolitan area, you might pay $80 to $150 for a one-hour reiki session.

Professional associations are a great way to locate reiki practitioners and teachers who take the practices and training seriously. The Reiki Alliance, the International Reiki Association and the International Association of Reiki Practitioners all offer online tools for locating a practitioner in your area.

What Is Reiki And How Does It Work? - Forbes

Xanax is a prescription medication that is generally used as a treatment for stress, anxiety, and panic disorders. Its the most prescribed psychiatric medication in the United States.

There are also natural alternatives that have a similar effect but without the potential health risks and can be obtained without prescription.

Quick Look: Top 3 Natural Alternatives

The natural alternatives to Xanax are over the counter supplements designed to improve cognitive function. These types of brain boosting supplements are called nootropics. They can help you think more clearly.

Nootropics are also called smart drugs they can help your brain and mind function better by removing brain fog and increasing concentration, mental energy and reducing fatigue.

Nootropics can help reduce the symptoms of anxiety and stress.

Xanax is a branded version of the drug Alprazolam. It belongs to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines. You generally take it orally and, as is the case with many medications that have a tranquilizing effect, Xanax is often abused and used for recreational purposes.

When used under the correct medical supervision, Xanax can be very effective for reducing stress and anxiety; including anxiety caused by depression.

Alprazolam acts on the brain and central nervous system. It has a calming effect that is largely due to its ability to control neurotransmitter activity and boost the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

The main thing GABA does is reduce neuronal excitability in the nervous system. Once you know that, its not hard to understand why Xanax works as well as it does.

Unfortunately, Xanax can cause a variety of side effects including hallucinations, jaundice, and thoughts of suicide. There are good reasons why it is not available to buy OTC. There are good reasons to use a natural alternative cognitive enhancing supplement.

Fortunately, there are some very good Xanax alternatives that you can buy legally and use instead.

The best Xanax alternatives are supplements, capsules and pills. They contain natural ingredients instead of chemicals. They are safe and effective options that reduce stress and anxiety without causing side effects and you dont need a prescription to get them.

Finding a good Xanax alternative can be difficult. There are so many natural anti anxiety medications to choose from and many of the nootropic supplements that allegedly fight stress and anxiety dont work as well as the manufacturers claim.

Some nootropics also have a reputation for causing side effects. If you were happy to endure side effects, you probably wouldnt be looking for an alternative to Xanax. Youd be trying to get your doctor to write you a prescription instead.

Nevertheless, there are a few good options available and, after exhaustive research, weve refined our list and come up with the top 3.

This trio of nootropic Titans are not only the best alternatives to Xanax, they are the three nootropics that offer the best overall improvements in cognitive function as well.

Several natural ingredients can calm the mind in a similar way to Xanax. Many of them can provide additional cognitive benefits as well. So in addition to offering protection from stress, the best natural alternatives to Xanax can deliver a mental tune-up as well.

Although its possible to use the ingredients individually, the benefits can be greater when several ingredients are combined.

People who have the necessary knowledge could buy two or more ingredients and use them as a nootropic stack. However, mixing and matching supplements can be expensive so it generally makes more sense to choose a specialist supplement instead.

The best nootropic products provide high-potency ingredients in carefully measured doses that maximize the benefits all around.

Several ingredients can have the same effect as Xanax. Heres a list of five to look out for:

L-theanine is an amino acid. Its primarily sourced from green and black tea but certain species of mushroom contain it too.

Easily one of the best natural alternatives to Xanax, theanine is a versatile nootropic that supports improvement in mental ability as well and, like Xanax, it may help you to sleep better too.

Its ability to reduce stress and anxiety is likely due to the effect it has on serotonin, dopamine, and cortisol. The influence this amino acid has on serotonin and dopamine probably explains its ability to improve sleep as well.

Serotonin and dopamine are the two hormones with the greatest influence on mood, emotion, and sleep. Cortisol is a stress hormone and this ingredient is good for keeping it under control.

Its ability to reduce stress has been the subject of several clinical trials. Many of the studies produced data that supports the ingredients value in other areas as well.

For instance, the results of a study conducted in Japan show it can reduce stress and depression, improve sleep quality and verbal fluency, and provide other improvements in mental function as well.

Bacopa Monnieri is an Indian herb that improves neurotransmitter activity within the brain. Its very good for improving memory retention and can boost your brainpower in a number of other ways too.

Bacopa monnieri also provides powerful antioxidants that help protect the brain cells from being damaged by free radical toxins.

As is the norm with ingredients that are common to all the best Xanax substitutes, Bacopa monnieri has plenty of research behind it.

Results from one study, published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, show supplements providing Bacopa monnieri produced several desirable benefits.

Fifty-four elderly people, aged 65 or over, took part. The researchers split them into two groups. One group got Bacopa monnieri. The other group received a placebo.

Data from the study shows the herb reduced depression and anxiety while also improving word-recall memory scores.

Tyrosine is added to supplements in two forms. The most basic form is the free-form amino acid. This appears on supplement labels as L. tyrosine.

Tyrosine is also added to supplements as N-acetyl L-tyrosine (NALT). Its hard to say which form is best. NALT is more water-soluble but the body finds it harder to convert it to tyrosine. That means manufacturers who use NALT need to include it in higher doses.

Human and animal studies prove tyrosine offers protection from physical and mental stress. However, the data suggests it offers the most benefit when the level of stress is severe.

So, although tyrosine is a good natural alternative to Xanax, its an ingredient that should not be left to go it alone. It will undoubtedly work best in combination with L-theanine and similar ingredients. Working together, such combinations will be capable of offering the maximum level of support for all levels of stress. [source]

Huperzine A is a moss that provides multiple mental benefits and is often added to supplements that aim to improve memory and learning functions. Like Xanax and similar anti-anxiety medications, Huperzine A is also good at helping people to control their levels of stress.

Research suggests Huperzine A may offer additional value by functioning as an antidepressant as well.

Oat straw is the grassy, straw-like stem of the common oat (Avena sativa). Plants grown for their straw are harvested earlier than ones that are grown to produce oats. When they are harvested the stems are still green.

People have been exploiting the nootropic value of oat straw for many centuries. Its one of the oldest natural treatments for stress, anxiety, and depression. This type of use can be traced as far back as the Middle Ages.

Back then people were using it based on the known results. Thanks to modern science, we now have a better idea of how oat grass works.

One of the things it does is improve blood flow to the brain. By doing so, it helps the brain get a better supply of oxygen and nutrients.

Research shows oat grass also boosts alpha-2 brain wave activity so theres little wonder its so good for improving your smarts.

However, research suggests oat grass may enhance mood by functioning as a PDE4 inhibitor and also by reducing levels of proinflammatory cytokines, which have been linked to the development of depression and several other psychiatric disorders.

Regardless of the dynamics, oat grass is a good Xanax alternative. Several studies, one of which was published in Nutrients (scientific journal), prove its ability to reduce stress.

Xanax is an anti-anxiety prescription medication thats good for reducing stress and anxiety but you cant buy it legally without a prescription. Even when a prescription is available, Xanax side effects and other issues can sometimes make many people seek out a natural alternative.

One of the biggest stumbling blocks with Xanax is it can only offer short-term support.

According to the American Addiction Centers, Xanax is only suitable to use for a maximum of six weeks.

That would be okay if you only need help to deal with short-term trauma but many people who seek out Xanax and its alternatives are looking for something that can offer long-term support. The best alternatives can provide it.

Your first point of call should always be your doctor or professional healthcare provider. In circumstances where prescription medications for stress, anxiety or depression are not suitable then it is time to seek out over the counter medications.

There are thankfully pills that work like Xanax naturally formulated and available without doctor intervention. Most good substitutes are formulated using clinically researched ingredients.

They can improve your brain function and help alleviate anxiety and feelings of stress. Over-the-counter medications similar to Xanax can also improve your mood and can help your brain and mind elevate into a higher gear!

dexamethasone, back pain, pathophysiology

Few movies lodged themselves in my childhood brain the way Fantasia did. A psychedelic 1940s Disney animation set to a thundering score played by a maniacal Philadelphia Orchestra, it broke artistic ground as quickly as it laid it.

The scene that branded itself on my memory, though, was that of the sorcerer's apprentice. Set to freshly composed symphonic torment, it follows Mickey Mouse playing understudy to a great magician (based on a 1797 ballad by Goethe, Der Zauberlehrling, which means the sorcerer's apprentice in German), and, with Mickey being too lazy or perhaps too enterprising to fetch the buckets of water that were part of his job description, he steals his master's wizardly hat and conjures a spell to have a mop do the work for him.

In a (mildly, now that I have rewatched it for research) terrifying escalation, however, Mickey hacks at the mop with an axe to halt its autonomous and uncontrolled toil against a seizure of blood-red backdrop, shadows billowing up like nightmares on the walls behind them, while the mop replicates like a clone army, trampling over our poor mouse as he succumbs to the purgatory of his decision.

The reason I relate this disturbing memory is to illustrate what tends to happen when a simple question is posed in emergency medicine. Today's cascade of questions arose during a discussion about the possibility of using intravenous dexamethasone to treat acute back pain. The question, Is dexamethasone effective in treating acute back pain? then splintered into a thousand further questions. Let us watch them reproduce, without the soaring soundtrack.

The totality of the current evidence says probably not. A few small-scale studies are desperately trying to prove the affirmative, but they are, as is so often the case, meager in number, negative on primary outcomes, single-centered, and nonreplicable.

It is at this point, however, that the questions begin to split off.

There has to be an inflammatory component, right? So surely there's some biological plausibility in here.

Good point.

It gets a little fuzzy here. We were all taught that steroids need to be transported into the nucleus to exert their conformational change and effect, so we also know that steroids work in at least three ways: slow, quick, and hey, that's weird.

It is likely that the patients we see in the ED with acute (not chronic) back pain have a cornucopia of pathological mechanisms resulting in the pain we are assessing. The most common likely mechanism is the sudden wrenching of the facet joints, which have a rich neural network around them causing, among many things, severe muscle spasm. But they also have a relatively poor blood supply, delivering not much of anything to them.

There are other paths to pain, though. Herniated discs expose a hugely inflammatory core. Discs impinge on nerve roots, causing neuropathic pain. Hitting the inflammatory pathways will only modulate some of these, and without the benefit of advanced imaging in the ED (appropriately), we will not be sure how much each of these is contributory.

Horses need to be held here. Much of this is about the acute injury. We don't give steroids for acute ligamentous sprains. We (definitely) don't give steroids in acute brain injury. The risk-benefit profile must be way in the negative here. The side effects and risks of steroids are well known.

Man, this could be true. Sore throats, swollen throats, viral neuropathies, bronchospasm, cerebral edema, spinal cord compression, COVID requiring oxygen, arthritides, altitude sickness, all of them exquisitely responsive to dexamethasone. We give it when there's too much thyroxine; we give it when there's too little thyroxine. We give it for skin problems, eye problems, allergic problems, blood problems....

It is at this point that the questions begin marching over us, unyielding, heedless of the existential pain they might be inflicting.

You see where this is going: nowhere good. Like Mickey Mouse, who opened a Pandora's box, to thoroughly mix story and myth, a seemingly benign question has become something horrifying.

Let us return to the original question. Parenteral dexamethasone for acute back pain in ED: probably not justified. Perhaps the best treatment for back pain is avoidance, such as finding an alternative to back pain-inducing activities, like carting buckets of water.
