Beyond the boundaries of mainstream medicine are treatments that many claim have powerful healing properties. Produced in association with Skeptical Inquirer magazine, this intriguing program scrutinizes the principles behind acupuncture, magnet therapy, crystal therapy, homeopathy, therapeutic touch, and reiki as respected practitioners demonstrate their specialties and make their case. But at every turn, equally respected critics also have their say, making this video a particularly well balanced analysis of these popular treatment modalities. Is alternative medicine scientifically quantifiable? And, if it reduces suffering and promotes healing, does it matter? A Discovery Channel Production.
