Mind-Body Therapy is based on the theory that mental and emotional factors influence physical health through a system of primarily neural and hormonal connections throughout the body.
Special dietary regimens (e.g. Gerson therapy, Kelly regimen, macrobiotic diet, Ornish diet, Pritikin diet) are used to treat or prevent specific diseases (e.g. cancer, cardiovascular disorders) or to improve overall health in a certain balance.
Complementary and alternative medicine include various approaches to healing and therapy that come from around the world and that are not based on conventional Western medicine.
