Public may not be ready for medical approach to drug addiction problem

Article Abstract:

The federal government is being urged to treat drug addiction as a medical instead of a criminal problem by a group of physicians who believe that medical intervention would be effective treatment. Socio-economic factors, treatment compliance rates, and economic impact were reported by the group in its study. However, the March 18, 1998 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Assn indicates that the American public believes otherwise.

Therapeutic touch fails to detect 'human energy fields.'

Article Abstract:

According to an article in the April 1, 1998 Journal of the American Medical Assn practitioners of human touch manipulating 'human energy fields' could not find such fields under test conditions. Tests for therapeutic touch were conducted in both 1996 and 1997. Dolores Krieger of New York University has been credited for conceiving therapeutic touch, which relies on identifiable energy fields, in the early 1970s.
