We’ve all heard about some of the more unusual treatments for different diseases and ailments, but what do they really do and are they effective? With the advancement of resistant medicine, people are looking to alternative remedies for their health problems. Here are some of the top treatments that opt for a more unusual stance on the medical route.
Cryogenic freezing
Cryogenic freezing may not be anything new, but could the process of spending a couple of minutes in the chamber improve your lifespan and quality of life? Cryotherapy advocates say that three precious minutes could shock your system and send out a jolt of hormones to relieve pain, boost your immune system and even benefit your sporting performance. It works by submitting your body to temperatures of minus 120 Fahrenheit for three minutes.
Urine Health Tonic
Urine may seem like a waste product but its actually nourishment, if supporters of urine health tonic are to be believed. One comment on a website suggests that urine can even be compared to the leftovers from a meal! Drinking your own urine is thought to be a great cure for a number of health conditions, such as heart disease, allergies, diabetes, asthma and even cancer. While the practice has occurred for thousands of years, there has been no medical benefit found in studies.
DNA Healing
Some people believe that emotional imprints from your ancestors can lead to depression. So DNA healing is the solution – the method of removing such a handicap. This works in an unsual way that isn’t exactly clear, though it’s believed that it can be achieved over the phone, but people who advocate it claim that it can release your genetic tendencies such as cancer and alcoholism.
Rebirthing Therapy
Being squeezed down a tight canal from a warm chamber into the bright world could be traumatic for some, but the process of ‘rebirthing therapy’ could help to undo the trauma through conscious and connected breathing. Rebirthing breathwork claims to help one let go of the psychological and physical problems associated with recalling aspects of birth, gestation and early childhood to release any unwanted emotions that accompany those experiences.
Energy-Deflecting Golfer Pendant
You may have noticed the odd fashion trend that some golfers pertain to of wearing a strange pendant while they’re out on the golf course. While it may seem like just an odd fashion statement you missed out on, the black or silver triangle is much more. This QLInk pendant is said to increase the mental and physical performance and lower stress levels by recharging your biofield, which is an invisible energy force that extends beyond the body. It’s even been confirmed by some mainstream scientists that biofields do really exist.
Maggot Debridement Therapy
Maggots have long been associated with death and decay because that’s what they thrive on. While these fly larvae may survive on the more disgusting elements of life, or death as the case may be, they work especially well when it comes to cleaning out infected wounds. The age-old treatment is known as maggot debridement therapy and is enjoying something of a popular moment thanks to the advent of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The maggots are placed a wound to dissolve the infected tissue, kill the bacteria and promote the healing process. Once the dead tissue is gone, they exit the wound and are removed. It was once considered antiquated but is increasing in popularity now.
