Alternative Medicine,
Health, and Healing
Alternative medicine is simply an alternative to
what you're likely to find in a typical American hospital.
While most doctors will give you an odd look if you mention
"energy healing" there are a few who won't. Of
course, what's alternative here (in the US) might well be
mainstream in other parts of the world.
This site is here to help you explore avenues for inner
growth, alternative healing, overall health, and a couple
of other things.
Why "gems4friends?" From dictionary.com:
gem:
- A pearl or mineral that has been cut and
polished for use as an ornament.
- Something that is valued for its beauty or
perfection: a little gem of a book.
- A beloved or highly prized person.
Perhaps you'll find something here that you will
describe as a gem.

Resources and Notes
Any weight loss product should be
discussed with your nutrition advisor, then they'll be
able to create an accurate diet plan for
you. Some of these plans, such as the lemonade diet plans, can reduce fats
rapidly and it’s a natural way. Some other diet plans may contain artificial
flavors and chemicals so good nutrition advice can play
a big role in getting a plan that's right for you.
