FC, Holistic medicine, Homeopathy, and HypnosisFacilitated Communication (FC) is a technique which the practitioner believes, allows communication by those who were previously unable to communicate by speech or signs due to autism, mental retardation, brain damage, or such diseases as cerebral palsy. This alternative medical technique involves a facilitator who places her hand over that of the patient's hand, arm or wrist, which is placed on a board or keyboard with letters, words or pictures. Holistic medicine Holistic medicine is a system of alternate medicine that visualizes the body as a whole and views body as more than the sum of the parts. It is believed to cause perfect harmony by fostering a cooperative relationship among all those involved, leading towards optimal attainment of the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of health. Homeopathy Homeopathy originated in the 19th century in Germany. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) originated this popular branch of alternative medicine. Hahnemann argued that treatment of disease should be directed to the vital force, and this would restore the bodys harmony and balance. Hypnosis Hypnosis is a process involving a hypnotist and a subject who agrees to be hypnotized. Being hypnotized is usually characterized by intense concentration, extreme relaxation, and high suggestibility.
