CAM Referral Association and Harmony Metaphysical Church Fundraiser

Following the Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) trend in our health systems, Harmony Metaphysical Church in Tampa is organizing a Complementary and Alternative Medicine Health Expo.

Vendors from Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas and Orange County will participate in this promotional fundraiser. There will be CAM therapists and practitioners there to explain and demonstrate their programs for those who are unaware of the affordable health options available. CAM is being used in hospitals and clinics in most of the united States. St. Josephe’s Hospital and Tampa General have included certified holistic practitioners as part of their services.

In recent years research in the reliability and efficacy of CAM practices has increased and many evidence based programs have been discovered and reputed to assist in the healing process. CAM includes energy workers as well as physical therapists, chiropractics, Reiki, massage therapists, reflexology, Quantum Touch, Holistic Integrative Therapy, animal therapy, Colorlight Therapy, Myofascial Therapy, Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy and many more. The University of South Florida is among the leading organizations experimenting with Virtual Reality Therapy for those individuals suffering from PTSD.

Many of these therapies are fringe services that historically were around before traditional medicine was developed. For example, Colorlight Therapy has been around since 32bc. Samassati Color Light Therapy is a painless, effective way to treat a host of many physical and psychological disorders. The therapy follows an individual approach for those of us who do not respond to the same guidelines prescribed by traditional medicine. Furthermore, it provides the resources to understand and live in harmony with our own innate, unique nature. Simply put, our bodies react to light, and color light therapy can help balance the biological, psychological and emotional fields of the human body.
