| | The term "energetic therapies" is used to describe practices, including Reiki, external Qi Gong, therapeutic touch, and bioenergetics, that involve nonlocal interactions-that is, interactions in which there is no physical contact between the practitioner and the patient. | | | It is widely used at home, clinics and hospitals for a variety of applications such as pain relief for women in labor pain, relieving pain caused by the side effects of the chemotherapy undergone by the cancer patients, and rehabilitation of cardiac patients. | | | However, complementary and alternative medicine is worth exploring as a source of both new treatments and new perspectives on health and disease, and for approaches to reinforcing the individual's "life force", balance, and harmony with the environment. |

| | Darwinian Medicine Goes Alternative |
| | Alternative medicine has long had a reputation for the "gentleness" and harmlessness of its treatments (see Orthodox medicine). | | | The reason for this reputation is that alternative medicine possesses a fundamental respect for the body and its various defensive and restorative processes which is absent from orthodox medicine (see Orthodox Medicine). | | | The simple act of coughing for instance, viewed by both alternative medicine and Darwinian medicine as a natural defensive symptom whereby the body attempts to expel harmful substances from the lungs ( 2,3, 17), has always been regarded as a disease by orthodox medicine and therefore is normally suppressed with cough medicines. |

| | Since both naturopathy and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) teach that balancing this mystical force in ones body is the way to health, it was only to be expected that, as TCM gained popularity in North America and Europe, naturopaths would also climb aboard this bandwagon, as they had so many others in the past. | | | Would-be consumers searching books on alternative medicine for beliefs common to all naturopaths, or the empirical research that informs their practices, will be surprised to find how few authors, pro or con, could find sufficient material to justify a chapter of its own for this popular healing art. | | | Much like the concept of Qi in Oriental philosophy and medicine, this mystical force is thought to pervade all things. |

| | RDR, FCA and PCP |
| | The main difference is that the concepts and diagrams are given directly by the user in concept mapping whereas in PCP and FCA the concepts and diagrams are generated from repertory grids or crosstables, respectively. | | | Like the concept lattice derived using FCA, a semantic network or overall task or domain ontology can be found by determining the ordinal relations between concepts derived from the constructs and elements in PCP (Gaines and Shaw 1993a). | | | We agree that the extensional definition is problematic and too restrictive for some uses such as when we use the concept lattice to assist KA and validation of new concepts (Richards and Compton 1997a). |
