Hi Venessa,
I tried all sorts of herbal and natural remedies. Here's a short list of what helped and what didn't:

- accupunture - worked and amazingly relieved my pain for a period of time
- chinese herbal teas - helped
- meditation - wonderful
- passive yoga - helped to move my body when I couldn't
- hydrocolonics - to clean out the constipated mess that narcotics created
- cranial sacral therapy - helped
- applied kineisiology - possibly helped didn't hurt
- messages - enourmously helpful for cramps in foot and ankle
- Reliv - a nutritiuonal supplement with a protein shake was the only food I ate many days

If your interested in more info I'd be glad to help you out. I believe that all alternatives help in some way to help attempt to balance the un-balanced(sick) body.
Peace,
Lisa
