I know a person who is a touch therapist.  She got involved in the
field after searching for alternatives for surgery for her adopted son,
who suffered a congenital defect.  She was able to "heal" him thorugh
hands on techniques, much to the amazement of the surgeon, but not to
the amazement of her family physician, who had already seen it work on
other patients.  To her, it's a very ordered practice, with exact things
to do for specific problems; as orderly in its own way as pharmeceutical
medicine is in its.
