Alternative Treatment Modalities
By Dave Kettner

The suggestions made by Dogpile were interesting when I was searching for alternative treatment.  The suggestions included searching for alternative cancer treatments and for Parkinson’s disease.  I took the suggestion to search for alternative modalities.

After I searched for alternative modalities, I visited Dictionary.com to find out what exactly modalities meant.  I was a little shocked when I visited their site.  They have made some terrible changes to its layout.  I don’t know if they have optimized their site to work with a different browser or what.

Before I browsed the results for alternative modalities, I still wanted to know what the world modalities meant, so I visited the Merriam-Webster website.  I found that modality is a noun that has several meanings.  The definition that I think applied to my search was that the word meant physical therapeutic agency.

The first result for my search of alternative modalities on Dogpile took me to an article on the Science Daily website.  The article was all about an ultra-sensitive blood test for breast



cancer.  The test sounds very promising for the early detection of breast cancer.

The next result for alternative modalities was for an article in the Montrose Daily Press.  I found a very informative page that only talked about alternative opportunities for children from birth to age eighteen.

These alternative opportunities are available because of a Holistic Health Resources of the San Juans Alternative Care Assistance Grant in both Montrose and San Miguel counties.  It took me a lot of searching to figure out that the Montrose Daily Press refers to Montrose County, Colorado.

My third result on Dogpile for alternative modalities was an article about medical tourism on The Manilla Bulletin Online.  I have never heard of medical tourism before.  It sounds very interesting to me.  The article said that under the Department of Tourism’s Medical Tourism Program, foreigners will be offered enticing tourism packages incorporated into quality and affordable medical procedures.  These procedures range from eye and dental procedures to cosmetic surgery and preventive tests.

Here are some more treatment articles...
