         <description><![CDATA[<div>Acupuncture is the process of inserting needles into various areas of the body to clear the flow of qi described by the Chinese years ago. It is said to treat chronic asthma, stroke rehabilitation, epilepsy, insomnia, morning sickness, glaucoma, high blood pressure, low blood pressure and much more. There isn’t much scientific proof how this method can treat such a wide list of illnesses. This is because of the different factors involved at acupuncture rooms such as smells and dimmed lights, setting a relaxing environment. A red flag that arises in this method of treatment is mystical energy. The Chinese believe that qi can’t flow properly through the body until it is cleared by using needles. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Deepak Chopra thinks that someone can accomplish perfect health free from pain and diseases and cannot die. He believes that the body is comprised not of matter but of energy and information. Chopra says that human aging is fluid and changeable and is determined by your state of mind. Appeal to authority and ancient wisdom are two red flags that connect with Chopra’s Quantum Healing. Since Deepak went to medical school, many are drawn to his teachings. His degrees and certifications give him a level of status which is valued by the world. Ancient wisdom is another red flag because he teaches alternative methods of healing.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Annie Tarasova talks about energy crystals in this video. She mentions that there’re many different crystals and they all have their different purposes. Crystals work on special energy vibrations which serves a healing or enhancing purpose on different parts of the body. She mentions the areas they are normally placed such as the neck to rest on the heart, the crown of the head, wrist etc. Annie also speaks about many royalties placing the pieces of crystals in jewellery and wearing them. Ancient wisdom is a red flag that connects with crystals because the romans once used this method of healing and it has been followed for many years. Another red flag is mystical energy because it is believed that the crystals have energy vibrations that connect to vibrations in our body.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In this picture is a copper bracelet that is worn on the wrist they are used for easing pain such as arthritis. They are said to generate a minimum of 20 percent improvement in tender and swollen joints. Various people have made claims that the way it works is that small pieces of copper rub off the copper bracelet onto the skin, which then absorbs into the body. Joints and cartilage that has been lost due to arthritis is regrown by this copper and helps to cure the condition and relieve pain. People who wear the bracelet often mistake the moments when they feel good because of no strenuous activities for the copper bracelet working. This can tie into the red flag Confusion of Correlation with Causation. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This picture shows different herbs and what people use them for. Many people believe in the use of herbs and other home remedies to cure illnesses. Some listed in the picture are rosemary, used to treat coughing, ginger, used to help with nausea and cayenne, used to clear congestion. These treatments have very minimal scientific evidence or none at all to prove the validity. However, they provide an alternative way of thinking to modern day medicines and practices. It is the belief by many that modern medications and antibiotics are harmful to the body. A red flag that is connected to this is ancient wisdom they used this practice as an alternative method of healing.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Ear Candling is a procedure that was done along with massages as being relaxing. It was later introduced as an alternative way of cleaning wax from inside your ear drum. This website speaks about some of the dangers of using ear candles such as serious burns, candle wax blocking the ear canal and temporary loss of hearing. Doctors have tested these candles, taking before and after images of the ear canal and proving that they don’t remove anything. What is seen when the ear candles are cut open is actually burnt material from the candle that resembles wax. Patternicity can be a reason for belief because people see what they think to be ear wax. This product is dangerous and should not be used because it can cause ear infections. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Cupping therapy is used to increase blood flow, relieve pain, help with inflammation, headache, common cold and much more. Although it sounds very appealing it is no different than acupuncture. To some people cupping can be painful. It leaves circles on your skin or sometimes bruising. Cupping can be done wet or dry. It is done by placing fire in the cups made of glass, bamboo, earthenware or silicone then outing the fire and placing it onto the body. A suction then occurs, and this is left for about three minutes. This therapy can be linked to the red flag antient wisdom.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Some parents choose to deliver their baby at home. This website talks about the risks involved and how to plan for it. It is recommended that if it is a multiple baby pregnancy that they go to the hospital or if the baby doesn’t settle in a position that allows for a head first delivery. They also speak about reasons why some parents choose to have their babies at home, such as comfortability, cultural or religious concerns which tie into the red flag of ideology. Another reason is the desire to give birth without medical intervention which connects with the red flag all natural. This method is risky because there isn’t medical equipment to monitor your temperature, pulse, blood pressure and your baby's heart rate. There is also a greater risk of infant death and seizures. </div>]]></description>
