Most countries have great problems making ends and means meet in their health policies. Although Norway is in a most favorable economic situation, it is no exception, and the crisis in the Norwegian health services is presently a major issue in our domestic politics. Complementary therapies may offer some ideas and present some practical methods that may help to resolve this crisis.

By government initiative and parliamentary decision a committee is now at work in Norway to prepare an incorporation of alternative therapies into our health services. This creates a golden opportunity for complementary medicine in Norway where it is mandatory that we choose the right strategies, both at the theoretical and the practical level.

A main reason for the present medical crisis is that modern medicine lacks a scientific theory to explain the work of the healing system of the organism. Complementary therapies, like the bioholographic methods (ECIWO medicine), acupuncture and homeopathy may, according to the speaker, be explained on the basis of a theory of the healing system.

At the practical level it is now important to demonstrate that specific complementary therapies may solve major health problems. Three research projects to this purpose that either have been started or are proposed, are explained:

1. The treatment of asthma in children with a new type of light-acupuncture based on the formation of Singlet-Oxygen by a photochemical process.

2. The treatment of diabetes by ECIWO acupuncture.

3. The treatment of coxarthrosis by implantation of a small piece of gold thread in the acupuncture point Liver-3.
