For most of the alternative health treatment modalities, the treatment of other 2 was reported for both 2002 and 2007. For one modality--healing rituals/sacraments--treatment of other 2 (and 73 other conditions) was reported in 2002 only. For two of the modalities--hypnosis and movement techniques--treatment of other 2 (and 115 other conditions) was included in 2007 only. (See HYPYR and MOVALEXYR for more information.) Analysts interested in the treatment of other 2 by alternative therapies other than healing rituals/sacraments should see PRARITYR for the full list of alternative medicine treatments, as well as for a summary of healing ritual-related questions and definitions.
