These ultimatums are “a Russian attempt not only to secure interest in Ukraine but essentially relitigate the security architecture in Europe,” said Michael Kofman, research director in the Russia studies program at CNA, a research and analysis organization in Arlington, Virginia. As expected, the US and NATO rejected those demands. Both the US and Russia know Ukraine is not going to become a NATO member anytime soon. Some preeminent American foreign policy thinkers argued at the end of the Cold War that NATO never should have moved close to Russia’s borders in the first place. But NATO’s open-door policy says sovereign countries can choose their own security alliances. Giving in to Putin’s demands would hand the Kremlin veto power over NATO’s decision-making, and through it, the continent’s security. Now the world is watching. Waiting to see what Putin will do next. An invasion isn’t a foregone conclusion. Moscow continues to deny that it has any plans to invade, even as it warns of a “military-technical response” to stagnating negotiations. For instance a number of controlled studies have proven the effectiveness of acupuncture for treating a variety of conditions, from osteoarthritis to migraine headaches. Other studies have shown positive results in pain management. Drug addiction - two areas where conventional medicine is limited. But as with anything else, it pays to be a careful consumer when it comes to alternative medicine. According to the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, harmful alternative treatments include DMSO, laetrile, snake venom, coffee enemas, ozone generators, and ephedra (also known as ma huang). Studies have also shown some remedies to be harmless - but not necessarily effective. These include dong quai and wild yam. The latest research on using garlic to reduce blood pressure indicates the effect only lasts several months. In his 1987 testimony to the U.S. That statement still sums up how often alternative medicine users are reimbursed by their insurance companies. Dr. Vasant Lad is director of the Ayurveda Institute in Albuquerque, NM. Although he says Ayurvedic services are as popular as "hot cakes," insurance companies do not reimburse for them. John Weeks is editor and publisher of the newsletter, The Integrator for the Business of Alternative Medicine. He added that there's been a trend over the past three years toward discounted access, in which the consumer pays a reduced rate and has the reassurance that the provider has met the insurance company's criteria. The modalities most often covered are chiropractic, massage, acupuncture and naturopathy. The real news about the growth of alternative medicine in the West is a shifting of responsibility from the doctor to the patient, says Jahnke. In fact, if you do something in a timely way, you might not need to be a patient.
