"The awareness that health is dependent upon habits that we control makes us the first generation in history that, to a large extent, determines its own destiny". 
Jimmy Carter
 
"Captain Renault:  What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?
Rick: My health.  I came to Casablanca for the waters.
Captain Renault:  The waters?  What waters?  We're in the desert.
Rick:  I was misinformed." 
Julius J. Epstein
 
Ranging from meditation to herbs to vitamins to our favorite...spinning on your head in the bathtub during a full moon, while humming show tunes and followed by copious amounts of champagne and dark, lovely chocolate...we've have, collectively, tried just about anything of which you can think.
 
If it won't hurt you, isn't cost prohibitive or illegal, it's probably worth a try is the clarion call and heartfelt wish of someone with SOM.
 
This thread is the place to share your ideas, thoughts and experiments with all manner of alternative treatments. 
 
Be sure to add any that didn't make it on our list.
 
  1. How you decided to experiment with any alternative treatments
  2. If you chose this on your own, or if it was prescribed
  3. How long you took or used the treatment
  4. Benefits you received
  5. Problems you experienced
  6. Your feelings about the treatment experience

    Diet
    Exercise
    Vitamins, where obtained, dosage, duration
    Herbs (legal, please), where obtained, dosage, duration
    Meditation
    Relaxation techniques
    Body work, massage, rolfing, whatever
    Chiropractic
    Accupuncture
    Use of patches (with or without a parrot)
    Use of occluders
