Hi Maria:

Thanks for your interesting post. To yours, I would add:

What constitutes a valid question concerning nutrition? Since when do
hands-on practitioners do anything that changes a person's nutritional
requirements? Does changing a person's nutrition potentiate
touchability or the results of a session or of a series of treatments?
Or render them more plastic, or less?
