Wellness expo focuses on alternative therapies

Kay Bose was willing to lie down, relax and let someone walk all over her.
Bose, of Grand Island, Neb., received an ashiatsu massage Saturday at the Omaha Health, Wellness & Fitness 
Expo at the Civic Auditorium.
Massage therapist Sheila Kirsch used her bare feet to work out tension in Bose's back and other areas. Kirsch supported her weight by hanging from bars placed overhead.
It may look unusual, but Bose said the massage worked wonders on pain caused by a 20-year-long struggle with carpal tunnel syndrome.
The expo, with no admission charge, was designed to help people live longer and healthier lives, said Bob Mancuso of Mid-America Expositions, which organized the event.
More than 250 exhibitors, including chiropractors, holistic health gurus and fitness experts promoted their products and services, while seminars focused on such topics as nutrition, organic foods and alternative medicine.
Exhibitor Steve Lindsey touted soy oil candles, which he said will ease symptoms of psoriasis and sunburn. "You can take the oil from the burning candle and rub it into your skin," Lindsey said.
There was a sci-fi twist at the Quantum Biofeedback exhibit.
Tim Bell, a representative of the company, claimed that visitors who put on a headband at the exhibit received a reading of potential "hot spots," areas of the body that may need attention. Bell said the device also searches for parasites and fungus.
"Basically, it scans the body the way a computer scans for viruses," Bell said.
The Shambhala Meditation Center's exhibit was less high-tech and more Far East. Representatives held crystals above the heads of people who stopped by. They said the crystals' energy can help heal a variety of physical and emotional ailments.
Gary Boldra of Omaha said he suffered multiple injuries in a motorcycle crash last year and thinks the crystals helped him recover. "People kept commenting on how quickly I was healing," Boldra said. "This isn't just a belief — I know it works."
