Homeopathy on the Range by PITT DICKEY Once upon a time in a universe far, far away, was a small town called Carrboro. Carrboro existed in the shadow of its much larger and more famous neighbor, Chapel Hill. Chapel Hill was famous for its basketball team, its legion of highly paid former football coaches and coeds wearing cowboy boots. Carrboro's main claim to fame is a wide variety of tofu-based food items available at its cultural Mecca, the Weaver Street Market. Harris Teeter in an alternative universe would be Weaver Street Market. Weaver Street has picnic tables and is stocked with exot- ic items like free-range goat cheese, organic marmalade and mutant vegetables. On a recent fact-finding trip to Carrboro, I stopped for lunch at Weaver Street and picked up a copy of the local alternative medicine newsletter. Over the last decade Carrboro has become the alternative medicine Magical Mystery Tour Mayo Clinic for groovy healing and Shamanic-ritualized power-animal retriev- ing. Today's lesson shall consider some of the many fine non-traditional medical treatments that can be obtained in Carrboro to cure what ails you. There are many paths to personal transformation all of which converge in Carrboro. If you need to be transformed, Carrboro has a deal and a therapy for you. Music hath charms to sooth the savage beast of the 21st century lifestyles of the harried and the stressed. In Carrboro you can learn Sufi dances of universal peace that are "deeply transformative creative expressions" of the universe. By taking classes in drumming, you can begin "accessing realms beyond the physical through synchronizing the mind-body complex." If your gears are grinding between mind and body, drumming is just the ticket to realign your psyche. Want to find a "safe and trusting place where you can experiment and grow without the risk of aban- donment?" As Bob Barker used to say, "Come on down — to Carrboro." Physical pain got you cranky? How about a course of fascial conductive therapy where a trained semi-professional will revise your bio-electrical matrix and provide you "comprehensive integrative care in a peaceful relaxed atmosphere." We have all tried getting our bio-electrical matrix in synch in a crazy stressed environment and that just doesn't work. Try something new and celestial.
