Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Therapeutic Touch, the use of the hands on or near the body with the intent to help or heal, is based on four principles. One of the principles is that illness is an imbalance in a person's energy field. Humans are open energy systems, are not bilaterally asymmetric, and have the ability to transform.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The scientific field of psychoneuroimmunolo gy studies neurochemicals, such as neuropeptides, that are believed to be the messenger molecules that connect the body and mind. Many neuropeptide receptor sites lie along the gastrointestinal tract; as a result, people can experience a large variety of gastrointestinal symptoms in response to emotional situations.
