BB writes: "I know from listening to Catholic Answers that the Centering prayer movement from the teaching of Father Thomas Keating is not in alignment with Catholic teaching.

I want to know if Ozone therapy ( injected under the skin) and magnetic therapy ( don’t know how he would do that) is ok in the Catholic church. I was in a car accident and a naturopath offered these solutions."
