Embarrassing ailments meet holistic healers in new documentary series

Halifax - Remedy Me!, a new documentary series that follows those who suffer from odd or embarrassing illnesses as they explore the world of alternative medicine, makes its debut Tuesday, April 7 on W Network.

Tag along as these men and women – many dogged for years by ailments including irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids, restless-leg syndrome and adult acne – talk frankly about their problems and their frustration with conventional treatments, and ultimately dive into alternative therapies.
Filmed in Halifax, Toronto and Vancouver, Remedy Me! offers a behind-the-scenes look at complementary medicine and alternative therapies ranging from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hypnosis and Reiki to Chiropractic, Acupuncture and Bio-energy Healing. The process is sometimes distasteful, often invigorating, usually humorous, and always interesting.

Beginning April 7, Remedy Me! airs weekly at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Episodes include:

· Episode 1: Gas – Desperate for some gas-busting relief, two women leap into the world of alternative remedies. Spicy-food-loving Margaret tries Chiropractic therapy, while fast-food addict Deb struggles with the lifestyle changes prescribed by her Chinese Medicine Doctor and Holistic Nutritionist.
· Episode 2: Snoring – Two snoring dynamos, yearning for a good night′s sleep, are willing to try any treatment, no matter how offbeat. Mike′s snoring is so bad his marriage is on the rocks. He tries Ayurvedic treatments, along with Reiki. Also feeling isolated by her ear-splitting snores, Mary Lou commits to a holistic makeover on the advice of her naturopath.
· Episode 3: Overactive Bladder – David and Birgitta visit the washroom three to five times per hour. Desperate to stem the tide, David consults a doctor of traditional Chinese Medicine and revisits his childhood through Hypnotherapy, while Birgitta visits an osteopath.
