1. Magic isn’t all that glamorous once you obtain the knowledge and the secret on how to handle it properly. There is no special powers involved, but it does take years of practice to be good at it. Unlike magic, Alchemy uses the power of one powerful being. Being united with the force and the nature, helps people heal their bodies and minds. Believing in attractions and connections between people and earth does miracles to those who embrace them.
2. Holistic medicine is a treatment that cures people by taking care of their bodies and minds. There are no surgeries involved, only spiritual connection between the person and his mind. This type of medicine focuses on meditation, proper nutrition diet, exercising, healthy lifestyle and herbs. As in holistic medicine, alchemy focuses on the body and the mind of the individual. It doesn’t only focus on the illness itself, but also its effects on the person. By being able to connect with your mind and take your mind off of negative thoughts, helps a person feel whole and ease the pain. Connecting with the universe, helps the person to channel negative thoughts away and take in good energy.
3. There are many ways in today’s society by which doctors and physicians try to help people heal and be healthier without drugs and operations. One of the most common goals witnessed by today’s fast paced society is living a healthy lifestyle which includes: getting enough sleep each day, eating nutritious foods, exercising daily, and thinking positive. Another form of medicine that is widely used today is acupuncture. The method involves needles, a lot of needles. This form of medicine comes from the traditional Chinese medicine technique which balances out the forces like yin and yang meanwhile attracting good energy into the person’s mind and body. The person feels younger, more energetic, and full of radiance.
The Emerald Tablet
The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus
The Precepts of Hermes, engraved upon the Emerald Tablet
1. Speak not fictitious things, but that which is certain and true.
2. What is below is like that which is above, and what is above is like that which is below, to accomplish the miracles of one thing.
3. And as all things were produced by the one word of one Being, so all things were produced from this one thing by adaptation.
4. Its father is the sun, its mother the moon; the wind carried it in its belly, its nurse is the earth.
5. It is the father of perfection throughout the world.
6. The power is vigorous if it be changed into earth.
7. Separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross, acting prudently and with judgment.
8. Ascend with the greatest sagacity from the earth to heaven, and then again, descend to the earth, and unite together the powers of things superior and things inferior. Thus will you obtain the glory of the whole world, and obscurity will fly far away from you.
9. this has more fortitude than fortitude itself; because it conquers every subtle thing and can penetrate every solid.
10. Thus the world was formed.
11. Hence proceed wonders, which are here established.
12. Therefore, I am called Hermes Trismegistus, having three parts of the philosophy of the whole world.
13. That which I had to say concerning the operation of the sun is completed.

I agree with you on the fact that magic has no special power. It is simply concealing certain actions to create the illusion that something unnatural has happened. I believe that we both interpreted magic and alchemy the same. Although I am not belittling magicians work, there is a major difference in nature and miracles.
