Alternative TV channel on Verizon FiOS and DISH Network

For those television viewers with Verizon FiOS or DISH Network, a new channel is now available called Veria, geared to an audience interested in natural health and wellness. They are new enough that the only sponsor I could see was Gerber Baby, but for program breaks they play humor, because everyone knows laughter is the best medicine. I saw clips from old Buddy Hacket and Richard Pryor standup comedy.

A cooking show created a meal cooking with organic ingredients that helped support an immune system to avoid allergy symptoms. Each step included explanations for why particular foods are helpful to good health.

Another program called Bedside Manor was particularly amusing, yet educational. The premise has a conventional doctor and an alternative healer debate specific treatments for a particular disease. I viewed an episode addressing COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and the different options available from both points of view. The traditional M.D. was especially critical of the alternative treatments but his sparring partner took it in stride, remaining confident in his theories.

Other programming includes feng shui living, yoga, pilates, aromatherapy, organic gardening, natural anti-aging and beauty products.
