Pot Smoking and Schizophrenia 5/5 (39)

Medical research now shows a link between marijuana and the development of schizophrenia and related disorders. Pot-Smoking And the Schizophrenia Connection Like most issues in society, many don’t pay attention to proven research, evidence or statistics until it somehow... Read more

I Recently Moved My Practice! 5/5 (39)

Recently, I relocated my practice so I could be a little closer to Miridia Technology. Walking across the parking lot to my clinic is WONDERFUL. Moving from one office to the next–not so fun! The good news is, I was able to redecorate my treatment rooms with some of our new posters from Miridia Technology. When I started working here, we had a few nice posters, but WOW… have we grown! The World’s BEST Auriculotherapy... Read more

What’s Eating This Acupuncturist? 5/5 (38)

So, I have this problem that’s been bothering me more and more lately. Every time I think about it, I’m reminded of my kids… As you may know, I have a lot of kids–9 of them in fact. It’s a fairly common occurrence for my kids to complain to me about one problem or another. After years of experience with this, I have settled on a standard answer I give all of them now. “There...

Friday at Five 5/5 (38)

A few weeks back, late on a Friday afternoon, I was getting ready to pack up and go home for the weekend. Almost everyone in the office was already gone. Oddly, I heard the bell ring as one of our blog followers walked in the front door. Imagine my surprise! Because Miridia Technology is located Idaho, we don’t have very many walk-in customers. Dr. Matthew Grippi, a practitioner from Eagle, Idaho, was intrigued by a... Read more

Kimberly came to work ANGRY! 5/5 (39)

Wow, I’ve had a couple of really stressful days–leading to feelings of anger and frustration. This morning when I came into the office, I decided I needed some acupuncture. Dr. Larsen has been really busy and I hated to bother him–so I opted for a quick Auriculotherapy treatment. After he teased me a bit for coming to work cranky, we did a quick search for ANGER in our Auriculo 360 program, and came up with... Read more

This Injury Healed Fast! 5/5 (38)

This Shoulder Injury Healed Fast…. This Summer I’m going to be more careful. No shoulder injuries for me, I’ve learned my lesson!   You see, last Summer my stepson was preparing to try out for football and he wanted to be a receiver. Receivers need to be good at catching the ball, so I decided to throw him a few hundred passes.   Of course, I didn’t warm up…who thinks of that…right?! Boy did I... Read more

Graph Analysis Tutoring Session Part 1 4.9/5 (41)

Once you have used AcuGraph for a while, your graph analyzing skills become quite refined. Graphs begin to come alive and tell you a story of what is happening within your patient. Often, you begin to form a hypothesis before the patient even reveals their chief complaint. Who wants to practice graph analysis? I have two graph reports to share with you–from two different patients. Patient #1: Patient #2: Tell me what you see when... Read more
