AcuGraph Gives Back 5/5 (37)

The Need is Great. As you know, acupuncture is greatly under-represented in the healthcare delivery systems of most developed nations. Opting instead for western-style allopathic medicine, many countries overspend and under deliver on healthcare. The result has little to do with health, and is actually “sick care.” There is little offered until the patient is sick, and then the intervention is likely to make the patient sicker. You know this story. But what about in... Read more

Gobble til you Wobble? 5/5 (36)

Is it just Americans that are crazy enough to have a tradition that revolves around eating until you are stuffed? I received a Thanksgiving card in the mail last week that said: “Gobble til you Wobble!” Well, it’s definitely that time of the year. Eating with family and friends during the holidays is inevitable. Stuffing oneself is a choice. Even though I try to make a commitment before the weekend that I won’t overeat, somehow... Read more

When All Green isn’t All Good 5/5 (34)

Do you ever get a patient who is extremely sick, yet their graph shows a lot of green? We often get phone calls and e-mails from concerned practitioners wondering how a very unhealthy patient could have such a great looking graph. Actually there are some very simple answers to this question which I would like to share, but first let’s take a look at a patient of mine. Case Study: A 68-year-old extremely obese patient...

How About a Sample? 5/5 (32)

It’s been said one should never judge a book by its cover. But how often do we judge a film by its preview? Of course, that’s the purpose of previews–to give a small taste of the film’s content and story so you can decide whether you want to see it. I find previews really helpful, and I bet you do too. That’s why we’ve put together a LIVE PREVIEW webinar with Dr. Jake Fratkin: We want... Read more

I’m not afraid, are you? 5/5 (40)

I can remember one particular day in college, when I was walking down the hall to needling class. Everyone was quiet. This was the day we had all been dreading since day one. Inevitably we would have to learn to needle Ren 1 (CV 1) and Du 1 (GV 1). Not only did we have to needle one of our fellow students, we also had to be needled ourselves. You couldn’t pass the class unless... Read more

Healer Heal Thy Self 5/5 (29)

There are some things in life that I tend to learn the hard way. This last week I was fighting a cold, my husband was in the hospital, and I was scheduled to teach a cooking class in my home for 20-30 people. Several people offered to help out by bringing in meals. Did I accept their offers? NO!  Any sensible person would have cancelled the cooking class. Did I? NO! Instead of slowing down,... Read more

Branch Treatments 5/5 (33)

We have talked a lot about branch treatments over the last several weeks. A Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine uses the terminology ‘root and tip’ as the primary and secondary aspects of disease. The root is the primary condition and the tip is the resulting secondary condition which presents as clinically observable changes in the body. It is the damage to the root system which ultimately brings demise to the entire tree. One cannot necessarily... Read more
