Expanded Treatment Availability

Chris — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 03:34:05 +0000

Our goal here is to help as many people as possible experience the benefits of Acupuncture and Herbal medicine. In order to accomodate the rapidly expanding demand for our services we have renovated both our physical office space and our case management procedures to respond to this need.

What this means is that established patients will have the option of same day appointments.

The office will have treatment only during the preferred late afternoon and early morning hours. During these hours there will be no consultations available only treatments. All re-evalutions must be scheduled during our consultation hours explained below.

During the mid day hours from 11 until 2 on Mondays and Fridays, and from 1 until 3 on Tuesdays through Thursdays, the office will have consultation only hours. These hours will be for new patient consultations, established patients re evaluations, and for nutritional counseling or other such matters.

We thank you for your patience, cooperation and understanding during this transition period. And we look forward to providing you with expanded, efficient, and effective service.

I am writing this in honor of Valentine’s Day,
a day of love, and all the other 365 days when
love in our world asks to be remembered.
There is a great need now, to love what sustains us,
to love Nature’s Original Technology.
The technology that makes dreams possible
is seeds. Seeds are the foundation of Nature’s Original Technology.
If you take a seed and give it what it needs,
love in the form of good soil, air, water, and sunshine
you can grow a human being out of a seed that has
the capacity to co-create a whole new world.
I call the our renewed world the Enchanted Garden.
The Enchanted Garden is a name for our renewed earth
that is born through enough us us making the most of our seeds.
Today, there are forces in the world who do not understand
that there is a Divine Plan behind seeds. It is not O.K. to take seeds
and Genetically Modify them.
Science has its limits; God, or whatever you want to call the life force
that inspires seeds to grow, has a bigger idea.
Today is not the day for organic infighting.
All who oppose Genetically Engineered foods are asked
to join together to create a mighty sound that speaks
loudly and is heard. This sound reverberates across the universe
now. It says stand up for Nature’s Original Technology.
Today is not a day for the various elements who know we
have to say No to GMO, or GE Alfalfa, to stop only here.
More needs to be said.
A people’s campaign is organizing to go into
stores and start putting stickers ourselves on the foods we imagine
contain Genetically Modified Organisms.
GMO Foods need to be labeled one way,
and we need to go beyond just saying No to GMO.
We have to say yes.
We have to say yes to recognizing that we need an
Enchanted Garden Seal of Good Planetary Beet Keeping,
a standard of living our individual and collective lives
in harmony with the beat of nature.
Looking 1000 years in the future, standing there, and then
looking back at this moment, now is the time to see that we came together as a people
to stand up for all that is true and good and honoring of life
in the world.
Plant Your Dream.
Plant Your Dream now.
Grow your life as best you can, organically,
one beat at a time, your heart beat
and the beat of nature as one pulse.
Your deepest dreams, made from love, are needed now.
So many new dreams are needed
so that 1000 years from now we can look back upon this day
of love and know we did the right thing by our seeds.

As of April 1st we entered into contract with the insurance Carrier Cigna. This means that those patients who are carrying this insurance will receive coverage at in network benefits levels at our office. What this does not mean is that all patients who have Cigna insurance will only be responsible for their co-pay at time of service. Each Cigna plan differs in their coverage of Acupuncture and some Cigna plans may not cover acupuncture at all. It is best to call your representative to inquire about your particular plans coverage of Acupuncture services.

The Food Safety and Modernization Act

Chris — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 13:53:05 +0000

There is currently a bill before the house of congress called the food safety and modernization act. Now depending on who you ask this bill is for the benefit of different groups. Purportedly it is to benefit all of the consumer citizens of the United States to protect us from unsafe foods and outbreaks of disease such as the recent salmonella scare. My gut instinct tells me different. I fear that this bill is to further centralize corporate power for big Agribusiness. In the way that governmental oversight will exert undo pressure on small cottage farming industry and producers of supposed “unsafe foods” such as raw cheese, raw milk, and organic non-irradiated meats and vegetables. This bill is under review for the next two weeks by congress before the Christmas recess. If the bill becomes law only time will tell if my gut instinct is correct, however by then it will be too late. If you are in favor of less government control over what you put on your dinner table and are in favor of eating “unsafe” foods such as raw cheese, raw milk, and local produce like I am, then I urge you to contact your state congressman NOW.

With that I will leave you with a passage from the Book Nasty Brutish and Short?

The first happy lesson gleaned from a study of traditional diets is that healthy food can and should taste good; that we can put butter on our porridge and cook in lard, that it’s ok to consume whole milk, fatty meats liver and onions, shrimp and lobster even insects, if you like to: That heavenly sauces made from bone broth and cream confer more benefits than pills and powders and ersatz low-fat concoctions, the stepchildren of technology, pawned off as health foods.

Wisely used, technology can take the drudgery out of cooking, and help us bring properly grown and prepared foods to the marketplace. Wrongly used, technology produces breads that are soft and sweet rather than sour and chewy; coca-cola rather than cottage industry lacto fermented brews, bouillon cubes rather than homemade broth; sugar embalmed ketchup with infinite shelf life rather than enzyme rich condiments and pickles preserved to last a few months in a way that adds nutrients, instead of taking them away.

The second lesson is that healthy eating is good for the ecology. The building blocks of a healthy diet are pesticide-free foods raised on a mineral-rich soil, and healthy animals that live free to manure the paddocks of thousands of farms, rather than suffer in factories, confined to misery and disease. The road to health starts with a willingness to pay a good price for such food, thus rewarding the farmer who preserves the land through wise farming practices, rather than the agribusiness that mines the soil for quick profits.

The Three Magic Steps to Easy Weight Loss…..

Chris — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 01:19:06 +0000

….according to Kelly Osborne.

I recently read an article on Kelly Osborne, daughter of Rock God Ozzy Osborne, in a fitness magazine. She attributed her amazing body transformation to three, well four actually if you include exercise, easy steps.

1. She started eating breakfast

2. She replaced her soda consumption with plain ol water

3. She made sure she kept her eating consistent throughout the day with a healthy snack if needed.

I was happy to read about her success in this fitness magazine because these are the exact steps that I teach patients wanting to lose weight. These three steps are not really magic but they sure seem to work like magic in the rapid and permanent balancing of the metabolism and resultant losing of weight.

Let me explain why these steps are the real deal when it comes to natural weight loss.

Almost all of my patients who state they want to lose weight DO NOT currently eat breakfast. Skipping breakfast allows the body to dip into a starvation mode as the last meal was taken over twelve hours previous. When the body is in this starvation mode, the next meal that is eaten is stored by the body because it believes that it has to store calories in case it goes into starvation again. Now imagine doing this every single day of your life……

Liquid calories in the form of soda and soft drinks are the single biggest cause of Americas obesity problem. Period. Why, you may ask? It is because they raise the body’s blood sugar to exorbitant levels quickly which leads to the destruction of the normal metabolic function. Ultra Sweet whole foods such as fruits do not raise the blood sugar to these ridiculous rates because they contain fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins which buffer the sugars present in the fruit and prevent the body’s metabolism from being thrown out of whack.

Kelly Osborne’s last secret to her weight loss, taking healthy snacks, reinforces the notion of allowing the body’s blood sugar levels to be even and normal throughout a 24 hour period.

This is the secret to real weight loss folks. And it is not really much of a secret. In fact it is pretty easy. Eat real foods, throughout the day, and move your body and you shall be trim!
