Health and Wellness: Relief, Rehab, Renew

It happens now and then, a patient comes in for a health complaint and starts asking about whether Acupuncture really works for wrinkles. The first Acupuncture Facial I performed was in a clinic where there were several Acupuncturist. Patients were rotated between practitioners. I did the first treatment, the women was in her mid 40's and she had some wrinkles around her eyes, forehead and mouth, nothing outstanding but it definitely aged her. The next time I saw her was on her 7th visit. I had to do a double take. I thought she was a new student. She looked to be 10 years younger. I had heard that acupuncture it was an effective face life / rejuvenation but, when you see it first hand, it seems more impressive. I think it struck me more, because I had not seen her for so many treatments. The other practitioners that were there that day, agreed there was a noticeable change after even the 3rd visit. Everyone is different of course, but if you are looking for a good alternativ...

Consider the power of a seed. When planted, it can give LIFE. Grow into another apple tree or avocado tree, tomato plant etc. Seeds, when broken down to micro-sizes, release healthful phytonutrients/phytochemicals. Things like beets, broccoli stems, avocado and apple seeds have been shown to address a myriad of health issues. There is evidence from laboratory studies that phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of cancer, possibly due to dietary fibers, polyphenol antioxidants and anti-inflammatory effects. (NOTE: that cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower/broccoli etc need their fibers broken down to be able to process them) Food Therapy and good food choices are at the root of good health. But how to you know what foods  do , which seeds address what issues? I found an excellent book to get you started with all types of great information. I have been searching, for years, to find a compilation of this information and just stumbled across it recently. I ...

Which one is best...Spring, Purified, Distilled, Alkaline. Everybody is talking about Kangen / Alkaline water... I remember when Distilled water was all the rage. Everybody was buying Distillers, but why? What is the difference? Spring water is so popular, they serve it in most every restaurant. It is a huge business. I was recently at a trade show and the city was promoting tap water. It is already filtered, right? So why are we buying bottled water? Basically, we think we are getting better water, with better benefits right??? How do you decide which water to drink? Here is a the low down... Spring water , comes from springs and has minerals and bacteria from the area to benefit immunity etc. right? yes, however the minerals are found to be too large to actually absorb and get any real benefit. Bacteria, might be good now and then, but at the cost of plastic that leaches into the bottle when light is present, not so good. Distilled water has nothing in it, right? Distilled is most li...

I had a dream last night. I was standing in a line to pay my taxes when the girl in the next line said to me " Do you care if I smoke ?" I suddenly realized that she was not asking if the smoke bothered me (as I have always thought in the past and brushed off with a bewildered, questionable "no"). I realized that she was asking me if I  CARED  if she smoked. My reply? "Yes I CARE if you smoke, I CARE about you! You are my sister, you are my brother, you are the friend that I have not yet met, I CARE about you! We are all one people, we are all human, we are living breathing, organic beings, connected in spirit on this living breathing, transforming planet...I CARE about you. Would you try to feed an apple to a piece of plastic? NO! Do I CARE if you SMOKE? Yes, I care" I then began to think of all of the people who have ever asked me that same question and my injustice to their question. I felt guilty, for not telling them that I  care  about them.  I never...

With all the buzz about Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) and Cell Phones, Computers and plain old electricity everywhere, it is only prudent to consider EMF devices to protect your human biological cell from damage. I have tried several things in the past... One, I paid a lot of money for, and then it suddenly did not feel right, guess what, it broke! The one I love and still wear is a piece of jewelry with NASA technology call Dichroic Jewelry and you can find them here and there, they are beautiful and look like a weird stone of some sort, but are manmade (size does matter here, the bigger, the more protection). I muscle test these devices to see if they really work. I test them against my body, then I hold my cell phone up to my ear and test them, then I test them while making a call. This Dichroic Jewelry works in all positions. I once held up to a portable phone from home back in the day and turn it on and it did not work. What does that mean? Could the portable phones have been wors...

We all have emotions and many of us have emotions that prevent us from moving forward on many levels. Physiologically, our bodies are designed to store emotions in a part of the brain called the Limbic system. The effective reason for this would be  if a child reaches up to the hot stove and burns his fingers , this emotional memory will be deep seated in memory so the child will not make the same mistake twice. The dysfunction  of this is that when we have an incident in life, fueled by emotion, our Limbic system takes that incident and makes it part of our cellular body, so that we will not make the same mistake twice. In Chinese Medicine,  emotions are associated with organs .  For example, it is known that Liver is associated with Anger, Heart associated with Anxiety, Kidneys associated with Fear etc. I believe that after the Limbic system gets the program of the emotion, it then begins to  replicate via the DNA  and integrate or transfer these ...

I have to admit, I have actually been a bit vague about Ionized Water and thought I should delve into it to try to clarify. We are recognizing that Ionized water's ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) rather than pH factor is more important when it comes to drinking water these days... Water treated via electrolysis through a water ionizer/purifier makes the water molecules somewhat thinner or more bio-available and also work like antioxidants to address free radicals in the body (something everyone can benefit from), this is measured as an ORP (Redox or Reduction Potential is what you should look for when buying a Water Ionizer/Purifier) Compared to any processed water for sale, Ionized Water with a reduction potential of -250 to -300 mV is beyond comparison due to its ability to scavenge active oxygen radicals. Most high end Water Ionizers offer choices in pH between Acid and Alkaline, with a variety of ORP values along with Purified / Clean Water which make for a great investme...
