When I was in college, I had a professor who used to tell me that she was a “lazy” acupuncturist. She had acupuncture points that she used regularly with her patients that worked, and she got really great results. Therefore she didn’t see a need to continue to come up... Read more

I pride myself in not giving a “Band-Aid” treatment to my patients. Band-Aids, in the form of pharmaceutical drugs, are often used as a cover up in the Western medical arena for an underlying health problem.

Do you have patients who come in for regular acupuncture tune-ups? With patients who come in regularly, you get to know their graphs pretty well. I can usually look at the graph and know if they had been partying over the weekend, if they have had a cold, or if... Read more

What is the difference between constipation in a younger person and constipation in the elderly? Constipation always involves heat. In a younger person, it is common for constipation to manifest from heat–usually from food stagnation. Constipation in the elderly is a little different. There are a lot of changes that... Read more
According to traditional acupuncture theory, breast health is most affected by the channels that run directly through the breast–Stomach, Liver, Kidney, Lung, Pericardium and Spleen channels.

A little while back, I shared a story about a patient with pancreatic cancer. It has now been almost a year since she was diagnosed, and she made the decision to treat with conventional medicine in the form of chemotherapy.

You may recall that Kimberly wrote last month about graphs that are predominately green even though the patient is in very poor health. (See When “All Green” isn’t “All Good.”). In that article, she gave a case study and taught that very low graphs may show many normal meridians simply... Read more
Sorry that I missed all of you on the blog last week. I was enjoying tacos in Morelia, Mexico. Actually, I enjoyed tacos, tamales, tacos, chile rellenos, and more tacos. The only thing better than the food we enjoyed in Mexico–was the people! I... Read more
The Need is Great. As you know, acupuncture is greatly under-represented in the healthcare delivery systems of most developed nations.
