Thich Nhat Hanh, beloved teacher and friend, monk and visionary died today at 95.
He was and is one of the greatest teachers of our age.
Though he endured both suffering and exile, he continuously
gave his wisdom and heart fully to this world.

As a Zen master, one of his special gifts was to offer the deepest realizations and profound essence of Dharma in exquisitely simple and immediate ways, clear and sublime teachings that awakened all who listened or read.

His encouraging words often included this story……
“When the crowded Vietnamese refugee boats met with storms or pirates, if everyone panicked all would be lost. But if even one person on the boat stayed calm and centered it was enough. It shows a way for everyone to survive. “
In a magnificent way, Thich Nhat Hanh became that steady and wise one, showing the way for us all, crossing the seas of this world.
Even now he reminds us that he did not die, he is not gone…….
“I am life without boundaries. I have never been born and I have never died.”

All that he touched is still alive in us, infinitely tender and wise.

May we forever carry his spirit and blessings.
May we become that steady, loving, wise one on the
ever-changing seas of this world.

Blessings and love,
Jack

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month. Our office specializes in the treatment of chronic Lyme disease, a condition which is prevalent in the Northern Virginia area.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is Lyme disease?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lyme disease is an infectious disease that creates inflammation throughout the body. It’s caused by spirochete that’s transmitted through a tick bite. There are many possible symptoms of Lyme disease, including:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Rash⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chills⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fever⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fatigue⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nausea⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Vomiting⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Headaches⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Joint Pain⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Brain Fog⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tick bites also commonly transmit bacteria that can cause co-infections — such as Babesia and Bartonella — that can cause additional symptoms.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
​ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even if your symptoms subside, this doesn’t mean that Lyme disease has gone, so it’s important to seek medical attention. Untreated cases of Lyme disease can develop into arthritis and other neurological and cardiac disorders.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How is Lyme disease diagnosed?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lyme disease can be challenging to diagnose. Lab tests are often inaccurate, and the symptoms can overlap those of other conditions.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
​⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The physicians at Five Stones are members of ILADS and use the diagnostic and treatment criteria endorsed by this organization in their approach to Lyme disease, including chronic Lyme.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
​⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How is Lyme disease treated?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The treatment for Lyme disease is often complex and can range from simple antibiotics to a longer and more complicated course of treatments.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
​⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Five Stones medical professionals go beyond traditional Lyme disease treatments and offer alternative and functional medicine approaches, including for those who have chronic or persistent Lyme disease.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have had four patients in the past two weeks tell me that they must go to the dentist as they are experiencing tooth pain. I found this odd as I’ve been practicing twenty five years and can’t remember when a patient said this to me. So I started thinking and I believe it’s because of the cloth masks. They hold bacteria and the masks also dry out mouths which allows bacteria to proliferate. So I believe it’s important to wash our cloth masks every day or use disposable masks that we can change every day.

Just got this email from the SBA on how they are calculating what portion one gets from the 10,000 grant. It’s based on how many employees you have. Neither of the two avenues offered under the cares program takes into account the sole proprietor or the ma and pop store. And although it’s trying to protect jobs it’s not protecting or helping the business. Such a 💩 show.

Dear Applicant,

On March 29, 2020, following the passage of the CARES Act, the SBA provided small business owners and non-profits impacted by COVID-19 with the opportunity to obtain up to a $10,000 Advance on their Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). The Advance is available as part of the full EIDL application and will be transferred into the account you provide shortly after your application is submitted. To ensure that the greatest number of applicants can receive assistance during this challenging time, the amount of your Advance will be determined by the number of your pre-disaster (i.e., as of January 31, 2020) employees. The Advance will provide $1,000 per employee up to a maximum of $10,000.

You may be eligible for another loan program, the Paycheck Protection Program, which is available through participating lenders. Below is a comparison of the two loan programs:

PURPOSE

Forgivable if used for payroll (minimum of 75% of the funds received) and the remaining for certain operating expenses (amount of any EIDL advance is not forgivable)

TERMS
