Pain can really ruin your day. The same goes for debilitating allergies, mental/emotional issues, cold/flu, and a host of other ailments. The conventional thought is that we have to live with these conditions. Sometimes we're told there are no effective treatments for them. We chalk it up to the aging process and that our discomfort is unavoidable. My mission is to prove that the "downward spiral" concept is not set in stone. It is my belief that everyone should be able to live a happy, pleasure filled life at every stage of life. To accomplish this end, I use an array of therapies that melts pain and dysfunction, eliminates the symptoms of allergies, and identifies emotional stumbling blocks that hold us back in life, integrating them back into the greater part of ourselves. Using a combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western manual therapy, Herbal Formulas, and other holistic modalities, I want to help everyone tap into the innate healing power their bodies already possess. Aging is unavoidable, but we don’t have to grow old doing it.

Chapter 50 of the Tao Te Ching:

"I've heard of those who are good at cultivating life
Traveling on the road, they do not encounter rhinos or tigers
Entering into an army, they are not harmed by weapons
Rhinos have nowhere to thrust their horns
Tigers have nowhere to clasp their claws
Soldiers have nowhere to lodge their blades
Why? Because they have no place for death."

That is what came right to mind as I listened to this talk by Alan Watts this morning:

What if anger was never caused by other people, but only by the way we resist life itself? In this talk, Alan Watts explores why irritation, frustration, and...

Fellow acupuncturist Jason Pyeatt of Brooklyn, New York made this great visual to show how "dry needling" is actually a technique that has been in the acupuncture repertoire for a couple thousand years. (In case you're curious, the term "dry needling" got its name because Dr. Janet Travell - the doctor who mapped out the myofascial trigger points in the body and their referred pain pattern - originally deactivated these trigger points by injecting saline into the muscle. Later, it was realized that the saline did nothing therapeutically and that the syringe itself was doing all the work. At which point, "dry" hypodermic needles were then used. )

Chi Gong Class being held in Franklin Village. If interested in attending, please contact Robert Simon at robertsimonlac@yahoo.com.

What is Chi Gong? Also spelled as "Qi Gong" or "Chi Kung", it is Chinese method of self healing and energy cultivation. Similar to tai chi but easier to learn, Chi Gong helps support the internal organs, tendons, muscles, bones, ligaments, and fascia. Additionally, it can help promote better balance, unified whole body movement, and a calmer state of mind. If you’re seeking to feel more grounded, you would be hard pressed to find a better exercise than Chi Gong.

Here's a clip from a great piece on the CBC about how modern ultra-processed foods are strategically engineered and marketed to make them irresistible. Couple this with the fact that such foods are often calorically dense but nutrient deficient... and you've got yourself a problem.

"Something happened to our food in the mid-70s to make it irresistible to people." ...
