For over 2,000 years Chinese acupuncturists have realized the importance of tongue diagnosis. Western medicine is finally catching up to the validity of this approach as was evidence in a recent article on tongue diagnosis in the Scientific American magazine (Nov 2025, 13). In this article they discussed how patients with low iron, diabetes, or fatty liver could be diagnosed through tongue body, color, and coating.
Patients can look at their tongue to find if there are any peeling or holes in the tongue coating (see image below) which would indicate that the stomach may be experiencing disharmony. However, if you have always had what is referred to as geographic tongue (see below) then it is uncommon to see this change with acupuncture.

Most people think of mold as a household nuisance, but for many cancer patients, it can quietly work against healing. Mold doesn’t just cause allergies — it releases toxins (called mycotoxins) that weaken the body in ways that directly affect cancer risk, cancer growth, and how well someone responds to treatment. This is why every cancer patient should be evaluated for mold exposure, even if they don’t think they’ve been exposed. Mold is incredibly common, often invisible, and its effects on the body can mirror or worsen cancer-related symptoms.
One of the biggest issues is that mold is a major immune disruptor, and cancer is a disease of immune surveillance. Your immune system is designed to recognize and eliminate abnormal cells before they become tumors — but mold toxins suppress and confuse that system. When the immune system is weakened or distracted, cancer has more room to grow.
Mold toxins also damage DNA and promote mutations, which is the earliest step in cancer development. These toxins create oxidative stress and inflammation that injure cells, making it easier for damaged cells to turn cancerous. For someone already fighting cancer, mold exposure can add additional stress to DNA repair systems that are already overwhelmed.
Another important link is detoxification. Mold impairs the liver and detox pathways that are crucial during cancer treatment.
Chemotherapy, radiation, and even natural therapies rely on a functioning detox system to clear cellular waste. If mold is blocking or slowing those pathways, treatments can feel harsher, side effects can worsen, and the body may have a harder time processing cancer-related toxins.

Women break down estradiol into the following 3 metabolites:
2 hydroxyestradiol also referred to as 2-OH (inhibits breast cancer proliferation)
4 hydroxyestradiol or 4-OH (predisposes to breast cancer)
16 hydroxyestradiol or 16-OH (increases risk of breast cancer especially if they are obese, have high cytokine counts post COVID, or if they have toxins –especially organophosphate).
Some women due to genetics are more predisposed to metabolize their estrogen into the 4-OH and 16-OH form. One way to know if this is what your body is doing is to have a urine test done known as the DUTCH test.
Things you can do to raise the protective 2-OH and lower the bad metabolites through a varieties of ways are moderate exercise, consume cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower and kale), flax, and soy, and by taking the supplement DIM/IC3 which is derived from cruciferous vegetables.
One additional advice, a woman should never use Premarin (an equine estrogen) as this increases metabolism into 4–OH.

Do Bio-Identical Hormones Cause Breat Cancer?
One of the most frequently asked question I hear when starting a woman on bioidentical hormones is ‘ Will this cause me to get breast cancer?’ My answer is hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with bio-identical hormones actually lessens once chance of getting breast cancer. That is because bio-identical hormones have the same molecular structure as those naturally produced by the human body, and are derived from plant sources like wild yams or soy.
What is crucial in prescribing these natural hormones is the balance between estrogen and progesterone. High levels of estrogen in relation to progesterone increases one’s risk of developing breast cancer. It is well know that most women are diagnosed with this cancer during perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause when progesterone levels drop causing an estrogen dominance. A study of over 1,000 women who were followed for 30 years found that those who were deficient in progesterone were 5.4 times more likely to develop premenopausal breast cancer. And it has been shown that women with the highest levels of progesterone had an 88% reduction in developing breast cancer. This is even if they have a history of breast cancer on both sides of the family. But not all progesterones are the same. The use of Progestin (a synthetic progesterone) is associated with a 40% increase in breast cancer when taken with estrogen. This synthetic progesterone should never be taken.
We are here for you for ALL you and your family’s health needs.
We are a comprehensive clinic that spends time with you to get to the root cause and gives you many options for optimal healthcare.

Dr. Renae Haldeman, BS, OMD
Then there is Dr. Haldeman. I have seen many acupuncturists over the years in Las Vegas and other cities, and while many have helped, none have compared to her. She is a bit more expensive than the average acupuncturist, but from my very first appointment, I understood why.
I had been suffering with back and hip pain for years, convinced it was muscular. She said otherwise, and to my surprise, I woke up the next morning completely pain free. It amazed me. Since then, she has relieved symptoms I never thought acupuncture could touch such as bladder weakness and mood swings.
She has also provided temporary but instant relief for deeper issues that I am still addressing. Her technique is simply different, and it works.

…but quickly realized my 3 year old daughter needed to be seen as well. Testing revealed my son had leaky gut and high levels of environmental toxins, heavy metals, and mold. My daughter’s results showed even higher levels of all three. Before we even retested, I saw improvements: better bowel movements, mood, appetite, patience, and even bladder control in my daughter because her body had been trying to purge toxins. After the protocols, both of my children went from a full page of toxin results to just a few remaining, metals that needed additional support. Before Dr. Soria, I was blindly guessing and spending thousands of dollars on supplements, hoping they would work. I will never do that again. The clarity and results we received from her testing and protocols were life changing. Choosing Dr. Soria was one of those game changing decisions that spared my children from what could have been a much more difficult path. My husband and I also began seeing Dr. Soria. She helped my husband address gut bacteria that could have led to fatty liver and other issues, and for me, she uncovered high toxin levels and thyroid issues.
Today, the foggy mornings I used to dread are gone. I no longer wake up in survival mode. Instead, we are enjoying life again, and that is priceless. Jojo, CMS, CHT – Hypnotherapist While working with Dr. Soria, she suggested that I should consider Jojo, a hypnotherapist at Renaissance. I did not realize how much I needed Jojo’s work until I experienced it. For years I have been grinding, studying, reading, and working, trying to elevate myself, but I could not seem to find the right path. Jojo has a gift for uncovering what I never thought to look at. Sometimes she asked questions and I thought, “That is not it,” but then suddenly we would be diving into my subconscious, healing things I did not know needed healing. The results were profound. After working with Jojo, I felt lighter, calmer, clearer, and happier. Life no longer feels like survival. It feels beautifully calm, enjoyable, and loving. She gave me a new set of goggles to see life through, and that is a priceless gift.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, yet many people don’t know they are at risk until it’s too late.
When it comes to cardiovascular health, prevention and early detection are everything. Traditional cholesterol blood tests give us helpful information, but they don’t always tell the whole story. That’s where the Cleerly Heart Scan comes in.
What is the Cleerly Scan?
The Cleerly Scan is a cutting-edge imaging tool that goes beyond standard labs by directly looking at your arteries and plaque. It uses advanced CT technology and AI to measure not just how much plaque is present, but also what type of plaque it is—calcified, fibrous, or soft and inflamed. This matters because soft, unstable plaque is much more likely to rupture and cause a heart attack than stable, calcified plaque. In short, the Cleerly Heart Scan gives us a real-time window into your arteries, helping us understand your true cardiovascular risk.
While this imaging is powerful, the scan is only part of the solution. The next step is addressing why plaque is building in the first place. This is where a functional, root-cause approach comes in.
Using the Cleerly Scan for Heart Health
My focus is on helping patients naturally balance cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular risk through personalized strategies. While conventional medicine often relies heavily on prescriptions, I work with you to uncover the underlying drivers of plaque formation — whether that’s inflammation, oxidative stress, blood sugar imbalances, or nutrient deficiencies.
Using advanced labs, functional testing, and the insight from your Cleerly scan, we can create a comprehensive and individualized plan. This often includes nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted natural support tailored to your body’s needs. The goal is not just to lower numbers on a lab test, but to truly improve the health and resilience of your arteries.

For many patients, eczema isn’t just an annoyance—it’s a life-altering condition. Children scratching until they bleed, parents exhausted from sleepless nights, adults covering up their skin out of embarrassment. I’ve sat across from families who have “tried everything”: steroid creams, elimination diets, allergy medications, even powerful immune-suppressants.
And yet, the eczema persists.
These are the cases I see most often—patients who have been told there’s nothing left to try. But in my practice, I’ve found that stubborn, unrelenting eczema always has a deeper story.
The Gut–Skin Connection: The Root That’s Overlooked
Research now confirms what many of us in functional medicine have observed for years: the gut and skin are in constant communication. When the gut is inflamed or imbalanced, the skin almost always reflects it.
Fat malabsorption dries and irritates the skin.
Missing beneficial bacteria leave room for pathogens to thrive.
Leaky gut fuels allergic responses, histamine overload, and widespread inflammation.
But there’s more. In many of my patients, stool testing reveals hidden gut infections that act as powerful triggers for eczema:
Bacterial overgrowth (such as Clostridium, Klebsiella, or Citrobacter) that inflames the immune system.
Fungal overgrowth, especially Candida, which produces toxins that stress the liver and worsen skin rashes.
Parasitic infections (like Giardia, Blastocystis, or Dientamoeba) that disrupt digestion and fuel chronic inflammation.
When these infections are identified and treated, the skin often shows dramatic improvement.

The Tupi indigenous people have named a natural phenomenon that provides a perfect description of how nature is directly affected by astronomy. The Prororoca, the great roar, is the creation of a tidal bore
which causes the Amazon River to flow against its current. It is so named due to the loud sound that is made by the ocean and river colliding, causing the largest river in the world to flow against its current. This powerful effect is perpetuated by the moon’s increasing proximity to the Earth, causing the high tide to shift the powerful Amazon upriver. If the human body is approximately 70% water, why would we believe that this atmospheric shift could not affect our internal environment just as it does the great Amazon?
The Earth is in constant change, and so are our bodies. The seasons are crucial to consider as we strive to create harmony for our body through the support of acupuncture. The four pivotal times with the most atmospheric, energetic pulls that occur for the human body in the United States are:
Autumnal equinox: September / October
Winter solstice (low tide): December / January
Vernal equinox: March / April
Summer solstice (high tide): June / July
And, OH! How things can change quickly. Ailments arise like back strain, insomnia, headaches, fast heart rate (tachycardia), anxiety, fainting spells, dizziness, numbness in our limbs when we awake in the morning, jock itch, skin rash, spontaneous sweating or hot flash, nausea/vomit and flaring temperaments of all types! Why do we suffer like this? According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, these symptoms are messages the body sends asking for support.

Terry Pfau D.O., H.M.D. received his medical degree from Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1985. His internship was completed the following year at Kirksville Osteopathic Medical Center. He received his board certified in Neuromuscular Medicine in 2006.
While in medical school it was his 5-year-old daughter’s experience with psoriasis that sparked his interest in Alternative Medicine. In an attempt to help her, she was taken to several dermatologists who only prescribed stronger and stronger topical steroids.
Although the medication gave temporary relief, she could not be left on them indefinitely. On taking her off the medications the psoriasis would come back even worse. Out of desperation, she was taken to a physician in Kansas City who practiced homeopathy. Almost immediately she began to see improvement and within a month the skin lesion had cleared.
Over the last 32 years, Dr Pfau has sought out training from some of the best physicians in the alternative medical field. He is a graduate of the Hahnemann College of Homeopathy, the U.C.L.A Medical Acupuncture for Physicians Course, and Maharishi Ayurvedic Medicine Course for Physicians. He has also completed studies in chelation therapy, nutrition, osteopathic manipulation, bio-identical hormone therapy, and prolotherapy.
As Dr. Pfau has refined his practice over the last 32 years, he has found homeopathy and acupuncture to be the most comprehensive and effective approach in treatment most chronic illnesses. Homeopathy’s ability to stimulate healing on a deep level and its absence of negative side effects has benefited thousands of his patients both young and old. Because homeopathy is not a panacea he has learned to incorporate other therapeutic modalities, such as acupuncture and nutrition to assist the healing process.
Dr. Pfau is licensed in Nevada to practice both general medicine, as well as homeopathy.
When Dr. Pfau first began his practice in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1986 it consisted primarily of Homeopathy. In an attempt to help all his patients suffering from chronic disease Terry Pfau DO has broadened his scope of practice over the last 27 years to include, Osteopathic manipulation, acupuncture, chelation therapy,nutrition/herbal therapies, bio-identical hormones, high dose intravenous vitamins and hydrogen peroxide, chelation,frequency specific micro-current, prolotherapy, bio-identical hormones, and detoxification protocols.
