They discuss how hard last year was, the Year of the Yin Wood Snake, what we should consider at the tail of the Snake year before the official shift into the Horse year, and what we can do to prepare before the Lunar, or Eastern, or Tibetan/Chinese New Year."

A groundbreaking discovery from Taiwan is bridging traditional medicine and modern science. Researchers at China Medical University have shown that acupuncture doesn’t just relieve pain—it can trigger stem cells to repair damaged organs naturally. Electroacupuncture at specific points, like ST36 (Zusanli) and GV20 (Baihui), stimulates the bone marrow to release mesenchymal stem cells into the bloodstream. These stem cells then travel to injured tissues, differentiate into organ-specific cells, and release healing factors.
Within 24 hours, stem cell levels in circulation increased by 300%, providing a measurable biological explanation for acupuncture’s therapeutic effects—beyond placebo. Stroke patients treated with electroacupuncture within 48 hours recovered 40% better than those with standard care. Liver cirrhosis patients showed reduced fibrosis markers, while heart attack survivors experienced improved cardiac function.
This discovery is rewriting how Western medicine views acupuncture. For thousands of years, it was considered purely traditional, yet science now shows a sophisticated, measurable mechanism for healing. Ancient practices are finally being validated through modern imaging and cellular tracking, revealing that needle stimulation can activate the body’s own repair systems.
The message is clear: acupuncture is more than sensation—it’s a biological trigger for regeneration, showing how centuries-old practices can integrate with cutting-edge science.

Mend IS Modern Healthcare.

Why come to Mend and not your General Practitioner? Because Mend bridges the gap between Eastern and Western Medicine for you and your entire family by becoming a liaison between ALL of your doctors. As a Primary Care Provider, Mend will treat you through Eastern Medical modalities and serve as a liaison with all of your western health care providers. Mend aims to keep you from needing western medications or more invasive treatments and interventions, but is here to guide you when it is necessary to go that route. Stacy Lauren-Kon is highly skilled at treating people of all ages, has advanced certification in Medical Pediatric Diagnosis, PTSD, and menopause.

Mend IS Modern Healthcare.

In addition to Eastern Medicine (Acupuncture, Cupping, E-Stim, Traditional Herbal Formulas, Moxa, etc....), Mend also offers Functional Medicine (lab work, X-rays, supplements, Allergy Testing and Food Sensitivity Testing, Genetic Testing, etc....), similar to a General Practitioner. Mend also treats patients for pain management and rehabilitation after injuries very similar to Physical Therapy. Mend makes Eastern Medical diagnoses, treats, refers out to specialists and coordinates treatment to make sure you are getting the most comprehensive and top-notch healthcare possible.
