Maria Choy, MD Neurological care based on Integration of Western Medicine, Acupuncture, Homeopathy and Nutrition.

Board certified and New York trained neurologist, Dr. Maria Choy, is not your average American-trained doctor. She graduated from Boston University with accelerated BA/MD degrees in six years in 1984 and went on to do her internship, residency and fellowship at various prestigious New York Metropolitan Area Hospitals, including Harlem Hospital of Columbia University, the Albert Einstein Affiliated Hospitals in the Bronx, and Hospital for Special Surgery affiliated with Cornell Medical School. After years of using cutting edge technology to evaluate and treat her patients with the latest Western techniques (which she continues to use), she pursued international training programs in Complementary Medicine. Returning to her ethnic roots, she learned acupuncture from the American College of Acupuncture & the New York Acupuncture Society, 1994-95 and completed her clinical studies at Beijing and Shanghai in 1995. Not satisfied with only an Eastern paradigm of acupuncture, she acquired additional training at the UCLA School of Medicine in 1997 in order to be able to compare both approaches and choose from the best of both acupuncture worlds. While in China, she was told by her teachers that her acupuncture training would not be complete without additional training in Qigong. When she asked how to find such a teacher, she was told that, with her natural abilities, she will recognize the right teacher when she met him. After searching for nine years, Dr. Choy then met Dr. Effie Chow (who is not a “him” but a “her”!!!) of the East West Academy of Healing Arts, and has hence been learning Qigong from one of the most respected Grandmasters in this country. Dr. Maria Choy is one of the first American-trained doctors to assimilate Western medicine, with Eastern acupuncture, Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine Principles (treating body, mind, and spirit) in her everyday clinical practice. Because nutrition and life style changes are paramount in the affecting permanent change, Dr. Choy also finished her training as Health Counselor with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in affiliation with Columbia University in 2007. True to her own advice of always learning something new in order to remain young, Dr. Choy embarked on a completely new field of training with the Center for Education and Development of Clinical Homeopath in 2010-11 and has been successfully using homeopathy as yet another tool in her quest to relief the discomforts of patients who suffer from side effects of conventional treatments.

This is how I started “programming”: on punch cards. Then they called it coding. Now we have AI prompts. We can create agents that these prompts call upon to do the work. As i learn to create agents, i realize that if i can create an algorithm for how i arrive at my highly intuitive medical decisions, i could actually clone myself, even create an image acting on my behalf, making the decisions I would have made … and no one would know it was not me! Alas, do not fret. Though i might create this just to proof I can, ethics dictates that i should put a watermark on the AI generated image. But not everyone is ethical out there. Be careful what you believe. However, do not dwell in fear just because the bounda of reality is bluering. Fear inhibits our natural intuition. Dwell in love instead: it augments our intuition to help us make the distinction

Increasing evidence suggests that COVID-19 positive people experience long-term cardiovascular complications possibly through development of vascular damage. The study aimed to investigate whether accelerated vascular ageing occurs after COVID-19 infection. They concluded that COVID-19 is associated with early vascular aging in the long term, especially in women. Based on this study, I recommend regular Covid 19 residual marker check up and early vascular evaluation with your cardiologist followed intervention if indicated in order to avoid seeing me for stroke complications due to vascular disease. Since The vaccine also shows up with same positive Covid test, until more studies are available, I would manage vaccinated patient with persistent positive Covid 19 test the same way. In this study, they tested for Covid 19 antibody and did not separate vaccinated from unvaccinated who developed Covid. Therefore, I cannot draw a proper conclusion as to risk for each group

Chickens are just like people: given identical circumstances, some will eat healthy, lay orange yoke eggs, and live long and healthy lives. Others will wait for the grain uaed to bring all the hens home and never forage for healthy food resulting in pale yokes, sickly looking feathers and lower life expectancies. Guess which eggs were laid by my lazy hens vs my working hens!

Feet issues will affect your entire skeletal system and be a source of hip pains, lumbar pains, even meck pains as your body compensates. Western treatments are of limited relief for chronic pain, often accompanied by side effects such as dopeyness, kidney problems, stomach issues etc. Acupuncture can improve your neuropathy or arthritic pain without side effects and with improvement of balance and posture resulting in long term improved health. It could even help cardiovascular health if you use your better base and increase exercise!!! Or even just take daily walks in the park. Call for a consultation 732-591-5888. Look at my credentials www.mariachoy.com Do your research. Many local acupuncturists are trained 1.5 days per week for 3 yrs, with or without a science background, and are qualified to practice in NJ

Most people think foot pain is just a foot problem.

But it’s not.

Your feet are your foundation, and when that foundation collapses, it sends shockwaves up your entire body.

If your foot rolls in (pronation), your hip drops forward. If your foot rolls out (supination), your weight shifts to the outside edge. In both cases, your pelvis twists, your spine compensates, your neck strains, and you start to live in dysfunction without realizing it.

But when the foot is weak or poorly coordinated, your nervous system stops trusting it.

This creates a cascade of problems throughout your kinetic chain.
The solution isn’t stretching or strengthening individual muscles.

It’s retraining your body’s control system to send clear signals again.
Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ sensory input (feet, eyes, jaw) → 2️⃣ brain processing →
3️⃣ motor output →
4️⃣ automatic posture correction

When your brain gets clear, coordinated signals from all three systems, your posture corrects itself naturally.

Everything above your ankle is trying to survive what’s happening below it.
The only real fix is to retrain the sensory system in your foot so your brain starts trusting your foundation again. That means improving proprioception not bracing it with rigid arch supports that make the problem worse.

That’s why I created the 5-Minute Posture Fix, to help you reverse this collapse at the source by teaching you how to wake up dormant systems and rebuild stability from the ground up.

Metabolic syndrome consists of Obesity, Insulin resistance, hypertension and high cholesterol. This combination increases the risk of developing a neurodegenerative disease: Parkinson's, especially if there is a genetic predisposition. Therefore, any management of PD should include diet and exercise plan to slow down progression of the disease. Another application is if there is a strong family history, expression of PD might be averted by managing metabolic syndrome early. In our office we manage metabolic syndrome with a combination of acupuncture, diet and lifestyle changes. Make an appointment and find out what we do differently.

This post highlights the flaws in using AI for research and Berberine for weight loss. If you ask AI if Berberine can cause muscle loss, you get a qualified “no”. If you ask how it causes muscle loss, it gives you a clear mechanism for it but then tries to explan it away. AI summarizes from public info which is frequently muddled by pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies hawking their products. You need to understand the science in order to assess the information

This article discusses the development of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), a type of cancer affecting the lymphatic system, shortly after receiving an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. The authors describe the patient’s case and review other similar reports in medical literature. They explore whether there could be a link between the vaccine and NHL.

If you do a literature search in Med Pub, you will also find case of lymphoma undergoing PET prior to chemo followed by vaccine and the 9 days later, repeat PET scan showing turbo progression of cancer. Many similar reports are listed; I have not read them all.

Temporal association does not prove causation but certainly brings up enough concerns for further research before mRNA vaccine is recommended and, certainly, it should never be mandated. Such a risk should be a personal choice after informed consent
