Fascinating research. The Kidney is the sea of marrow so this makes sense!

A groundbreaking study from Wuhan University is turning everything we thought we knew about Parkinson’s disease upside down. Researchers now believe the disease may not start in the brain at all, but in the kidneys.
The study found abnormal clusters of alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) proteins, the same ones heavily linked to Parkinson’s, inside the kidneys of affected patients. These proteins are known to trigger neurological damage when they build up in the brain. However, in animal experiments, healthy kidneys successfully cleared these proteins. When kidney function was impaired, the α-Syn proteins began to travel to the brain, setting the stage for Parkinson’s.
Shockingly, even people with chronic kidney disease but no neurological symptoms were found to have α-Syn buildup. This discovery suggests the kidneys might act as an early “reservoir” for toxic proteins, which could later spread through the bloodstream or nerves and affect the brain.
Though early and based on limited data, this research could completely change how we understand and treat Parkinson’s. It raises the possibility that monitoring and protecting kidney health might one day help prevent or delay the onset of this devastating condition.

Very informative. Thanks for sharing Bex Groebner. This pertains to Oregon practitioners, but we are facing the same challenges in Washington.

In that spirit, acupuncture remains the only approach that integrates all categories of points within a holistic framework aimed at restoring balance across the whole body–mind–spirit system. But there should be room for all forms of point-based care. If we can work together across disciplines a...

Phew…. 😮‍💨 Happy Solstice Indeed! What a kick off to Summer. We had our annual Summer Solstice party and enjoyed the Fremont Fair this weekend with many of our friends. Friday we closed on our cabin 👏 ending that chapter of our lives. Time to focus on some home renovations. I’ve been making herbal medicinals, teaching and the clinic books are filling up for Summer which feels crazy! Just wanted to share some images so far of what we have been up to so far this Summer.

I love this time of year, the sun is shining, birds are chirping and everyone seems just a little bit lighter. We would love to know what you have been up to so far this Summer. If you haven’t been in for a while we would love to see you! You can schedule online or give us a call 360-209-2129. Hope everyone has had a great start to their Summer 🌈 ☀️
