What is Acupuncture Energetics? This system is a dynamic synergy of therapeutic modalities, which compliment each other and enhance the healing process. The core of the work is classical five-element acupuncture with its emphasis on the person and our connection with nature as a whole system. It includes various types of acupressure, cupping, and guasha, Thai and lymph massage as well as herbal medicine. Another modality is coreSomatics, a powerful system of psychophysical re-education. This is combined with other techniques that allow our bodies to talk to us, which bring together mind, body, emotions and spirit in a trusting whole. Acupuncture_Energetics.html
Einstein said, "Creativity is more important than knowledge." Even if we have the world's knowledge at our fingertips, if we are too stressed out to use the knowledge "creatively,” we are much less effective. Plus, we're not as much fun! The bottom line is T'ai Chi is a set of exercises to practice enjoying life. It's not enough just to say, "I'm going to enjoy life more." We actually have to practice mind/body tools that can positively affect our brain wave activity, in an integrative way, as T'ai Chi is proven to do. Tai_Chi_and_Qi_Gong.html
HEAVY METALS AND OTHER NEURO-TOXINS Many micro-organisms create bio-toxins, which injure the nervous system. Heavy metals lead to an overgrowth of microbes. Mercury is the most lethal of all heavy metals. It not only attacks the nerve cells directly but also sets up our internal terrain for overgrowth of many harmful organisms that cause degenerative diseases.Heavy_Metals.html
Biological Medicine - incorporates both conventional and alternative medical practices to stimulate, balance and restore one's own healing mechanisms. It's a unique holistic form of medicine founded in Germany in the 1950's asserting that the body and mind can repair and regenerate if the right support is provided. The purpose of Biological Medicine is to identify the key blockages to repair, to develop strategies to remove them and provide the essential herbal, nutritional, homeopathic or energetic modalities to detoxify and rebuild. Assessment and treatment often involves combining biological sciences with ancient therapies such as Chinese medicine, Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Pleomorphism and European traditions of natural and anthroposophical medicine as well as evaluation techniques that utilize the Autonomic Nervous System.

Protocol to Prevent Jet Lag: Jet lag occurs when we break our body’s alignment with the earth’s magnetic field. Our meridians are in tune with the magnetic field and meridians of the earth through the circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm describes the way the energy moves from one meridian to the next along the superficial (Wei) circulation of energy. We call it the Chinese clock. Prevent_Jet_Lag.html

OIL PULLING

One very effective, simple method to detoxify and safely bind and clear toxins is an ancient method called “oil pulling.” This process can help with most toxins, as most are fat soluble (lipophilic) and can be pulled into the fat and out of the body through the process of chewing oil. This process is especially recommended for those working with petroleum solvents and chemicals, like auto mechanics and truck drivers, gas drillers, painters, metal smiths, welders, hair dressers and nail specialists. However, this is beneficial for all of us, especially during allergy season, to clear the mucous from sinus and throat.

"According to Ayurvedic medicine,” Deepak Chopra says, “mucous is a poison that must be removed. The oil pulls all mucous, bacteria and toxins from your body through your saliva." We are also stimulating every part of the body, as all the meridians pass through the mouth, and all the teeth have associations with various organs, glands and tissues. Perhaps more important and why it is so effective for cleansing is that the entire blood supply passes through the mouth every 15 minutes. (Google Dr. Karach for more information on Pulling Oil.)

This is such a simple, easy and inexpensive treatment that can eliminate many conditions of illness. Directions:

On an empty stomach, take One Tablespoon of high quality extra virgin or expeller pressed oil (may be olive, sunflower, sesame or coconut oil) ideally in the morning, although it can be done when convenient or more than once. For some of us 2 teaspoons may be all we can hold. My preference is 2 teaspoon of expeller pressed raw Sesame oil.

Chew without effort or speed, pulling through the teeth, moving the jaw, for 15 minutes. If you’re short on time that morning 5 or 10 minutes is better than none.

The saliva will come into the mouth and the oil will foam.

After a while the oil will thin and become white and chewing will be easier. This is a great way to release stress in the jaw.

Go about your morning routine. This is a good time to do some simple exercises or a tapping routine.

After 15 minutes, spit out the oil. Be sure not to swallow.

After spitting out the oil, be sure to cleanse thoroughly. Rinse the mouth several times, then brush teeth and tongue once with toothpaste, and brush teeth with baking soda. Clean out the sink also, as the liquid has many harmful bacteria and toxic materials, even mercury from amalgam fillings. Baking soda can be used on teeth and to clean the sink.

This is also a great treatment to whiten the teeth and heal gum disease.
