Ignore Swine Flu Hysteria: 5 Reasons NOT to get The Swine Flu Vaccine . . . and 5 Things You Can Do To Promote Health During Flu Season

Thank you for this article, Christopher. I am in support of your writings, and will pass this forward to my patients. I believe in this, like you said, it's best to treat the whole person keeping the immune system strong, improving patient education, focusing on nutrition and sleep, lowering stress, getting adequate exercise and maintaining good hygiene. Other symptoms that come up can most often be addressed well with acupuncture and Oriental medicine.

Why Hatha Yoga Is The Friend of the Mystic

Why Hatha Yoga Is The Friend of the Mystic

Posted using ShareThis

Thank you for the article, Max, and for continuing to teach with grace. You are a very good writer as well. I particularly liked, "when people are in pain, they become self-centered and myopic. When people heal, they become more empathetic, self-less, and sympathetic to the pain and welfare of others". As such, I see this with patients coming to our holistic medical center, Lotus East-West Medical Center, in Santa Monica, California ( www.lotusew.com ). As people heal, their eyes open to see there is a world all around them.

I am working on it here in Los Angeles / Santa Monica. Will take some time, but hoping to expand Acupuncture in to hospital settings. Stay tuned.

Oriental Medicine Treats Rosacea

Here's three good explanatory sites on treating rosacea with Oriental medicine. I enjoyed reading these, and have found acupuncture and Oriental medicine to be a comprehensive combo for treating this and many other skin conditions.

2. TCM for Rosacea - http://www.vitalitymagazine.com/tcm_for_rosacea
