Freeing the Heart: Protection of the Hip and Shoulder Joints
As we continue with this current series of articles on Freeing The Heart, if we consider the basic physiology of the human circulatory system, it seems evident that when the heart and lungs reach full expansion with a minimum of resistance, the heart will eject more blood and at a greater velocity.
There Are No Secrets: Treating Complicated Conditions with TCM
Including standardized extra points, there are just over 400 acupuncture points on the body. You get 400 and I get 400 - same. Yet, time and time again treatment protocols are coveted as if they were some secret formula only intended for the right and privileged.

The Gall Bladder is known as The Official of Decision Making and Judgment. In any given day, this Official makes countless decisions – conscious and unconscious, which influence every aspect of our being.

Creating Lucrative Private Retreats that Heal You and Your Clients
Imagine that you've just wrapped up your most profitable day ever, leaving your treatment room with a check in hand for $1,500. How many clients would you have to see to earn that much in a day? Fifteen at $100 a session? Ten at $150? Six at $250?
Adventitious Tissue Structures of Elevated Tissue Density
A 12-year-old boy was brought into my clinic complaining of pain in his right heel, which impaired his ability to participate in sports, even to walk normally.
