Many have found great benefits and healing through using herbs and supplements.  Acupuncture is only one part of the solution treating from the outward in.  Chinese medicine, supplements along with food therapy treats from the inside out.  This will help with regeneration and allow the patient to get better quicker.    

The first mention of herbs in the Bible is in Genesis 1:29.  "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." (KJV)  Even specific herbs are mentioned in the Bible such as garlic, aloe, hyssop and wormwood.  These are some of the herbs I prescribe to my patients for a variety of treatments.  Not only are herbs important but also our food can be used medicinally.   

Hippocrotes once said "Let food be your medicine and your medicine be your food."  Many of us suffer from nutritional deficiencies.  Nutritional deficiencies occur when the body lacks essential nutrients (eg. macronutrients like protein, fat, carbohydrate, or micronutrients like vitamins and minerals ) that are obtained from food. That means every day our bodies require a certain amount of vitamins and minerals in order to function properly.  If we lack those nutrients in one day then we are considered deficient.  We would need to make up those nutrients in order for our bodies to be nourished.  Nutritional deficiencies are responsible for a variety of conditions.  Conditions such a Crohn's disease, Malabsorption syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and digestive issues.  Even some emotional disorders like anxiety, depression and manic depression are linked to having a deficiency in minerals.  Minerals work on the nervous system and help the body both physically and emotionally.  Lately in the media a lot of attention is given to vitamin D deficiency.  Doctors are now testing regularly for this.     

Acu Pointe Healing Therapies now tests patients for nutritional deficiencies and offers easy to follow protocols and food therapies.  Getting the proper nutrition daily can make a world of difference for someone who is suffering.  Call today to find out how NRT can help you have a better quality of life.

We had a lot of fun the other evening at Back in Line Chiropractic.  I was able to share with a group of people the benefits of acupuncture and Oriental medicine.  Those who showed up receive gift certificates and discounts.  We are offering specials from now until the end of summer.  New patients can receive $20 off their first treatment.  Anyone who is interested in trying Nutrition Response Testing (TM) can try it for only $25. That is a $20 savings.  It is only $15 when you schedule it with your acupuncture visit.  We are getting great results from using this test and protocol.  Many are have a lot of great things to say.  If anyone would like to submit a testimony please let me know or email me at the link below.
