If you have had an AcuGraph analysis at the clinic, I’ve already taught you the basics. Since teaching is my passion, let me teach you another layer. 

Every acupuncture pathway is also associated with a season. Since fall is only about 30 days away, let’s take a quick look ahead—and I’ll teach you how to prepare.

David is a pharmacist. He’s 60 years old and has had asthma since he was a child. When he was a kid, he had multiple bouts of pneumonia which led to one of his lungs not functioning properly. During his childhood and teen years, he had to use an inhaler almost daily. As an adult he progressed to needing a nebulizer 2-3 times per day.

Well, here he is in 2022—still surviving on one lung. David is now a COVID survivor—but unfortunately the after-effects of the virus really took a toll on his health…

Middle age. It’s that bridge between your younger years and your older years—when you have learned a few life lessons, your career is a little more established, perhaps you have a little more money to play with, and maybe a little more time because you kids are grown.

One evening, Teresa was relaxing in her living room with her feet up, reading the newspaper. She paused to look up over the edge of the paper, and realized that her cat was licking her toes…. She didn’t FEEL the cat licking at her toes. She SAW the cat licking her toes.

Teresa could NOT feel the cat licking her toes because the nerves in her feet were dying. Her Peripheral Neuropathy
had progressed to a new stage. Numbness.

Not being able to feel your cat lick your toes may not seem like a big dea…

“It was months after recovering from Covid… 
I should have gotten my energy back. I should have been feeling better. But I wasn’t.”

Let me tell you about Jill...

It’s a complicated list of chronic conditions which seem to linger and multiply over time. In fact, some long haulers experience a variety of symptoms for weeks, months, or even over a year, with no real explanation as to why.  For others, their symptoms go away, only to come back months later.

We have been successfully treating Long Hauler's Syndrome for more than a year now, Read about this young 30-something year old guy who was miserable. And now, he is NOT!
