HOWEVER, common sense and TCM tell me that you can seriously compromise your immune system by doing any or all of these things. So stay warm, dry your hair, wear a scarf, and wash your hands so you are a formidable foe to the virus.

It's actually really interesting.

I am very much enjoying the YoQi videos on YouTube. Marissa does a great job and I highly recommend her YoQi Qigong for Beginners video if you've never done QiGong before.

Patients often ask me what I’m looking for when I examine the tongue. Here is a good synopsis!

After a few hours foraging amongst the pines on Craggy Misty Mountain, Shen Nong enquired half an hour after a midday snack.....

My take on the Keto Diet: I know I am in the medical field and have had more nutrition training than the average Joe Blow, but common sense should tell you that this is an insane fad diet. Yesteryear everyone stayed away from fats, now its carbs, in 20 years it’ll be protein, and each time after a few years into the fad, the health problems surface and the experts admit (or not) that they were wrong. The Chinese developed an incredible and intricate knowledge of food as me...dicine. Whole, clean grains and other complex carbs are essential to the functioning of the earth element (digestion). When digestion suffers, virtually everything else does. The keto diet is a dangerous fad and not sustainable long term. Unfortunately, most westerners and western practitioners would never pick up on the connection to digestive health and mental health, immunity, liver/lung/kidney function etc. When the digestion is weak it is difficult to maintain homeostasis. And since every person is different, what goes awry in one person may not go awry in another. It is easy for me to tell a vegan based on the pathology of their presentation. I feel sure a person on the keto diet long term will develop an equally recognizable pathological presentation, from the perspective of an acupuncturist. MHO. Take it or leave it. See more

Well well well. Whattya know? The Kidneys, Bones, Marrow, and Fear. I continue to be awed by the depth and detailed understanding of human physiology taught by Chinese medical practitioners thousands of years ago.
