Both need to avoid iron overload – a condition that can occur from the buildup of iron that may lead to… Read More

Stay Healthy With Clove and Cinnamon Essential Oils
My patients like to tell me about ‘home remedies’ passed down from parents and grandparents – many of them that contain kitchen spices – 2 in particular, cinnamon and cloves. I have my own memories of holding boiled clove water on a recently extracted tooth that developed a dry socket. The mixture took away the pain and kept the area clean until I could get into the dentist the following Monday. Many common kitchen spices have been formulated as ‘therapeutic” or “food grade” essential oils… Read More

Hands On/Off Energy Medicine Part II
HEALING WITH ENERGY MEDICINE – PART II In Part I we talked about the type of Energy Medicine that can be scientifically quantified and observed, Veritable Energy Medicine.

How Oxygen Benefits Your Health
Often times my patients laugh when I tell them that breathing correctly is one of the most important things they can do for their immune system. Their response is often ‘well, gees, yeah, if I don’t breathe, I’ll stop living!’ All joking aside, optimal breathing gives you optimal oxygen intake.
