Chinese medicine provides help for various medical conditions, by supporting all aspects of the human body--physical, mental and emotional.

Chinese medicine works through the concept of bringing the body back to a homeostatic state through a system which recognizes various states of imbalance. Chinese medicine encompasses both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine and has been in existence for more than 2,500 years.
Since the West has also begun to embrace alternative kinds of healing therapies, Chinese medicine has become an accepted medical modality in most of the United States recognizing the wide spectrum of diseases that are treatable via this aspect of alternative medicine.
Many conditions respond to the application of the whole body balancing techniques that Chinese medicine provides. Often practitioners of Chinese medicine have general practices, whereas others may choose to specialize, even though they are still taking an holistic approach to the human body.
The most important aspect of Chinese medicine is the ability to not only treat disease but to promote HEALTH. There is a big difference between not being sick and being healthy, Chinese medicine can help optimize your health and well being--helping you become the best that you can be.

As everyone is trying so hard to avoid getting the flu it is not uncommon to be reaching for hand sanitizer. Some go the extra mile and get the natural versions instead of the chemical ones.

Although in our schools, hand sanitizer is an every day item. 

Personally, I cringe at the use of either the chemical or natural versions because there is so much more to our immune systems than sanitizing germs off of our body. This is great research arguing just that point. Please read this, it is so important!

The Dr. Annie Thiel Radio show is a new and interesting talk show covering various subject matter. Dr. Thiel is a highly esteemed therapist having spent her life-time dedicated to adults and children and their families.

She has featured Boaz as a guest speaker on her show so that he could share his experience with children and illness from the Chinese medicine point of view-how children physically manifest their emotional pain.

His appearances are on Monday nights, and if you want to catch last week, here is the link:

with Dr. Jay Gordon. We too have seen many cases of confirmed swine flu and many we think are swine flu and treated them all very effectively! Please read his response to a recent Peachhead2 post on the subject:

Featured Boaz Brizman as a guest speaker last night. The subject was the somatization of the emotional effects in children of divorce. This is a very tender and important subject. So many little ones suffer emotionally and consequently-physically due to divorce or parental discord.

Boaz discussed the connections between emotional changes and organ response as we view it in Chinese medicine and briefly discussed the various ways in which these kinds of imbalances may manifest in the body and how they may be approached. He further illustrated how often Chinese medicine may offer a way in which to look at otherwise seemingly fragmented symptoms
and tie them together so that the child's health may be managed in the fullest sense. 

He has been invited to speak again. So, stay tuned in so you won't miss it:)

We are not taking a stand pro or anti vaccine, simply reporting some challenges with them. There are many ways in which to keep the body healthy-vaccines are only one of them-presumably.

Yes, there are risks with any kind of medical procedure-but how would you feel if this was your child?

For those of you who come here you know how often we recommend olive oil (not for high heat cooking though, except in certain circumstances)

Olive oil tastes great and is very healthy. This article is a great one to illustrate its healthful benefits: http://www.naturalnews.com/025290_olive_oil_cancer_polyphenols.html
