Mastering the Mind of the Body with Julie Motz
submitted by: admin on 10/10/2013
In Chinese medicine the liver meridian runs through the knee and so does anger. Repetitive anger wears on the knee. The meaning of emotions and why they developed needs to be worked out. Working out how it feels when one wins and loses is a great way to begin the healing exploration. The hidden emotional agendas need to be worked out before healing can begin.

MDs Fail to Order Screening Tests
submitted by: admin on 11/25/2024
In an article published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine in 2012 it was determined that MDs are not ordering preventive screening tests very often.

submitted by: admin on 10/10/2013
A Bastyr University study showed that patients with type 2 diabetes who were being followed by MDs did better in controlling blood sugar levels when they received naturopathic care over 6 months.

submitted by: admin on 10/11/2013

Medical Buzz Words Signal Economic Take Over
submitted by: admin on 10/11/2013
When the buzz words of medical practice change, they reflect a change in how it works. Today's medicine now looks at hospitals as factories and office visits as economic transactions. Patients are no longer patients but consumers or customers. Doctors and nurses are considered providers.
