Ashwagandha is an extract of the herb also known as Withania somnifera, the king of the tonic – or vitality increasing herbs – in Ayurvedic or traditional Indian Medicine. This herb is native to India and the Mediterranean. In Sanskrit, ashwagandha has the meaning, horse smell. This not only refers to the smell of the herb, but also its ability to give you the strength and vitality of a horse or “herb with the strength of 10 horses.”

  Did you know that approximately 30% of the U.S. population suffers from uncomfortable bouts of digestive problems, such as bloating, food sensitivities, and constipation? One common cause of this…

The pHarma / government / mainstream media cabal has a clear goal: unlimited forced vaccination for the entire population. How could such an outcome be imaginable? How could we knowingly give up our parental rights, informed consent and personal sovereignty, by making an entire class of drugs mandatory, with no freedom of choice?

The justification offered, for this particular form of medical fascism, is herd, or “community” immunity. One of the primary US government/pHarma propaganda websites, www.vaccines.gov, says this: “When a critical portion of a community is immunized against a contagious disease, most members of the community are protected against that disease because there is little opportunity for an outbreak. Even those who are not eligible for certain vaccines—such as infants, pregnant women, or immunocompromised individuals—get some protection because the spread of contagious disease is contained. This is known as ‘community immunity’.”

A free consultation is a wonderful way to connect with a potential patient, and market your practice in a professional and ethical way. In-office or phone consultations demonstrating qualities of caring, patience and understanding make you a practitioner who attracts clients who resonate with your purpose and approach, instead of one just working to lure them in. Let’s look specifically at how and why to use free consultations to grow and expand your practice.

One of the most important moments in your practice is the initial phone call. As an old business maxim states, “You don’t get a second chance to make a good first impression.”

When I started practice, the phone was not a high priority. I quickly discovered that being unprepared for an initial phone call sabotages potential appointments. In the 24 years since, I’ve developed several key steps to a good introductory call.

The endocrine, or hormonal, system is the most powerful control system in the human body. The breadth and depth of its action is only rivaled by the microbiome – our bacterial reality that establishes our physical unity with all life on earth.

The endocrine system is made up of ductless glands that produce hormones. These hormones are messengers, signals or “cellular directors” that affect cells throughout the body. Hormones affect or regulate every tissue, organ and system in the bodymind. They must be balanced to activate the body’s powerful systems of repair and self-healing.

One evening many years ago, as I was driving from Kew Gardens to Syosset to teach a class in Chinese medicine theory at my alma mater, the New York College of Health Professions, I was listening to National Public Radio. The interviewer was speaking with the head of the Department of Oncology (cancer) at Stonybrook University Hospital. He asked, “Isn’t cancer genetic? Don’t you get cancer because it’s in your genes to get it?” Much to his surprise, the oncologist replied, “5-10% of cancer is genetic. The rest is lifestyle choices.” There was a rare moment of talk radio silence as the stunned interviewer absorbed what he just heard, from a remarkably credible source. He even asked the good doctor to repeat what he had just said, so shocking were its implications.
