This antibiotic will ruin you.
I have long believed that antibiotics are being overprescribed and I always urge my patients to research which medications they are taking. If you ever have questions about any of your medications please talk to your pharmacist, doctor, or at the least search online. My patients are always welcome to ask me about the medications that they are taking. Here’s a cautionary tale about one persons experience with a prescribed medication. https://mountainsandmustardseedssite.wordpress.com/2017/03/18/this-antibiotic-will-ruin-you/
Acupuncture for headache - Harvard Health Blog
Acupuncture is often looked at as placebo reserved for Patchouli drenched hippies suffering from backaches as a result of too many hours in a sweat lodge. Maybe I’m exaggerating, but sometimes I feel like people are hearing me confess to subscribing to a cult mindset when I tell them that I’m a Doctor of Oriental Medicine. The good news is there are new scientific studies coming out all the time that are proving the efficacy of Acupuncture. Most importantly these studies are following sound scientific procedures and monitored clinical trials including placebo acupuncture as a control. Here is a link to an article from Harvard about one of these great studies discussing how acupuncture is a viable and effective treatment for headaches. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/acupuncture-for-headache-2018012513146 With data like this Sandals may become taboo in Acupuncture!

Former JAMA editor becomes a pitch man for acupuncture
As a Doctor of Oriental Medicine I feel an immense amount of pride when I am able to relieve the pain of a person who is suffering. I will also admit that I am very proud of the times that I can make a skeptic into a believer, especially when that includes removing heavy medications from their lives. But the real “Hat Trick” is when the person who you convert into an advocate for acupuncture is a respected MD and editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Dr. Lundberg was not a patient of mine but his story is a good one, and it unfortunately illustrates some of the hurdles that are placed between acupuncture and the people that we can help.
