 Enhance
Bone Health and Prevent Osteoporosis
By
Daoshing Ni, D.O.M, L.Ac., Ph.D,
Dipl.C.H.
Today, the
increasing aging population in the United States
has brought the issue of bone loss into greater
focus. As we grow older, the loss of bone
density is a natural aging occurrence. The issue
becomes a problem only when a person loses too
much bone density or has an accelerated bone
loss that can potentially increase the odds of
fractures and shorten one’s life span.

 Chinese
Herbs for the Mind: Remedies for
Depression, Anxiety, Insomnia, and Psychosis
By Joel Harvey Schreck, L.Ac.
In China before the
mid- twentieth century, all mental illnesses
were treated pretty much exclusively with herbal
medicine. Since doctors and hospitals keep
records, there is plenty of historical evidence
suggesting that such treatments were often
successful.

 A
Multifaceted Integrative Approach to Healing Chronic Pancreatitis
Prepared by Craig M. Cormack, B.A., R.M.T.
A 49-year-old male patient diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis was
treated with a combination of a healthy diet, Tuina Massage (Chinese
Massotherapy), Chi Kung meditation, and herbs and supplements over a
60-week period. The treatment resulted in no further attacks, a
significant reduction of pancreatic inflammation, and dissipation of an
internal blockage in the pancreas. The success of the treatment provides
hope for individuals suffering from chronic pancreatitis.

 ASK THE DOCTOR
Q:
I have a
white coating on my tongue and a really bad taste in my mouth. People turn
their heads when I talk, so I know I have bad breath. Some say it’s my
digestion system & others think it’s my mouth. Would you have any
suggestions? It’s really embarrassing and is starting to impact my social
life. I have seen my doctor & dentist but they are not able to help me!
A:
The gums and the mouth are an
extension of the digestive system
and according to Chinese medicine
they represent the condition of the
stomach. Gum disease as well as bad
breath is caused from excess heat in
the stomach. The heat is often
combined with accumulation of food
and dampness. The white sticky
coating on the tongue is a
representation of the dampness in
your system.
