Our high health care costs today would have been unimaginable in the 1950s. Does anyone remember the days when doctor visits actually cost $3? That’s all my mother paid when I was in grade school.
Here is an interesting piece on the evolution of health care in our country.

As health care costs continue to rise, the best way to avoid these high costs is to get and stay as healthy as you can by eating a healthy diet, exercise, finding ways to de-stress and, of course, get acupuncture treatment.
Does anyone remember the days when doctor visits actually cost $3?
Have you ever considered what it costs you in time and money to when you get and are unable to be as productive at your job as you would like to be? How much time does it take out of your life when you become ill and have to keep visiting the doctor or even stays in the hospital?
Having to take regular medications, which are sometimes very expensive medicines is another high cost of health care. Many chronic illnesses can sometimes be managed with dietary changes and adding vitamins and herbs instead of costly medicines. This is not always the case, for sure, but sometimes it is and you will not experience the side effects of the medications.
Getting acupuncture treatments to become and stay healthy is the best investment you can make for your health. Acupuncture is your “wellness insurance.”
What do arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, colitis, dermatitis have in common? The all end in “itis,” which means inflammation. In my 28 years of practice and 35 years of studying and learning about alternative health and how food affects our health and our bodies, personally, I believe that the foods we put into our bodies is the number one contributor to inflammation. Every body is different, has different genes and different tolerances for the foods we eat.
Allergies can be quite miserable to deal with day in and day out. Acupuncture alone can be very effective at reducing allergy symptoms and reactions by getting the body more in balance and strengthening the immune system. There is an all natural allergy relief protocol that combines muscle testing (kinesiology), holding a small vial of a homeopathic representation of the allergen and using specific acupuncture points that desensitizes the person to offending allergen. This system works quite well for most people.
Studies show that stress can cause all kinds of physical ailments, including irritability, high blood pressure, trouble concentrating, insomnia, increase or decrease in appetite, and inflammation throughout the body, and inflammation is the root cause of many diseases.
