From the Editor:
Happy Fourth of July everyone! What a happy day. Let's hope that your day is as good as it gets. And I hope you all enjoy a fireworks display this weekend. I tend to watch from very far away since the noise of the fireworks makes me feel like my heart is beating too fast. It's much nicer to sit on the other side of Puget Sound and watch the display in Seattle. But it is nice to have a day off once in a while. I hope that if you are taking the day for yourself to do something fun the weather cooperates and you have a spectacular time.
Thanks to everyone that wrote

Greetings Dear Ones,

Only a few spaces remain!
If you have not yet signed up for this year's GET YOUR YEAR IN GEAR you may miss out!
There is an old saying - when you fail to plan, you plan to fail - and this program is a great way to plan your 2009 so you have the best year yet.
Quite a while ago one of my coaches turned me on to a number of different strategies for managing my life and my work and from that came the "Get Your Year In Gear Program".

With preparation, planning and robust systems in place, you can have the work/life balance you have always wanted.
So don't just sit there. Take the action that will provide payoffs both in the present and in the future!
Click here for the Get Your Year in Gear Program...I look forward to seeing you there!
Very best,
Dr. E

and values are in balance."

News of Interest! Ontario Establishes New College Of Traditional Chinese
Medicine - McGuinty Government Helps Ensure Alternative Health Care Is Safe
- Ontario has appointed a 15-member transitional council to oversee the
practises and services of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and
acupuncturists. The first public meeting of the council was held June 26,
2008.
Local
doctor co-authors acupuncture study - As the study and public use of
acupuncture continues to increase, a local doctor wanted to separate the
effectiveness of "true" methods compared to false interventions. In order to
distinguish fact from fiction, Dr. Matthew Davis, a practicing chiropractor at
Grace Cottage Hospital in Townshend and a fellow in the International Academy of
Medical Acupuncture, led a review to determine if acupuncture can play a role in
the treatment of patients with tension-type headaches. Beyond Qigong: Stronger Remedies - Acupuncture has become more
than just the last thing you try to kick an addiction; it's a common remedy for
many conditions once treated exclusively by surgery or drugs. There are nearly
9,000 licensed acupuncturists in the U.S., up from 5,500 in 1992 - and some 200
insurance companies cover their services. No one knows exactly how acupuncture
works, but studies suggest that like vigorous exercise - or morphine - it
releases neuropeptides that fight pain.
Island herbalist preserves traditional Caribbean cures - For
years Dinah Veeris ignored the traditional Caribbean medicine of her native
Curacao, but while recovering from an operation she found only her mother's teas
eased her stomach pains. Casual chats with her mother about the herbs in her
garden turned into a five-year study of herbal medicine that took Veeris from
the island of Curacao through the mountains of nearby Aruba and Bonaire isles,
just north of Venezuela.
The Chinese approach to treating sinusitis - In the treatment
of sinusitis, points are selected, which directly affect the body's immune and
respiratory system. The treatment is intended to boost the body's natural
defence, preventing susceptibility to the many environmental elements, which may
trigger the flare up of sinus infections, all while supporting the respiratory
system and drying mucous in the
head.
Tiger Experts Welcome World Bank's Commitment to Tiger
Conservation - Lixin Huang, President of the American College of Traditional
Chinese Medicine (ACTCM) and Judy Mills, Board member of ACTCM and director of
the International Tiger Coalition (ITC), joined members of the international
conservation community and actors Harrison Ford and Bo Derek for an event at the
National Zoo in Washington, DC on June 9th. The event, sponsored by the World
Bank, was held to raise awareness about tiger conservation and to announce its
plan to undertake a global joint venture to help reverse the decline wild tigers
-- the first-ever species initiative by the World
Bank.
