From The Editor

From the Editor:

 

Cheers all and happy end of the week.  Before we start I'd like to take this opportunity to send out the biggest and best birthday wishes to our good friend Dr. Michael McCoy.  I won't call out any numbers but I will say that Michael is older than God today.  I encourage every one of his friends to send him a note and tease him about his advanced age today!

 

I had a happy weekend last weekend.  I managed to get out and away for the first time in a dog's age.  I've been trying to take a mini-break for about 4-5 months and finally got it this weekend.  And I think it ended up being a great thing for my confidence and general mental well-being.  I finally managed to get my first birdie in a game of golf without any cheating (no mulligans or do-overs).  I felt like I could take on the world.  Still do.

 

So I guess my advice for you all is to do something amazing you didn't think you could ever accomplish because this seems to be the time to get that stuff done.  I'd suggest sending a beautifully worded nasty-gram to anyone that seriously calls acupuncture "quack medicine"and try to get them to see some kind of reason.  But that may be shooting for the stars.  But you never know.

 

Good luck in your endeavors and please let me know if you have results whatever you attempt to do!

 

Cheers

The Coaching Corner...
Where Spiritual Wisdom
Meets Business Common Sense

"The gem cannot be polished without friction,
nor man perfected without trials."
~ Chinese proverb

Greetings Dear Ones,

I am off on holiday for two weeks and I wanted to share something that I feel is a very important happening.

An Acupreneur just invested in one year of private coaching.

Now this might not seem like a big deal to you...and that is only because you don't know my fees for private coaching and you also don't know that I have a 6 month waiting list for private coaching clients...but it is a big deal to this person, me and the profession.

You see, it marks a huge shift in the realization that we all need help in order to make major shifts in our lives!

Starting this September, I will be offering the Acupreneur and Acupuncture community group coaching.  If you are interested I suggest applying for a spot.

Anyone who wants to join the group coaching program needs to be a member of the Acupreneur because you will need access to that information.

Your application does not guarantee you a spot.  This is a first come, first served basis and is  based on your readiness for coaching.

Here is what you will receive during the group coaching process:

1. 2 group coaching calls per month.

2. Email support from me on Tuesdays through Thursdays, except when I am away.

3. Weekly Work Out log to check and evaluate your progress.

Click here to fill out your application.

Very best,

Dr. E

Quotes to Inspire

"A non-doer is very often a critic-that is, someone who
sits back and watches doers, and then waxes philosophically
about how the doers are doing. It's easy to be a critic,
but being a doer requires effort, risk, and change."
~ Dr. Wayne W. Dyer



"The person who gets the farthest is generally
the one who is willing to do and dare.
The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore."
~ Dale Carnegie



""Everyone who got where he is has had to begin where he was."
~ Robert Louis Stevenson



"Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully."
~ Zig Ziglar

Who else wants to know how to fill their
practice by UTILIZING their spiritual
values instead of compromising them?

Have you ever thought to yourself, "This has to be easier, it can't be this hard!"

 

Well you are not alone, there are thousands of practitioners out there who feel the same way you do and are struggling with the same challenges you are!

And that is why I wrote this book - to help you take the guesswork out of filling your practice and offer you a step-by-step method for filling it based on what is important to you with quality patients and clients.


You can purchase and download your copy of "Fill Your Practice In 100 Days, But Don't Start Counting Just Yet" right now!   Click here for more information...

  News of Interest!    
 

  University's 'quackery' courses slammed - New science degrees in Chinese medicine on offer in Preston have been labelled "quackery" by a senior lecturer at the city's university.  From next month, the University of Central Lancashire will run the qualifications in herbal medicine and acupuncture in conjunction with the Northern College of Acupuncture.  But one member of staff has accused the university of running courses that would "severely damage" its reputation and have "no academic justification".



  LDL Cholesterol Associated With Cancer in Patients With Diabetes - Low levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, as well as high levels, are associated with cancer in patients with type 2 diabetes, according to a study published in the August issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal.



  Acupuncture Therapy for Rape Victims - Rape victims in Alachua County now have the opportunity to seek therapy through acupuncture. According to the National Institute of Health and the World Health Organization, acupuncture is effective in treating post-traumatic symptoms. Victim Advocate Therapist, Linda Murray, says the program will also help survivors of rape. The Rape Crisis Trust Fund is sponsoring the twelve week program, which includes acupuncture and counseling for five women. Murray says this is the first time they are implementing the program. The program is being offered through the Alachua County Victim Services and Rape Crisis Center and women who are interested in learning more about this program should call (352) 264-6760.  For more on this subject see this story: Crisis clinic offers free acupuncture to rape victims


 
  Acupuncture for Psychiatric Illness: A Literature Review - The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is on the rise,1,2 with psychiatric patients, especially those diagnosed with disorders such as anxiety or depression, more likely to use CAM than are patients with nonpsychiatric illness.3,4 The ancient Chinese treatment of acupuncture incorporates the use of ultra-fine needles (diameter 0.15-0.30 mm), which are inserted into specific points on the skin (acupoints). Acupuncture is central to the treatment regimen of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), along with other manual therapies (eg, Tui Na, Chi Gong), herbal remedies, and nutritional and lifestyle changes. TCM promotes a holistic, energy- based approach to well-being, as opposed to the disease-oriented approach of Western (scientific) medicine. Both the US National Institutes of Health and British Medical Association recognize acupuncture as an effective treatment for many medical conditions,5,6 although for many in the medical profession, acupuncture and other CAM treatments remain enigmatic.



  Community Acupuncture made it on to NPR! Not in the Pacific Northwest for the most part, due to Republican convention coverage, but pretty much everywhere else. Marketplace, which is the program it aired on, keeps a pretty long archive, so people can still listen to it for a few months at least.
