 From The Editor
From the Editor:
Cheers all and sorry this a quick
message but I just realized my library movies are due today and I haven't
watched them yet. I can't always keep track which are 3 weeks and which
are one. So I'm about to sit down with a big bowl of popcorn and try to
relive a little of my childhood with the first seaon of The Muppet Show. I
think I'll need a few more pillows on the floor. And it'll totally have to
be worth the $1 fine I'm going to get for returning it late tomorrow.
I do hope you enjoy some of the
news. I read the story about how doctors are getting a failing grade for their
non-empathetic qualities and all I could see is more room for CAM to move in and
take over. It's all good news, folks, that the people realize they aren't
getting the care they deserve with Western medicine. And those allopaths
will either have to shape up or ship out and all they seem to be doing (to me at
least) is whining. Maybe Phil Gramm was right that we're a nation of
whiners but I think he got the about what wrong.
Hope you have a fabulous weekend,
plan and do something wonderful before it's too cold and yucky to do anything.
Cheers,
Amy

Greetings Dear Ones,
What did I learn????
Yesterday I gave a talk on the inner game of practice success at the Pacific
School of Oriental Medicine in NYC.
You see, we had thought the practitioners had the information and support
they needed but were struggling with their own programming. While many still
struggle with their own unconscious programming, we found out that it was the
least of their challenges.
This program was supposed to be about how our unconscious mind controls our
behavior and how our behavior then supports or sabotages our success but in
order for this talk to be useful, it was assumed that they had the information
and knew what to do but found that they were their own obstacle to practice
success.
Ask yourself:
Do I know how to speak about what I do in a compelling way?
Am I creating good solid referring relationships with others who serve my
community?
Do I know how to "sell" my services in a way that is consistent with my
values?
Do I know how to market my services in a way that is consistent with my
values?
Do I know how to ask for referrals in a way that is consistent with my
values?
Well as you can see, there are a lot of do I know's ...if you dont
know...then get some tools to help you find out:
1. Join the Acupreneur - a one-year membership is
a. tax deductable and
b. the addition of only one new patient.
2. Buy the book: Fill Your Practice in 100 Days, But Don't Start Counting Just
Yet
Get the information and support you need and if you don't get it from
me...get it from someone else...but don't NOT get it!
Many blessings to you,
Dr. Eric

News of Interest!
Oriental medicine college opens acupuncture clinic - The
Oregon College of Oriental Medicine has opened its first freestanding satellite
clinic, a Hollywood District office that will offer low-cost acupuncture for the
public. At the new clinic, 1827 N.E. 44th Ave., interns and clinic
supervisors will offer acupuncture treatments for $12, as compared to the
typical $50 to $90 charged by licensed acupuncturists. Interns have
provided acupuncture at community clinics in the Portland area for a decade, but
the new Hollywood clinic is the first satellite clinic operated solely by the
college.
Acupuncture and Its Slow Acceptance in Mainstream Science
Circles - Acupuncture is a medical procedure in which the function of bodily
systems is influenced by stimulating connective and muscular tissue at specific
points on the body. The practice, once thought to be something akin to folklore
in the West, has gained widespread acceptance and popularity. The reasons are
not hard to understand when you consider the trouble-free relief many experience
from acupuncture, as well as the many faults and problems with conventional
medicine, such as debilitating side effects and pharmaceutical
recalls.
DOH: Hepatitis B cases on the rise - The Department of Health
on Thursday warned the public of the high prevalence of hepatitis B cases in the
country with around 500 to 700 cases reported every year. Dr. Eric Tayag,
officer-in-charge (Director IV) of the DOH National Epidemiology Center, said
early childhood infections are very common, making it more dangerous. "Those who
get hepatitis B at birth or at a young age have higher chances of getting
chronic infection as compared to when you get it later," Tayag said in a media
information session at the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Building in Makati
City.
Acupuncture Reduces Painful Side Effects of Breast Cancer
Treatments - Ancient Therapy Challenges Benefits of Modern Medicine. A
new medical study finds that acupuncture, an ancient form of healing that has
been around for thousands of years, is as good as, or better than modern
medicine in helping ease the side effects of breast cancer treatment. The
findings, which were presented today at the American Society for Therapeutic
Radiology and Oncology's annual meeting in Boston, suggest that this ancient
therapy can give cancer patients a wide range of benefits above modern medicine.
Doctors Miss Many Opportunities to Show Empathy - Empathy is
the acknowledgment and understanding of another person's feelings or emotional
situation. Empathetic doctors generally have patients who are more
satisfied with their treatment and are more likely to comply with medical
recommendations. Unfortunately, not all doctors readily express empathetic
thoughts, according to a study recently published in the Archives of Internal
Medicine.
