From the Editor:
Cheers all. I'm going to make this letter short and sweet this week as I'm up to by eyeballs in yarn.
Thanksgiving is only about 2 weeks away and that means I've got to get done 6 scarves and a blanket in less than 6 weeks. Someone remind me why I'm hand-making all my Christmas presents this year? I thought it would be a nice change from the rampant consumerism of the holiday. But you know I spend probably just as much money and now I'm completely frazzled as well. I should have just stuck to the idea of hand-making really nice Christmas cards instead of making everyone a scarf or blanket. Well I'm still going to make the Christmas cards (thank you Google how to!) so we'll just add that to the bottom of my list anyhow. Anybody got any recommendations for crazy and unrealistic plans?
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend and don't drive yourselves to the same level of distraction as yours truly.

Greetings Dear Ones!
Build Relationships...
...By moving away from high touch and high tech and moving back to high touch and low tech.
There are many methods that build relationships through high tech means. Even this

And, let me just say, they are all good!
But, in this day and age, where there is a tremendous shifting of values and focus, we are moving back to more intimate contact.
Building your community takes more than just finding ways of staying in touch. Building your community takes meaningful ways of staying in touch.
The other day in my class at Pacific School of Oriental Medicine, I explained one of the my pet methods to my students.

Then, I simply call. I ask them how they are doing, how the problem that they came in for is doing...This is so incredibly powerful because about 50% of the time they say....
"I am so glad you called, I have been having trouble with________can you help me with that?"
So while I am an advocate of high tech methods of contact...don't neglect the low tech ones!!
Best,
Dr. Eric!

News of Interest!
Traditional medicine passes WHO health checks - Health
representatives from more than 70 countries gathered in Beijing on Friday to
swap ideas on how to make traditional medicine, ranging from acupuncture to
leech treatment, more widely available. The two-day World Health
Organisation (WHO) event, built around seminars on regulatory standards and folk
medicine in cultures from South Africa to Japan, is expected to end with member
countries agreeing to expand traditional medicine in their health care
systems. WHO officials at the event said blending traditional and Western
medicine could make each more
effective. Raising Eyebrows With Acupuncture Facelifts - The quest for
youth has made Americans turn to Botox nearly 3 million times last year where
nearly a quarter million people had an eye-lid lift. But how does an acupuncture
facelift sound? "Basically what we're doing is, we're stimulating the body
to heal itself," said Acupuncturist Lynn Jaffe. The techniques of
acupuncture follow ancient maps of unseen currents flowing though the body. The
notion is that every cell of your being creates energy and there is health when
that energy flows in harmony. Hua Tuo, A Miraculous Healer in Ancient China - Hua Tuo, also
named Yuanhua, was from Pei Guo Jiao, today's Hao County in Anhui Province. He
was a legendary physician in the 2nd century. Hua Tuo sought neither rank nor
remuneration. He completely devoted himself to the study of medicine, and
achieved outstanding results in many areas. His eminence in ancient China
accorded him the name "miraculous healer."
Acupuncturist strikes back against article - I am currently in
school to become an acupuncturist Ac. DOM (Doctor of Oriental Medicine). I have
to say I was appalled by your newspaper article. Because you are uneducated
about acupuncture, might I suggest not making any comments on a subject you know
nothing about. And, quite frankly, Dr. Gott, there is all kinds of scientific
research available. In fact, if you where watching the Olympics, as the whole
world was on Aug. 17, 2008, their was a small piece on acupuncture you might
have been interested in. Then again, you are a doctor in a box, as per usual to
the stereotype of a
doctor.

A great
day for quitters - An estimated 45 million Americans still smoke cigarettes,
but come Thursday, Nov. 20, those numbers might drop a bit. It's the American
Cancer Society's 33rd annual Great American Smokeout--a day when anti-tobacco
forces rally on behalf of smokers, and would-be ex-smokers are encouraged to
spend the day puffless in solidarity with each other. Of course, quitting an
addictive substance is never easy, but one local business is chipping in to help
some folks get started on the path to a smoke-free future. Daoist Traditions in
Asheville, which specializes in Chinese medicine, if offering free ear
