A Happy New Year!
I wish health, happiness, and blessings to all. I wish the world will be more peaceful and the people would make a significant progress toward improving the global warming.
Some Successes Last Year
There were many memorable treatments I performed last year. I am particularly happy to see a Parkinson disease patient improved about 90%. I am glad one person completely stopped smoking. Some patients' knees improved significantly. Many came with lower back pain, and consistency and patience paid off. Above all, I am happy to see in many that facial expressions changed to soft and relaxed to happiness and contentment. I am happy to involve in the healing process.
Consistency Pays Off
Since I do not call patients for more appointments, I often feel sorry for a patient who quits suddenly. Perhaps, a perception of improvement is not immediately recognizable, but a certain improvement does take place. There are many reasons for the perceptive indifference. A person may have chronic disease or pre-conditions difficult to heal, drug interference, addiction to pain, mental blockage, physical and psychological trauma, etc.
Sticking to my treatment should pay off in a long run. Most cases, I recommend at least three to five sessions to see if you start to feel perceptively better. As you get better, a certain emotion will settle down and you feel more grounded.

Simple Things You Can Do For Your Health No. 12
Against Cold and Flu:
If you do not want to get sick this winter, you need to increase a perception of your body to know when exactly a cold and flu is coming to your body system. If you find a sore throat today and think you might already had it yesterday, it is too late. Act immediately if you feel chills, start having runny nose, or a sore throat. Gargle with salt water. Take medicine. Do not take hot shower or especially hot bath when you feel like getting sick. Keep your body warm.
Usually a cold will come in either from the feet or from the upper back area. If you feel cold air passing over your feet, warm them up immediately and drink some hot tea with lemon. If you feel chills at the upper back (C-7 to T-3 area), immediately do the same. Or you can do the following treatment yourself.
During the cold season, bend the arm, knead and palpate the area of the elbow where the bone (the epicondyle) sticking up, push against the bone. If the area is tender, you need to push and knead more. Keep the upper back warm by placing a warm pad or heat (i.e., blow dryer the area). Stick-on-moxa treatment is the best: you can actually feel the coldness leaving your body. Drink lots of fluid as prevention and as a treatment. Consider water as a medicine. Must drink room temperature water and not iced.
