ACUPUNCTURE ..'An unmediated Mind'

Acupuncture has been used for centuries to balance the body and mind. At the DWC we have treated hundreds of patients for anxiety and depression and it is a very useful tool, along with Therapy and Herbal Medicine. So it was nice to see natural therapies getting more press in the Wall Street Journal Article 'An unmediated Mind'

While Acupuncture was underplayed it still got a good write up for Depression and anxiety. In our experience we treat these conditions really well. Please check out the article below


'From lobotomies with ice picks to early antidepressants that caused brain hemorrhaging, Americans have a complicated and ever-changing approach to treating mental illness. Now, spurred by the growing disenchantment with antidepressants, an increasing number of people are seeking treatment for depression, anxiety and eating disorders from naturopaths, acupuncturists and even chiropractors. At the same time, more traditional psychiatrists are incorporating massage and meditation in their practices.'

BOOK OF THE MONTH--THE CHINA STUDY

The science is clear. The results are unmistakable.

Change your diet and dramatically reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and obesity.

Respected nutrition and health researcher, Dr. T. Colin Campbell reveals the truth behind special interest groups, government entities and scientists that have taken Americans down a deadly path

Even today, as the low-carb craze sweeps the nation, two-thirds of adults are still obese and children are being diagnosed with Type II diabetes, typically an �adult� disease, at an alarming rate. If we�re eating healthier, why are Americans stricken with heart disease as much as we were 30 years ago?

Drawing on the project findings in rural China, but going far beyond those findings, The China Study details the connection between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes and cancer. The report also examines the source of nutritional confusion produced by powerful lobbies, government entities, and opportunistic scientists. The New York Times has recognized the study (China-Oxford-Cornell Diet and Health Project) as the �Grand Prix of epidemiology� and the �most comprehensive large study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease.�
