If you are at home with nothing to keep you occupied you may be interested to hear this interview from a Chinese Medicine Doctor in Wuhan, China regarding their treatment of COVID-19. The interview is in Chinese but it is subtitled into English. His perspective is quite interesting. The complimentary approach of Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine can be much more powerful than each on it's own.

In a world where there exists storms of manipulation in the media and fake news as well as a lack of sincerity and doing what’s best for our people, we at eL...

Here is a very interesting article written by a Doctor of Chinese Medicine in WuHan, China. This chronicles her treatment of 30 patients with COVID-19 from beginning to discharge.

The most important thing that you can do is take care of your immune system. Not only now but always. Many Chinese patients who were properly treated in the winter have not contracted this spring type disease.

If you have any questions of are in need of an immune boosting herbal formula, please give us a call at 964-1111.

Today, I want to share my experience treating 30 COVID-19 patients from the beginning to the end with you. I treated every single patient from admission to discharge, and I hope my experience can provide some insights for you.

I am often asked if there are any books or online resources available to help explain some of the concepts that make up Chinese Medicine. This website (chinesemedicineliving.com) is a great resource for anyone looking for a treasure trove of material on the topic that is easy to understand.

I was shown this site several years ago by one of my patients. On a recent fact finding mission I came across it again and I was really impressed how the author has expanded the site over the years. I think it could be a great resource to help gain some understanding of this fabulous system of healing.

I hope you find it as useful as I do!

Have you or someone you know served in the military? Did you know that thanks to Veterans Affairs that former service men and women qualify for free acupuncture treatments through the Veterans Choice Program?

The Veterans’ Access to Care through Choice, Accountability, and Transparency Act of 2014, also called the Veterans Choice Act, is a public law that provides funding for veterans so that they may seek treatment outside of the VA. The law stipulates you must live 40 miles away from the nearest VA hospital or be unable to get an appointment within 30 days. With our location here on the Mendocino Coast, most military veterans will qualify.

In order to have the Veterans Choice Program cover your acupuncture treatments you must call or visit your VA doctor and tell them you would like a referral to receive acupuncture at Coast Family Acupuncture. Alternatively, you can call 866-606-8198 to verify your coverage and setup an appointment or visit https://www.va.gov/opa/choiceact/for_veterans.asp

Currently the VA considers acupuncture effective for:

- Pain associated with an illness or injury

- Nausea and Vomiting after an operation

- Nausea and Vomiting related to chemotherapy

- Knee Pain from Osteoarthritis

- Low Back Pain

- Depression or other Mental Health concerns

- Substance dependency
