Maria Choy, MD Neurological care based on Integration of Western Medicine, Acupuncture, Homeopathy and Nutrition.

Board certified and New York trained neurologist, Dr. Maria Choy, is not your average American-trained doctor. She graduated from Boston University with accelerated BA/MD degrees in six years in 1984 and went on to do her internship, residency and fellowship at various prestigious New York Metropolitan Area Hospitals, including Harlem Hospital of Columbia University, the Albert Einstein Affiliated Hospitals in the Bronx, and Hospital for Special Surgery affiliated with Cornell Medical School. After years of using cutting edge technology to evaluate and treat her patients with the latest Western techniques (which she continues to use), she pursued international training programs in Complementary Medicine. Returning to her ethnic roots, she learned acupuncture from the American College of Acupuncture & the New York Acupuncture Society, 1994-95 and completed her clinical studies at Beijing and Shanghai in 1995. Not satisfied with only an Eastern paradigm of acupuncture, she acquired additional training at the UCLA School of Medicine in 1997 in order to be able to compare both approaches and choose from the best of both acupuncture worlds. While in China, she was told by her teachers that her acupuncture training would not be complete without additional training in Qigong. When she asked how to find such a teacher, she was told that, with her natural abilities, she will recognize the right teacher when she met him. After searching for nine years, Dr. Choy then met Dr. Effie Chow (who is not a “him” but a “her”!!!) of the East West Academy of Healing Arts, and has hence been learning Qigong from one of the most respected Grandmasters in this country. Dr. Maria Choy is one of the first American-trained doctors to assimilate Western medicine, with Eastern acupuncture, Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine Principles (treating body, mind, and spirit) in her everyday clinical practice. Because nutrition and life style changes are paramount in the affecting permanent change, Dr. Choy also finished her training as Health Counselor with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in affiliation with Columbia University in 2007. True to her own advice of always learning something new in order to remain young, Dr. Choy embarked on a completely new field of training with the Center for Education and Development of Clinical Homeopath in 2010-11 and has been successfully using homeopathy as yet another tool in her quest to relief the discomforts of patients who suffer from side effects of conventional treatments.

I’ve been saying this for decades: acupuncture works at DNA level. Studies found evidence of enhanced stem cell function using points typical of my treatments for dementia! Research is finally catching up with observation.

A groundbreaking discovery from Taiwan is bridging traditional medicine and modern science. Researchers at China Medical University have shown that acupuncture doesn’t just relieve pain—it can trigger stem cells to repair damaged organs naturally. Electroacupuncture at specific points, like ST36 (Zusanli) and GV20 (Baihui), stimulates the bone marrow to release mesenchymal stem cells into the bloodstream. These stem cells then travel to injured tissues, differentiate into organ-specific cells, and release healing factors.
Within 24 hours, stem cell levels in circulation increased by 300%, providing a measurable biological explanation for acupuncture’s therapeutic effects—beyond placebo. Stroke patients treated with electroacupuncture within 48 hours recovered 40% better than those with standard care. Liver cirrhosis patients showed reduced fibrosis markers, while heart attack survivors experienced improved cardiac function.
This discovery is rewriting how Western medicine views acupuncture. For thousands of years, it was considered purely traditional, yet science now shows a sophisticated, measurable mechanism for healing. Ancient practices are finally being validated through modern imaging and cellular tracking, revealing that needle stimulation can activate the body’s own repair systems.
The message is clear: acupuncture is more than sensation—it’s a biological trigger for regeneration, showing how centuries-old practices can integrate with cutting-edge science.

Italy has announced a nationwide ban on synthetic foods, becoming the first country to restrict lab-grown or artificially engineered meat products. The policy aims to regulate emerging food technologies, raising questions about the future of alternative proteins and their role in global food systems.

Synthetic foods, including cultured meat, are produced in laboratories by cultivating animal cells without raising or slaughtering livestock. Advocates highlight potential environmental benefits, such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions and land use. However, critics raise concerns regarding safety, nutrition, ethics, and long-term societal impacts.

Italy’s decision reflects a precautionary approach to novel food technologies. Regulators cited the need for more research into health implications, environmental assessments, and labeling standards before widespread commercialization. The move effectively prevents lab-grown meat, including projects supported by major investors like Bill Gates, from entering Italian markets.

Food industry analysts note that regulatory frameworks for synthetic foods vary globally. Some countries are advancing pilot programs or conditional approvals, while others, like Italy, emphasize caution and strict oversight. This divergence may influence investment, research, and international trade in alternative protein markets.

Ethical communication underscores that bans do not necessarily reflect inherent risks but rather prioritization of consumer safety, transparency, and cultural food norms. Italy’s policy also highlights the importance of labeling, informed consent, and public dialogue when introducing disruptive food technologies.

The decision has sparked debate among scientists, environmentalists, and policymakers. Supporters of synthetic meat argue it could help address climate change and food insecurity, while opponents advocate for traditional agriculture, dietary choice, and rigorous scientific validation.

Overall, Italy’s ban on synthetic foods illustrates the intersection of innovation, regulation, and cultural considerations in shaping the future of food. Ongoing research and public engagement will continue to influence how lab-grown meat and alternative proteins are developed worldwide.

Unfortunately , food production is full of politics. As chronic disease spirals out of control, herbicide use is seeking immunity from lawsuits (much the same as vaccine companies). This is always associated with lack of transparecy: you will not know what has been sprayed with chemicals! We need to become pro-active or staying heathy will require us to grow our own foods!

A quiet but coordinated push is underway to grant pesticide manufacturers sweeping legal immunity.

Bayer and Monsanto are pursuing multiple avenues to block lawsuits alleging that glyphosate (Roundup) causes cancer and other serious health harms. These efforts include pressure on Congress, state legislatures, and now the Supreme Court.

Although a dangerous immunity provision was removed from a recent federal spending bill, the Trump administration is urging the Court to side with Bayer, a decision that could eliminate state-level “failure to warn” claims nationwide.

At the same time, Bayer-backed organizations are advancing state bills and Farm Bill language designed to silence cancer warnings and shield corporations from accountability.

This is a critical moment for public health, consumer transparency, and democratic oversight.

Write to your federal and state officials and urge them to reject pesticide immunity laws.

This recently published article asserts that Aspirin is effective in preventing the M-spike protein (the part that attaches to a cell to enter it and cause damage) from attaching and entering cells leading to a less severe infection. Cheap and effective. My question is: can it prevent the M-spiked protein from the vaccine from causing harm also?! Guess I will have to read up on the theory of how the mRNA vaccine works in order to answer this question. I will post once have an opinion.

Preclinical and clinical evidence suggested the potential benefits of treatment with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in mitigating COVID-19 severity. While availa...

Rare cancers, miscarriages, and organ damage linked to aquifer contamination
with nitrates from farming but made much worse by high water usage

⚠️💧 This is very bad news.

A data center in Morrow County, eastern Oregon, has been linked by local officials and residents to a surge in rare cancers, miscarriages, and serious organ damage.

Former county commissioner and cattle rancher Jim Doherty began investigating after noticing unusual medical conditions across the county’s roughly 45,000 residents. Testing of 70 household wells found that 68 exceeded federal nitrate limits in drinking water, with Doherty reporting multiple miscarriages, kidney removals, and a non‑smoker who developed a cancer typically associated with smoking. Initially blamed on industrial megafarms, the pollution was later tied to the combined impact of agricultural runoff and wastewater from Amazon’s 10,000‑square‑foot data center, which has operated in the county since 2011. The facility, which relies heavily on groundwater for cooling, is accused of intensifying nitrate contamination throughout the local aquifer.

According to the reporting, megafarms in the area generate millions of gallons of nitrate‑laden wastewater that seep into the ground, while Amazon’s massive water use for chip cooling is said to “supercharge” the problem by drawing in contaminated groundwater, concentrating it through evaporation, and returning even more toxic water back into the system. In some cases, water from the data center reportedly contained nitrate levels eight times above Oregon’s safety threshold. Amazon denies that its operations have any meaningful impact on water quality, emphasizing that it does not add nitrates and uses only a small fraction of the overall water supply. However, residents and activists, including Oregon Rural Action executive director Kristin Ostrom, compare the slow and unequal response to the crisis to Flint, Michigan, arguing that politically and economically powerless communities are bearing the brunt of the health consequences.

This raises complex questions about corporate responsibility and shared natural resources. What's the best way to balance industrial development with local environmental health?
