ReturningSpring Integrative Health Services

To my friends, colleagues, patients and family... May the Year of the Ox bring the fortune and happiness that the old year didn't! To your health always!

In response to the State-wide Stay-at-Hone Order, I have made the decision to temporarily take a break from treating regular patients. At this time, I believe the risks of treatment outweigh the benefit. There’s a lot this medicine can do for patients that does not involve needles. I am available by phone, and Skype, for consultation, and can make suggestions and provide herbal supplements to help through this crisis. We all need to be socially responsible. Small busine...sses like mine will be hurt in this mess, but that’s no excuse not to do the right thing. I will also be available on a limited basis to treat urgent cases, following CDC-recommended hand-washing and sanitizing protocols. If you need an appointment, please call me to arrange a time. However, I urge you to follow the stay-at-home instructions, and wash your hands, often! Let’s be responsible. The life you save may be your own.

Good advice. Stay healthy my friends.

COVID-19 Update: The Governor and Mayor have announced that all non-essential services are to be closed. At this time my offices will remain open to treat those who need my services. Herbal medicines which have been shown to support recovery (based on reports from Wuhan) have been ordered, although in limited quantities. In the meantime, I hold you all up in my prayers and send you light and love. May this crisis pass quickly.

Please remember that small local businesses often operate on the slimmest of margins and an event like this can be catastrophic. Rent isn’t abated because of the Corona Virus/COVID-19. Employees must still be compensated and utility bills are still due. Buy some gift cards from small businesses. Buy some coffee from your local coffee shop. Buy some bulbs and seeds from your local garden center. Go grab a couple bottles of wine from your local liquor store. We are in this together. Let’s make sure our local businesses feel some love during these difficult coming weeks. (Copied and pasted)

Several folks have been asking me about the Corona Virus (COVID-19). As everyone is aware, the Corona virus (also known as COVID 19 or 2019-nCoV) has reached many countries including the United States. As of yesterday, California has 192 confirmed cases. The majority of these are in Northern California (San Matteo County). Only 28 cases have been found in Los Angeles County. As of March 11, Orange County has had 4 confirmed cases, and 2 presumptive cases. 5 of those cases wer...Continue reading
