Natural Face-lift to stay younger looking

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012

Last week the South Florida SunTimes
wrote a one-page article about our office.
Feel Good and Feeling Good about Yourself
They wanted to know how alternative medicine
can help with woman problems, things like
Hormone balancing, headache, PMS, how to have a
safe natural pregnancy; avoid morning sickness
and the things that my woman patients
are always interested in
Getting those extra pounds off and
those age telling wrinkles gone.
If we can lose a few unwanted pounds and
get rid of those wrinkles, and peoples ears perk up.

Every day I get calls from people wanting to reduce
the signs of aging. Some are Baby Boomers from all
walks of life and others are from the modeling
community that live and work in Miami.

Nobody wants to go under the knife, especially to get
rid of a few wrinkles and have their fat sucked out.
Especially if they are still young and we all know that
fillers and Botox can be dangerous.
There is something
about the TOX at the end of Botox that
just does not sound good to me.

When you see a model, you might think that their beauty
is all natural and they are just blessed people.
The truth is, modeling is one of the most challenging
jobs there is and those young woman work hard to keep
everything toned natural and stay young and beautiful.
Not everyone can keep up with the demands and succeed
in this high-pressure profession.

Here are some of the secrets from one of
my students who is one of Miami’s top model

DIET
Staying healthy on the inside and outside
demands a healthy diet with No junk food.
Junk food blocks up your intestines, causing
plaque to form in the arteries and age you way
before your years. I give all of my patients the
80/20 diet. Eight percent of the time you eat
fruits and vegetables and lean protein. Green
drinks are a must to staying healthy on the
inside and they will reflect in your skin.
The 20% is for fun foods. A girl gotta have some fun.

Exercise
Exercise is the best- cardio, yoga and internal
exercises like Qi Gong. This way you cover all the bases.
You get a good sweat, stretch out and get a good
flow of Qi to your internal organs and brain.

Internal Work
Meditation will help to maintain a healthy
attitude towards yourself, establish a routine,
and stay on it. But don’t be too hard on yourself.
If you miss a day– just start again the next day.

Sleep
Sleep is the key to healing and rejuvenating
your body, mind and spirit. Go to sleep at least
3 nights a week before midnight. That will reset
your internal clock and keep you beautiful and your mind sharp.
That saying about “getting your beauty sleep is for real.

Skin fitness
To be a successful model, you need to maintain healthy skin.
The best way to do this is to keep a beauty routine.
No harsh products and chemicals. Always wash your skin
every night. Remove make-up completely.
If you need moisturizer, only use a small amount.
A natural moisturizer is the best.

Stay Hydrated
One of the easiest things you can do to help
maintain healthy-looking skin is to make a habit
of drinking at least 6 glasses of water a day and
to stay glowing, drink 3 or 4 glasses of fresh
vegetable juice a week or more.

I have been doing The face -Lift acupuncture treatment
on hundreds of men and woman and it’s a real boom to a
working model, both men and women who just want to stay young.

If it’s done once or twice a week with some incredible results.
Its natural, safe and drug free. This proven technique improves
muscle tone of the face and neck while addressing underline
imbalances that can contribute to the aging process.
According to Traditional Chinese medicine a blockage of Energy
in our bodies will affect our cells, tissue muscles and the
organs and the next thing you know, you have wrinkles.
As we get older it becomes a little more difficult for that
energy called Chi in Chinese medicine to flow upwards to lift
the face.

This leads to inadequate muscle tone, and over time,
wrinkles and sagging skin.
A facial rejuvenation using acupuncture tightens pores,
improves muscle tone and dermal contraction, while enhancing
and increasing the elasticity of the skin.
My patients have found the treatments to reduce signs of aging
by strengthening and stimulating the circulation of Qi within
the meridian pathways, especially those of the face.

You will look and feel more energetic, calm, vibrant and healthy.

One of the products that I really like that keep your
intestines healthy and keeps the skin young and healthy is:

Alarming News!

Friday, March 23rd, 2012
Share

When I woke up this morning an
alarming letter was waiting for me
from Dr. Garry F. Gordon.
A large scale attack on our health
is going on RIGHT NOW!

“Government regulations are
HUNTING, NOT HELPING America!
Here we have a perfect example to help
educate others. Case in point:
manufacturing practices for supplements
are driving up costs so that many can no
longer afford their supplements. That is in
spite of the proven lack of any deaths from
consumption of supplements.

This is a thinly veiled effort to stop the
Natural Health Movement by making
regulations that will drive supplement
costs out of sight.”

Over 60 billion doses of vitamins and
mineral supplements per year in the USA,
and not a single fatality. Not one. If vitamin
and mineral supplements are allegedly so
“dangerous,” as the FDA and news media
so often claim, then where are the bodies?

No Deaths from Vitamins
America’s Largest Database
Confirms Supplement Safety

(OMNS, Dec 28, 2011) There was not even
one death caused by a vitamin supplement in
2010, according to the most recent information
collected by the U.S. National Poison Data System.

The new 203-page annual report of the
American Association of Poison Control
Centers, published online at

http://www.aapcc.org/dnn/Portals/0/2010%20NPDS%20Annual%20Report.pdf,

shows zero deaths from multiple vitamins;
zero deaths from any of the B vitamins; zero
deaths from vitamins A, C, D, or E; and zero
deaths from any other vitamin.

Additionally, there were no deaths whatsoever
from any amino acid or dietary mineral supplement.

Three people died from non-supplement
mineral poisoning: two from medical use of
sodium and one from non-supplemental iron.
On page 131, the AAPCC report specifically
indicates that the iron fatality was not from a
nutritional supplement.

Fifty-seven poison centers provide
coast-to-coast data for the National Poison
Data System, “one of the few real-time national
surveillance systems in existence, providing a
model public health surveillance system for all
types of exposures, public health event
identification, resilience response and situational
awareness tracking.”

Well over half of the U.S. population takes daily
nutritional supplements. Even if each of those
people took only one single tablet daily, that
makes 165,000,000 individual doses per day,
for a total of over 60 billion doses annually.
Since many people take far more than just one
single vitamin or mineral tablet, actual consumption
is considerably higher, and the safety of nutritional
supplements is all the more remarkable.

Over 60 billion doses of vitamin and mineral
supplements per year in the USA, and not a
single fatality. Not one.

If vitamin and mineral supplements are allegedly
so “dangerous,” as the FDA and news media so
often claim, then where are the bodies?

It’s important to eat a balanced diet- get more
veggies and fruit in your diet, cut the sugars out as
much as possible, eat organic whenever you can,
and remember things like white bread and sodas
are not food, so cut them out of your diet.
Of course, no matter what you eat you must stay
physically active.

Reduce stress and take supplements.
I’d advise you to only take the very best in supplements.
Here is why:
When you go into the health food store you
will notice there are a lot of different brands
of the same vitamin.

Example: there may be
20 different vitamins “C’s “all priced differently.
How can that be?
I’ll tell you.

My father was in the Gold business years ago.
Gold prices are set and that’s the price: 24Kt.
Pure gold let’s say costs $1000 an ounce and
yet jewelry comes in different prices, here is why:
They make 10 Kt. gold rings, 14 Kt. Rings 18 Kt.
rings and 22Kt. Rings. 24Kt. Pure gold is actually
too soft for jewelry. You are not really getting the
quality with a 10Kt. Ring. It’s less than half of the
gold and mostly made up of much cheaper metals.
The same with the vitamins you buy.

The price is
the price and the only way to make them cheaper is
to cut down on quality and add cheap fillers.

The Best Answer to Cancer

Friday, March 9th, 2012

I drove up to Boca Raton
the other night to see Gracie.
She invited me to have dinner
with her and her boy friend.
It’s about 45 minutes from Miami
on I95 and with no traffic at all it
was a pleasure to take a cruise in the Lincoln.

When I saw her she was smiling from
ear to ear and for good reasons.
Two years ago, the circumstances
were a lot different. She was diagnosed
with Cancer and was going through both
chemo and radiation and she was defiantly
not smiling. She opted to do both conventional
medicine and alternative at the same time and
was happy she did. Sometimes you just
have to bite the bullet and deal with a
situation even if you don’t want to.

Sometimes, cancer can be stopped with
conventional medicine if you are strong
enough to live through it.
You may be wondering what she did to
beat the exterminator, “Cancer.”

Well, she came into my office three times
a week and we did acupuncture to
alleviate the pain, herbal therapy for the
nausea and vomiting, medical Qi gong to
balance her energy and disrupt the blue print
of the cancer and I pumped her up with
vitamins and homeopathic medicine.

When I saw her today, I asked her how she
was feeling and she told me, “I just feel great
and I am thankful every day that I am alive!”
Then she told me, “when you worked on me, it
felt like you dropped into my body, grabbed the
Cancer and pulled it out and I have been cancer
free for two years and I feel great, THANK YOU!”

Gracie is Cancer Free.
Gracie is stress free and her
life is filled with gratitude.

Every day, Gracie has been practicing the
Recharging Qi Gong, 36 exercises as
well as meditations in the
Turn Stress into Power program and I
do the same and let me tell you why.

These exercises and meditations have
been drawn from the Tibetan Buddhist
system and esoteric Taoism.

They are ancient longevity and anti-aging
practices that will keep you healthy and strong.
Don’t delay and don’t wait for something
negative to happen. Start today and keep
yourself healthy, wealthy and happy.

In search of a Good Meal

Friday, January 27th, 2012

For the last few years I have been looking
for a good breakfast place near my house.
God knows I have tried everyone within a 5 mile
radius of my house and I am sorry to say there just
aren’t any good ones, but I kept on searching.

I knew there must be something around.
Most restaurants serve eggs, bacon, toast and coffee
but they don’t think about health. Breakfast is often
called the most important meal of the day and there
are good reasons for that.
When you wake up in the morning, your body has
been fasting, for hours.
Breakfast literally means, “Break the fast.”
A good breakfast gives your body and brain
the energy they need to function.
By eating breakfast, you’ll be less likely to overeat
later in the day. If you’re trying to lose weight,
don’t try to cut calories by skipping breakfast.
Studies have shown that most people who have lost
weight and kept it off eat breakfast every day.
Research has shown that those who eat a healthy
breakfast are more productive than those who don’t.
We know school reports that children who eat
breakfast get higher test scores and perform
better all year long.

What I prefer in the morning is protein like eggs at
least a few days a week with vegetables and
occasionally I’ll add some smoked salmon or turkey.
I usually do 2 whites to one whole egg.
A few mornings I just eat fruit and drink tea, and
this really gets the bowels moving and keeps the
system clean. As for the other days I drink a good
protein drink like I-5 from Zymogen -16 grams of
protein, all of the amino’s and the necessary vitamins.

I’ll add a scoop of “Greens First,” it’s filled with all of
the fruits and vegetables you’ll need for the entire day
in 1 scoop and I make sure I take my vitamins with it.

You can order the I5 and the Greens First
by letting me know and I’ll send it out the next day.

I wish you the best in your Health,

Taking Responsibility for your own Health

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Debbie came into the office and brought all of
her medicine with her.
She said, “Do I have to take all of this all of the time?”

I asked her how long she was taking these prescriptions
and when was the last time she saw her doctor. She said
that it was given to her by different doctors over the
years and she said, “I just keep refilling my prescription
and taking it year in and year out.”
I said, “When was the last time you checked with
your doctor to see if your medicine was still necessary?”

She told me it was last year and that is the last
time she had checked anything!

I said, “Debbie, it’s time that you took responsibility
for your own health. Half of your pills, you’ve been
taking over the last 4 years, and you don’t have a
clue what they’re for!”

She told me that she doesn’t really eat meals and
more or less grazes all day long. One of Debbie’s
biggest complaints is that she has acid reflex and
gets heart burn and is constantly burping. I asked her
if she knew what her pH was and she told me she didn’t
have a clue what that was.

I told her about a simple test that she could do herself.
Get a package of pH indicator paper and then every
morning when she wakes up, take one of the little strips
and on the first urination, dip the strip into the urine.
This will tell you if you are acid or alkaline.
It has been said that caner cannot live in an alkaline
system and that’s why we alkalize!

I always have these strips in my office available for patients.
There are a few great formulas that I use to change a persons
system from acid to alkaline. I also suggested to her that
she starts drinking vegetable juices, cuts out sugar and meat
if her body is acidic. This will help to get rid of things like
joint problems, tiredness, irritability, acid reflex and depression.

She can perform this simple test by herself
and make some changes in her diet.
You can take responsibility for your own health!

I asked Debbie what exercises she did?
“Exercise?”
“Do I have to do that?”

Exercise can put you in control of your health.
If you have a car and you drive it all the time it will ware
out soon and break down.

But our bodies are different!
If the body isn’t used it will break down sooner, that’s why
it’s so important to exercise and to do the right exercises to keep you healthy.

The Recharging Qi Gong is a series of exercises that takes less
than a half an hour to do. It works on three different levels.
To balance the body physically, to calm the emotions, and to
open up the spiritual channels. This takes about 15 minutes a
day and in less than 30 days you will be feeling great.

Is your garbage can full?

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012
Share

This week I’ve been seeing more patients
than one could imagine with environmental
diseases, allergies, and hives. It seems to be
all stemming from the excess pollution in our
food, water, air and plastics. We are being
poisoned on a daily basis and our government
agencies aren’t doing anything to change it.
It seems to me that the old mighty dollar is
taking precedent over our health and well-being.

I had a patient just today who was violently
allergic to peanuts, sesame oil and all types of
nuts in general! Not only does she break out in hives,
her respiratory system closes down to the point where
she needs to be rushed to the emergency to save her life.
Although, we have all heard of instances like this,
it seems like in today’s world, it’s happening more
often and to more people than one would ever imagine.

What can you do to protect yourself and your family?

It’s hidden everywhere!
In Rachel Carson’s book, The Silent Spring,
she warned us back in the 60’s that we were going
to have a big problem with pesticides, herbicides,
mercury, hydrocarbons, and more carcinogenic material.
Did we listen?
Heck NO!

Every day I see people with lung disease, cancer,
gulf war syndrome, birth defects, and chemical poisoning.
There is also the Sick building syndrome- that’s
when the building has so many pollutants in it,
poor ventilation, poor temperature control, and
pollution from outdoor sources, chemicals like
cleaning supplies, and copier machines. All of this
lowers our immune system and before we know
it we are sick as dogs!

Imagine that you have a garbage can in your house
and every day you throw garbage into the can,
eventually the garbage can will fill up and you will not
be able to close it with a lid and then the next thing
you know -you have flies, maggots, roaches and rats!!

That’s disgusting!
Now, you can do one of two things:
You can poison the pests and spray the bugs, but in
no time they will come back. If you want to get rid of
the pests what you need to do is empty and clean the
garbage can. It’s the same in our bodies! If you have some
dis-ease and you are trying to cover it up with antibiotics,
steroids and over the counter medicine, it’s just not going to work!

You need to change your internal environment.
You need to detox and you need to detox NOW!
Don’t hesitate; don’t wait until you get sick!

DO IT TODAY!

What foods cause your belly to grow the most?

Friday, December 30th, 2011
Share


It’s just about 2012 and New Years Eve is upon us.
My office is only open for emergencies, stuff like back pain,
auto crashes and I can’t stand my relatives.
When things are slow at the office it gives me a little more
time to train and to catch up on my reading.

I read a report this morning on the latest findings on what
makes your belly grow the quickest and kills your
sexual appetite at the same time.

They claim that the foods that lead to long-term weight gain
are things that most of us in the good old USA have been eaten
on regular basis for years.
Most people out there don’t have a clue that these foods
will fatten them up like a stuffed goose in no time
They didn’t realize anything until one day the big belly just
seemed to appear out of nowhere and there love tool
just didn’t work like it used to.

Hear are a few of the culprits:

• French fries
• Potato chips
• Soda
• Sugar laced bottled fruit juices
• Most bottled ice teas
• Red meat
• Processed meats like hot dogs
• Fast foods

When you have these foods groups in your diet on a regular basis,
you’re going to be looking at a big fat belly sooner or later.

Belly fat is a real killer and will age you quicker than you could
imagine and kill your libido quicker than a New York second
and that’s really fast.

As we get older our organs have a tendency to prolapse because
of lack of proper exercise, gravity and the natural aging process
everything begins to sag.
The lungs and heart don’t have the elasticity they had in your
younger years and as they droop this affect the entire chest cavity.
The liver and spleen are affected and of course both the
small intestine and large intestine are affected.
Everything drops!

The next thing you know you have problems “DOWN THERE”
and your sex life is over.
The famous country and western singer Willie Nelson wrote
this poem on His 75th birthday on how he out- lived his sex organ.

“My nookie days are over,
my pilot light is out.

What used to be my sex appeal,
is now my waterspout.
Time was when, on its own accord,
from my trousers
it would spring.
But now I’ve got a full time job,

to find the firkin’ thing.
It used to be embarrassing,
the way it would behave.

For every single morning,
it would stand and watch me shave.
Now as old age approaches, 
it sure gives me the blues.

To see it hang its little head, 
and watch me tie my shoes!”

Yep, Willie is a country party kind of guy and misused his
health for years and is now in a pickle with his pickle.

You can avoid these problems and delay the aging process
by changing your diet, keeping up with a regular exercise
program and following the
Programs set forth by the ancients from China, Tibet
and India.
I have explored these teachings in depth for over 30 years
and have created the Recharging Qi gong Program to enhance
your health and wellbeing.
If you don’t have the program as yet,
what are you waiting for? Next Year?
Place your order now and begin the New Years right!

How to Party Day & Night and Still Stay Healthy

Friday, December 16th, 2011
Share

Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!!!!

You know what that means?
We eat, eat, eat and drink, drink, drink!

Over the holiday season, with all of
the festive activities and fun, we all have
the tendency to over-eat; over-drink, and
worst of all, eat all of the wrong foods.

Sugar cookies, sticky eggnog, basically
all fat and sugar!

This is a great way to spike your insulin
levels, clog your arteries and set you up for
the February Flu. It’s not that any of us are
going to miss any of the parties or any of the fun!
We are all going to eat some junk and enjoy it!
Let me tell you a little trick!

NEVER EVER put anything into your mouth
that you say is not good for you.
Let me give you an example:

I was out with Sherly the other day, and we
stopped at a little coffee shop to chat.
She ordered a big piece of chocolate cake
and a double espresso. She sat down and with
a big grin on her face, she said, “I know I shouldn’t
eat this, it will probably go right to my thighs!”
So, what Sherly did is she actually cursed the cake
and instructed it to make her thighs fat by eating it.
So many people do this, it’s amazing to me!!!

If you are going to eat something, the best thing
you can say is, “this is going to make me feel good,”
or that “this is going to make me healthy!”

That’s why it’s so important to say a little prayer
before you put anything in your mouth. It’s the
same with medicine, you never want to take a pill
and say, “this is killing me!”

When taking your medicine or your vitamins, you
should instruct the pill to do what you want it to do.

Let me give you an example:
When I take my vitamins, and I take them every day,
I always say to myself as I swallow them;
“I feel good, I feel great, these vitamins
will make my body radiate!”

You can tell your medicine or your vitamins
what you want them to do for you. You can use the
little jungle that I always use, or make up your own.

Over the holiday season, we all party and have fun,
but the one thing that you want to do is you want to
keep up on your nutrition. When we deprive
our body of good food, proper sleep, and days of
partying, we need to supplement. The easiest and
fastest way to keeping yourself healthy and vibrant,
is to get proper nutrition into your body.
Every day, I take my
vitamin packs in the morning and in the evening.

The Multi-Four is incredible!
Order yours today and stay
healthy all season long!

What are the Three Biggest Energy Suckers?

Friday, October 14th, 2011
Share

I started water fast for a few days
to clear out all the cobwebs so to speak.

Fasting has many benefits:

*Overall health
*Detoxing the body
*The Opening of Spiritual centers.

A body full of toxic foods,
environmental poisons and toxic
thoughts, will eventually cause
health problems to your body, mind and spirit.

If your head is filled with evil thoughts,
this can transfer the evil influences on the body.
What affects the body, affects the mind
and vice versa. One of the best ways to
purify it is by fasting. This will allow you
to see things more clearly.
Let me explain how this works.

The Three Biggest Energy Drains in life:
- Sex
- Over Talking
- Digestion

When we fast we give our digestive
system rest and a chance to renew
our energy supply.

If you can limit your SPEECH
when you are on a fast– you can easily
open the SPIRITUAL centers and SEX is a no,
no! – at least for a few days,
we don’t want any energy leaks.
This will give you a lot more energy
and you will notice that you will have a
lot more free time when you are fasting.

I suggest a one day fast to start.
Here is how to do it:

After your last meal in the evening, drink
a glass of water and retire early.
When you wake up, first thing- have a glass
of pure room temperature water. You can add a half
of lemon if you wish. Use pure water
to flush and purify the system.
I drink 3 or 4 quarts a day when fasting and
sleep a minimum of 8 hours with a nap or
two during the day. I try to make my
fasting days on days that I don’t have to work
or have much interaction with people.
The less talking you do, the more energy you
will have.

While on the fast, spend some time in nature,
walking, or sitting near the water. It will quite
the mind and allow your head space to open
more. If you can’t get out in nature spend some
alone time.

No Mind Sucking TV!
If you are a reader, read only inspirational
books or go to an art museum and quietly
walk around. When I am fasting, I’ll listen
to soothing music, without words
-only instruments.

Fasting is a personal time and you are more
likely to be in a programmable state,
so guard your speech, as well as what you
listen too.

While fasting, we shed extra weight from
the body and gain strength and clarity of
the mind.

For those of you who have emotional, nervous and
sexual problems, there is no better way than
fasting to clear and cure those problems.
Your mind will become quiet.
Fasting, whether for physical well-being,
or a spiritual purpose, is a very scientific
way to clear the body and mind of stuck energy.

This is one of the best ways to get started on
a detox program.
After the day of fast, I
usually do a two week detox program.
I have received major success with the detox kit.

http://www.energymedicineflorida.com/detox-kit.html

and I take two Oxy-hydrate pills per night for the
two week detox program, this will insure you that your
colon is as clean as a whistle.

Detox your body at least 4 times a year!
-this is real anti-aging medicine!

Celebration of our Good Health

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

Before the Fast

According to the Jewish calendar, it’s now the year 5772.
That’s a lot of years and a lot of tradition, the holiday started last Wednesday night, September 28th. It’s called Rosh Hashanah, meaning “the head or first of the year.”

The next Ten Days begins with Repentance, and concludes with Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. It’s a time of introspection, forgiveness, and hope for a year in which we do better than we did in the past year.
This holiday is known for the custom of eating apples dipped in honey, symbolizing the sweetness of coming year may bring.

Rosh Hashanah is celebrated on the day when, according to tradition, the first humans were created; this is when people celebrate Rosh Hashanah as the birthday of the world and of humanity. The people from all over the world embark upon the serious task of examining their lives and repenting for any wrongs they have committed during the previous year. They are encouraged to make amends with anyone they have wronged and to make plans for improving during the coming year. It’s all about making peace in the community and striving to be a better person.

One of the traditions that I always do at this time, when the season changes from summer to fall is fasting and forgiveness for any wrongs I may have done. This tradition is in alignment with both the holiday and the season.

I fast for many reasons.
First there are millions of people all over the world fasting at this time.
It is sort of a collective consciousness of fasting because it makes it easier to do, like having waves of energy push you along making the fast easier.
