Just this morning I had a lady come into my
office who was suffering from symptoms connected
to her menopause. She said, “I can’t
sleep, I wake up every few hours and I am burned
up, I sweat so much I feel like I am sleeping in a
sauna bath and it’s been going on for months.

We went over her medical history and she reported
that she has a cold right now, but doesn’t want to
take any medicine, no matter if it’s natural or not.
She reported having a chronic back problem and doesn’t
want address it either.
She also said that she is gaining weight and is
really depressed about that but not willing to
change her diet.
She said, “I drink coffee all day
and I am not willing to change my coffee drink
habits at all! I love my coffee, and will drink
6 to 7 cups a day.

It sounds to me that she loves her habits much
more than her sleep, her health, or the way she
looks. There is a mental emotional imbalance here
and she isn’t willing to look at it.

There are many different ways to treat illness and
balance the body and mind. Our body and mind are
so tightly coupled you would be amazed how much
one affects the other. There is a scientific name
for it; it’s called psycho-neuro immunology.
There is now a huge body of published evidence
documenting at the neurological and biochemical
level, how states of mind such as anxiety,
depression and anger affect the functioning of
immune system.

This patient really didn’t want to hear about that
either. I didn’t tell dare tell her this in her
delicate state, but I’ll tell you.

That coffee habit she has is warming up her entire
body, as well as over stimulating her mind and is
a stronga diuretic. Coffee has been used to
stimulate the mind and wake you up. It’s also
considered a mental stimulant, but if you are having extreme
night sweets it’s a No, No .

If the coffee isn’t organic they are using
poisonous herbicide and pesticide sprays. If you
think decaf is a good alternative, wake up and
smell the coffee. Petroleum based solvents are
used to make the stuff and it’s not the best for
your health.

Let’s get back to the patient; she drinks coffee
all day long, caffeinated until 3 or 4 in the
afternoon and decaf at night.
She can’t sleep why?
According to Chinese medicine she is damaging the
water element the kidneys and bladder. The excess
of coffee can be acting as a diuretic injuring the
balance between fire and water that’s the yin,
yang balance of the body.

When there is an imbalance in the water element
the fire element goes wild. As we all know if you
make a fire the heat will rise. In the body if
there is too much heat it goes upward as well and
will disturb the mind, hence the insomnia. Too
much heat could be the cause of the excess
sweating as well. If she wants to get back to a
good nights sleep she needs to cut down on her
beloved coffee and start loving herself.

When we practice Qi Gong and meditation a few
great things happen. We cool the body down. This
relaxes the mind and will allow for a better
nights sleep as well as harmonizing the balance of
our fire and water element.

How to stay warm this Winter

Friday, December 28th, 2012

Winter is here again and now the days are getting
longer in the Northern hemisphere. Depending where
you live you could see as much as 8 minutes more
of light a day.
I have already started my winter organic garden
with lettuce, onions, garlic and tomato’s as well
as a host of herbs. My organic garden will produce
food for about 5 months and I know it’s organic
for sure. The garden does more for me than just
produce food; it is a way to stay in touch with
nature, stay grounded and a wonderful way to
meditate.

In Chinese Medicine, the different seasons of the
year are associated with certain organs of the
body. Winter is ruled by the Water element, which
is associated with the Bladder and the Kidneys.
Chinese Medicine sees that the internal organs are
related to the physical symptoms of a person. For
example, the bladder and the kidneys are nourished
by the cold climate in the winter, but extreme
coldness or wetness can also injure them like deep
stiffness or pain, especially in the low back and
knees.

The ears are the sense organs
associated also with the Water element.
Interesting enough, the kidneys and ears are
shaped similarly. A water element disharmony in
the cold season can cause problems of the ears or
hearing. Another association to the water element
is the bones and any changes in the head ike hair
loss and premature graying may also suggest an
imbalance of the water element.

The specific
emotional imbalance associated with water element
is fear; and fear can itself injure the Bladder
and Kidney organs. On a brighter note, the
positive emotion is gentleness; being gentle to
yourself as well as to others.

I like to go to sleep early in the winter and
sleep in a little later. During this time of year
it helps the immune system keep everything strong
and healthy.

I’ll eat more root vegetables and have a hardy
soup for dinner at least a few times a week. Here
is one of my favorite recipes that will keep you
warm all winter and the kidneys tonified and warm.

Dr. Wu’s Tonifying Lamb Stew
I made this recipe many times in the colder months
and it keeps your entire system warm. The Lamb
stew is excellent for stomach problems, a good
source of iron and essential oils. It nourishes
the liver, kidneys, tendons and strengthens the
bones.

Ingredients
2 lbs. of lamb
1 Garlic head
1 kohlrabi cubed
Fresh Rosemary (excellent stomach and nerve
curing)
Burdock Root (source of iron and essential oils)
Lotus Root (crunchy texture cools the blood and
stimulates the appetite)
1 Parsnip
1 cup of Sliced Carrots
2 Red potatoes
2 Cubed Turnips
2 cups of fresh Okras cut in half
2 cups Shou wu chih (tonifies blood, nourishes the
liver, kidneys, tendons and strengthens bones)
¼ cup Brags liquid amino acids
1 Tsp. Olive oil
Himalayan Sea Salt to taste
A Few shakes Cayenne pepper
Pure filtered or spring Water
¼ cup of Black fungus

Cooking instructions
1. Cut the lamb into about 1 inch squares. Place
on a skillet, I prefer the old iron ones, and add
about a cup full of olive oil. Add ½ of garlic and
cook in the skillet till meat is brown. Next,
place the browned meat in a large pot. Add about ½
gallon of water. Cook for about an hour or 2 until
the meat is nearly done.

2. While it’s cooking, add a sprig of fresh
Organic Rosemary. Then add the sliced thinly
Burdock right after; it takes the longest to cook.
Stir in the turnip and kohlrabi at the same time.
Let it boil for a while and then add the potatoes
and lotus root and then the 2 cups of Shou wu
chih. Stir in the other half of the garlic and the
okras.

3. Once it’s cooked, add the sea salt, cayenne and
olive oil. Serve.

In the past I have made this dish with venison, or
elk it’s just as good but you may have to add more
olive oil.

Winter is my favored time in South Florida. The
temperature is in the high sixties and the low
seventies and the humidity is low. I am on the
beach every morning doing the Recharging Qi Gong
program. It works on keeping all the organs
healthy and keeps me limber. If I only had one
exercise program to do for my overall health this
would be it, The Recharging Qi Gong program is the
first choice with thousands of people now
practicing in 7 different continents.
