When Cancer Involves the Liver
It was a home visit and my client had advanced pancreatic cancer, metastasized to the liver. He was struggling with pain and breathing. Liver involvement had given him ascites, an accumulation of fluid in the abdomen. He also had leg swelling and difficulty breathing.

The term detoxification can be interpreted many different ways, from substance abuse and foreign objects in the body to weight loss and "seasonal/regular cleansing." As professional massage therapists, our clients trust in our knowledge to help them to detoxify their bodies.

Footprints in the sand. Footprints in the snow. Where do these footprints go? Some are big, some are small, but footprints are made by all.

Are You Really a Healthy Eater?
I always giggle a little bit (to myself) when someone comes into my office and informs me that they are a healthy eater. What exactly does that mean? Does that mean they eat sugar in moderation? And what's that, exactly?

The recent advances in neuroscience are truly incredible. With this expansion of scientific knowledge, I would like to see even more research into the neuroscientific basic of acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.

Random Apps of Kindness and 100 Days of Prizes
The massage industry is filled with people who constantly give of themselves to help others achieve a healthy life.

The Top Seven Website Mistakes Clinics Make
The majority of acupuncture clinics finally have a website for their business. Having a website is crucial for being found online through Google, Facebook and review sites like Yelp.
