Opinion: The US food system is killing Americans — CNN Akash Goel, Michel Nischan, Bill Frist and Tom Coliccio write that now, more than ever, it is critical to address nutrition insecurity in America head on. While food insecurity is about providing more food, nutrition insecurity is about providing the right food, so we and our children can build the....

Hello EKB Acupuncture Community, Patients and Friends! Hope everyone is being gentle and loving with themselves and staying nourished from within during these energetic and emotional times. Green smoothies are an amazing way to get a lot of nourishment into your system all at once in an easily absorbable form! Getting my green juices, smoothies and salads back in my daily diet and the processed and refined food out has been a game changer in getting me back on track from within, back in my own skin and with a more positive perspective again. Took a week or two but worth it when you are finally pulled out of the hopeless abyss you felt you were in. I started with a 2 day juice cleanse purchased from My Organic Juice in Boca because I had no energy or motivation to make my own 2 weeks ago...but after flushing my system with healing organic juices for 2 days it reset my tastebuds, cleaned out my digestive system and finally gave my body something usable to work with to make me energy from within again! I have been eating real nourishing foods ever since and finally felt excited and motivated to make a smoothie myself today!!! I have battled with depression much of my life and discovered that it is definitely linked to lack of nourishment/digestive health (ability for body to make fresh, clean and abundant blood and Qi) and stagnation (unprocessed experiences, energies, emotions). Now that I am back to yoga for almost 3 weeks now and 2 weeks into making sure I ingest healing foods everyday as a priority....I can feel the light in my soul shining again and I am feeling much happier, more hopeful and as a side-benefit...less bloated!!! Sending unconditional love, supportive and protective energy to everyone and I am here if you need an energy tune-up to help body to process/clear the last few months of intense energetic and emotional impact and get reset, strong and grounded once again in the new energy!!! 🧚🏻‍♀️🙌🏻💓💓💓
****if you are on medication and intend on doing juices only...you need to consult with your prescribing medical Dr to make sure there are no contraindications between the healing foods and the medications. For example...blood thinners and greens juices do not mix. It is one or the other or the blood will get too thin. Also, certain citrus fruits cannot be taken with certain medications. Please speak to your prescribing medical dr first before doing a cleanse. Can start by just adding more fruits and veggies to your diet (that are allowed with your medication), drinking more water and taking a good refrigerated probiotic! Body will still benefit immensely!🤗

*forgot to mention adding 1 tbsp of D-mannose to clean the urinary tract in ingredient list below. 🤗

Another all veggie smoothie to nourish the blood and Qi!!🥰🙌🏻💓

Today’s nourishing smoothie!!!🧚🏻‍♀️🙌🏻💓

One of my favorite kinds of savory smoothies!!! I like to call it a salad smoothie/green soup smoothie or all veggie smoothie! Soooo yummy and I actually prefer this smoothie cold. So I always enjoy the 2nd one more, after it has been refrigerated.🥰. Great way to get a lot of veggies/herbs and healing foods into your body all at once to keep you nourished and your immune system strong. 🍋🥒🥑🥕🌶🥬🌱💪🏼🧚🏻‍♀️

When I was younger, I was plagued with stomach problems. I sometimes missed school because of how awful I felt and later in my adult life it seemed everything I ate made me have that disgusting bloated feeling. It wasn’t until I learned about the processed food industry and began eating real nutritious food that these problems disappeared. That’s because sugar, refined carbs, certain food additives and junk foods all contribute to poor gut health and cause inflammation. If only I knew then what I know now! Recent studies have shown that 70% of our immune system is in the gut. This means when our gut is healthy, we are too. Please share and spread the word!

Our family’s morning immune system booster: nourishes 3 people
Fruit smoothie w/ leafy greens
(1.5 cups Blackberries, 1 cup raspberries, handful red grapes, 1 green apple, 1 red apple, 3 tangerines, handful of frozen organic fruit to make smoothie creamier, 5 romaine lettuce leaves, 1.5 inch cube fresh peeled ginger)
Probiotics (opened 3 capsules and added powder only to smoothie)
Spirilina (3 tbsp)
Organic ground flaxseed (4 tbsp)
Colloidal silver liquid (3 drops)
Raw Honey (2 tbsp)
Fill blender one-third of a way with dairy free milk (I use almond milk or ripple) of your choice and another one-third with water.
Blend and enjoy!
I have been using what I have and am almost ready for another shop for produce and new healing powders/foods/herbs to add to smoothies. I would use raw unfiltered honey...but we ran out and that is all they had at Costco. No TP...but I got us some raw honey, fresh produce and probiotics...so all will be well. 🤣🙏🏻🍇🍏🥬💪🏼
The last pic is what I took before ingesting my smoothie to further support my immune system. I suggested to my fam to also take their oil of oregano and cold calm today (trying not to be too pushy..while being pushy...lol...which is why I snuck the colloidal silver and probiotics into the smoothie). I took 2 tablets of homeopathic cold calm for prevention followed by one drop of oil of oregano sublingually (under the tongue). It burns for a minute, so decided I would chase it with my immune boosting smoothie to cut the burn!
Hope everyone is being gentle with themselves at this time. Make sure to stay hydrated (drink half your body weight in ounces of water each day), eat lots of fruits and veggies, avoid processed and difficult to digest foods, rest when needed, exercise/yoga/move your body in some way each day, and can do breathing exercises/meditations/acupressure/Epsom salt baths/diffusing immune boosting essential oils in home/receiving holistic care to keep the cup filled up and create strong immunity from within! We are going to all come out of this stronger and healthier than before if we get back to basics and take care of ourselves and each other. Also, respecting the quarantine/sanitizing rules for the greater good is key to speeding up the process of healing this viral energy on our planet! Wash your hands and stuff your face with real healing foods! Here if anyone has any questions or needs any healing advice! Sending love and a distance hug to all!!!🙌🏻💓💓💓💓

Hello EKB Acupuncture patients and friends,

I have made the difficult decision to close my office next week in order to help limit exposure and nip this coronavirus in the bud much sooner. I will be reassessing the situation at the end of each week for the following week. I will be making a cancellation list and will contact you when we are able to resume in office visits. I will be available for wellness/immune boosting phone consultations and distance energy healings, in the meantime, and I am here if you need anything! Sending everyone so much love, protection and angelic support during this unprecedented time. Stay well and take care of yourselves, your families and each other. 🙏🏻🙌🏻🧚🏻‍♀️💓💓💓

Traditional medicines help 85 per cent of virus cases, Chinese officials claim Ancient remedies play a complementary role to Western drugs in fighting the potentially deadly infection, officials, doctors say.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is helping make sure patients recover from coronavirus!!!

https://www.facebook.com/783190141/posts/10163043846535142/?d=n

23 recover from virus after TCM treatments - Chinadaily.com.cn The first group of 23 patients have recovered from novel coronavirus pneumonia and were released on Wednesday morning from Jiangxia makeshift hospital, the first medical institution entirely managed by traditional Chinese medicine doctors.

The Eastern/Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective on viruses-cold/flu is different then the present mainstream western medicine perspective. In Traditional Chinese Medicine we understand viruses as external energetic invasions from the environment by pathogenic factors such as wind/heat/cold/damp/dry that are able to invade our protective Qi and create illness/imbalances in the body. In order to avoid and/or successfully heal from these invasions we re-balance, support and protect our energy/Qi from within with acupuncture/cupping and dietary/herbal/lifestyle recommendations. When we know how to support our immune systems/energy systems there is no need to be fear the flu virus...no matter what its name is. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we treat viruses by diagnosing the specific energy pattern they are presenting in your energy/Qi system and then use acupuncture points/cupping when indicated (mostly to clear lung congestion for cold/flu) to re-balance the energy. We prescribe healing foods/herbs/natural remedies to use at home to resolve the virus faster and have you feeling even stronger after. Below are my favorite cold/flu remedies and my general regiment. Keep in mind that this is a general regiment and I can give you a more specific one based on your specific pattern of disease/disharmony if you PM me.

When actively sick w/sore throat, I take 1 drop oil of oregano sublingually (under the tongue) every 4-6hrs until sore throat gone. When actively sick without sore throat, I take 1x a day sublingually. For prevention (when I am feeling rundown/scratchy throat or around others who are sick) I take 1x a day. Amazing to heal sore throat quickly and kills strep/stomach bugs/lung infections. Chase with water/juice and/or 1 tbsp organic raw unfiltered honey. Can get the oil of oregano in capsule form, as well, if you really can’t handle taking it sublingually and would still like to benefit. Keep in mind that oil of oregano taken in capsule form will be more effective for killing bacteria/viruses in the digestive system and less effective for treating acute sore throat (sublingually is best for cold/flu w/ sore throat). Capsule form of oil of oregano or only used topically diluted in coconut oil is best for children depending on their age. For the sinus congestion, I spray the colloidal silver in my nostrils every few hours until well! If you have chest congestion, can add in the homeopathic syrup Chestal (1 capful every 4-6 hrs until well). Homeopathic Cold calm and oscillococcinum good to take as needed for prevention, at first signs of cold/flu and every 4-6 hours throughout cold/flu to shorten the severity and duration of sickness🧚🏻‍♀️🙌🏻💓💓💓💓. To coat and heal your throat can take 1 tbsp organic unrefined virgin coconut oil and 1 tbsp raw or manuka honey every few hours.

Extra immune boosting tips:
Rest and lots of water/tea w/raw honey-lemon-fresh ginger and/or garlic/nourishing Whole Foods...and organic when possible-especially for foods with thin protective outer skins like berries and lettuce/greens. Probiotics (capsule form (Garden of life is my favorite brand for probiotics right now) and from fermented foods/drinks). Avoid dairy/refined flours/refined sugars (if part of your diet)until congestion completely gone! Eating a larger percentage of fruits (especially citrus-lemon/orange), veggies (better to be steamed/warmed if you are living in colder environments) and fermented foods/drinks, and staying hydrated and rested is imperative at this time to keep your bodies built up and immune systems strong and resilient! Also, stress and fear depress our immune systems so it is important during this time to tune out the media and to practice healthy ways to alleviate stress/process our emotions and build our energy systems back up with things such as healing foods-herbs/exercise/yoga/Epsom salt baths/meditation/receiving energy work such as Acupuncture, etc. 🥰

Hope this is helpful to any of my patients and friends who have been freaking out about the coronavirus and please feel free to ask me any questions in the comments! This is a time to nourish ourselves and conserve our Qi for prevention of illness and ability to recover faster when sick. Also, stay warm internally with tea/warmed foods/bundling up (if you are feeling cold/chills) this week because we have wind/cold pathogenic factors from the environment upon us with a cold front this weekend! Since it is also windy outside, do not sit directly under a fan..as it will make it easier for external wind to invade your Qi! Stay hydrated, rested and well everyone!🧚🏻‍♀️🙌🏻💓💓💓

Traditional Chinese Medicine is amazing and I am blessed to practice it and share it with all of you! Those who are receiving traditional Chinese medicine/acupuncture/herbs/Food Therapy as part of their treatment plans in China are surviving the coronavirus! Integrated medicine is where it is at and dying from the flu is unnecessary when you have the best of both worlds!

One of Nature’s most potent and effective antibiotics. I utilize colloidal silver’s benefits in the form of a nasal spray used at the first sign of sinus infection and it usually nips it in the bud right away or within a day! Great addition to your healing cabinet, especially during cold/flu season!🙌🏻🤗💫

Colloidal Silver’s Advantage Over Pharmaceutical Antibiotics Could the use of colloidal silver, a natural antibiotic that has been used for thousands of years, be a key answer to today's problem of pharmaceutical antibiotic overuse leading to drug-resistant pathogens? The beginning of the end for pharmaceutical antibiotics is blamed on its overuse, both with....
