Health is Beauty and Beauty is Health

Anti Aging Treatments, a combination approach of mesotherapies, acupuncture and microcurrent with added homeopathic remedies to increase the clinical outcome,

My belief is that" Health is Beauty and Beauty is Health", as an Acupuncture Physician I strives to marry the modalities of natural medicine and cosmetic and anti aging medicine.

A comprehensive approach to anti aging means not only the assessment of the possible endocrine, metabolic or nutritional imbalances that contribute to aging, especially of the skin or connective tissue: but also to provide effective and safe treatment strategies. This is done as with all other medical interventions through evaluation, history, assessment, physical and laboratory evaluation. As clinicians we are able to address the main cosmetic aspects that a patient may chiefly or feel present to me their Acupuncture Physician. With the boom of cosmetic procedures and increasingly technical anti aging industry our patients have become very well versed in the possible treatments available to them. Cosmetic procedures are suited to naturopathic practice because they are personalized, preventative, non-invasive, low-risk, involve natural or naturally derived substances.

Lines and wrinkles formation is a well-known sign of skin aging, influenced by both intrinsic and ex-trinsic factors. The numerous intrinsic factors are age, gender, genetic disposition and race. The biological changes attributed to these factors can also be termed chronological aging skin. Extrinsic factors include UV light, weather and climate influences, nutrition, tobacco and alcohol abuse.

The severity of aging may be dependant on these extrinsic aspects. this is known as photo aging, ultimately skin aging is also created an important physiological aspect such as the decreasing of hydration and the barrier and thus immune function, slower cutaneous metabolic activity and a decrease in activity of the sebaceous and sweat glands.

The cosmetic patient coming in for skin concerns will basically have one or more of the following four issues to improve: color, tone, texture and slackening of their skin ( or to eliminate wrinkled skin).

Problems of the skin color or dyschromia may present as situations such as melasma, lentigo, and telengectasia. usually these develop as a result of the effect of UV radiation. the effect on the melanocyte is alteration and migration of melanin to more superficial levels and the action of free radicals on the blood vessels. this is known as photo aging. Problems with the skin tone may be defined as a loss of radiance or uniformity. The most effective treatment for the brown and red spots and loss of skin tone is the use of intense pulse light therapies (IPL) with the use of laser platform, but also homeopathy's such as liver tonics will clear these discolorations.

Some factors which are responsible for wrinkle development:

Metabolic factors such as hormonal deficiencies, lack of collagen

Ultraviolet rays ( sunlight over exposure)

Tobacco (diminishes skin oxygenation)

inadequate diet especially lack of adequate quality protein and essential fats.

excess alcohol

loss of teeth/improper chewing

Environmental dryness

absence of cosmetic skincare-important for helping hydration

abrupt weight loss

Gravity (especially affects the eyelids and neck)

sleep lines, caused by prolonged expression during sleep, or accentuation due to side slept on.

Types of wrinkles

Expression wrinkles:

these occur because the skin on its own does not have muscle structures; it is the underlying muscle contraction that determines its shape. As time goes on due to loss of underlying tissue tone and elasticity the skin is not able to relax and so the initial wrinkles in the skin remain and worsen.

These may be much more evident at,

- the external angle of the eyes (crows feet)

-Nasalabial folds

-Forehead

-Glabella area

-perioral lines

-Vertical lines on cheeks

Gravitation Wrinkles:

These are the wrinkles which are accentuated due to loss of fatty tissue, bone loss or loss of teeth.

Eating with the Seasons

In today's society, we live in spaces that are air-conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter, lengthen our short winter days with electric lightening and find the same products at our supermarkets year-round. while these marvels of modern technology can keep us comfortable, they also have a downside-cutting us off from the rhythms of the planet to which we belong. traditional Chinese medicine and its prescription to eat according to the seasons remind us that we are part of something much larger then ourselves.

In traditional Chinese medicine, our relationship to nature is central, as in the Huang Di nei jing su wen's statement, "man comes to life through the qi of heaven and earth; he matures in accordance with the laws of the four seasons" (Unscaled, 2003, p. 3380.) As our vital activities are tied closely to nature, we need to stay in harmony with its seasons. As I describe in our diet-this is one of the most direct ways in which we interact with our environment-It is the key to adapting to the natural world.



FOOD, WONDERFUL FOOD: TEMPERATURE, TASTE, AND DIRECTION,

In contrast to Western medicine, which tends to view food through the lens of protein, fat, carbohydrate and vitamin content, traditional Chinese looks at food according to properties that include temperature, taste and direction. These qualities can help guide the selection of the best foods and herbs to eat (and to avoid) depending on your condition, as well as the time of the year.


In consideration the properties of a food according to traditional Chinese medicine, temperature is front and center. this includes both the physical temperature of the food 9piping hot or ice cold) and the thermal effects on the body 9 increasing metabolism until you break a sweat or cooling until you feel the tingle of chills).


On the warmer end of the spectrum, are foods and herbs including ginger, chili peppers, cinnamon, turmeric, nutmeg, green onions, lamb and walnuts. in general, Hot and Warm foods act to warm the Middle Burner to dispel Cold, reinforce the yang qi, and strengthen qi. An excess of Hot foods, however, can create too much Heat in the body and can impair the yin body fluids, especially those of the stomach, liver or lungs.


On the cooler end of the spectrum, are foods and herbs including peppermint, citrus, tofu, milk, lettuce, celery, cucumber, watermelon, clams, and turnips. In general, Cold foods or cooling foods act to reduce fever, relive toxicity or calm the liver. An excess of qi, especially that of the spleen-stomach, heart or kidney. Foods neutral in terms of temperatures, moderate the effects of either extreme.


Another important feature of food is taste:


* The sour taste, associated with the Liver and Gallbladder, tends to constrict and consolidate. ex. of sour foods are lemons, and vinegar.


* The Bitter taste, associated with the hearty and small intestine, tends to improve appetite, move qi downward, and dry dampness. ex. of bitter foods are, melons, and greens, such as kale.


* The Sweet taste, associated with the Spleen and Stomach, supplements, moistens and harmonizes many systems of the body. ex. of Sweet foods are, pumpkins, yams, and carrots-we're advocating naturally sweet, not candy or other sugar-laden foods.


* The spicy/Pungent taste, which is associated with the lung and large intestine, tends to disperse and circulate qi, and invigorate blood. ex. of spicy/pungent foods are, green onions, ginger and pepper.


* The Salty taste, which is associated with the kidney and bladder, tends to soften firm masses, ex. of salty foods are seaweed and clams.


In addition , foods also offer other functions, including promoting certain types of movement, such as ascending, descending, Floating(moving from inside to outside) and sinking(mowing form outside to inside). fresh Ginger, for ex. induces outward movement to counteract wind invasion from a cold or a flu. These directional qualities of food can also help us adapt to the demands of our ever -changing seasonal environment.


SPRING, SUMMER, FALL and WINTER


Because different foods affect our bodies in different ways, varying our diet can help us meet the unique challenges that each season provides. In the Spring and Summer, yang rises to the surface of the body and needs to be replenished. In the Fall and Winter, cold and dry weather challenges the body to stay warm and moist. To stay healthy-maintaining the flow of qi throughout the body and reducing the chance we can suffer from conditions such as the common cold, indigestion or allergies-in general traditional Chinese medicine advises us to use foods to support yang qi in the spring, clear heat in the Summer nourish yin in the Autumn, and warm the body in the Winter .


SPRING

In the Spring, a season of birth and new growth, people should try to support the natural tendencies of their bodies by strengthening the liver and its regulation of qi. As some scholars have described it, in this season there is relative excess of qi and blood in the liver: the liver prefers smooth regulation of qi and blood, but is averse to depression. if we don't adapt to the changing climate, we might be susceptible to health problems particularly common in this season:external attacks of wind Cold or relapse of chronic diseases that have been building through the winter. foods to align your body with the spring are pungent, sprouting, sweet and ascending foods. Eating fewer sour foods(which tend to constrict) is also advisable. good spring foods include, onions, leeks, Chinese yam, wheat, cilantro, mushrooms, sprouts, spinach and other leafy green vegetables.

Summer


In the Summer, yang is at its peak and qi and blood tend to be vigorous throughout the body. potential problems of this season include an over active heart and an excess of yang flowing to the exterior of the body (as in sweat), causing symptoms such as irritability, restlessness and sleeping difficulties. External heat can also be a problem, leading to diarrhea and infections. Especially gastrointestinal disorders
in the summer, food should help balance the heart and help cool and moisten the body. Foods with sour and salty flavors can help manage health problems common to the season. fruits and vegetables help provide sufficient fluids and promote digestion. Good summer foods include watermelon, tomatoes, mung beans, cucumber, lotus root, coix bean sprouts and ocean fish. some soups, such as mung bean seaweed soup, are thought to be especially good at counteracting infections of the gastric-intestinal area.

Late summer

In the Late Summer or hot and rainy areas, also called Indian summer, this season are in transition from summer to not really fall. Dampness is the main environmental factor, which can predispose the spleen's functions to being easily disrupted. This can lead to gastro-intestinal disorders such as; (bloating, gas, decreased appetite or loose stool), a feeling of heaviness and skin problems. You can help your body stay healthy by avoiding foods that tax the spleen, such as overly sweet foods, greasy foods and dairy, as well as eating more bland foods such as coix and soy milk and pine nut porridge.


Fall

In the Fall, the body turns inward to prepare for winter and dryness this often dominates in the environment, this can prompt weakness in the lungs. typical autumn health problems include dry cough, dry nose, dry skin, hair loss and dry stools.
Your diet can support your body in the fall by supplementing the lungs and promoting the production of body fluids. Foods that can help include, lily bulb, white wood ear, pear, pumpkin, nuts and seeds, honey and soy milk. sour foods, such as apple and lemon, can also be helpful in preventing the loss of body fluids.

Winter

In the Winter, the body slows down to save energy and store strength for the spring, and cold appears in the environment. Winter is linked to the kidney, and people are predisposed to disease from weakness in this organ system. such as fatigue, cold limbs, and sexual dysfunctions.
You can help build strength and counteract cold by adding foods in moderation that support the kidney and warm the body, and avoiding an excess of salty foods. goo winter foods include, lamb, beef, Chinese yam, sesame, chestnuts, mushrooms, leeks and nuts.
Of course, all seasons and most circumstances call for a balanced diet, with a sampling of colors, tastes and temperatures. no on food or type of food should be eaten to excess. And variations are recommended depending on an individuals needs and constitution, the phases of a woman's monthly cycle and how old we are. The East Asian view of the body as an ever changing eco-system goes hand in hand with a dynamic approach to food and health.

World-Class Medicine, Providing you with the cutting edge solutions to a present illness.

The Self Regulating Human Body
All we need to do is provide and simply help the body to heal itself,

Physiological Regulating Medicine, (PMR): Is guided by principles of homeopathy and is based upon knowledge in Molecular Biology and especially in Physio-Neuro-Endocrine-Immunology.
PRM arises from revolutionary ideas: to bring a sick organism back to its original physiological conditions by using homeopathic medications containing, besides remedies from homeopathic pharmacopoeia, also and particular those biological molecules, called messenger molecules (*neuropeptides, hormones,* interleukins, and growth factors) that control and regulate organic functions under healthy conditions.
Of particularly innovative value is the therapeutic use of these messenger molecules at very low doses, called physiological low-doses, and above all, activated according to a specific method of pharmaceutical preparation called SKA(Sequential Kinetic Activation), which can render the low dosages as active in the treatment of the most diverse diseases as the high concentrations normally used in clinical pharmacology... but without the latter's side effects.

Difference Between Homeopathy and PRM
PRM is different from Homeopathy. Its method is based on Molecular Biology , PNEI and Quantum Physics more than homeopathic basic principles (Laws of similars, is infinitesimal doses, single remedy). Even the medical approach (diagnosis) to a patient is different. According to PRM diagnosis is based on an objective examination, on the medical and physical essential semiotics, on the interpretation of laboratory tests by means of instrumental examinations and not on the symptoms repertorization like Homeopathy.

Analogies Between Homeopathy and PRM
PRM and Homeopathic medications are prepared following the same method of preparation and remedies coming from homeopathic pharmacopoeia act according to laws of similar and inverting effect. The former are classified and registered as homeopathic medications.
The manufacturing process of PRM medications takes its roots from the homeopathic tradition of dilution-potentization and been standardized in a characteristic pharmaceutical technique called SKA(Sequential Kinetic Activation).


*Cytokines; Hormone-like proteins which regulate the intensity and duration of immune responses.
*Interlukins: A group of multi-functional cytokines that are synthesized by lymphocytes, monocytes, and macrophages.
hormones: A chemical substance carried in the blood that stimulates or inhibits the growth or function of tissues or organs.
*Neuropeptides: An amino acid compound that is responsible for various physiological functions including feeding, reproduction, circadian rhythm, cardiovascular responses, memory, and stress response.

The Rhythmic Vital Force and Physiology of Energy.

"Yin and Yang"


From whatever angle one looks at the Universe, from worlds gravitating in space to the smallest particles of the atom, all is nothing but a perpetual rhythmic movement. Do we not find essentials in the Hermic Laws: "What is above is like what is below.

All is vibration; nothing is inert.
Everything vibrates; everything is double; everything has two sides, everything has two poles."



Terrestrial life, in its animal and vegetable aspect, has evolved under the same law of alteration of ascension and decadence. Must we not submit to the rhythms of periods of dryness and humidity, of hot and cold seasons, of day and night? Human life, physically as well as mentally, obeys the same rhythmic, universal laws of evolution.


When we consider the perpetual instability of our biological equilibrium in the most favorable conditions of health-the movement of regulation which causes us to oscillate from one position to another, from sleep to effort, from maximum to minimum in temperature, from hunger to satiety, from anabolism to catabolism-we understand what mechanism of constant recovery we are carried along from one extreme to another. The mechanism becomes singularly more obvious when we view it in the light of pathological amplification. in fact, whether it is to stop a pathological crisis or maintain the physiological rhythm in its most habitual order, the organism must constantly re-establish an equilibrium which all the natural forces of the environment tend to compromise.


Medical science, which has rejected the old idea of "Vital Force", does not allow us to glimpse how to act on these rhythms of which we more or less feel the importance of in a confused way, depending upon the discipline to which we subscribe.


While homeopathy, a medicine for the constitution, had already given us increased therapeutic possibilities, there was still the need to re-establish certain imbalances. The forces of "Yin-Yang", The universe is oscillation of the two activities, they are both defined only relatively. Yin-Yang, their actions and their mutations are constant. it is obvious that a disequilibrium of these two forces can produce illness. But how should we live in this unique principle?

As always in this delicate subject, certain propositions will be shown to be erroneous, while others will be considered truly prophetic and it is in this spirit we must read and meditate

as Acupuncturists, when in proof of time and daily practice has shown the immense value

and which We know how to manipulate this Rhythmic Energy into harmony with the great rhythm of nature to establish health within .

"The one who has written these truths into the great immortal book of human potentials, is wresting from the vastness of time a morsel of permanence, cannot be said to have lived and worked in vain."



What can Acupuncture Cure?

First, it is advisable to point out that Acupuncture can be used with little risk; it does not introduce poisons foreign elements- into the body; nor does it conflict with other treatment. in fact, it is often reported to augment the effect of chemical or homeopathic medicines, and dosages may often be reduced. the only risk in these conditions is the possibility of failure that leaves the patient in exactly the original state. Thus, Acupuncture can be used with no risk in circumstances where indications for its use are even uncertain.



Acupuncture is capable not only to cure but also to prevent.

The first sign of illness is changes in personality, in fact, this is the very beginning of illness. If Acupuncture is used initially in this first stage, Acupuncture is most effective and sometimes said to be capable of curing anything. All energetic therapies must be considered as first line, prevention measures which avoid the progression of an illness toward a lesion which is more difficult to cure,

Prevention is unquestionably the highest form of medicine, cure what is not yet an illness, but the average person cures only when there is an illness present.

This medicine applies to prevention against future development of disease as well as against the repercussions of illness in organs that are still functioning well.

It is impossible to enumerate all the varieties of functional troubles cured by acupuncture. it is enough to cite some extracts of reports and publications of eminent doctors

in the article Dr, Ferreyrolles and I published in "science Medicale Practique of June 1929, our first results are summarized;

" We have tried the method; the results we have obtained are surprising and unexpected, the immediate cessation of severe sciatic pain and facial neuralgia for which all oher treatments had failed. asthmatic crises stopped in a few moments. Some crises of spasmodic corcyza have had long reissions. Hemorroidshave yielded to treatment. some gastric crisis have had immediate relief. Constipation and urinary incontinence have been cured."

It is amazing at first glance that a treatment so simple and effective- has been known for so short time in USA and Europe. Well, it here for us to enjoy along with its other possibilities, it brings an effective and powerful aid to the battle against suffering and disease. It is my hope that acupuncture will be used and understood by a larger group of people and keep growing in the scientific and medical world as well as in the public view and allow researchers to continue their work more easily so that they may finally attain a complete understanding of its actions on our "Vital Force"
