More and more kids these days, their schedules fill up. Not just with schoolwork but also with some kind of sports. Just about every child will explore some kind of sport or the other in their life. So sports injuries are very common. You've done a fantastic job of integrating acupuncture and Eastern medicine with Western medicine.  What is your experience, when it comes to rehabilitative medicine; particularly with acupuncture and Western medicine? Sophia Bouwens, L.Ac.: I think, I really appreciate that point that you made there, that we integrate both of them. Because I don't think that it's one or the other, …

Emily Fehr, CMT, NCPT practices at JADA Studios and has 10 years of experience (08/28/2019)

Sophia Bouwens, L.Ac of JADA Studios Q: Is acupuncture for pain just a placebo effect?  A: The placebo effect is something that has gotten a lot of attention in our field, in the past eight years even, and I can say that now there are really good studies out there that prove it's not placebo. There are indications from different studies that study certain points and their effect under a functional MRI, resonance imaging. We have started to see that points that are classically known to help pain all over the body can talk to parts of the brain. For example, LI4 …

Light In The Dark Times

Rhonda Battisto, Spring Forest Qigong Master Healer and Instructor practices at Wonder Horse Healing and has 20 years of experience (09/18/2019)

At a lovely solstice ceremony with beautiful, accomplished women gathered, several spoke of what a dark and challenging year it had been for them. Severe illnesses and deaths had occurred all around. A reviled president took office; humans and human rights are in peril. Some of us lost or changed jobs, or retired, others provided caregiving for aging and dying parents. Though not all of us referred to personal losses, many of our lives have been in a constant flow of heart-altering transitions. At the end of the symbolic lighting ceremony, one of the guests asked: “Did anything good happen …

Wherever You Go, There You Are

Rhonda Battisto, Spring Forest Qigong Master Healer and Instructor practices at Wonder Horse Healing and has 20 years of experience (09/18/2019)

Wherever you go…there you are. The only common denominator in your life – through wildly happy, fortunate, healthy, robustly alive – or terribly sad, poor, sick, and lethargic times – is you. You are there through it, interacting with it all, and dare I say…tilting the tables in very specific directions with your thoughts and words – not to mention your actions. One of my sisters and me used to have a joke: “It’s all about you!” I have come to realize that it is no joke…it actually IS all about you, because you are with you at all times. …

Dear Friends, Life is happening all around and through us.  Yes!  And…are you in touch with the vibrant aliveness that is YOU? Are you perceiving signs of awakening, growth and change in and around you? Can you see buds on trees and plants emerging from the ground? Hearing the birds sing? What else are you noticing? After a very snowy winter, I’m thrilled to see the evidence of it melting away with sunny days and powerful moon phases. I look forward to being outdoors much more – without a shovel in hand! I’m excited to make positive changes, grow into and through challenges, …

The Controversy Surrounding Chronic Lyme disease

Dr. Kyle Warren, DC, CFMP: Lyme disease has an acute illness, it’s like a flu, you can get a rash, you get headaches, you get sick, you get fever.  So, we know this is not the controversial portion of Lyme.  Yes, people get Lyme every summer there’s a tick-borne season; has about a week to three-week incubation period so you get bit and then usually get symptoms a week to three weeks later.  This is not what people argue about. The argument is about what happens about 20% of the time, 10-20% of the time… Controversy #1: What is Chronic Lyme or Post Treatment Lyme …

Important Lessons in Chronic Lyme

Dr. Kyle Warren, DC, CFMP of Restorative Health Solutions shares a heart-wrenching patient story... We have a patient who really struggled for five years with this mysterious illness. She’s a highly educated professional, holds an advanced degree and was in her business, has started her family, and all of a sudden started to get ill.  She went to see lots of doctors, very expensive, down to The Mayo Clinic; very common when something gets mysterious that we’re down to The Mayo Clinic.  About a third of our people (patients) have been to The Mayo Clinic, and still couldn’t quite grab the answers. And five …

Addressing Chronic Lyme; Co-Infections and Testing: What Everyone Should Know!

Dr. Kyle Warren, DC, CMFP explains... We undoubtedly know that Lyme disease is extremely common in Minnesota.  Minnesota is the #5 state in the country, Wisconsin is #4 so if we’re here, we know we're dealing with Lyme disease on a semi-frequent basis. 300,000- 400,000 cases per year in The US, and when you look at the data, that means 40,000ish in MN... 45,000-50,000 in WI, and if you think 10-20% of these are going chronic, we’ll say 8,000 cases a year, every year in MN that’s adding to this mysterious Lyme disease problematic population.  And this has been going on for years, which …

From Severe Allergies to Complete Allergy Elimination?!

So I started seeing Dr. Wilson just over a year ago, and I was experiencing a lot of health issues. I had been to a lot of different doctors and everyone was telling me there wasn't anything wrong with me. And it was interesting coming here for the first time because Dr. Wilson was different from day one. He was very interested in hearing me, what was important to me, the issues that I was having, and really seemed to care about addressing those issues and getting me into a better state of health. So he did some extensive testing with …
