Happy New Year! 3/2008

2008 (2/7/08- 1/25/09) is the year of the Rat in the Chinese Zodiac—a time of renewal, activity, and hard work. The Rat is the first sign in the cycle of the 12 animal signs of Chinese Astrology. It is a good time for new beginnings, opportunity and prosperity.

Spring is also a time for new beginnings and renewal. Spring is the time to cleanse the body, especially the liver and gallbladder. We are excited to offer a class on detoxing (see enclosed flyer). Most courses of this level are only open to health care professionals, but we are offering this course for everyone. This is important information we all need on how to prevent and treat chronic disease and stay healthy in today’s toxic environment. We’d like to encourage you to attend the class and bring anyone you know who would like to lead a healthier life.

We have a brand new website, but we’ve kept our same web address: www.whitemoonhealingcenter.com

It has lots of new photos and pages to check out. This is a great place to refer your family and friends for information on what our clinic has to offer.

In the past few years Mary Helen has taken the following continuing education classes:

Treating Emotional and Psychiatric Disorders with Oriental Medicine by Dr. Mary Rogel. Mary is one of the teachers of the Detox Class Mary Helen will be teaching. She has a PhD in Psychology and worked in that field for many years before becoming an acupuncturist.

Mary Helen attended a seminar by Giovanni Maciocia—one of the most internationally known acupuncturists and author of several Oriental Medicine textbooks. His seminar dealt with the Treatment of Male Disorders as well as Acupuncture Using the 8 Extraordinary Vessels. Mary Helen’s other seminars included: Cosmetic Acupuncture and Dermatology with Dr. Shu Yuan Hung, Tibetan Medicine I & II with Dr. Tenzig Dakpa and Acupuncture and Associated Reproductive Therapy—a class on treating infertility.

Conan joined Mary Helen in taking the following courses: Hormonal Imbalance and Psychosomatic Disorders Treatment with Physiological Regulating Medicine. Dr. Alessandro Perra from the Academy of Biological medicine in Italy taught this course. This is a type of homeopathy working with the principles of homotoxicology and Psycho Neuro Endocrine Immunology (PNEI). We attended a seminar on The Pros and Cons of Pharmaceutical Drugs and Chinese Medicine with Dr. John Chen— a PhD Pharmacist and Oriental Medical doctor. This seminar covered possible herb/drug interactions and herbal safety. We also took Herbal Applications for Female Hormone and Endocrine Disorders with Dr. Angela Hywood— a Naturopath from Australia . We are eager to share all of the new information that we have learned with you.

We are always happy to talk to people on the phone about health concerns. Feel free to call or email us for all you health needs.

Blessings for a Healthy New Year,

Mary Helen & Conan
