It is impossible to put a dollar amount on human health versus being ill. What we do know is that our experience of life, reality and the world changes completely as our energy levels change and as our health fades. Churchill famously said that “if you’re not progressive in your 20s – you have no… Continue reading the price of health

Most of us recall a moment when our parent or a guardian pointed to a medical doctor and said: “you see that man in a white coat? You have to listen to him. He is a doctor and he’ll make this go away….” Inevitably, at that moment, we gave away some responsibility for our health… Continue reading taking health into one’s own hands

Disease looks very much like a downward spiral – unless we interrupt it, it just keeps getting worse and worse. Typically, we use western medicine drugs to arrest that downward movement – it is a practical and usually: a very fast solution. Acupuncture is an even more powerful tool in stopping the downward spiral oh… Continue reading turning one’s health around (1)

Throughout history humans placed high value on kindness. Christian Saints, Buddhist monks, spoke and meditated on it for centuries. It is one of the hallmarks of being a human. But the way we treat ourselves, how we relate to our own bodies should reflect that too. After all, how kind of a person are we… Continue reading kindness and great lifestyle

Our digestive system evolved over hundreds of generations to mechanically and chemically process for, and extract dozens of ingredients necessary for our survival and eliminate what it doesn’t need.

Our bodies are extremely complex, resilient creations. They adapt quickly and can survive under most challenging physical and emotional circumstances. This can make it hard to tell when we’re damaging them, sometimes until it is too late. In addition to this, Internet, social media, industry and modern life make it harder then ever to decipher… Continue reading human condition theory

Every living thing sleeps and the fact that our science hasn’t issued a clear guidance as to how much is needed doesn’t mean that we can get away with less than what our body demands. You can’t tell your body that you slept enough when you didn’t and if it is ever begging you for… Continue reading poor sleep

Before we focus on details of how to improve and maintain one’s health, let’s take a quick look at what are the most damaging things we should keep an eye on. As you’ll possibly expect they are (in this order): stress, poor sleep, poor diet and lack of physical activity. 1. Stress is a killer,… Continue reading the four riders of the apocalypse

At the most fundamental level, our schools are supposed to teach us two things: how to maintain health and how to make money. They don’t do either but this a topic for another time.

If you think about it, everything we achieve in our life is a result of how much energy we had available. If you wake up tired and spend your days struggling to focus or even move, you will live a very different life story than if you were strong and fit. The reason for this… Continue reading our life stories are written with energy we have

How healthy are you and what is Health, anyway? Is it “the absence of pain”? “Lack of discomfort”? Many equal Health with “lack of symptoms of disease” but that leaves us limited to diseases we already know – what about diseases we haven’t discovered yet? One way to define Health is that it is a… Continue reading health is joy, compassion, bliss…

Like everything else, our health is a result of an effort. The more we put into it, the more likely we’ll get a better result.

I use the principles of eastern medicine and old style acupuncture (also called the five element… Continue reading Human Health 101
