A Migraine Testimonial

Last week, one of my patients sent in this letter and requested that it be shared with others:

Dear Amazing Healing,

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Jessica Silver and share my experience with other headache-sufferers via the following testimonial:

I came to Aiyana Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs with a migraine, Chronic Headache Syndrome, and major depression. During the last six years I have been vainly trying to find a cure for my endless suffering. I tried Botox injections, Imitrex, Maxalt, Relpax, and other migraine medication, which only alleviated my pain for several hours. I tried acupuncture at four different places, and I was treated for depression and headaches in a hospital. In addition, I also tried cervical injections at a pain management center to relieve my constant neck pain, which always resonated in my head, adding to my already ever-present headaches. But none of these attempted remedies worked for me. All these years, pain was my shadow, and it was ruining my life completely. I felt like my headaches affected all my actions.

Despite all my failed attempts at finding cure, I kept hoping (against all odds) and looking for the reason why I had these pains and how I could get rid of them. Finally, I was lucky to find Jessica Silver. She patiently explained to me what was going on with my body and what needed to be done to restore it to its natural balance, the upset of which was causing my chronic pain. Upon our first meeting, Jessica astonished me with her vast knowledge of her subject and with her sincere concern for her patients (which is something I had never encountered in another doctor or practitioner before her). After 1.5 months of her treatment with acupuncture and herbs, my headaches are beginning to release their hold on my life and, for short periods of time, my pain goes away completely. This is something I am experiencing for the first time in six years! I wish for all headache-sufferers to experience this relief and to know that it is definitely possible. Do not waste any more time. Go straight to Jessica and you will see a miracle!

Vera, 53.

The Art of Breathing

Breathing seems pretty basic. You inhale… You exhale… You repeat.
It seems odd that one would need lessons on how to breathe, but more and more I am finding myself educating new patients on the importance of deep abdominal breathing.

Over the years, life in a crowded city with chronic pollution problems, lack of fresh air, stationary work environments and overall stress can result in the gradual shift from abdominal breathing to chest breathing. To figure out if you are breathing correctly place one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen. When you take a deep breath in, the hand on the abdomen should rise higher than the one on the chest. This insures that the diaphragm is pulling air into the bases of your lungs.

Instructions for proper abdominal breathing:
Inhale slowly and deeply through your nostrils into the bottom of your abdomen.
When you’ve inhaled fully, pause for a moment and then exhale fully through your mouth. Purse your lips and imagine that you are blowing on a hot spoonful of soup. As you exhale, just let yourself go and imagine your entire body going loose and limp. It should take you twice as long to exhale as it did to inhale.

Getting back to proper breathing isn’t hard but it does take practice. So, make it a point to integrate abdominal breathing at least two to three times into each day and you will see a transformation in your physical and mental health transform.

OBESITY AND DIABETES RISING FASTER IN NYC THAN NATIONALLY

Looks like New Yorkers are beefing up, but not the good kind that comes from more exercise. We're getting fatter each day. According to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, New York City adults gained more than 10 million pounds over a two-year period. That's not good. It is mostly from all the soda and sugar-loaded drinks. These empty calories and excess carbohydrates (aka sugars) will pack on the extra pounds and increase your chances of becoming diabetic.

Two easy ways to combat weight gain are to try having water with your lunch instead of soda and avoid sweets at the office.

Take a look at the beginning of the article:

"Some 173,500 adult New Yorkers became obese and more than 73,000 were newly diagnosed with diabetes from 2002 to 2004, according to a new study from Health Department. The authors, writing in the April 2008 issue of Preventing Chronic Disease, estimated that the citywide weight gain totaled more than 10 million pounds in just two years. The city’s rates of obesity and diagnosed diabetes both increased by 17% during the two-year study period. By contrast, the rest of the nation experienced just a 6% increase in obesity prevalence and no increase in diabetes diagnoses."

Even food writers, restaurateurs, and chefs are slimming down, as was stated in an article from the New York Times last week. Now that is truly amazing.

We're just a week into spring, so think about changing your eating and exercise habits!

Video games not just for couch potatos

According to this press release, video games are not just for couch potatoes anymore. When played regularly, the game called Dance Dance Revolution can actually improve fitness. I still think kids should get most of their exercise the old fashioned way. Go outside and play!

Can a Video Game Make Your Kids More Fit? Exclusive American Council on Exercise (ACE)

Research Proves Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) Can Be a Tremendous Workout

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Feb. 6, 2008

Based on the growing popularity of video games that eliminate conventional hand controllers in favor of more full-body interaction, the American Council on Exercise (ACE) put Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) to the test.

The ACE commissioned research out of the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, focused on quantifying DDR’s potential physical benefits. Looking at the caloric expenditure data of 24 volunteers, researchers determined that it is comparable to many other aerobic activities and could result in significant weight loss if used regularly.

Led by John Porcari, Ph.D., FACSM and Anna Norlin, M.S., male and female subjects, ages 12 –25 years old were recruited for the study. Half the volunteers were under the age of 18 and enlisted from the local La Crosse Boys & Girls Club.

Based on the physiological responses to three levels of DDR, all subjects showed a marked increase in exercise intensity as they participated. Adult participants burned more calories, which can be attributed to differences in body weight since the adults averaged about 25 pounds heavier than teenage subjects.

On average, subjects burned: 5.9 kcal/min on light mode, comparable to an easy walk on a treadmill. 6.7 kcal/min on standard mode, equivalent to riding a bike about 12 to 14 miles and hour and 8.1 kcal/min on difficult mode, similar to the benefits people get with high-impact aerobics.

All study participants, regardless of their experience with DDR, were required to practice a pre-determined four song dance sequence for up to six hour-long practice sessions or until their could demonstrate proficiency. Testing included continuously monitoring all participants of their oxygen uptake, heart rate and ratings of perceived exertion.
Researchers used a home-based version of the game called DDR Extreme 2 ($35; musicineverydirection.com) for Sony PlayStation 2 ($150; playstions.com) with a $40 dance pad.

Author of Chinese Medicine & Healthy Weight Management an evidence-based integrated approach

Happy Feaster!

For my family, every holiday that comes seems like a great excuse to eat, eat, eat! (last year we actually dubbed the term Happy Feaster because of all the food we had!) While spending time with family and friends over a delicious meal is one of my favorite things to do, sometimes we can go overboard with all the meats, starches and desserts; which is why this year I am also bringing an herbal formula called Bao He Wan

Bao He Wan is a Chinese herbal formula that promotes digestion, removes stagnated food and regulates the stomach. The herbal formula is used for the retention of food, bloating, or distension and fullness in the abdomen. I really like this formula as it can even be used as a preventative to take before overindulging.

For more information, or if you would like to purchase Bao He Wan from our clinic, please call us at 212-894-0767 or email us at amazinghealing@gmail.com.

Acupuncture with IVF: A Recipe for Success

Fertility clinics nationwide are starting to include acupuncture as a part of IVF treatment!

Especially in light of last month's latest published research, this makes a lot of sense. As practitioners of Chinese medicine, my colleagues and I are constantly working closely with women undergoing all types of fertility treatment and are aware of the many benefits Chinese medicine has to offer. Even so, it's exciting to see more and more connections being built between western and eastern fertility treatments.

Specifically as a support for IVF treatment, acupuncture boosts the chances of conception when given directly before and after the transfer of embryo into the uterus.

Last month, an analysis pooled results from seven studies on 1,366 women in the United States, Germany, Australia and Denmark who were having in vitro fertilization, or IVF. When the results from all the studies were pooled, researchers found that the odds of conceiving went up about 65 percent for women given acupuncture. IVF results in pregnancy about 35 percent of the time. Adding acupuncture might boost that to around 45 percent, the researchers said.

Results were published in the British medical journal, BMJ. In fertility treatment, acupuncture is able to increase blood flow to the uterus, relax the cervix and inhibit “fight or flight” stress hormones that can make it tougher for an embryo to implant.

Some fertility specialists say they are hopeful that this relatively inexpensive and simple treatment might ultimately prove to be a useful add-on to traditional methods.

“It is being taken more seriously across our specialty,” and more doctors are training in it, said Dr. William Gibbons, who runs a fertility clinic in Baton Rouge, La., and is past president of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology.

Dr. Francisco Arredondo, who runs Reproductive Medicine Associates of Texas said he started offering acupuncture in October, after patients requested it and because some studies suggested it helped.

We're looking forward to hearing about more reproductive medicine clinics doing the same!

Migraine Blog.

I have become a frequent reader of the New York Times blogs, and within the Well blog, I found the migraine blog which peaked my interest. There are entries from sufferers Jeff Tweedy of Wilco & Oliver Sacks, the neurologist and author, among other famous writers & doctors. There is also an amazing slideshow featuring "migraine art"

Here is a sample of Jeff Tweedy's entry:

Boy Meets Pain

I honestly do not remember a time in my life when I did not have headaches, and know what they were and know they were called migraines. My mother was a migraine sufferer, and my sister is as well. Now, if I was having legitimate migraines or I just called every headache a migraine because my mother had them, I don’t know for sure, but, like I said, I don’t remember a time in my life when I wasn’t having them.
As a kid, I did miss a lot of school because I would periodically dehydrate myself — I would vomit a lot with each migraine and it would be really hard to stop. It would often continue that way for hours and hours — 12 hours sometimes. And I went to see a lot of doctors. I remember long periods sitting around in doctors’ offices waiting to get shots. At one point they determined my migraines were the result of allergies, so I got numerous allergy tests and it turned out I was allergic to everything. I don’t think they ever tested me for an allergy that didn’t come up positive. As a result I got allergy shots twice a week after school for years. I got really good at getting shots as a young kid when a lot of other kids were deathly afraid of them. But it never helped the migraines.

Nighttime Snack Attack

In need of a bedtime snack but need to get to bed (or back to sleep) in a hurry? Look no further than these helpful suggestions from Joy Bauer, registered dietitian and founder of Joy Bauer Nutrition.

Bedtime Snacks that Help You Sleep

One of the best natural sedatives is tryptophan, an amino acid component of many plant and animal proteins.Tryptophan is one of the ingredients necessary for the body to make serotonin, the neurotransmitter best known for creating feelings of calm, and for making you sleepy.
However, the trick is to combine foods that have some tryptophan with ample carbohydrate. That’s because in order for insomnia-busting tryptophan to work, it has to make its way to the brain to be converted to serotonin, and cause sleepiness.

Serotonin-producing bedtime snacks should be no more than 200 calories and should be eaten at least 30 minutes prior to bed.

Here are a few great ideas:

For Adults...
--6-8 oz container of non-fat, flavored yogurt topped with 2 tablespoons low-fat granola cereal

--Sliced apple with 1-2 teaspoons natural peanut butter

--3 cups low-fat popcorn sprinkled with parmesan cheese

For Teens...

--One cup healthy cereal with skim milk

--Low-fat granola bar

--Scoop of vanilla or strawberry low-fat ice cream

For Children...
--1/2 cup low-fat vanilla pudding

--1/2 banana with 1-2 teaspoons peanut butter

--One cup skim milk with a bunch of grapes (or other fruit)

What NOT to have before bed:

Joy recommends avoiding the following, which cause difficulty sleeping: caffeine, alcohol, large meals, and liquid drinks 90 minutes before bed.

Cheers!

St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Monday this year, which means some of you will be paying for it Tuesday Morning with a throbbing head, cotton-ball mouth, and nausea. While you can’t “un-drink” all those Guinness,' you can get hangover relief from another tropical beverage:

Coconut water

Different from coconut milk, coconut water is the juice that spills out when you crack open a coconut. "With about 60 calories in each 11-ounce serving, the juice has a subtle sweetness that makes it great for sipping anytime, but it really shines for morning-after recovery. Each serving packs a walloping 660 mg of potassium, an important electrolyte, while most sports drinks, touted for their electrolyte content, contain only 44 mg."

That’s important because alcohol, a diuretic, dehydrates your body and leaches out the electrolytes—the sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium—your body needs to regulate blood pH, muscle function, and cellular activity. When electrolyte levels drop, the hallmark hangover symptoms result. Alcohol also breaks down in your body into a slightly toxic compound called acetaldehyde. This metabolic byproduct contributes to those post-party head and body aches as well.

“It has 15 times the electrolytes of the leading sports drink and two bananas’ worth of potassium per serving, with less sugar, no fat, and none of the artificial ingredients found in all of the leading sports drinks.”

Once found only in tropical climes, coconut water is quickly spilling into the American market, with companies like Vita Coco, O.N.E., Zico, CocoWater, and Amy and Brian all offering it.

You can find coconut water at most natural grocers or your closest palm tree.

And please remember to drink responsibly!

Gou Qi Zi AKA Goji Berries!

Article by: Michael G. Pingicer, M.S., L.Ac.

I am a member of the Park Slope Food Coop and have been for many years. Members are required to work 2.75 hours every 4 weeks in order to keep the cost of running the place to a minimum. The result is a wonderful break on food prices that are 20 - 40 percent below market price. The department that I choose work in is the food processing department. This is where multiple bulk foods are broken down into varied purchasable sizes. The foods that fall under this category are dried fruits, nuts, olives, cheese, teas, and spices. It has always been a pleasure working in this department, as I learn a lot about the varied types of these foods from NY State Tilsit cave-aged cheese to Russian caravan tea.

One day when I was working my shift, I was told that we were stocking a new item at the Coop: goji berries, a.k.a. gou qi zi/Chinese wolfberry. Being a NCCAOM Board Certified Chinese Herbalist and a professor of TCM dietetics, this addition intrigued me and was pleasantly surprising. Goji berries are a part of the traditional Chinese herbal (TCM) pharmacopeia as are many other "food-herbs," herbs that can not only be taken in herbal decoction but can also be eaten in everyday life. Goji berries are also a mainstay at Chinatown markets and apparently, they had made the crossover into a Western market or at least the Park Slope Food Coop.

Spring Forward!

On Saturday we should have changed our clocks forward one hour (which means we lost an hour of sleep) but it also means that come Monday at 5pm when I am leaving work, the sun will still be out!
Spring is slowly but surely coming, and I for one can’t wait ;)

“Spring: It is the long-awaited change of winter to spring. Seeds sprout, flowers bloom, and the sun warms the earth. There is a sense of renewal and new life all around. While winter was a time to conserve energy and reduce activity, spring is a time of regeneration, new beginnings, and a renewal of spirit.”

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), spring is the ideal time for cleansing, rejuvenating, and for overall health and well-being. Spring corresponds to the "wood" element, which in TCM is related to the liver. The liver is responsible for the smooth flowing of Qi (energy) throughout the body. When the liver functions smoothly, physical and emotional activity throughout the body also runs smoothly.

Make the best of the springtime!

Stretch ~ since the liver is responsible for maintaining a free flow of Qi, start your days off by stretching before you get out of bed in the morning to maintain tendon health and flexibility.
So put some “spring” in your step and move your Qi!

Eat Green ~ green is the color of the liver and of springtime. Eating young plants such as fresh, leafy greens, sprouts, and dandelions can improve the liver’s overall functions and aid in the movement of qi.

Go Sour ~ foods and drinks with sour tastes stimulate the liver's qi. Put lemon or lime slices in your drinking water, use flavored vinegar and olive oil for your salad dressing. Have a sour pickle with that sandwich.

Get Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal treatments~ Acupuncture and Oriental medicine can help improve the overall health of your liver as well as treat stress, anger and frustration, which are often associated with liver qi disharmony.

Chicken Recall in NY & PA

22,000 pounds of chicken have been recalled by four companies because they may contain the bacteria called listeria. Pregnant women should be especially aware of this danger (see details below).

Some symptoms of food poisoning are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps. Listeriosis symptoms also include fever, muscle aches and pains, and if it spreads to the nervous system could lead to headache, loss of balance, confusion and even convulsions. However, pregnant women may only experience mild flu-like symptoms.

According to WebMD, "In the United States, an estimated 2,500 people become seriously ill with listeriosis each year. In pregnant women, the infection can result in premature delivery, serious infection of the newborn, or even stillbirth.

Listeriosis affects mainly pregnant women, newborns, and adults with impaired immune systems. Healthy adults and children occasionally are infected with L. monocytogenes, but they rarely become seriously ill. Babies can be born with listeriosis if their mothers eat contaminated food during pregnanc."

Two of the local companies which recalled chicken products are Discover Cuisine Red Curry Chicken & Jasmine Rice and Gourmet Boutique of Jamaica, N.Y.

Be Well,

Speaking of Anti-depressants...

Jesse recently blogged about the mediocre efficacy of anti-depressants for depression. So, speaking of antidepressants, they don't help low back pain either.

A study published on January 23, 2008 by the well respected Cochrane Review showed that anti-depressants do not relieve low back pain despite the fact that about one in four primary care doctors prescribe them for such pain. The anti-depressants did however cause side-effects.

Clinical trials show that acupuncture relieves low back pain without causing side-effects. According to medicinenet.com, “In an analysis of 33 studies, published in 2005, acupuncture was found to be an effective short-term treatment for low back pain, even when compared with sham treatments using fake acupuncture,” says Eric Manheimer, MS, of the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Maryland. "Our analysis suggested that the benefits of acupuncture for low back pain are not due to a placebo effect," Manheimer tells WebMD.” Check out this video on WebMD that interviews a patient whose back pain was relieved with acupuncture.

How does it work? There is a saying in Chinese medicine, "Where there is pain, there is no free flow and where there is free flow there is no pain." The free flow is of Blood and Qi (pronounced "chee"). Health is when Qi and Blood flow smoothly throughout the body to nourish, heal and balance.

Your practitioner at Aiyana Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs will spend a considerable amount of time with you during your first visit to discover where your Qi and Blood are stagnated or out of balance and why. The where and why are called a pattern of energetic disharmony. The acupuncture points and herbs chosen are appropriate to balancing your unique pattern of disharmony.

Every person’s pain pattern is different, so you will be treated based upon your individual pattern. One pattern may manifest as stagnation of Qi and Blood thus inhibiting flow into or out of the painful area.

A pattern common to chronic pain patients is that there is not enough Qi or Blood to circulate into the affected area which slows or inhibits healing. Therefore the treatment strategy would be to build, nourish and circulate Qi and Blood to that area.

In cases of acute pain, the pattern may be excess Qi and Blood stagnation in the painful area, so your practitioner will insert needles to move out the excess, thus relieving pain. These are just a few common clinical patterns which may cause pain.

How many visits will I need? Each patient's needs vary according to their pattern of disharmony. However, we often recommend that the patient come in for about 8 visits within a 2-3 week period. Many acute injuries only require about five to eight visits, whereas chronic pain patients will need more treatment. Most patients start to feel relief after the first or second treatment. Your acupuncturist will give you a tailored treatment plan during your first visit.

Antidepressant Drugs Don't Help?

A new study doubts the effectiveness of antidepressant drugs. Antidepressant medications appear to help only very severely depressed people and work no better than placebos in many patients, British researchers said on Monday.

Researchers reviewed a series of studies, both published and unpublished, on four antidepressants examining the question of whether a person's response to these drugs hinged on how depressed they were before getting treatment.

The drugs involved were Prozac, Effexor, Paxil, and Serzone, which are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs.

The researchers found that compared with placebo, these new-generation antidepressant medications did not yield clinically significant improvements in depression in patients who initially had moderate or even very severe depression. The study found that significant benefits occurred only in the most severely depressed patients.

The researchers obtained data on all the clinical trials submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the licensing of the four drugs.

Not everyone is accepting the outcome of this study as the truth. Mary Ann Rhyne, a spokeswoman for Paxil maker GSK, said the study only looked at data submitted prior to the drug's U.S. approval. "The authors have failed to acknowledge the very positive benefit these treatments have provided to patients and their families who are dealing with depression and they are at odds with what has been seen in actual clinical practice," Rhyne said.

Whether or not the drugs are effective for treating depression, it is important to know that there are other, natural treatments available to help. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs have been treating depression and other emotional disorders for centuries, and without risk of side effects.
