Treating the “Hole Person”.

Preview of “Treating the "hole Person" copy”I recently attended a presentation by Jeff Campbell, a friend who is an Acupuncturist.  His main focus in the talk was about how he and his wife, Heather, a Registered Dietician, approach their patients as “whole people” and prescribe a plan with that in mind. 

They understand that more often than not the reason a person comes to them is because of symptoms… not a particular illness.  He said a mistake often made in the medical field is to treat the symptom without looking at the whole person to determine what the symptoms are telling you.  Eliminating the symptoms does not always provide a long-lasting cure.

Flu Bug on Steroids…

This has been one of the worst years on record for the flu… record breaking.

THE MEETING OF THE BORED.

Meetings… We’ve all had to attend a meeting that wasn’t our first choice of things to do.  I spent most of my working career in insurance and believe me, most of the ones I attended fit that category.

I saw a notice on a bulletin board recently announcing the time and place for a Board Meeting.  I couldn’t get it out of my mind.  I don’t even know what the Board Meeting was about.  Continue reading THE MEETING OF THE BORED.
