It’s 4 o’clock in the morning and
it’s pitch black outside.
It’s so dark; I can’t even see my
hand in front of my face.
It’s just about the new moon and
although it’s been cloudy and rainy in
South Florida, I can still see some of the
twinkling stars over the deep blue sea.
The reason I’m up so early and on
the beach is I want to get in my Qi Gong
practice today before I travel up north for
the holiday fun – and you know it’s going to be
fun sitting by the fire bundled up being with
my family and friends.

It’s warming up in South Florida
and the snow birds are flying home.
It’s Spring, and a bunch of holidays have
just passed to celebrate the coming of new life.
Spring is in the air!
As the seasons change, it’s time
to pay close attention to your diet.
When the temperature increases, we
will all need a lot more liquids to keep us hydrated.
I drink a lot more water; it’s time to
eat more fruits like plums, pears, and watermelon.
Also soups are one of my favorite
in both the summer and winter.
My friend Jerry Gruber is a fabulous chief
and gave me this recipe for a killer gazpacho soup.
What really makes it so good is the fresh flavor
of all the crisp vegetables.
Cold Gazpacho can be one of summer’s enjoyments.
Gazpacho soup originated from Spain.
It’s traditionally made with ripe tomatoes,
bell peppers, cucumbers, garlic, that is blended
with olive oil, vinegar, vegetable juices and served cold.
Here is Jer’s recipe:
Ingredients:
3 bell peppers (the more color the better)
3 peeled tomatoes
3 cucumbers
2 purple onions
(Seed everything) you don’t want to
get seeds stuck in your teeth.
Dice all veggies (fine).
Take all scraps and put in a blender.
Add enough red wine vinegar to cover
and then add ¼ to ½ cloves of garlic.
Add a pinch of ground caraway seeds and blend in a big pot.
Add ½ large can of V8 32oz can
(I found an organic one at whole foods.
If you can go all organic, it would be the best)
1 Large can of tomato soup –organic
1 can of tomato juice – organic
Add the stuff you strained and then add oil
Add 2 tsp of light weight olive oil and mix gently
Salt, spike (a natural seasoning)
White pepper
Some hot sauce to taste
A splash of Tamari sauce or Braggs amino acid
A little bit of lemon to kick up taste
Chill and add a dab of yogurt just before serving
P.S
It’s also a great time to do a detox program!
Detox-Kit liquid drops combine three homeopathic
remedies to relieve symptoms of illness caused by an
unhealthy lifestyle and/or exposure to environmental toxins.
*Lymphomyosot stimulates the lymphatic system
*Nux vomica-Homaccord stimulates the
gastrointestinal pathway and liver function
*Berberis-Hommacord stimulates the
kidney and gallbladder systems.
Homeopathic remedies are very safe and effective
and can be a great way to detoxify the body,
especially the liver and kidneys. For the colon,
however, nothing comes close to effectiveness of
a high quality fiber supplement that gets in
there and literally scrubs things clean.
Special herbs are also
needed to remove intestinal parasites.
contains a combination of homeopathic remedies
and many traditional Homeopaths believe that the
homeopathic remedies should be given in single
doses and the perfect remedy needs to be
determined for each individual.
I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth, and Happiness,
My son called me this morning at 6:00 am, and said
“Dad, can you believe it- there is two inches of snow
on the ground! and it’s cold again ” He lives in Michigan
where it’s still spring time as the hours of light and
darkness are equal. He told me that he can see green of
the daffodils, tulips and crocus shooting their heads
through the white snow and about to bloom- the new leaves
are appearing on the trees and he said that it was beautiful.
In South Florida we don’t get to see such a dramatic change
because spring is subtle here. Traditionally, it’s the
time to start new beginnings.
As I spring into things with a new burst of energy I will
start to detox my body by fasting for a few days, increase
the amount of liquids I drink, and eat a lot more green
leafy vegetables. I also focus my Qi gong practices on
the wood element -the liver and gall bladder; those are
the organs that are ruling in the spring.
The Spring Equinox also called vernal equinox, the rites of
spring, and our religious holidays like Easter and Passover
are at this time of the year, as the earth is bursting forth
with life once again. The equinox was a few weeks ago and we
are in the midst of holy week and Passover.
As a celebration of spring and of the new YOU, I want
to encourage all of you to increase your Qi Gong practices.
If you don’t already have the Recharging Qi Gong program now
is the time to get it !

Last week it was in the thirties in Florida and that’s really cold for
South Florida. I was talking to a friend who is in Michigan and he
said.
“It’s colder than a witches tit”.
That sounds really cold.
I looked the expression up. Here is what I found.
“The simple explanation is that “colder than a witch’s tit” is just a vivid metaphor, like “hotter than the hinges of hell.” Since a witch is in league with Satan, presumably she has no maternal feelings. Thus the medium by which she would suckle a child is, well, cold as a witch’s tit.
But there’s some history behind this wisecrack. A witch’s tit (or witch’s teat, to use the older spelling) supposedly left a marking that witch hunters and courts would look for on the body of an accused person. Supposedly, witches would suckle their familiars, and sometimes the Devil himself, from this “unholy” body part. To find these marks, as well as insensitive spots on the skin called devil’s marks–caused by the Devil’s claws or teeth–the suspects were stripped, shaven, then closely examined for any blemishes, moles, or even scars that could be labeled as diabolical. To find marks invisible to the eye, the examiner would poke the victim inch by inch with a blunt needle (called a bodkin) until they found a spot that didn’t feel pain or bled. Discovery of these marks or spots–one supposes they would be considered cold since they were a sign of communion with the Devil–would be “proof” of the person’s dealings with Scratch, so they would be shown in full court before the execution”.
Cold weather can cause problems with your health if you are not prepared,
especially the Kidneys and that can lead to back pain, stiffness and host
unwanted symptoms.
Although I now live in the Sun Belt, I was brought up in the northern
part of the USA and lived in the mountains of Colorado for years.
Winter is the season that you need to protect your kidneys.
In China the winters were long and cold, so they developed a system to
build energy, tonify the body and to nourish the internal organs to stay
healthy and strong. Qigong, diet and tonics play a major
part in nourishing the bodies immune system.
This is one of my favorites to keep your body warm and give you a
tremendous amount of energy on those cold days.

As for the best internal exercises, I focus on the grounding and
rooting practices and of course the kidney exercises.
Go through the Recharging Qi Gong book you’ll find plenty
of them to build your Qi and keep you warm all winter.
It’s extremely important to keep your low back warm during the
winter months.
The new program on Back Pain is a must if you have back problems. This works!
This weekend I was at an incredible workshop with
two doctors from Italy.
The topics were on Longevity medicine and
Aesthetic medicine,
basically that’s all about health and beauty.
I found it interesting that they put those two
subjects together.
When I was a Kid my father always said.
“If you don’t have your health you don’t have anything”.
I didn’t have a clue what he was telling me in my
younger years, But I do now!
We discussed specifically on the origin and where
wrinkles come from. People get wrinkles from a multitude of reasons.
In Western medicine, these are some of the major factors:
Ultraviolet sun rays
Tobacco
Inadequate diet
Excess alcohol
Loss of teeth
Improper chewing
Environmental dryness
Absence of cosmetic skin care
Abrupt weight loss
Sleep lines
In Chinese medicine, as we get older,
gravity and heat affects our body.
What it does is it heats up our organs and
eventually starts to atrophy. Think of it
this way; imagine your internal organs as a
beautiful plum.
Once you put it under the sun, it will dry up
like a prune in no time.
The organ itself will deteriorate, decrease in
size and wither away.
When this happens, we can actually see it
externally as wrinkles in our face.
If you want to keep your face from wrinkling
and slow the aging process, you need to detoxify
your body.
Detoxification clears the heat from the organs and
re-hydrates the body.
It will then reflect in our face.
If you want to stay young as long as you can

Great Detox Sale.
I had hundreds of people come in for
the cleansing program that included
*Acupuncture
*Lymphatic Drainage
*Light Therapy
*Homeopathic Detox.
If you want More Energy, Better Sleep, a Clearer
Mind and Dropped Pounds
Than this program is for you.
Call the office 305 932-2202 and make an appointment
to Secure your place today.
We usually charge $269 for this
detox program but until March 15th.
Every day we accumulate toxins from the food we eat,
the water we drink and the air we breathe.
Even our negative thoughts affect us as toxic poisons
and those accumulated poisons interfere with the quality
of life.
The world is overburdened by chemicals that we are not
able to process nor eliminate without help and this is
a major source of disease.
Every day I see patients at my office complaining that they
have no energy, their sex drive is gone, they only have a
bowel movement every few days, they are bloated, full of gas
and over weight and Don’t Have a Clue Why.
I was in Switzerland last summer at the Paracelsus clinic
interning with Dr. Thomas Rau. He told me a story that
I will always remember.
He said,” Our bodies are like a big garbage-can.
Every day we put something in the can and sooner or later it
fills up and garbage spills over. The next thing you know
there are flies maggots and rats everywhere.
We can spray the flies, and poison the rats but that doesn’t
solve the problem. If you want to solve the problem you need
to empty the garbage-can and the pests will disappear. ”
We eat drink and are exposed to a multitude of poisons daily
and eventually our body fills up with a toxic overload and the
next thing we know we have some dis-ease.
You can try to kill it with medicines, but until you clean up
the underlining problem you are just covering-up the real thing.
So what’s the solution?
It’s a Detox, Cleaning out the Colon, Liver and the Kidneys.
I prescribe a combination of three remedies for 2 weeks
to purify your body of toxins, and cleanse the entire system.
It enhances the circulation, improves your digestion and cleans
toxic substances that relieve symptoms of illness caused by an
unhealthy lifestyle and/or exposure to environmental toxins.
The program will:
1. Detox the lymphatic system
