I just wanted to say thank you for the great gift of healing you have and share. When I came to see you just a couple months ago, I hadn't been able to sit up strait due to the pain it caused me to try. For someone who did yoga for 6 years before being disabled this is hard to accept as I know sitting out of alignment takes you out of alignment farther. We always imagined our spine in alignment during yoga.
I am from Brazil and I came to Fayetteville to study English in January 2009. However, I almost went back to my country because of the pain from nerves pinched in my cervical spine, which has gotten worse of over the past 5 years. Therefore, in order to continue my studies I had to treat it here. Fortunately, I met Dr. Adrian whose treatments made my neck pain of the last 5 years go away. I am so grateful. His good work made it possible for me to continue with my studies and I am sure I will go back to Brazil in August 2009 in better healthy.

Acupuncture Offers Benefits in Alleviating Breast Cancer Treatment Side-Effects
by: Dave Gabriele, citizen journalist
(NaturalNews) A 2008 American study, which appeared in the September issue of The International Journal of Radiation Oncology, examined the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating women coping with the side effects of conventional breast cancer medicine. Eleanor Walker, M.D., a radiation oncologist at the Henry Ford Hospital Department of Radiation Oncology in Detroit, led a team of researchers to compare acupuncture treatment with the common anti-estrogen treatment used to control breast cancer therapy side effects. The side effects, such as hot flashes and depression, affect about 80% of women treated for breast cancer and are usually treated by the pharmaceutical anti-depressant venlafaxine (Effexor). Many breast cancer patients refuse venlafaxine because of its own set of negative side effects.
