Research about Acupuncture
February 27th, 2008 · No Comments
I’ve done quite a bit of research on what has been written about the effectiveness of acupuncture and Oriental medicine. One of the best collections of articles I’ve found is Dr. Melissa Carr’s Active Life Clinic’s Research and Articles page. Actually, I didn’t find it, she told me herself - thanks, Melissa.

How many herbs are missing from Chinese Medicine?
February 25th, 2008 · No Comments
The Chinese and other Oriental medical systems are the most comprehensive for analyzing the healing properties of herbs. However, the Oriental medical traditions don’t have a monopoly on healing herbs. Native Americans have their own healing traditions, as do Africans, Europeans, Pacific Islanders, East Indians, and more.
I remember reading about how the deforestation of [...]

No More Closed Clinics - Ever!
February 14th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Acupuncture clinics close too often. I want to put an end to it. The major reason I went into marketing is because I wanted to know how to rescue bankrupt businesses… and marketing definitely can save clinics from closing.
Just about any business can be rescued with good marketing - as long as [...]

Attracting Your Favorite Type Of Patients
February 11th, 2008 · No Comments
I’d say about 1/3rd of the practitioners I’ve worked with have certain kinds of patients/conditions they like to treat, and almost specialize in. I know practitioners who focus on eye/vision conditions, emotional balance, sports injuries, gynecological issues, fertility, etc. Some are very clear that they like to specialize – others just kind of [...]

February 5th, 2008 · No Comments

There’s a much better way to do it. In fact, I believe I’ve [...]
