While studying acupuncture in Austin, my teacher Dr. Ma said that women who desire and have trouble getting pregnant, get very stressed out. This stress further complicates achieving good results.

How does stress complicate fertility?

I enjoy the opportunity to treat many austin residents that come into our south central austin acupuncture clinic with stomach pain/ digestive disorders which their MD’s have no answer or worse, no help. I find that addressing the root of any health imbalance brings about relief of pain and other symptoms and also stops the problem from endlessly continuing. So today, instead of describing how I do this, I thought I would let you read what a fellow patient wrote about their own experience with us and our process. Enjoy!!

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!!

For many of my patients in Austin, Soy is a preferred healthy alternative to milk. Soy is a subsidized crop in the US which means it is the second most common crop grown in our country. With popularity comes problems. For starters most of the Soy consumed has been genetically modified. When insects won’t eat a food, why would you or I?

In the first of a 4 part series regarding common food allergies, I went into all the names of corn and how corn can affect a person ‘s health negatively if they are sensitive to it. In this segment we cover Milk and all it’s wholesome, well almost, goodness. Some people will actually have lactose intolerance which usually expresses as digestive problems like bloating, gas, abdominal cramping, pain and nausea. Other more insidious milk allergies express themselves in the skin with rashes like eczema and most forms of dermatitis.

As you will find as you read on, corn has many names. I am writing this for those people in our Austin community who have ANY neurological health problem. From diabetic neuropathy to tremors to numbness. Corn products will typically agitate those symptoms, causing you to suffer more. So, without further ado, here is a long list of corn-based products and byproducts:

 Alcohol(Liquor) and vinegar

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C)

Aspartame

Baking powder (starch component is corn starch)

Bleached flour (can contain cornstarch)
