A Friend In Pain Gets Needled

A friend of mine has problems with Recurrent Bursitis, being painful and causing for a lack of sleep. He needed help, which Ibuprophen will only cause problems via side effects, so via an appointment with City Acupuncture of New York at 139 Fulton Street in Lower Manhattan by Nassau Street, he is getting that emergency help.

Treatment is inexpensive and helpful and like in Asia, is done community style, in zero gravity chairs or on massage tables.

I could use this treatment in the future. It is low cost and health giving.

The 11 Game Streak Is A Day Late And A "Penny" Short-Acupuncture By A Member Of "The Nation"

Brad Penny may be as large as David Wells, but Wells was a much-better pitcher:

Julio Lugo SUCKS..
Julio Lugo SUCKS..
Julio Lugo SUCKS..
Julio Lugo SUCKS..
Julio Lugo SUCKS..
Julio Lugo SUCKS..
Julio Lugo SUCKS..
Julio Lugo SUCKS..
Julio Lugo SUCKS..
Julio had an error. He's NOT a fan favorite in Red Sox Nation. He's a fan favorite on the lines of Eric Gagne'(NOT);

Ditto, Javier Lopez with the Last Error of The Game, giving the Cleveland Indians a 9-8 Victory, in the Empty "Jake" Last Evening;

I was viewing the game at "The Hairy Monk" last night, with Amanda of Southie, Ed Trotter(Most Knowledgeable Red Sox Fan I know of), and Samantha of Chatsworth, MA;

The Game was NOT pretty to watch, AT ALL. I had an acupuncture treatment, where my acupuncturist, Samina, confessed to being a a fan of the Olde Towne Team. This treatment was in Jackson Heights, Queens,5 #7 Train Stations away from Citi Field. I was debating as to whether or not to go to Citi Field(Mets lost 7-4);

If I want to forget last night's debacle, I think that another Acu-treatment is in store, today. Shall it be with Samina in Astoria, or Wilton in Woodside. Wilton lives in Washington Heights, in Upper Manhattan, in the Land of Manny Ramirez;

And Ed Trotter, in observing David Ortiz, suspects that Ortiz may have run out of Homer Power, in that David may be close to finished as a Homer Hitter. He may be at the end of his cycle as a power hitter;

I think Ed has a point. Ortiz has been homer-less for all of April;

Amanda brought out a point about Pedro Martinez-Pedro's Ego is BIGGER than his arm. Pedro could be classified as a DIVA;

I learned quite a bit from the Massachusetts Arm of Red Sox Nation, as I tend to think along the Massachusetts Arm of The Nation. The Massachusetts Arm did NOT like The Eric Gagne' Deal, whereas the NY Arm of The Nation, embraced the Gagne' Deal, until the chant of "You Suck, Gagne'", became commonplace in Red Sox Pubs in NYC. I, being the 1st Red Sox Blogger to criticize that move to obtain Gagne', caught some hell for my criticism of the deal, a deal which made Theo Natan Epstein(Born in 1973 on the UWS), look somewhat like Omar Minaya(Yikes). The Writer, who called me on The Gagne' Deal, recently called Gagne', "That Vast, Canadian Wasteland" and "World Series Ring Thief". That guy is NYC(Brooklyn) Born n Bred(So am I). Yet, at Fenway Park, on 08/30/07, I heard Michelle, with her Daughter, tell me just how unnecessary the Gagne' Deal was;

Samantha and Amanda were fun to be with. Ed Trotter is so-informative. I was glad to be at The Hairy Monk, last evening, even if the game sucked, as we were stuck with "Sports Time Ohio", the Cleveland Indians TV Network;

Next Stop-Professor Thom's, where chants of "F--- The Riviera" abound. Ed Trotter made this point as to what REAL Red Sox Fan, ever goes to The Riviera;

I know of NONE;

Pez!

An Acupuncture Treatise

An Acupuncture Treatise:

The year was 1972. The President of the US of A, Mr. Nixon, decided to engage in dialogue with The Peoples Republic of China:

One of the side-benefits of this diplomatic exchange, was the discovery of Traditional Chinese Medicine, in its' popular form, called Acupuncture. It was demonstrated during a surgical procedure, as seen on American Television;

Being one who was somewhat-skeptical & Anti-Communist, I had my doubts, but mostly from an ideological, and not from a scientifical standpoint. The ideological standpoint is that if it came from a Communist Country, it wasn't Good Old American, meaning that it was substandard, & Anti-American;
But, over years of growing in wisdom by observation and experimentation, 3000 years of Traditional Chinese Medicine can't be all wrong;

In fact, Hippocrates taught Doctors ''1st, do no harm'', and by judging what American Pharmaceuticals do with all those side effects, one wonders if the treatment is worse than the illness. Medical conditions like IBS, are often treated with pharmaceuticals which treat only symptoms, but not the root cause, while Traditional Asian Medicine, gets to the cause and cures the condition & associated conditions;

In TCM, Mind and Body are one. Western Medicine tends towards parts rather than the whole. & with acupuncture being integrated into Americana, Americans now have a choice in the way they wish to be treated, medically.

Thank GOD for Healthy Choices.

It's gradual treatment, which works and heals without side effects, except the side effect of becoming well.
