New Clarification for Virginia Patients on the Accuracy of Lyme Disease Testing

One patient's video testimonial:

"Hi, My name is Dave and last March, about a year ago,  I came to NIHA to see Dr. Coy. I have had carpal tunnel syndrome and diagnosed for over 10 years and had suffered with it. Early last year it got so bad that I went to see a surgeon and had scheduled surgery on both of my wrists for April of last year.

After talking to a friend and another physican, my cousin's wife, who threatened me not to have surgery, my friend suggested I come see Dr. Coy Roskosky, which I did. I began seeing him in late March of last year and over a period of several months I had a vast improvement  in my wrists and got to the point where I was almost symptom free.

I Cancelled My Surgery

Real dairy is healthy and can be enjoyed by most people, but modern dairy practices have altered the type of product we now consume.

Do you enjoy dairy products but are concerned whether they are actually good for you?

Have you experienced lactose intolerance or other unpleasant side effects when eating dairy?

What if I told you, it’s not the cow’s fault- it’s the processing methods used today that may be affecting you, and that there is healthy digestible dairy out there?

The Problem with Industrialized Dairy

Dairy has received such a bad rap over the years and rightly so if we’re talking about milk, ice cream, butter and other products that you buy off the grocery shelf. These products have been so altered from the type of dairy that was enjoyed straight from the farm for many, many years and by many societies. The dairy our ancestors drank gave them great health, strong bones, vitality and longevity.

So, What Happened?

Changing with the Seasons

Classical Chinese Medicine is unique in that practitioners of the Classical way take into account the seasonal shifts in our treatment strategies.   For example, we are moving out of the time of hibernation, quiet and storage (winter) into a time of egress, growth and change (spring).  Our external environment goes from grey, cold and dead to green, temperate and nurturing. Treatment strategies should facilitate mirroring climactic changes with the functions of the body.  The process of the seasons changing can be tough on our bodies as we have collectively forgotten how to live within the seasonal mandate and sometimes we need a bit of help to adjust.
