A study done in Japan (where, believe it or not, one of my best friends who is an acupuncturist and is married to a Japanese women, who tells me acupuncture is not held in very high regard) where they did a double blind study with those dealing with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.  Very convincing results! Showing how well treatments can actually relax the thoracic muscles that in turn will help in respiratory functions.  Acupuncture is also very effective with asthma and sleep apnea.

I know in Asheville we have some wonderful dairies that make amazing cheeses.  We have the Hop and Ultimate Ice Cream that are ever so wonderful on a hot summer day.  BUT, to get your daily dose of calcium nothing does the body good like VEGGIES!  Yes green veggies are the best way to get your calcium RDA’s. Kale, Chard, broccoli, and collards are rich in calcium.  Too much dairy mucks up the intestines and impedes upon the pancreas’s digestive support.  Here is a great list of some power calcium packed foods, some might surprise you.
