Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: Hiding in Plain Sight
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: Hiding in Plain Sight

Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) affects more than 15% of the U.S. population but evades most practitioners’ radar. Just five years ago, it wasn’t even on my radar, despite already having 20 years of experience as a clinician at that time. The more I dug (similar to leaky gut and post-COVID syndrome), the more I found my patients were suffering from this disorder.

Beyond Pain Relief: Distal Acupuncture for Restoring Muscle Recruitment in Microtrauma (Pt. 1)
Distal Acupuncture for Restoring Muscle Recruitment in Microtrauma

Research supports the effectiveness of selecting the distal acupuncture points for the treatment of microtrauma and for relieving pain, particularly in cases of chronic shoulder pain. But to make the treatment results long-lasting, clinical experience and research suggest that instead of treating the most painful structure first, we identify the inhibited driver, restore reliable recruitment, confirm it with immediate re-testing, and only then address the painful area as a branch of a deeper pattern.

May I Be the Medicine: How to Find Deep Motivation in Practice
May I Be the Medicine: How to Find Deep Motivation in Practice

The motivation behind our practice of medicine is important, impacting not just our experience but also the experiences of those we treat. It is perhaps for this reason that the aspiration to help not just some, but all beings heal, has historically been an important part of the medical tradition. To explain this, we need to consider how medicine is interwoven with other social domains.
