It’s very difficult for me to write anything these days without hearing these lyrics in my mind. Did I ever think that going to the supermarket would involve so much preparation? That walking in my neighborhood would become a daily matter of social distancing and attempting to pacify out-of-control neighbors?? Since March 30th, when my county officially began closing down, I began […]
These are difficult times for people to think about health. You cannot open a newspaper, watch the news, scroll through Facebook or flip through Instagram and YouTube without seeing/hearing another article on this year’s bumper crop of viruses, the pros and cons of vaccines, newly emerging heart and orthopedic diseases as well as the usual, mind-spinning conflicting and contradictory dietary […]
And somewhere, mid-December, my mind went into “park”. I was stuck. While I write this in late January of 2020, let me just say the past three or four weeks have vividly reminded me of my human failings – and the need for Traditional Chinese Medicine in my life. To recap: Those of you who are regular followers know that […]
By Susan Tretakis – Coral Springs, Florida – If writing about healthy food and good nutrition in November wasn’t difficult enough, writing about taking some time for care for just yourself in the month of December walks a scary line between sanity and insanity. December heralds a month where everyone I know is running in too many directions at once. […]
4 to 7 in every 1000 people suffer from elbow pain every year. Persons aged between 40 and 50 years are the most susceptible to elbow pain (Verhaar, 1994). The incidence of this condition is worse in women. For instance, up to 10 percent of women aged between 42 and 46 years experience elbow pain (Vicenzino & Wright, 1996). Many […]
I have to be honest; for me, beginning in September and throughout December, I feel as if I am under a continual attack from a variety of poor, unhealthy food choices. Tempting choices. Foods that I rarely think about now literally scream my name – from the television, from the free samples being given out at markets, from recipes demonstrated daily […]
Fibromyalgia, also known as fibromyalgia syndrome, is a chronic or lasting disorder that is generally symptomized by widespread continuous musculoskeletal aching that comes with memory problems or difficulties in paying attention, fatigue, depression and sleep problems. Fibromyalgia is blamed for amplifying pain around the body’s tender points by impacting on the way the brain processes pain signals. Women are at a […]
People are asking me whether I am ever to go to write for Care Wellness again. My immediate reaction is one of surprise: the concept of having actual “followers”- people out there who read my posts – and people really think that my research into TCM, Chinese herbs and acupuncture amount to more than just my opinion – is, truly, astounding […]
I used Dr. Robert for my acupuncturist needs when we were trying to get pregnant. It took us years. We finally used Dr. Robert. He showed up for me when I needed him the most. We did get pregnant. We now have a beautiful baby boy and it was because of him. I couldn't thank him enough. I hope if you are trying, that you would consider using them for your acupuncturist.
I have seen drastic improvements since I started seeing Dr. Herbst. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and treat my symptoms with herbs. Initially I was skeptical, but now I am a full believer in acupuncture and natural medicine. I would encourage everyone to try acupuncture at least for one month to feel the difference.
This is an important article about the ups and downs of modern health care. The idea that she couldn't get fresh fruit and vegetables and "real protein" like fresh eggs is shocking. More shocking is the idea that she shouldn't question the medical staff. As a rabbi, I spend a lot of time visiting people in the hospital. Often I am called upon to interpret what a doctor has said. I have a number of people who are using more and more holistic medicines like acupuncture and Qi. I am sharing this article with a number of people.
I began going to Dr. Robert Herbst in 2015 when I was struggling with unexplained infertility. He helped us conceive our beautiful little girl (which I wrote a review on previously with the timeline of that part of my story). I began going back to him again in July of 2018 as we were trying to have another baby with little success again. I was actually getting pregnant this time around but was unable to hold the pregnancies. When I met with him again, he asked me several questions and after looking at my tongue and checking my pulse, he basically told me in a nutshell that my body was in stress and I needed to take some time to reboot myself both physically and emotionally. I began doing acupuncture weekly, taking herbs again, and spending a little time each week on "me". He asked us not to try conceiving again for a couple months until he felt like I was strong enough. In late September he gave us the go ahead to try for this next cycle. We conceived our son the first week of October!!! I had really bad anxiety about losing this baby as well so I started going to him twice a week for a few weeks which really helped! I am currently almost 15 weeks pregnant and I can honestly say that both of my children were conceived because of Dr. Robert's help! I am so grateful for him and everything he has done for my family! I recommend anyone who is struggling with having a baby to go see him!
Robert the acupuncturist was fantastic. I started using him during the start of IVF process. I continued services for 4 months. He was very pleasant, professional, kind and supportive. I would definitely recommend him for your acupuncture needs. It was with his assistant the process was a success and expecting first baby girl in February 2019.
