Biocharger

While there is no substitute for personal touch and compassionate interaction, the technological advances of the last century have much to offer.   The Biocharger is a hybrid subtle energy revitalization platform that works to optimize health, wellness and athletic performance by balancing the energy of every cell in your body.

Each Biocharger session bathes your entire body with four distinct, harmonious energy fields. These energies have been proven to restore strength, stamina, coordination and mental clarity.  

I’ve worked with many such devices over the last 25 years.  Some have cost as little as $50 and some as much as $50,000.  The Biocharger is the most effective of all that I have experienced.  Based on the pioneering work of Nikola Tesla, Royal Raymond Rife and Georges Lakhovsky in the early 1900’s the design integrates the best of the best innovations.

I consider myself an “open-minded skeptic”.  When I first saw the Biocharger and looked at the website, I was marginally intrigued.  Doing my due diligence, I went and experienced it first hand.  Let’s just say I truly didn’t expect the level of energy and performance I had after several sessions.  Based on my personal experience, I realized this would be a valuable tool for my most difficult patient conditions.

My experience confirmed the testimonials by olympic athletes, professional sports teams and cutting-edge clinics that integrate Biocharger into their offices.

In my quest to find affordable solutions to difficult health challenges, the Biocharger provides a viable option.  By being able to treat up to 8 people at a time, treatments can be effective and affordable. Sessions are offered several times a day at specific times.

Biocharger treatment in the context of an acupuncture or massage sessions are at no additional charge.

Success Tips for Massage Therapists

I've been teaching massage therapy for almost 20 years and I've seen many fine students go on to success and also failure.  While I feel fortunate to have made a living in this profession, students often don't realize that I've done it by creating multiple streams of income.

I recently posted a video to my YouTube channel discussing ways that I've managed to thrive when others have not.

Take a look.  Click here.

I hope you find this information helpful.

Massage Therapy Student Resources

I have been teaching the Massage Therapy program at Stark State College in Canton, Ohio since 1999.  As a resource for students, I recorded many of the techniques and routines taught in the course.  I've found that my patients, colleagues and people from around the world have subscribed to my YouTube Channel to learn from this free resource.

I invite you to take advantage of these videos, wether you are a non-professional looking for a way to treat shoulder pain, a massage therapy student wanting to review, or a professional exploring other perspectives on techniques.

I hope my teaching provides useful information for you, whatever your needs.

New Office Location

I've recently moved the acupuncture office to the Total Health and Wellness building at 2401 & 2403 Whipple Ave. NW in Canton. 

My office is in the lower level of 2403 Whipple.  It's one building with 2 addresses; one for the upper and one for the lower part.

The team at Total Health and Wellness have a strong belief in a holistic approach.  They offer counseling services, yoga, art therapy, massage and now my services of acupuncture, Reiki and massage therapy.

I'm glad to be a part of this group of professionals as we expand the vision of the center.

Akron-Canton Hot List: Thanks for Voting for Us


I'd like to thank everyone who voted for us.  Whereas we were Number 1 last year, we came up number 2 this year.  Congrats to the winner in Akron.  I appreciate coming in 2nd in a contest we didn't even enter.    Click here to see the award.

I am again surprised by the award because we didn't ask anyone to vote for us.  The fact that people voted without any encouragement from us is appreciated.

We'll continue to do everything we can to help our patients and to be deserving of this award.

Thank you.

Which Nutritional Supplements Should I Take?

"Which Nutritional Supplements Should I Take?"  I hear this every week in my acupuncture practice.  It's a reasonable question.  Even conventional medical doctors are realizing that it is difficult to get optimal nutrients in a modern American diet.

This blog is not going to discuss every reason we might benefit from supplementation.  But, consider these few items:


1. Most food is grown on nutrient depleted soils.  If it's not in the soil, it's not in the food.


2. Most food is sprayed with pesticides and herbicides.  These toxins create additional stress on the body.


3. Stressful lifestyles cause the body to burn through nutrients more rapidly.


Each one of those topics could be a chapter in a book.  But let's cut to the chase.…where to start?  


The following are general suggestions for your consideration.


1. If you can only take one product, consider a good Multi-Vitamin.  I carry products form several companies and they all make good Multi-Vitamins.  The one I personally use is Life Extension Mix Tablets.  This may not be a good fit for some as they suggest 9 per day.  I use 6 per day, but I understand that some people only want to take a "One a Day" or "Two per Day" supplement.  Life Extension makes those as well.


The reason I'm willing to take that many tablets is that is has so many plant extracts, minerals and unique nutrients, it covers a lot of bases in one product.


2. Fish oil/Omega 3 Fatty acids.  If you're willing to add another product, essential fats have many benefits from supporting a healthy inflammatory response to promoting heart health.  My personal choice is Life Extensions' Super Omega 3.


Also, I don't think it's wise to buy inexpensive supplements.  Use name brand supplements by companies that specialize in nutritional products.  It would be better, in my opinion, to take less of a quality product than to buy cheap products and take full doses.


With those 2 general products as a foundation, you can add others that are targeted to your specific needs.  


Important supplements that many people can benefit from include CoQ 10 and Vitamin D.  How do you know if you need to supplement with those?  Easy!  Get a blood test.  You may have to request these and your insurance may not cover them.  However, check with http://www.lifeextension.com to see if their blood test prices are less expensive than what your doctor would charge.


Another service Life Extension offers is that you can discuss your blood test results with a physician on staff.  They can give you another perspective on your needs based on your blood work.


If your CoQ 10 or Vitamin D levels are not optimal, these would be excellent additions to your wellness program.


This article was not intended to be a plug for the Life Extension Foundation, but their products are the foundation of my personal wellness program.  I use products from several companies but I do notice that most of them are from Life Extension.


Good nutritional support is just one pillar of a healthy lifestyle.  Adequate exercise, quality sleep and stress reduction are also important.


It would be nice if it didn't matter what we did and we could just feel great.  For most of us, our conscious choices will determine how good we feel and how much quality of life we have.
